We had a wonderful stay in this amazing cabin. I felt very safe here and enjoyed every minute.
Loved that it was not in the middle of all of the chaos. Nothing terrible about it. Could be cleaner before someone checks in but that goes with the territory. Loved that there was a porch on each level. Door to cover the downstairs was a life saver since we had a baby with us. Truly thankful for a great place to stay and it being so home feeling.
The cleaning crew could be a little more thurough with there process, there were cobwebs throughout the house in various places and bathrooms were not well cleaned or maintained. The dryer did not work and when the host was contacted, their response was 'thanks for letting us know.' Not a big deal, but if someone was relying on it, it would be frustrating. The drive to the house is VERY steap, just be prepared. All in all, the location was nice, views were breathtaking, the staff at the gold course were nice, and our group had a great time!
The cabin was nice and the right amount of space for us. The cleaners could do a better job dusting and cleaning the floors around the furniture.
The cabin was exactly as pictured. Beautiful neighborhood. Loved the back covered decks. Loved the 2 King bedrooms. Felt very private but still close to restaurants/grocery. Would definitely stay again.
The property and cabin are lovely and located in a beautiful neighborhood with tree top views. Beds were comfortable, kitchen well stocked with cooking pans and dishes. Great that each room has its own bathroom. The hot tub was awesome and the club pool was great too. The cons: we were unable to use the large patio because the furniture was dirty with bird poop, dirt and fungus mushrooms, growing on one table. We were going to clean it ourselves, however, the paint finish was really rough and needs to be repainted so we didn’t want to take the chance of making the paint finish worse. We reached out to the property manager, who replied telling us that she left the house cleaners know but we were never contacted. This limited the areas that we could play with our grandson. We were unable to find any nearby park to play with him. The dresser drawers in the master smelled like mildew so we couldn’t put our clothes in them. The extra pillows provided in the closets felt dusty and there were no extra linens to put on them. We were granted two rolls of toilet paper for each bathroom and two bath towel sets for each bathroom. The last thing I want to do when I stay five nights somewhere is to go to the store for toilet paper or wash laundry. With a hot tub and pool available it makes sense to provide additional towels for those amenities. My overall review is that this is a really great place that is being poorly managed/maintained.
You have a very cute and spacious cabin. It was great for the 5 of us as we all had our own space. The hot tub was nice after our long days. There was not a need or a want while we were there. While this trip was for a funeral, we will be back for vacation time soon. When we come back, we will be sure to book this cute place again!
Beautiful place, lots of room! Thanks!
We really enjoyed our stay. It was a last minute booking, but we were pleased to get a cabin in the hills, in the woods. The cabin was very nice and cozy. The floors were not the cleanest and we found mouse dropping in the dresser in the lower level. Several chairs in the dining room were broken. More lighting in the kitchen would be nice. We had a great stay, enjoyed the location, the cabin, the hot tub, back deck and the fall colors were breath taking.
The place was lovely but dealing with the management company was enough to take away from the enjoyment of our time there. There was very little information on the VRBO site and nothing to indicate that we would have multiple emails from the separate management company to deal with. This resulted in sitting on the porch in the dark on the day of check-in and being told that I had to sign a contract before I could get the code to enter. I had no choice on whether or not to agree to the terms in the contract because VRBO already had my money and once I hit reserve, there was no way to cancel for a full refund. For all this rigmarole we had to go through, there were no instructions for how to use anything. Just warnings about how much we would be charged if we messed it up (for example failing to refill the hot tub above the jets would result in a fine, but no instructions were given regarding the fact that the hose faucet was on a different level than the hot tub. It took us probably an hour to figure out how to refill it.) The wifi password was wrong. The fireplace did not work, and there were no instructions to explain anything. In spite of a hefty cleaning fee, there was hair all over the shower/bathtub, and several of the bulbs were burnt out. I don't expect perfection when I rent a vacation home, but if you are going to demand such high standards from your guests, you should hold yourself to that same high standard.
Nice well maintained property! Not to far off the beaten path.
My family of four stayed for 4 days/ 3 nights. Lovely clean cabin, desighed for entertaining and relaxing. Cutter Gap road is almost too steep, 4WD highly recommended! No rolling mountain views but nice view of forest and nature. It was plesent to relax outside and watch the hummingbirds.
The property was perfect for a short vacation with my sister and dad. We each had our own level and our own bathroom. Unfortunately neither my husband or brother in law could make it but there would have been plenty of space for all five of us if they had been able to come. The clubhouse pool was a great amenity.
Spacious and clean.
