We really enjoyed the view and sound of the creek and the waterfall. We have stayed in Alarka before but our drive was a little easier this time - not quite so far up the mountain.

Unahala Cabin high on the mountain

We really loved the cabin/house. My granddaughter just kept saying I love it, I love it, I love it. It was comfortable. The master bedrooms bed is like sleeping on a cloud. My granddaughters played in the stream everyday when we weren't off exploring.

Little slice of Heaven

We enjoyed our stay so much that we didn’t want to leave! We loved hearing the waterfall each night, very soothing! You could hear it from each of the bedrooms. It was so nice to actually unplug and relax! The kids played in the creek for hours instead of being in their devices! We will definitely be back.

Great property, creek with waterfalls is a plus.

This is the first time I have rented a Vrbo listing and I couldn't be happier. The grandkids enjoyed the waterfalls and exploring the creek. There was ample room and the home had comfortable beds and sofas on which to sleep. The property owner was very informative and communicated in a timely manner via email and phone. It was a wonderful mountain getaway experience. Mike, in southern Georgia.

Mountain getaway

We had an amazing time til the power went out, we lost access to starlink and were unable to notify the power company without driving 20 minutes to the nearest reception area. So when they say there’s no service, there’s no service!! Aside from that, the place was super clean, had an excess of travel toiletries in case you forgot them. The waterfall off the back was soothing to say the least and the fire pit located to the side of the house provided a much need s’more date. My kids (12,13, 15) definitely enjoyed the place, especially during the outage, we all partook in a wicked game of hide and seek. Will definitely book again when get the chance.

Loved this place!

This was perfect for a weekend getaway. It is a bit remote, as you'll need to drive a bit up a windy road, then a gravel road. There is no cell service, as the listing mentions, but we were also not able to get logged onto the wifi, though there is a landline which came in handy a couple of times. This was not a problem for us though. The property is beautiful, and I would have hated to spend my time staring at a screen. I had a great time, and would definitely book here again!

Needs some updating

The property was spacious, but it could use some updates. The bathroom vanities are very low, you have to bend down when you are using the sinks. The shower in the main bedroom should be replaced, it did not appear clean & over the years it looks stained (needs a makeover). Lots of cob webs (kitchen window & around light fixtures) & dirt was in various places. The couch in the great room is not comfortable & should be replaced. The deck had a nice view. No cell service at the rental during our stay. We enjoyed our stay overall.

Better than expected

Such an amazing weekend! The location is great…it was honestly better then we expected and really underrated considering it was only about 30 mins from everything we would need while we were there store wise! It is really secluded so no cell service at all but the fire pit and creek made up for that! We made wonderful memories! The games and movies available were a great addition! We stayed up late each night making s’mores over the fire, came in and played a serious game of UNO, and then everyone cuddled up to watch a family movie together…it was great!!! Highly reccommended!!

Dissapointed

I was looking forward to my stay at this property based on the photos. The location is beautiful though quite remote which has its pros and cons. Unfortunately the house is in need of some TLC/updating. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable but the rest of the house seems a bit awkwardly furnished and could have been cleaner. The creek is spectacular but the deck above it seems like a missed opportunity with only a couple of cheap plastic chairs and a small table/chairs. Similarly, the screened in porch on the front of the house would be a great place to sit and enjoy a rainy evening but an extra refrigerator and some beat up wicker chairs are the only furnishings. Overall, our stay was OK given the price, but with a little bit of updating and TLC to the house and property it could have been 4 or 5 stars.

Quiet, secluded get-a-way.

The reviews are pretty accurate. The pictures of the cabin are accurate as well, although it is bigger than what we thought. Plenty of room for 2 families with a couple of small children. There is a den that we didn’t even use, it has 5 small couches.. You can hear the creek from the house. The steps to the creek are steep, but nothing most people can’t handle. We are in our 50s and had no problem. The road is just outside the creek, but there is very little traffic. The house is about 15 minutes away from town. It’s a long, curvy road. You will pass a lot of creeks and pretty scenery. The gravel road is about a mile to the house. It’s just that, a gravel road, with some bumpy spots. Take it slow and you will be fine. The road is narrow, only 2 times in a 8 days did we have to pull over to let someone pass. The driveway is a bit tight for a one ton truck. All others will fit fine. It’s a pretty quiet neighborhood. It’s meant to be a place to unwind and unplug. No cable or satellite. There is a fire stick for news. No cellular service. All in all, it’s a great spot to enjoy the mountains, hike, and relax. Very reasonable and affordable. Side note: you do have to take your trash to the trash station. It is a quick drive-thru service. It’s not a big deal. If you check out on a Sunday, make sure you throw away your food items on Saturday, because The trash station doesn’t open until 1 p.m. you will have to take your trash with you when check out. All other days 7 a.m.

Throw blankets in the living room with dusty could’ve used to be washed. And the location was more remote than I anticipated but I think that’s probably on me to be more careful when looking at the listings. It was beautiful and we really enjoyed the waterfall. Host was very responsive and quick when we had questions about the televisions.

Just what we needed ‼ The cabin was very comfortable. We weren't sure about bringing condiments, soaps, coffee, so we brought a lot of the things we thought we would need, not to worry, only thing we needed was GOOD TOILET PAPER, lol. Everything else was plentiful. The house was very clean and comfortable. The sound of the waterfall was awesome all through the house. The back porch was where we spent most waking hours, if we were home. Don't know if the tvs worked, we never turned them on. Fire pit was great. The only negative I had was I couldn't get to the creek to sit and watch the kids. The steps were very rickety and no railing. It's a long ways to anywhere and mostly that was good. Thank you so much
