    Home was ok. Getting into and out of property was difficult. The road was narrow and only one way in and out.

    This was the perfect place for my family to spend a long weekend. It was as pictured with no surprises. The cabin was cozy, clean, and comfortable. We enjoyed the backporch for morning coffee and bird watching. The extra loft space and sleeper sofa were also great features. I'd stay here again! We enjoyed white water rafting, the local cinema, and golfing at Chatuge Shores while catching up with my daughter who is a staff member for SWO.

    This location was perfectly located for us to visit many top destinations during a quick trip. The cabin had more than enough room for my family of 4 plus my parents and our two fur babies. We were especially thankful to be able to bring our two small dogs and have adequate outdoor space to walk them.

    The place is full of a bug infestation.(spiders/,stink bugs). The Shower heads need to be replaced . Several electrical outlets have no covers.(Fire Hazard). Molding in kitchen is falling off. Lack of a supply of toilets paper/ Paper towels. Wow! What a disappointment!

    We had a great time and enjoyed our stay! The cabin was really clean & well supplied with toilet paper, cleaning supplies, etc. The contact answered us right away when we had a question and resolved it. We enjoyed sitting on the back deck and sleeping in rhe loft. The bed was very comfortable! Thank you! We will return!

    My family enjoyed our stay at the cabin. We came to NC for a friend’s wedding and felt right at home there. It was nice to sit out on the covered deck and listen to the rain. The place was very clean and well kept up. We brought our fur baby with us and the fenced off area was great to let her off her leash for a bit outside. Thanks for a great experience.
