We are so lucky to have a white Christmas, as well as to have the opportunity enjoying it in this cabin. Everything is very handy in the cabin, it just made us feel at home.

House Great, but still waiting on returned deposit from trip in October 2010

I have contacted the owners excessively via email, through VRBO and via phone, but am still awaiting a returned deposit from October 2010 trip (it is now March 2011). The house was as described and trip was very enjoyable, however lack of professionalism and responsiveness lead me to place this commentary as a warning to future renters. We left the house exactly as found and in perfect condition. I do not want to resort to negative commentary but feel at this point I have no choice.

Owner response:When dealing with the public opinions differ greatly as to the cabin condition..

We had a family vacation with five of us...all adults that spent three nights at the Bear Foot Hide_Away over a long weekend. It was a wonderful time. All of the descriptions and pictures do not do the cabin and the facilities justice. It was immaculately clean and very comfortable. It was very well furnished and stocked with all the necessary items like linens, dishes, etc. It was also very conveniently located to the recreation facilities. We had excellent communication with the owner prior to our trip and found him to be very easy to work with. All-in-all having such a comfortable place to stay made our vacation very enjoyable. We hope to stay there again soon.

I found the owners of the cabin to very unprofessional. Their paper work is scanned copies of an old document. They did not calculate totals for the deposit or the total amount. They asked me to do it. The communications they sent were confusing and used poor grammar. At the end, they rented the cabin to another customer before the 10 days I had to send my deposit were completed and did not contact me to see if my deposit was in the mail.

Owner response:We would like to respond to tihs E-mail Tracy calls to book our cabin. When we ask for a $200.00 deposit from her credit card she informs me that there is not enough money left on the card and could she send in the $200.00 deposit by mail I agree and she also sends an E-mail that she would send the deposit in 3 days. Two weeks go by no phone call,no E-mail,no check. We notify her that we can no longer hold the verbal phone reservation at that point she said that she would put check in the mail the next day and that she was sorry and had forgot to mail one. At this point we decline her offer. She then became very upset and wrote this negative E-mail that you see on our site. Sincerely John & Huguette Owners

The cabin was beautiful and everything was as described and expected. John was easy to reach and returned phone calls, which was much appreciated! Would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone looking to stay in the Bryson City area.

We spent a lovely weekend in April at the cabin, and were pleased beyond expectation. Everything was superb. The cabin is outstanding, the grounds and surrounding area were beautiful. We had the most wonderful, relaxing time. We will be certain to return soon. Thanks to the owners for providing such a clean, cozy retreat! Tim ansd Laura

What a wonderful choice we made when we rented your cabin, (or should I say beautiful home!)for our family vacation to ride the Polar Express. The cabin had everything we needed and was so beautiful and comfortable that we have highly recommended it to our friends. Not only did we enjoy our stay, but the homeowners were wonderful to rent from as well. Looking forward to renting again.

The pictures did not do the cabin justice. The cabin was very nice/clean and inviting. It is in a great location but still private. The moutain view was nice as well.
