A Luxurious, Authentic Log Cabin Located 4,000' High in the Smokies

This home was extremely clean, spacious and well stocked! It had everything we needed for our stay. Add to that the beautiful porch to sit and enjoy the Mountain View and we couldn’t have asked for more!

We had a fantastic, family time at the cabin, played cards and games. Once you got used to the winding roads, it was easy to get up and down the mountain. I'd definitely like to return some day.

Everything was perfect. Looking forward to the next visit.

This is the second time we've stayed at Sandy's house. It's a nice, fairly comfortable house way up in the woods, beyond Lake Glenville. It's a little far from Cashiers and/or Highlands, but it's a pretty drive to either place.

The house is situated up a nice, wooded, private neighborhood drive. The big back porch has a lovely view of the woods & mountains. There's like zero light pollution, so if you lean way back on the back porch, you can see just a ton of stars.

The kitchen is fine. Everything works. The living room is nice and comfortable. The master bedroom is a decent size, with maybe a queen sized bed? It was comfortable enough. The main floor bath has a great tub with a hand sprayer, but no shower. There are showers in the "basement", and upstairs; though the upstairs shower had poor water pressure last time we were there. We didn't try it this time. It's all nicely decorated, and could easily fit a whole family with two sets of bunk beds in the basement, and another bedroom and a den with a couch upstairs. And the place is well cleaned.

The are very few "cons" - You have to take your garbage with you, which is minor. You make your own bed on arrival, which is not bad, except the fitted sheet had shrunk a bit, and took both of us wrestling the mattress to get it on.

Clearly I'd go back again, because I already have. It's a nice place.

Positives - They greatly outnumber any negatives. The price is really reasonable. The home is comfortable, and we found it to be clean. We only used the main floor, on which there was a bedroom, very nice bathroom with a great tub, and hand-held sprayer. The kitchen was clean and spacious enough, with plenty of counter top, and a small breakfast table. It had a formal dining area, a nice, comfy living room with a gas fire, satellite tv, and a large porch with chairs, a swing, and an amazing view. There was a bedroom, bathroom, and seating area with a couch upstairs, and bunk beds in the basement as well, although we only went down there for a minute to make sure all the doors were locked up properly, so I didn't really look around. The area is quite picturesque, and you feel like you're really out in the woods, but it's still not that far from Cashiers. It had wifi, which wasn't fast, but was quite sufficient for my needs.

Negatives - Are so minor, really, they wouldn't prevent us from staying here again if we were looking to rent a cabin. There is no real shower on the first floor, and the shower on the 2nd floor has really bad water pressure to the extent that there is no point in trying to use it. So if you don't like baths, you won't be happy. The oven smoked badly, someone staying before must have let something burn on the bottom, so we gave up trying to use it at all. You have to take your garbage to the dump. This wasn't really an issue, just something to be aware of. It made us more careful about wastefulness, which is not a bad thing at all.
