This cabin was absolutely amazing. Great location and comfort. The only issues had with it is the parking situation. There are 3 cabin next to one another so if the cabin next to you is occupied and they use the wrong parking spaces it screws everything up.

Ciffee pot was moldy from grounds left by a previous occupant, and there were some trash bags and cans behind the cabin that hadnt been cleaned up, but otherwise, the place was really nice. Close to town and the Dragon, Cherohala, and Moonshiner.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the cabin’s location and proximity to local attractions. We’re sorry to hear about the oversight with the coffee pot and trash area — this is not up to our usual standards. Our team has addressed this with housekeeping to ensure it doesn’t happen again. We appreciate your comments and hope to welcome you back for an even better stay next time.
This cabin was nicely decorated and had everything we needed. I didn’t realize from the photos that there was another cabin right next to ours. Only thing a bit lacking was the quality of the cookware and silverware but we certainly managed.

I loved the fact that I felt like we were the only ones in the area even though The land has other homes nearby and horses and dogs. A roadway to walk on with views on both sides just very peaceful
This was a really nice cabin that was easy to access and not too far from town - about 7 miles. It was spacious enough and was pretty well appointed with the essentials for cooking, etc. I’d recommend it if you’re in the area. It’s near the Tail of the Dragon area and would be convenient for that.

Liked: Communication
We thought the advertisement indicated there was a stream on the property but there was not.
The bath tub was broken and a little unstable to stand in. The toilet could have been cleaned better. Otherwise, it was fine.
Positives:
Peaceful and pretty location. Nice front porch. Fire pit (bring firewood).
Negatives:
No paper towels. No dish towel. No bath mat. No hooks in bathroom. No bath soap or shampoo.
Communication with both the host and VRBO during our stay was not timely.

Thank you for your feedback, Harold! We're glad you enjoyed the peaceful and pretty location, as well as the nice front porch and fire pit. We appreciate your notes on areas for improvement, including the absence of certain amenities and the communication issues. We'll definitely request the owner to take these into account to enhance future experiences. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back and provide an even better stay next time! Lily
This was our first time to go ride the Trail of the Dragon and this cabin was located close but still peacefully nestled off the main roads. This made for cooler temps and watching the clouds roll over the mountain brought refreshing rain. We enjoyed sitting out in the porch watching the fireflies and listening to nature.
Very cute and comfy on the inside with all the amenities. Mini split ac heads downstairs and upstairs is always good for keeping the inside temps comfortable. The only thing that was not available was WiFi because the lawn man cut the wire and it had not been repaired. With the location, our Verizon phones did not work that good. The owner was very friendly and apologetic for the inconvenience.
Next time we visit, we will definitely try to stay here again!
