Secluded River Breeze Chalet, Hot Tub, Deck, BBQ, Woodstove, Dog-Friendly

We arrived after our check-in time and there was a car parked in the driveway and the lights were on. Inside there were 2 people with a full sushi meal spread out in the living room. This is after our check-in time. They said they were the cleaners and started to pack up their stuff. After 10 minutes of idling in the road, they left and we were able to park and begin unloading.After unloading half our stuff into the house we noticed how cold it was inside and that the lips of our youngest child (11 months old) were turning blue. The thermostat read 55 degrees and it was 4:30pm. The heaters downstairs were not working and this was obviously a known issue because there was a small and insufficient space heater in the corner of the living room. We called and could not get help and after determining that the heat was not functioning, the space heater was obviously inadequate, and that it was only going to get colder, we packed up our things and drove all the way home, skipping our week-long vacation. The more infuriating part of this whole experience wasn't the broken down cabin that was falsely advertised-- it has been the complete lack of customer support afterwards: - No call back from the help line when we were at the actual cabin. - No response to several emails over the last 2 weeks. We have rented countless houses. This particular property is complete joke. I would hesitate renting anything from Meredith Properties ever again.

The property was beautiful and the cabin was nice. There were just a few things about the property that were an issue. First, there were cobwebs in one of the bedrooms that went all the way behind the bed frame. I get that a cabin can be rustic, but it seems like no one has dusted in that room. This was also in the room with the more comfortable bed, as the other one was terrible. The room with the terrible bed had a TON (at least 3) creepy baby sketches too, which gave the room a weird vibe. I have no idea why they decided to decorate a room in a cabin like that. My only other complaint was about the lack of outdoor lighting, particularly by the hot tub. It made it hard to want to go out there in the evening. It also would've been nice for there to be more chairs/outdoor furniture to sit on, rather than just the one wood chair that was covered in cobwebs.

Excellent location in a gated cabin community. The inside has some nice upgrades. Could definitely be a bit cleaner but it is a cabin in the woods. Biggest disappointment was the hot tub. It was in a great spot totally secluded. The tub was not secured when we checked in and was dirty and very, very low on water level. It's disappointing when you rent a place with a hot tub and pay the price for a hot tub property and it doesn't deliver. Nice deck though and quiet road.

Door was a little hard to unlock/code wasn’t working well, but overall a great stay!

We were please with the location. it was comfortable. Even though it didnt have ac which we shoulve know prior to checking in. However, at night it was pleasant. The sheets on the bed had dog hair and smelled. The floors had not been vacuumed in a while as evident by the dog hair. The back porch was very nice. But it needs more chairs. The house is in need of extensive maintenance.

We enjoyed our stay in a well known area near the mountain for us. This property in particular was very special. Not only is it remote and in nature but it is a short drive to some of our favorite spots to play and eat in the Government Camp, Rhododendron, Welches, Zig Zag etc areas. The home was professionally clean and prepared for guests and guests with dogs. We appreciated the provided doggie bags, extra leash, and sheet to use for the pup. Made us feel welcome and definitely ensures guests will be respectful when bringing their fur baby. My fav perk was the covered hot tub. It was one of the nicest hot tubs we have used in a rental. It is well taken care of and clean. The surrounding area provides a nice nature walk. The home is located down a gated road so it is very private and safe. We appreciated the stocked kitchen and super comfortable beds! For folks who like games or bring the kids, there were more than enough board games and video games available to use as well. It is also nice to have the option to build a fire in wood stove but definitely plan to bring some dry wood if that is something you'd like to do during your stay. Otherwise this cabin is very well heated with electric heat. Would absolutely love to stay here again!

Location is great and very quiet. Arrival instructions are accurate and easy. However, this property needs some TLC and we found a handful of things not quite functioning as expected. Bring wood for the fire burning stove - necessary if there are cold temperatures.

We loved this place, it's well off the main road, very quiet and private. Clean and well thought out. It was a very much needed break from 'life'.

Great spot for a weekend getaway

Our family had a great stay here. The house was warm, cozy, and well-appointed. We had everything we needed and the place is well-maintained and clean. We would definitely come back!
