A good escape into the mountains.

We used this property for an easy commute to the ski businesses in the area. Good breakfast restaurant at the bottom of the mountain and quick access to gas stations and convenience stores.

This is a great property for a small family or group. It is cozy and comfortable. The pool table and hot tub are a bit older, but they are working well. I booked this cabin because of these amenities, the price, and the location. The convertible ping-pong table and the arcade one-machine were a great bonus. There are a few renovations and updates needed: a new showerhead in the ground-floor master bath, a working light fixture over the grill on the deck, non-worn-out pots and pans, a properly working dishwasher, and an updated coffee maker. The beds were newer hybrid foam. The verdict was split on the comfort; however, they seemed newer, so they worked well. There is room for two vehicles to park adequately at the property. I recommend staying here for a family of 3-6, and I would again for the affordability and location.

Great hostessing spot for large groups

We had 12 people in our group for a long weekend, and this was the perfect spot for hanging out and cooking meals. There were lots of beds and a good kitchen with plenty plates and other supplies. Beautiful decks too! It was unclear what “lake access” meant (we thought we could use the neighborhood club lake access but we were asked to leave because it’s for club members only)

Hot tub was low on water but we ultimately did not use. Stay was excellent and only thing we weren’t aware of was the steep hillside and not much yardage for our dog - might have missed it in the booking but thought there was a backyard of sorts between the house and neighboring pond. Also wasn’t aware of not being able to fish that pond until after the booking but all very minor things - greatly enjoyed our stay and wished we could have stayed longer. Thank you!

Not At That Price

The biggest issue I had was that it was not clean. The garbage can was overflowing with the previous tenant(s) trash and there was a greasy film on every surface of the kitchen. We spent a lot of time recleaning dishes and surfaces just to be able to use the kitchen. Overall, the cabin is logistically in a good location and has the basic necessities for a rental. I just think the price is too high when you don't maintain the property well.

Do not rent this cabin

I wish I could leave a zero star review. My family stayed at the Lakeside at Hawksnest cabin 1 night - and it was just nasty. The entire cabin was filthy, nothing but the black mold growing! Everything was stained , smelled horrible. After one sleepless night we contacted VRBO and the Carolina Cabin Rentals broker was able to moved us to the real nice place. It was very obvious that Lakeside at Hawksnest was being run by a money greedy owner with no care for upkeep. Please don't rent this cabin. I have plenty of pictures just showing the filth

Hi Hanna, We are thrilled that we were able to ultimately ensure that the remainder of your stay was an enjoyable one. However after re-locating you an inspection of the home was completed and no black mold was discovered nor seen. What we discovered was a smell that is fairly common in homes here in the high country and other areas located with medium to high levels of humidity. The overwhelming majority of the time opening doors and windows in conjunction with setting the air conditioner will remove this smell rather quickly, such was what we found here. Again we are very happy that we were able to place you in a home that you enjoyed and met your expectations however we do feel that the picture presented of the home and the owners is unfair. Lakeside at Hawksnest has provided a wonderful backdrop for hundreds of families looking to create cherished family memories.

2/10 Terrible

Worst experience with Rental home

I wish I could give 0 stars. Too many issues to describe with the limited amount of words available. First of all, we couldn't get in the home with the code provided. We called and it took 35 minutes before we could enter. Bought firewood and starters only to conclude the fireplace was not vented properly and smoke was so bad we had to open the doors for a bit. (Lots of black smoke over the fireplace). The hot tub had a very bad smell, perhaps mold. We couldn't use it at all. There is a tree by the front window that needs trimming and even in the daytime, it blocked any sun making the home dark. Outdoor furniture is so soiled we couldn't enjoy the experience of being outdoors and there is absolutely no other place to be outside. There was no banister going downstairs which is a hazard. We had booked a three night stay but left after two days thoroughly disgusted.

Don’t be fooled!!

The pictures show a completely different cabin that what you stay in. Why would I bring two dogs where there is no where for them to run? You have to walk them on a road for potty time. The cabin was DISGUSTING. I called as well as my wife to the rental place with no help. The day we arrived, we opened the door and was hit with an awful smell that wasn’t just cabin musk (the “master” had its own foul smell). Yes, I know it’s pet friendly, this smell wasn’t pet scents. The trash can was covered in grease or oil that I would’ve had to go buy special degreaser to clean. (We did go buy fabreeze and a plug in because the smel was terrible). The dishwasher was FULL of dishes, I suppose it was our job to put those away? The hot tub wasn’t in a good location, nor was it clean. After speaking to two different agents at two separate times with no help, we gave up. Now I will say they offered to come clean it, but we didn’t feel comfortable having a stranger in the cabin while we were there or not there, especially having our dogs there. And judging by the lack of response, who’s to say they would’ve even showed up during our visit. We sent pictures to a random number we were asked to send pictures to with no response. I am not impressed with the cabin as well as the rental agency.

Overall good experience...

Overall, we enjoyed this cozy cabin for a family vacation. The location and condition of the cabin were great. There were small issues that kept our trip from being more enjoyable: there were substantial leaks from the top floor bathroom when using the shower, there were no batteries in most of the TV remotes and/or they were not working, the dishwasher was still full with the previous guests dishes, the ping pong net was broken, and there were no garbage bags for the trash can in the kitchen. Overall a good experience, but attention to some details could have made it better.

Great ski cabin

Super nice property with a good pond view out back. Extremely steep hills to get to, I have AWD but would've needed chains if it snowed more. Don't disregard chain warning. Pull out beds can be more cramped than it looks but it fit perfect for 8. Owner communicates in normal time and allowed us to purchase one more day. Would stay again

Need improvement

Overall the cabin was ok. However the staff needs to pay more attention to cleaning the property, when we open the home it smell like mildew, there is mold on king master bath windows, the hot tub was not hot enough and cloudy water, there is not a lot of lighting in the kitchen we were cooking almost in the dark, the main leaving area the ac gave us issues to start. In the main floor bathroom the rug was clean but it had pet pee stain, there is leak coming from the main floor to the laundry room. This issues did not make our stay 100% satisfied.

We loved the location. The cabin could use a good cleaning and updated pictures on VRBO. I was expecting a good view of the pond but the yard has grown up so the you only have a few glimpses.

Nice but the pictures on the site are old

The place was ok. The location was good because we weren’t too far from family friendly activities. To get to downtown Boone was like a 15-20min ride. The home could use a few upgrades. Under cabinet lighting would help with meal prep. It was so dark I couldn’t see what I was cooking. The shelves where pots were stored had fallen down. The bath tub didn’t drain and the floors of the tub and showers was stained.
