Crooked Cabin complete with outdoor hot tub

Nice cabin in a beautiful setting. House was clean. The driveway is very steep and no wifi.

We had a wonderful experience at Crooked Cabin, what a blessing! Our children have asked that we make it a family tradition, and we have to agree! Our favorite part was how it's a little adventure to get there and the driveway up was icing on the cake!! Once we got inside our children had their own space in the loft, complete with games and their own bathroom! Our master bedroom was just as exciting with doors that opened and let the outside share our space! The hot tub was nice and hammock spot on the deck was perfect! There is a grill for great meals and plenty of family space to eat and lounge around after hiking! We made day trips to hike and walked around in the cute downtown Saluda every evening!

We really enjoyed the privacy and charm of this cabin. The kitchen was adequately stocked with pot & pans as well as dishes. The spiral staircase was beautiful! The hot tub was also a must have.

There were a couple things that I would have changed. Both bed were not at all comfortable. Also the "direct tv" system had only outdated explanation on how to work it. Although the driveway can not be changed, the 45 degree grade was challenging even for our 4 wheel drive SUV.

Since the only choices were "loved it" or "not really" I would have given an inbetween. Not sure if we would stay there again unless they bought newer mattresses.

Crooked Cabin was perfect for our weekend family getaway. Very private setting, yet really close to the shops and restaurants in Saluda. Pet friendly, too, which is great! Hot tub was the perfect place to enjoy the cool evening.

First off, I would like to say that me and my two friends had a great weekend because of each other's company and the fact that the hot tub was amazing!

I hate to give a negative review because we met the owner, and she truly was a lovely woman. She had to come out the first evening because the TV/DVD set up was completely messed up. After hot-tubbing we were ready to settle down and watch a few chick flicks, but the previous renter had switched things around and batteries were needed in one of the controllers. It really was annoying and the management company should be better about checking these things.

Additionally, there were ZERO instructions anywhere regarding the use of the TV. There wasn't any kind of binder with restaurant info, checkout info, etc...I've never been to a rental where there wasn't any information to be found.

Also, bring your own pillows. I usually do, but I forgot mine and the pillows on my bed were covered in crinkly hard plastic. They could also use a washer and dryer. Between the hot tub and shower, clean and dry towels are a must. The living room couch isn't very deep and it's very uncomfortable. The TV is tiny---they should really consider a larger TV and mount it on the wall.

Lastly, the drive up the hill is insane. It is more than 45 degrees. Luckily I'm not afraid to plow full speed ahead...otherwise we wouldn't have made it up.

Again, I feel bad about the negative review because Ginny is a nice lady. I should have done more research in finding a cabin. :(
