    This cabin was comfortable and had everything we needed for a pleasant stay for a few days. The weather was chilly, so spent time sitting inside doing puzzles and playing board games while enjoying the beautiful view of the mountains.

    Our family of four spent thanksgiving week here and the house (kitchen especially) met our needs completely. I cooked our traditional holiday meal here and the kitchen had all of the “stuff” necessary! The views are amazing - ideal for a restful, peaceful getaway. We’d love to come back when all the foliage is in bloom.

    Perfect cabin, exactly what we expected! Awesome view and the rental company was fantastic. The only complaint was the water pressure in the kitchen sink made it extremely difficult to wash dishes. But overall this was amazing and I would definitely come again.

    I still dream about the cabin. For sure we’re going back there. The quiet, peace and calm was everything that we needed, Our dog just loved running up and down the stairs and chasing the squirrels off the deck. The cabin was five stars and the management company five stars + and I’m not an easy one to please.

    Of all the cabins we looked at in the Asheville area, this was one of the pricier options. For the money, we were expecting more, including some basics regardless of cost. We did not use the basement level at all so it’s not included in the review. Pros: Great cabin, very spacious, open, amazing view. Cons: Cheap towels Cheap sheets Cheap paper towels Beds were ridiculously uncomfortable and noisy. The mattresses for both bedrooms and pillows upstairs were a joke. The main level bathroom had one bar of soap, no hand soap bottle. Luckily we had our daughter’s body wash. The kitchen and upstairs had different hand soaps on the cheaper end. Incredibly minor gripe but combined with everything else and how much we paid, just detracted from the experience. Super cheap paper towels. One dishwasher pod provided. What if we had more people (it was just three of us) or cooked more? We couldn’t run the dishwasher upon check-out. No sponge, just Brillo pads. The kitchen is not “well-equipped” per listing given all of the above. The main living room couch looked nice but was ultimately uncomfortable. Not very supportive and I was leaning one way or another. The TV remote was awful. They had DirectTV but no ESPN (who does that?). Luckily I had youtubetv and was able to cast to the TV but it was super slow. There was a sound bar but it would turn off if you paused for too long. Just a weird setup. Out of the three sinks we used, for two of them, hot water was in one direction, and for the third, hot was in the opposite direction. Super confusing/frustrating weekend trying to wash your hands and such. The kitchen sink at least had labels, but they were super tacky, just from a label maker and haphazardly placed. Some of the outdoor furniture have seen much, much better days. I was hesitant to sit on them and wondered if they were safe to use, with potential paint chips/rust. I think they were fine ultimately but not pleasant to look at. The view is great, however, you cannot see sunrise or sunset. The main patio faces northwest but you are blocked by trees on either side. The way everything is angled, you also don’t get a ton of sun on the back patio. Maybe half of it half the day. Just friendly FYI. Overall, we were expecting a lot more for the money and will not be coming back here. Again, great overall look and feel, spacious, great view, just not worth the money for us.
