Mountain Getaway

Our mountain getaway was perfect for our group of 7. We loved exploring the surrounding area and relaxing around the fire and hot tub in the evenings. The only downfall was the drive up the mountain was a bit scary for a bunch of Floridians. We would definitely stay again!

Perfect covid19 getaway

We had a wonderful week at Pinnacle. It is isolated enough to avoid the public, but still closed enough to town to pick up all your essentials. The WiFi is strong enough to work remote during the days then go hiking in the evening.

Weekend Stay

Clean property with everything you need. Large front porch with great views. Limited parking and a steep driveway, but nothing that can't be navigated. Comfortable beds. I wish we had spent more time at the cabin but we had a full agenda for our weekend in Cullowhee.

Great Escape in the Mountains

We thoroughly enjoyed our time! The inside of the property, towels, linens, etc, was incredibly clean. The kitchen was the best stocked kitchen I think I have ever seen in a rental. The hot tub was great! We did not get a chance to use the fire pit, partly because of our schedule, partly because of rain(so there are some extras logs there for whoever rents next). Overall we had a great experience.

Great mountian escape

This was a great long weekend to enjoy the fall in the mountains. It’s a steep driveway to the house, but that just gives you a better view! My wife, two young daughters (8 & 5) enjoyed the house and the small mountain towns around us. Great location to get to Silva, Bryson City, Waynesville, Cashiers, Highlands, Franklin, and more (all less than 1hr drive).

Sundog Rentals Made the Difference

We escaped to the mountains (and the cabin is at the top of a mountain) for a long weekend to support our grad student in her hunt for a home near WCU. The cabin was a perfect location for our home base. We did encounter a situation which put a damper on our weekend stay, however, I give Sundog Rentals a superior rating for addressing the situation quickly and offering us options. Overall, the weekend was restful and our stay enjoyable.

Fall Vacation

We had a wonderful time. Three (and a half) generations together. We attended the Apple Festival in Waynesville but it was much too crowded. Played games and grilled steaks. Only complaint was I needed a TV in my bedroom upstairs.

So relaxing!

We’re from Raleigh & the temperature difference between Raleigh and the Our Pinnacle cabin was at least 10°, frequently 15° and way less humidity. It was just so much more comfortable. That doesn’t even include all the creeks, rivers and swimming holes scattered around the area as well as the mountain tops. Just a wonderful summer getaway.

Great cabin but isolated

If you want a quiet place in the woods this place is great. If you want to explore North Carolina it’s about 45 minutes to get to anything. Cabin was well kept and nice. We ended up having to buy a lot of basics like garbage bags and toiletries because we stayed several days and the property manager only provided enough for 2-3 days. Overall a great stay and a great cabin! Thank you!

Cabin in the sky

Had a great experience at Our Pinnacle. The cabin was clean, had a comfortable layout, comfortable bedding, sheets and towels and the process with property management was seamless. Getting to the cabin was "easy" but it is on a very steep mountain road. The road is paved so that certainly helps. It is worth the climb though once you sit on the deck and see the mountains you are surrounded by.
