Booked this property and 3 hours before arrival host said property isn’t available due to heating. Requested a full refund and host would not give one. He didn’t even cancel the reservation but instead took my money and refused to give me a refund even though the property I booked wasn’t available. Instead he offered a different property that had steep washed out road and non working hot tub that hadn’t been serviced in years. Again requested a refund with the host over phone and through text. He hung up on me and has ignored my text for a full refund. Host is a dishonest person and liar and left my family in bad situation on our vacation. DO NOT do business with this host. As a 24 year veteran I never experienced such a disregard for service member or his family. Shameful, and deceit is this host. You have been WARNED!
We loved our stay here. It was two families, with 5 kids total. A great layout/setup for us and just a very comfortable place to be, with the perfect cabin feel! It was an easy drive back and forth to Sugar Mountain every day. And the hot tub on the deck was the best at the end of each adventure!
Trevor and Ambie were quick to respond to questions we had when we arrived. Beautiful home and perfect size for a family for friends getaway.
The positives first- owner was prompt with communication and the cabin is in a good location- easy access to banner elk and blowing rock. You can stay in this area and have multiple hiking opportunities very close. Here’s where it falls short- it’s in terrible need of a deep cleaning and basic maintenance. The carpets are gross- lots of stains. I also think the cabin had been restocked for new guests months before we stayed- we walked thru cobwebs in almost every room when we first arrived. There was a layer of dust on everything. My daughter has asthma and I had to wash comforters before she could even use the beds. The whole cabin is lacking overhead lighting and many of the light fixtures were missing bulbs- it was so dark in the kitchen I had to move a bedside lamp to the countertop. We were hoping to grill but we’re unable to find grilling tools and the grill was very dirty. I also noticed a good amount of poison ivy on a large tree right by the cabin. I could continue to list things like this but just know the whole impression is outdated, dark, and dirty. Mill run is a beautiful little neighborhood but this cabin has been neglected. It will accommodate a lot of people but sadly staying in it didn’t feel like a treat. One more thing worth noting- ALL the sheets are polyester- ugh!! If you decide you can ignore the other stuff do yourself a favor and bring cotton sheets so you don’t sweat to death at night.
Typically when you rent a property you expect everything to be taken care of upon arrival. This could not be further from the case with this property. Upon arrival I noticed how incredibly hot it was in the house so I called to find a solution. The owner was adamant that he had two window units in the house to keep it cool which I told him was not the case, I eventually had to send him a video to believe me. He had no idea what the condition of his property was like. After making him aware he told me an AC unit would be installed the following day, the following day came and went and nothing showed up. The next day we went for a hike and returned to two AC units in the box on the pouch. I texted a picture to Trevor and he told me I needed to install them myself, I SPENT ALOT ON THIS RENTAL AND AM TOLD TO INSTALL SOMETHING TO HIS PROPERTY MYSELF. He also said he would make it right in some capacity with a pool code which never was given and when I asked for one night to be refunded he refused. This property was a joke and I would not recommend to anyone, STAY AWAY FROM THIS PROPERTY.
Our family had a wonderful trip. We were able to go out and enjoy Boone, Blowing Rock, and other areas all within a short distance of the cabin. We also enjoyed our down days relaxing at the cabin!
We live in N. GA. and meet in NC with friends from VA every year. It's a total of 7 (4 adults and 3 kids) and this was a perfect fit for all of us.
Great, cozy cabin in a great location! We slept 7 comfortably and probably could have slept a couple more before being too worried about sleeping arrangements. The place could definitely use some updating and repairs, but it was still very nice. It was just a fairly short (and beautiful) drive to get to Boone, Blowing Rock, or Banner Elk from the cabin. We had a great weekend!
Great place for family and friends ! Decorated nicely, very private and great hot tub !!
Floors were gross. Furniture was gross. Then there was the mice running through the kitchen and master bedroom. We saw 6 mice in 2 days and 3 nights. We left early because of cleanliness. Oh and TVs were silly. Saturday was 1/2 day rain out and I got to watch the masters on 1998 25” crap. You can buy a 40” new tv for $125. The view was good. The privacy was excellent. The layout was good. The hot tub was excellent. Communication with manger was very good.
