The house is perfect. You can enjoy beautiful sunset views from the oversized living room windows. It has everything you need for a family vacation. The fireplace works perfectly, there are plenty of towels, and the kitchen is fully equipped for a feast or cookout. The rooms are comfortable, and everything looks even better in person than in the pictures.

Super cute cabin escape

Very cute and spacious cabin, plenty of room for the 8 of us, stocked with dishes, towels, sheets, and blankets. The instructions and communication were timely and clear, and the area is absolutely adorable and felt very safe.

Christmas in the Woods

We had a remarkable stay here celebrating Christmas with our children. The place was immaculate and it was great waking up and seeing deer out the window. The home was decorated with a beautiful Christmas tree and decorations. We made wonderful memories here, playing games, enjoying meals, and just being together.

Mountain getaway

We enjoyed our stay, the only suggestion is to put handrails going down to basement area and a light switch at top of the stairs leading to the basement. Very peaceful, lot of deer activity. If you are looking for peace and quiet this is for you. How ever keep in mind if you are looking to have activities you will need to travel to Asheville.

Just Perfect

I’m honestly a little remiss to leave this review because I’d like to keep this hidden gem… well, hidden, but Steve’s home deserves endless praise. From the crisp, clean towels to the spotless grill with extra propane, the attention to detail blew us away. Thank you, Steve, for the perfect setting for our little family reunion.

Lovely House

The house was perfect, very clean and has everything you need, even a pantry with food that we were free to use. The only thing I didn't like was that it was a bit far from where we wanted to go, which are the Brevard waterfalls, but that was my fault Because I didn't realize the distances when I booked, but if you plan to just stay in the cabin to rest, believe me it has everything you need, board games, Netflix, pool table and music and many more things.

Laid back friends weekend

The house was overall very clean. The beds were comfy and they accommodated all 7 adults, 1 preteen and 1 year old very nicely. The kitchen had every amenity you needed for a comfy stay. We really enjoyed the basement as a hang out spot away from the rest of the house. The wifi was spotty at times but otherwise it worked for our needs. There were a couple nature/hiking trails nearby. The pool was very chilly but a good size and conveniently located. I would definitely stay again!

Family getaway

We took 3 of our boys, their wives and children away for a three day weekend at Wolf Laurel. The cabin had everything you would need and more!! the only down fall to the whole experience is the driveway. You need a four wheel drive car or gun the heck out of your car to get up the steep hill. The good thing about that is you did not want to leave your cabin and were able to enjoy the cabin and the trails in the woods.

pleased with the house and layout

we were thrilled with this opportunity while we were there. would love to return if something is done about the driveway. was quite a strain to get out of the steep driveway — for the front wheel drive suvs... precipitation leaves mud — transmissions were quite stressed with the slope. suggested the need to put a cement slab for tires to grip at the top but no response or explanation.

Beautiful vacation home

This is a beautiful house and very well stocked. One of the shocks from our electronic loving kids was almost 0 cell coverage for most carriers and we had Verizon and AT&T. We would need to survive on the DSL line as it shared between TV and games. Boys had a good time downstairs with the pool table. We were only in a short time, and this was the place during the week we chose to relax. Great views out the front in the early morning as I saw Bambi walking on by....

Great mountain getaway

I was extremely pleased with this property. I visited with 7 other family members for a birthday celebration. The house was spacious with a wonderful wraparound deck and lots of windows. The space is well furnished if a bit dated, but that’s just part of its charm. The pool table downstairs was a nice plus. Everything was tidy and organized with plenty of extra linens, towels, etc. My only complaint would be that the internet/Wi-Fi was a bit spotty, but in my opinion if you’re spending a lot of time on the internet while you’re here you’re doing something wrong. Thanks for the great weekend.

Most memorable Christmas family vacation EVER!!!!

The owners Steve and Mary were the most gracious, kind and helpful couple I have ever encountered when renting. The cabin was beautiful and fully stocked. We only needed our own food and clothes, everything else was readily available in the cabin. It snowed the first night we were there, so the kids were able to use the sleds the next morning that Steve and Mary had provided at the cabin/ They even met us at the gate and then took all of our belongings down once we got to the cabin the first night. Since we had 2 wheel drive vehicles, There were deer in the morning and evenings walking on the property. It was an amazing experience for all of us. One we will always remember for a very long time. The cabin also had a game room with a pool table. It was great since our grandson is learning to play. We all had a chance to play with him which was a lot of fun. We want to thank Steve and Mary for an amazing vacation.

The McMillan's were great hosts! The house was well furnished with lots of dishes, soap, shampoo, lots of extra linens. My family particularly enjoyed the basement with a pool table.

Very Nice House

It was a beautiful house on top of a beautiful mountain. Had some trouble getting out of the driveway after a hurricane and snow but the owner was wonderful! He came and helped get the car up the hill. He was so nice about it too!

Wonderful Hosts

The whole process from start to end was wonderful. The owners called and said that they’d leave the lights on for us because we were arriving pretty late at night. I called them the next day to see if we could park somewhere else because we had an issue getting our vehicle up the hill back to the main road and she gave me several options! Will definitely go back soon!!
