The Mariah- Beautiful Mountain Retreat

The cabin was beautiful and Mary was incredibly hospitable. We highly recommend this place.

Mary was so welcoming and accommodating! Lovely well kept home in the trees. So peaceful and quiet!

Mary is the best host! So sweet and attentive! Cute cabin worked great with our family.

We had such a wonderful stay at this cozy little cabin in Mars Hill! The cabin was beautifully decorated, and felt so inviting from the moment we walked in. Mrs. Mary was so kind and accommodating, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The town itself looked like something out of a magazine, with charming little shops and restaurants. The mountain scenery was breathtaking. We would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway. We can't wait to come back!

My wife and I arrived on Friday January 17th around 5pm to find the property to be very unclean. I took photos of the dead insects laying on the floor and inside the bathtub, several long hair stands in bathtub and sinks, the floors not being swept or mopped, debris laying on the floor/counter top and the cook top now being cleaned. The host answer the phone and wanted to send the cleaning lady back out. She said that the cleaning lady would be there in 20 minutes nearly 1 hour later the cleaning lady shows up. She walked around the property arguing what my wife and I as we where showing her. She got mad said “ our minds were made up” walked out and slammed the door. The host hasn’t responded to me since. I’ve tried to call, text and message on Vrbo requesting a full refund because we did not stay at the rental. Please help getting this matter resolved.

The cabin is lovely and in a nice location. It's not in the Wolf Laurel gated community, just FYI. Be aware of some things- this is an actual log cabin. As such, there is NO privacy/insulation. If you're in the upstairs bedroom you can clearly hear someone talking in the downstairs bedroom like they are right beside you, and vice versa. Listing states it sleeps 8 adults- 2 in each bedroom, 2 in the loft, but the couch is not a pull out, so you may could get 7, but I would not recommend it. You hear everything that goes on in the cabin, including bathroom noises! Be aware, the listing states there is a hot tub- there's a jetted bathtub in the downstairs bedroom, but there is no hot tub. Upstairs bedroom is odd, with hanging doors to a storage space behind the bed, and the metal bed frame bangs on the doors every time you roll over. Gas fireplace is lovely, and large porch with beautiful view! The place is adequate, but not well-maintained or stocked. There were long dead plants on the back porch, threadbare chairs downstairs, only 2 washcloths and only 5 very small bath towels, stains on the comforter, no throw blankets. Just a budget basic feel- which is fine if you know what you're getting and aren't expecting a hot tub, fluffy towels, and luxury touches. Communication was a little off. I'm used to getting a message a few days before hand with check in instructions, address, code, etc. I sent 1 message a few days before and got no response. When check in day arrived aversa.

What an amazing little cabin in the mountains. Although the weather wasn't great, we had a great time and so much relaxation. This place was exactly what we needed.

My son and I shared a great few days of bonding! We enjoyed our stay overall. Small things that could have made it better would be screens that were free of holes. We could not open even 1 window to let cooler air in because every screen had holes or was not in working order.

This was our first time using Vrbo, and it was a wonderful experience. Mary, the host, was so helpful, and great about communication. She reached out prior to our trip, with some helpful tips. And then was available for any issues we had while we were there (the only issue with us being from Florida, and not being completely familiar with a furnace lol). The cabin was very cool, and could easily fit several more people. The fireplace was our favorite part. The cabin is located a little bit up the mountain, so Mary kindly advised that we needed a 4 wheel drive vehicle, which was very helpful. If you are not from the area, my only suggestion would be you might want to pack extra blanket… we were visiting from Florida, and found ourselves running to the store for a down comforter, just because we are not used to those temperatures! We are definitely looking forward to visiting the cabin again sometime in the future. Great experience. Would highly recommend this location and host. Thanks Mary!!!

A cabin in the woods. With great views. We loved star gazing at night sitting by the fire pit. It was a quick trip into Asheville, check out French Broad and Salsas. And the town of Mars Hill had a bakery, coffee shop and a Brewery that looked cute.
