This home was beautiful! High end appliances and very comfortable furniture. We loved the lake setting and outdoor living space was perfect for a fall weekend!
Had an amazing stay at this beautiful home! Lots of space to enjoy family time in a very relaxing atmosphere. State of the art upgrades throughout the house in the kitchen and bathrooms and a gorgeous back deck to enjoy watching tv outside. Definitely staying here again! Host was always available to answer questions.
Close to Maggie Valley and Waynesville, but out of the way of the crowds. Lovely view, huge decks. Home needs a few minor tweaks (mattresses replaced, Wifi improved, cable TV fixed) but overall a wonderful place. Would stay here again.
Beautiful property with amazing views! It was perfect for our party of 9. Only complaint was water pressure in the showers but the bath in the main bedroom was amazing.

Such an Awesome Property
We were in town for a lacrosse tournament and this house was perfect. So many upgrades and the owners did a great job of making sure every detail was taken care of. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything that we needed and more. The beds were all very comfortable. Can’t say enough great things about it! Thanks for the perfect stay!

Comfortable and serene - luxurious accommodations
We loved staying at the Carolina Cabin. The setting was peaceful and serene. The house was outfitted with every accommodation you think you might need, and even ones you didn't know you needed (hello, heated toilet seat). The furnishings and finishings were top notch, and felt very luxurious. It was comfortable and warm, and even accommodating for the kids. It was a treat for our family to stay here, and I'd love to come back again.

Peaceful and Beautiful views
This house was perfect. Views from house is amazing. It was very peaceful and away from all city noises. House was well equipped with all necessary items for our stay. The game room was awesome for kids and wrapped around patio was awesome for chit chat while you sip coffee in the morning. Only thing we missed was outdoor fire pit.

Just ok
The house is beautiful, spacious, and the views are great. The kitchen is lovely and well stocked. Plenty of bathrooms. One bedroom with bath upstairs; 2 bedrooms and 2 baths downstairs. Another downstairs bedroom was a "bunk room" - 2 sets of bunk beds - this room has NO windows - gave it more of a tomb feel. House has 1 television on each floor - each above the fireplace - uncomfortable placement for viewing. The televisions also only had a couple of channels for viewing. The game console that could have been used to play the DVDs available in the home did not work - it was missing connection cords. There is a game room - only accessible through the garage. The air hockey table was broken. Not an issue for us - didn't want to go up there or use the table. Our main concern was the lack of wifi. We were unable to use the wifi - for work or entertainment. Multiple calls and texts were made to VACASA who assured us the issue would be addressed and fixed. It was not. The other issues we asked for help with were also ignored. This is very disappointing as it seems VACASA has lots of rental properties in the area. Again, the house is beautiful, but due to the lack of response from the rental agency I cannot recommend staying in this property.
