Online, this property looks incredible. In person, the location is beautiful and exciting. We did enjoy our overall stay and the short trips we took into Blue Ridge. The location is perfect.
For the record, we have stayed in many different types of cabins in and around Blue Ridge. Each one is unique and each has their pluses and minuses. With this cabin, the online pictures and extras didn't match what is actually there.
Two big things (for me) that were disappointing, was the fact that they have gaming systems and games there, but almost every single game was missing from the boxes. Also, the board games they had were missing pieces or batteries to where you couldn't play. Of course, we didnt want the kids gaming the entire time, but when we first arrived, everyone was tired from our drive and the kids wanted to just chill and do their own thing that evening. The younger two (10 &12) were the ones most let down by that. Also,there is not a air hockey machine as others have mentioned. We also had to replace batteries in some of the tv remotes.
Speaking of remotes, the remotes were filthy! To me, that was not acceptable considering we are in a pandemic and cleanliness is of utmost importance. Whoever is cleaning the cabins needs to be given instructions on proper cleaning, with special attention to cleaning all high touch areas. Seeing pure filth built up over time on the remotes by many people's grubby hands was just gross. We found hair in the beds, which had me concerned that the sheets hadn't even been washed.
We did enjoy the hot tub and going down to the creek. It was rather shallow considering all the rain that had came through before our stay, but gorgeous and fun, nonetheless. We enjoyed the workout going up and down the hill to get to the creek.
It should also be noted that if you have anyone in your group who is unable to climb stairs, don't come here. You have no choice but to walk down some stairs from the driveway to get to the front door. This home is not ADA friendly. We used to travel with my MIL and this would have been a nightmare if we rented this place with her with us.
I just expected to have all that was advertised in the listing, and it just wasn't there. Add the hairy sheets and filthy remotes to it and I can't say I'd recommend this place. I wish I could leave a better review, but people should know the truth. Hopefully they accurately update the listing and raise their cleaning standards. Peace.
