Overall it’s a nice, cozy little cabin! We enjoyed the view and hanging in the hot tub. It could be so much more enjoyable with a few little updates. Two of the three beds were extremely firm, the ceiling fans in both bedrooms are unusable because they made loud scraping noises when on, and the pans were in such rough shape you couldn’t safely cook on them. If these items were fixed it would easily be a five star stay!

If you want seclusion, this is it! Very quite except the wonderful sounds of the woods and creek nearby. Very clean. No sighting of wildlife at cabin. Very close to Maggie Valley. The cabin could use some more kitchen cooking utensils, but overall very satisfied with the cabin. The road the cabin is on is a very tricky left hand turn, you will most likey have to turn in and back up a few times to get a full sized truck up it. There is not much trafic on the road, so you should be good. Also the driveway is shared with another cabin, so it could be tricky with several vehicles. Not much room to park for both cabins. All in all I would recommend.

Response from VrboOwner on Sep 22, 2023
Thank you for staying with us. We greatly appreciate the feedback. We do send every guest an email and tenant letter letting guests know well in advance they need to bring their own paper products as well as soaps. Also, this part of the mountain does not have trash pick-up. In order to prevent wildlife from getting into trash we do ask guests to either take their own trash or, for a hassle free option, leave $5 cash per bag and our cleaner will gladly take it for our guests. We do encourage anyone looking to stay with us to reach out with any questions or concerns. We are available for you and always respond promptly.
