If you’re looking for a rustic place where no one will bother you, this is your place. While the place can use some updates and repairs, it is very clean and comfortable. There is plenty of wildlife in the area, and if so chose, you can completely go off grid with the world as there is not any cell signal. There is WiFi that is available. Hot tub fits 4 comfortably. A small stream adds to the nature feel with the clean running water. The community road can be daunting though as it is has steep hills and is gravel, so be prepared and having a higher profile vehicle is necessary, not a lower riding car

Perfect Mountain Hideaway

We were anxious because of some reviews concerning the road leading to the cabin. Yes it was a gravel road and yes it’s in the mountains, so there are ups, downs and some curves, but my brother’s RAV4 had no issues. Yes there are bugs in the woods, some got in the house, but they didn’t bother us. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer!

Great cabin, great location. A lot of privacy.

Enjoyed the cabin. It was comfortable and roomy. However, was disappointed with hot tub (temperature would not increase above 62) and wood stove in living room was not operable.

Our stay at Moose Creek

The home was nice and had lots of space. We felt that it was time for some updates. As older folks, we felt that the upper entry could use some stone and step leveling to make it easier to get up on the porch. The road is narrow and very winding but accessible if you take slowly. Overall a good stay

Perfect getaway to unplug, relax, & unwind

This cabin was perfect for our family! 8 of us plus 1 dog! There was plenty of space for everyone to hang out! Plenty cookware, linens, and towels!! The kids had a blast playing in the creek finding craw dads and salamanders! If you’re looking for somewhere to just relax let go and let the kids play outdoors worry free this is your spot! No cell service was the wifi worked great for us! We will definitely be returning!!

Great house for large family

The cabin is large, plenty of room. Definitely needs some updates on lighting and shower fixtures. The hot tub needs maintenance, and different heating source needed downstairs. Property management/cleaning management also definitely needs improvement. This is a pet friendly house and it shows.

Powell/Markakis Family vacation

This property was perfect for a family vacation. The road to get to the house was a little rough for us Florian’s. Not used to mountain driving. The house was very clean, lots of room and very homey. Enjoyed the outdoor fire pit and the sound of the creek. Only negative, the grill didn’t work while we stayed and we had planned on grilling. Really turned out to bit be a problem. I would highly recommend this house to anyone that enjoys a peaceful vacation. Perfect.

Quiet getaway weekend

The location is perfect for secluded quiet time. The road to get to the cabin can be a little difficult depending upon the vehicle you drive. The cabin is spectacular with lodge feel. Beautifully decorated and space for people toget away and spread out. Cell service is obsolete. WiFi is the only option for service but even then some cellular service is un obtainable. The hot tub was a great addition to the location. The beds are firm and the headboard in the lower bedroom can be difficult for some. The cleanliness of the cabin was spectacular. All the amenities that you need including a K cup coffee pot is provid I I love you, but you’re gonna have to slow down a little bit and give my meds time to. ed, but it’s not listed in the details.

Systemic issues need correction

Yes, we enjoyed our vacation because I have a great family. No - although the house is situated in a pleasant spot, convenient to area attractions (Cherokee), with wonderful neighbors (thank you Janice! and Rodney!) - we cannot recommend staying at the Lodge unless the owner makes important changes. We did not have A/C because the system is broken and needs to be fully replaced. There is no landline and no cell service anywhere in the neighborhood. Internet is limited and would not allow VOIP calls from cell phones. The washing machine circuit was not functional and I had to wash laundry in the sink. The room with twin bunk beds is not a bedroom since there is no egress window. We took all of our trash home because the garbage cans were filled up and trash was not collected on schedule. After our stay, I corrected the Google Maps location on behalf of the owners, because initially we got stuck down the wrong driveway. These are only the top issues of a 17 point list. After spending the vacation and several days afterwards chatting with VACASA, we did gratefully receive a partial refund. But the discount, nice lodge porch, and a bed for each family member, was not sufficient to make up for the systemic issues that need correction and that likely were present/known to VACASA prior to our arrival.

Hot tub was dirty. Advertised a wood burning fireplace, but it was inoperable. Downstairs gas logs didn't work. No rocking chairs on front porch as pictured. Couldn't find a ball for the foosball table. Space is good for a family. Kids enjoyed the creek.

We loved the setting and privacy. Beautiful home and very comfortable for our family of five with a dog. The home has everything you need for a nice stay. The hot tub did not smell like chlorine so we did not try it since many people may visit. The home was clean and cozy.

WCU College Tour

This was a great location for us to not only tour the college but to experience the mountains. Primitive road to get to the home could be quite the experience at night and I am very glad we arrived in daylight! The kids had a great time exploring and our dog was very happy to have a fenced in area to run free.

WCU graduation weekend

We had a lovely time at the Moose creek lodge. Clean and comfortable. Took a lil longer than expected to get up to home…15 minutes from main highway. The only main issue we had was 3 bedrooms downstairs with only 1/2 bath. 2 full baths upstairs with one bedroom. We made it work for the long weekend. The fire pit and hot tub were great! Property is beautiful. The property managers were very accessible.
