Cabin is cute and we had a nice weekend. 3 stars is because we were looking forward to the wood stove in the bedroom and it was not operational even though we stayed here in February. The shower was a little rough. Shower curtains on both sides cling to you the whole time you’re in the shower. Also, Vacasa Rentals is who you have to communicate with regarding your booking, and you will get nothing but AI generated responses from them. Overall, cute cabin and good location.
Great and cozy little cabin, just hope they do a little better cleaning the edges for spider webs and change some underbed linens. Otherwise everything else was just a described. Thank you!

Great cabin
Everything in the cabin was clean, it had everything we need,the place was beautiful, peaceful, will definitely stay again, it was a very enjoyable stay,Thank you
Very cool place! Everything is just as it says in description. Very comfy cozy. Very clean and private. My only suggestion would be to install a tub/shower unit. I know the claw foot tub is nestolgic, but its not really practical. Overall we loved the place. The road leading into property REALLY needs work!

Beautiful place
Cute little house. Enjoyed the days I spent there and would like to return in the future.
Loved this place, it was historic yet had all the modern amenities. It was peaceful and remote, exactly what we were looking for while in the area for a professional conference at WCU.
