The hosts were great! Robbyn was extremely helpful in every way! The home was very dated but clean and cozy. Could use some air purifiers. The balcony was amazing and we spent most of our time there listening to the running water of the creek from the hot tub. We also had a fun time tubing in the creek. Beds slept well but some softer sheets might be a good idea. The driveway honestly gave me anxiety but we made it in and out after some trial and error. The kitchen was equipped with all utensils needed for cooking. They definitely need a new grill! Overall we enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

The first thing we noticed when we arrived was the drive way, ruff and steep. You may need a 4x4. The pictures do not show how old and run down the property is. For a men’s fishing cabin it would be ok but for a family getaway I don’t recommend it.The cost does not reflect the facilities.

The host was responsive.If our group had been an all guys fishing trip it would have been ok.We were three senior couples. Cons: The driveway was 60 degree angle climb/decent. The online description of where certain size beds are vs bathrooms was not what was actual so the description needs to be updated on VRBO. The jute box did not work. The terrace or basement level that was two of the bedrooms and one bath is not accessible from inside the house.Parking was tight and turn around to get back up the driveway was difficult, especially in wet weather. Bring bottled water as the faucets had a pretty strong sulfur taste and oder.Pros: the covered back porch that overlooked the river was wonderful which is where we took our meals. The AC works really good. The dishes, pans, utensils etc were well stocked. The bedding and towels were clean. Even though we didn't get into the hot tub..I was impressed that it was set up to manage itself keeping the water warm. I usually post good reviews. But for the price per night, this cabin was disappointing.

We enjoyed our stay for the most part. The cabin was clean and welcoming on the inside. The cabin’s grounds needed care! Looked like the yard had not been mowed in a month or 2. All the bed mattresses are old and worn out. The master bathroom does not have a shower like listed. The only shower on the upper level is in the hall bathroom. The cabin’s location is close to Hayesville NC and Hiawassee GA. That was very nice and convenient. We enjoyed the creek, but the hot tube was loud and we couldn’t hear the wonderful sounds of the water.The 2 lower level bedrooms are only accessible on the outside, no interior stairs. There is only one HVAC unit so the basement level was freezing. Might be nice for some, but our guest were cold. Communication with the host was pleasant and helpful. Overall the cabin was ok for a little getaway.

Now that our three sons are grown and out of the home, we plan a family weekend every fall where we can all be together. This home was perfect for us. Each couple had their own bedroom, the deck was great for us to hang out and visit, the hot tub was a big hit as well as the game room, and the kitchen was well stocked for meal prep.

Great property. Upstairs was perfect for family time and downstairs for the younger adults who wanted to stay up late playing pool. Would have liked two extra high top chairs for dining table to seat all 6 of us.

Relaxing vacation

We had a great stay. The water access was so nice. The kids and I went on several walks in the stream and had a great time. Fishing from just out back was fun and there was a local fishing spot (Shooting Creek) just about 5 minutes from the house. The hot tub was nice and relaxing at the end of the day. There is no cellphone service but the WiFi signal was perfect. Overall, great stay.

Why Do You Need A Buyer's Agent?
First of All Having a Buyer's Agent Does Not Add to your Cost.
The seller along with the seller's agent pays the buyer's agent fee. Many buyers mistakenly believe they would get a better deal if they do not use a buyer's agent. They assume that since the seller has to pay the agent a commission, they would be willing to pass those savings on to the buyer if they do not use an agent. This is NOT true. In fact, seller's agents charge the same price regardless of whether or not you use an agent.

Here are a few things a buyer's agent does:

Helps you through the negotiating process. This is probably the most important part of having an agent represent you. The agent working for the builder or seller has one job and that is to sell you a home – maximizing the profits for their seller. You have to understand everything you're signing including addendums to the contract, possible delays, what would happen if your current home doesn't sell, etc. The most important thing to remember is that a buyer's agent helps walk you through everything step by step and works FOR YOU, not the seller.
Makes sure you don't overpay for a home. If you buy your home directly from the seller's agent they are only looking out for the seller's interests. A buyer's agent will provide you with valuable comparable properties and five you their opinion of the value.
Much, much more!
A buyer's agent is a valuable asset to any home purchase and should never be considered an unnecessary part of the process.
