Great cabin with more than enough space! If attending a wedding at Chimney Pond Farm this is the perfect place to stay at with it being only 5 minutes away!

What we loved most:the spaciousnessthe kitchen - FULLY stocked - best Ive experienced. the porch with covered and uncovered space.Its a pricey area and this is a good value. It would be so much more attractive without the carpet throughout, and with updated furniture and window treatments, but its super clean and had everything we could have wanted. Communication with host was always quick.

The location of this property is the benefit. Neighbors were very friendly. The condition of the home is poor. Nothing has been replaced or repaired. Deferred maintenance is a serious issue. Items broken include, but not limited to, downstairs bed frame, garbage disposal, door handles on exterior doors, broken timbers on external of home causing trip/fall hazard, multiple light bulbs missing, ice maker in freezer, badly stained carpets throughout, board games/puzzles/deck of cards left for recreation missing pieces and unable to play, living room TV would not connect to internet. We would love to revisit the area, but will choose another rental.

Very accommodating for the 8 of that stayed for 2 nights. There were occasionally bugs inside but hey its in the woods and they. The lake was walking distance and pretty to look at. We had problems with the microwave and they replaced it right away. The only issue was the motion sensor lights outside didn’t stay on but 10 seconds and ot was hard to unload the car or take dogs to use the bathroom at night. And the walk way to the house is easy to be tripped over. Other than that everything was great. Thanks for everything.

Lovely Old Lake Home

We enjoyed our stay. The home was very spacious and the yard well kept. Definitely would recommend for large family gatherings! There was a very small public access beach within a short walk out the back.

Beautiful property within walking distance to the lake. If you are a nostalgic person, you will love the décor. Took me back to when I was a kid. My friends and family had a wonderful stay. Yes, that's good no.

Celebration of Life

Location was perfect for our needs. Lifelong friends have a house just down the road that we have been visiting them at since 1997. We were there for a Celebration of Life. The house is just a little dated and landscaping a bit overgrown.

A relaxing stay at a retro classic Airbnb

I was a bit skeptical when I read the review about the house being dated. However, I was pleasantly surprised and delighted about the condition and cleanliness of the house. Instead of dated, I would say the house is retro classic, like a movie set straight out if That 70's show. We enjoyed our stay there thoroughly and would recommend it to our friends.

Nice house near the lake

The house was nice. The microwave did not work and the hot water heater was not able to provide enough hot water for showers of ten people. Sundog staff brought us a replacement microwave. Sundog also was very responsive to our needs. We enjoyed the house and the lake neighborhood.

Smelly and dated but great location

The property had a foul odor the first 1-2 days we stayed there, and the property manager apologized but did not attempt to resolve it. We put in air fresheners ourselves which helped dramatically. The decor is very very dated, but it served our purpose as it was close to the family we were visiting.

The home was very clean. However, the hot water supply line was turned off and it took us some time to locate the issue. Other than that we loved the big stone fireplace and deck.

Nice summer getaway.

My wife, my daughters stayed here in mid June and had a nice stay. It’s very close to beautiful Lake Glenville and we were able to enjoy some paddle boarding, etc. the location is central to a lot of a great cities/towns including Asheville, Highlands, Bryson City. We made day trips to whitewater rafting, ziplining, waterfalls and mountain hikes. The house is not very updated with older carpeting, TVs and kitchen appliances but everything worked well enough. no air conditioning but luckily the weather was mild and we didn’t really need it. Booking and check-in/check out process was simple. I would stay here again.

Clean convenient Glenville location

This house suited our needs almost perfectly. It’s certainly not modern: but it is clean, affordable, convenient, and comfortable. Located on the east side of Lake Glenville this house has easy access to Highway 107 in the town of Cashiers. It’s also only about one minute away from a Great local restaurant Happ’s Bar and Grill; and about five minutes or less to Signal Ridge Marina. It has a nice, usable deck, half of which is undercover; with a limited view of Lake Glenville. It would probably be advisable for the owners to replace the charcoal grill with a gas grill.

Retro but fine!

Hummingbird Haven was pretty retro-decorated and they could use nicer bedding. They need to upgrade, but it was very clean and acceptable for laying our heads. Don't be bringing a large SUV into the driveway! :-/ Very thin!

Great, comfortable stay!

Overall we had a wonderful stay at Hummingbird Haven. The cabin is comfortable and quaint and the proximity to the lake was great. There were some minor maintenance issues, though. We could not get the chimney flue completely open, so we had to squelch our fire earlier than we wanted to because of smoke. The super-squeaky pocket door to the upstairs bedroom meant that if one person woke up, the other person's sleep was disrupted. The lights in the entryway did not seem to work. Other than that, all was good and we'd happily stay there again.
