Clouds Mountain Cabin

Hi Jessica! I'm glad you had a great time. You came after 2 back-to-back storms that were highly unusual and they dumped so much rain that it damaged the road. While the road was still driveable, it was challenging, as you noted. We have since added many truckloads of gravel and re-graded the road to restore it. It's still not fun (certainly not a paved road), but it completely and easily driveable now in any AWD or 4WD vehicle. Thanks for coming!

Thanks Alicia - I appreciate the feedback. A few notes. First, you are absolutely right about the dish soap in the kitchen. There should be some there and I am sorry that there was not. However, the place WAS thoroughly cleaned before you arrived. The previous guest had a special circumstance and they asked for a later check out - something we are rarely able to approve. But we were able to double up the cleaning personnel and ensure we could get it done in time for you. The placement of the hot tub is simply for privacy. If we put it in a more open space, there would be challenges (and complaints from guests) about it being exposed. We do try to keep the vegetation trimmed back to open up the view, but it does grow rapidly in the summer. Finally, as to the neighbors, we worked really hard to ensure that no other cabin is visible from your cabin. However, we don’t own the whole mountain. There are other homes including vacation rentals on the mountain. Thanks again for your feedback.

The hot tub DOES offer a view, but I can see that the vegetation has begun to obstruct it. I try to find the right balance between privacy and view. If you cut the vegetation too far, the hot tub is no longer completely private. In this case, I think I let the greenery get a little too tall. I apologize. I'll be cutting that back in the next few days to ensure a view from the hot tub. (This is only ever an issue in July and August) The grill DID work! One one burners was broken but the other burner worked perfectly. This guest insisted the grill wouldn't light at all. We went up there when he called and it started right up. I even offered to pay for all his food. We have now installed a new burner on this grill and another, newer grill will be delivered and setup on Sunday. So there will be a primary grill and a backup grill on site from that point forward, along with a backup propane tank. As to the pictures, I have not altered or doctored them in any way. The listing says that the house is 900 sq ft, so I'm not sure what this guest was expecting. The bedrooms are small but completely adequate, with a private balcony from the master bedroom. Both bedrooms have a bed (one king and one queen), a TV with Roku, a dresser, lighting and a ceiling fan. I'm not sure what this guest wanted. My closing comment here is that while some of the issues this guest listed are legitimate, he was among the most challenging and demanding guests I've ever had.
