The ambiance is set by the high tongue and groove ceilings, exposed beams, and large windows. The kitchen area is fully furnished and offers stainless steel appliances. With 5 bedrooms, there is plenty of sleeping space. The master bedroom has a king bed with an ensuite bath and a private deck entrance.

We loved this place. The pictures dont do it justice. It's better in person. It is older but does provide a roof over your head and heat and air and that is all that really matters.

Reality company handling property very responsive. Let them know about bathroom doors not locking and dusty under stuff, and they said they would be on. Property (especially the stream) very nice & the set up of the bedrooms is great.

Everything was perfect. I would suggest the Owner add a more detail description of the properties amenities. We took our own grill cause one wasn’t listed and there was one at the property. As well as list out that there is a coffee maker and a keurig. We didn’t know so we couldn’t buy coffee prior to going to the house and then having to leave again. Mattresses in the rooms need to be replaced. The master was comfortable but the other beds had complaints. Over all it’s a beautiful cabin located in a very good location. It’s close to a lot of activities in the area and a close drive to towns near by.

Charming

House was in a great location for our trip. It fit our needs. There are some cosmetic issues in the house but nothing that would keep me from recommending a stay. We enjoyed the creek that runs across the property.

Great location

We really enjoyed our stay. The stream out front was beautiful and our kids enjoyed playing around it while we were there. The house was comfortable with lots of games and puzzles and the location was awesome. Very central and close to all the things we wanted to do and see. The house could stand a little updating/love with the master shower being tricky and just some chipping paint and wear around the house but all of that was quite minor. We would happily stay again.

Location was great - especially if you ski. We were there in the summer and very nice hilly area. Property is a bit worn and not super clean. The lighting is terrible, cabinet fronts fell off (they repaired them), AC units very loud and ineffective in some rooms, bring your own kitchen utensils as the ones provided are very cheap. Property managers responsive but you can only do so much with a worn out property that hasn’t been well maintained.

Beautiful Weekend

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband wanted to getaway to the mountains for his birthday which happens to be a great time of year - October. We have stayed in several rentals in the Sugar Mtn, Beech Mtn, and Banner Elk area over the last few years and they have all been true to their listings, including this one. With 2 kids and MIL who often has to share a bed with a kid, this home provided enough rooms and more than enough beds for everyone to have their own bed and room. Having 3 bathrooms was awesome as well so that there was no fighting for bathroom time. If I had to say anything negative about our stay it would be that the house had an unusual amount of large flies that seemed to appear as the house warmed up. My guess is that a few flies got trapped in the house and over time their numbers increased and could t get out. It wasn’t a deal breaker for us, but we definitely could have used a fly swatter or two in the house to get rid of them. I might also suggest an upgrade to a larger TV in the living room to more closely match the size scale of the room which was spacious and open. Overall, we would DEFINITELY stay here again!

So convenient for the slopes

We had a great time! The house was tiny but somehow still had plenty of room for all 10 of us! The squirrel that hangs on a swing in the kitchen was the highlight of the weekend.

Great ski trip

We took the kids up to Sugar Mountain for a few days to ski/snowboard right before Christmas and the house was a perfect place for us to stay. So close to the mountain and so convenient. We had a great time. Just wished the kitchen would have been stocked with a few more cooking items (no sheet pans or cookie sheets) but that didn’t stop us from having a great time!

Mixed review

Location and size were great. We were without internet from Fri nite to Sunday AM and had no TV while there. The shower in the master BR did not work. One of the kitchen chairs had a broken leg. There was dog hair in the LR. The deck was very dirty! Broken can opener in the kitchen and no scissors. Can opener was replaced. Poor lighting. Bedrooms were lovely.

Nice location, but......

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was nice by a rambling stream and close to nearby attractions . The home is not well-maintained with broken handles to adjust the windows opening and closing.The beds were uncomfortable and caused back issues. The furniture was old and not entirely pleasant to use. The gates to the deck were broken and we’re not good for those with small children. Emailing the property management about issues was non productive.

Comfortable

This was our 3rd time staying here and we were so glad to see that they had upgraded the TV. Now if they can just do the same with the living room furniture and full size mattress in the first bedroom, it would be great! Saw a few of what looked like rat droppings in the back of some of the cabinets but overall everything else was clean. Excellent location as long as you don't get too much snow!

Rough around the edges

The house was in a great location but it needs some work for sure. There were several doors, including a bathroom that wouldn’t close or lock. We did stay during a cold snap but one bathroom had frozen pipes and was unusable. All in all it was just okay for what we needed for a ski weekend.

Roomy and relaxing

Everything was as pictured and listed. The area is beautiful and the cabin setting was fantastic with the stream running under the cabin. It was well stocked and we had a great 3 days even though it rained every day. The management was great helping us with a couple of minor issues and even brought new gas tanks for the grill before dinner. We will have this cabin on our list for another trip.
