Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Check in was easy with door code. The cabin is attractive- furnishings are fresh & it is very clean. It is a small cabin, accommodating 2 people - perfect for couples We did have difficulty operating the AC unit. The host was unable to resolve the issue, and as a solution, he offered that we stay in the larger cabin for the remainder of our stay. We stayed in Mama Bear after that. This cabin is also beautiful, fresh & comfortably furnished. There is a wonderful screened in porch & wonderful light in the common room/kitchen area. Location of the cabins is excellent- very close to the Nantahala Outdoor Center & River’s End Restaurant. Rivers End is definitely a favorite!We enjoyed kayaking & a hike (Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest) during our stay. It is noteworthy that the loft ceiling in Mama Bear cabin is low & we could not stand up fully there (my height is 5’6”). Other than our AC difficulty, the amenities were nicely done - including a kitchen area with the basics. There are seats by the river which was a peaceful spot to pss the evening. The host was responsive to our questions & requests- we messaged through the app as needed. I recommend stays st either cabin.
