Peaceful, Comfortable Mountain GetawayThis cabin was exactly what we were looking for. It was quiet, private, and surrounded by nature, making it easy to truly relax. The location felt secluded but was still within a reasonable drive to Asheville and nearby mountain towns.The hot tub was a highlight — very clean and perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. Sitting in the warm water in total silence was incredibly relaxing. Inside, the cabin was cozy and well-maintained, with comfortable recline seating that made evenings especially enjoyable.Everything was clean, thoughtfully set up, and designed for comfort. We appreciated how peaceful the area was — no noise, no crowds, just a calm mountain atmosphere.This is a great place for anyone looking to disconnect, recharge, and enjoy a true mountain retreat. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it.

We loved the views, the one floor layout, the extras left like spices and cooking oil and a few dishwasher detergents, hair dryers…loved the hot tub and cafe lights and we got to see the beautiful snow the last two days!

The House is okay. Some areas, particularly the small pantry, require more attention to cleaning. There were some signs of mouse droppings, and the linens looked old. Also, I think guests should be advised in advance that there are bears in the area.
The cabin was just as described, very beautiful view and comfortable inside. The beds were comfortable, the WIFI worked great, the check in process was very simple. Communication from the management company was excellent. I was able to log on to their website in advance and print out everything I needed about the house. The area of Waynesville was very enjoyable. They have a wonderful, little town with lots of shops and restaurants, many dog friendly places, if you are travelling with a dog.The weather in July was wonderful, great to escape from the Florida heat. Wish I could have stayed longer. We were there for one week.The only negative for us was driving up and down the mountain every day. The roads are winding and steep, very drivable in our car, but not something I enjoyed doing every day. Better if we could have just stayed at the cabin, but our dog needed a walk each day and I didn't want to walk her on those roads, since they are narrow and there are cars. One day a bicycle was coming down on one side of the road, we were driving up the mountain on the other side. The cars behind the bicycle couldn't see us and veered into our lane to pass the bicycle. The first car swerved in front of the bicycle and the second car almost hit us head on. My husband slammed on the brakes and the horn and the car dived back into their lane in the nick of time. That happened on day 1, so we were a little nervous driving on that road after that.
