Waynesville Smart Cabin w/ Hot Tub & Views!

The home itself was very nice with a split bedroom floor plan which is always nice. The kitchen was fairly well equipped but could use a mixer, pizza cutter, and a few spatulas, but has lots of pots and pans and baking pans. When we arrived someone had obviously stepped on the air vent cover in the LR as it was broke on both sides and this poses a real danger for small children as the vent itself is large enough to fall into should a child fall through that flimsy cover!! Also the chairs on the bottom hot tub deck need to be replaced as they are brittle and breaking. Two were set aside when we arrived and one cracked along the side when we sat on it so it joined the other two broken ones. The beds were fairly comfortable except for the trundle which could use a mattress topper as it feels as though you’re sleeping on springs, it would be fine for a child but if an adult is sleeping on it you feel the springs in the mattress. Other than that it is a very accommodating, clean home. Take note the drive going down to the house is quite steep to the point that when you first drive in you cannot see the drive as it drops down which can seem a bit scary but it isn’t hard to get in and out of just drive slow and be careful when coming out as you can’t see cars coming from above. Last thing to be aware of is that the home is just above the very busy road of Jonathon Creek so you do hear road noise but it quiets down in the evenings!!Hot tub was very nice and we enjoyed it.

Everything was amazing except the driveway. Wow that’s a dangerous situation especially on a Harley or any vehicle that’s not lifted with 4x4. The steep slope and gravel make for large mounds of loose gravel with deep holes that can bottom out a sedan easily. I’m a highly skilled motorcycle rider so I traversed this with extreme care and didn’t damage it. The neighbors were great and let me borrow a rake to smooth out the high spots manually (not what I should be doing on vacation). That being said a simple investment in asphalt and proper drainage would alleviate this issue immediately and make this property a 6 out of 5 star property. Everything else was fantastic and the driveway was the only thing I could complain about. Clean, beautiful and top of the line finishes and technology available. Would stay again if driveway is fixed.

Beautiful house.

Enjoyed our stay! Nice home. Friendly neighbors.

The back porch, mountain view, open concept and helpful full-time neighbors were the best qualities of this property. As mentioned in previous reviews, the driveway is very steep and does not have a gravel bonding agent, just gravel, that constantly needs to be raked and restored. The host was not happy when we tried to bring our trailer up the driveway and our tires spun, digging up some of the gravel from the driveway. I left the host a note with suggestions for the enjoyment of future guests: Fix garbage disposal, provide more than one blanket for the 3 bedrooms, provide more than one wine glass, make sure the clocks are working and batteries are replaced (none of the 3 clocks were working). Replace empty spices and provide more than one roll of paper towels and put up the other closet panel on the washer and dryer. I stay in short-term rentals all of the time and my family also owns one. I just want the owner and host to be the best they can be so that their beautiful rental will continue to be lucrative. I know the host and owner will take care of the things that I mentioned because they have done so when other guests left reviews and suggestions. The best part of our trip was having an amazing visit with family and meeting Missy, Jack, and Ozzie next door.

Great weekend skiing with a friend and our five year olds. House was perfect and had everything we needed

The house was very clean and cozy. The kitchen had all necessary appliances and more. The hot tub was clean and hot even in the snow! The only problem we had was not being able to get back up the driveway due to the gravel being wet and ice forming when it snowed, but we ended up just parking our cars at the top of the driveway and had no issues. Overall, a great stay.I would not take a car that doesn’t have 4 wheel drive.

The cabin was great clean and had everything one would need but was a little short on toilet paper.. but the big problem was the driveway unless you are in a truck it’s really hard to go up and down on Harleys or a car had a lot of ruts in it but other than that I would stay there again but being a bike rider I don’t think we will just because of drive way

House was clean, spacious, and very accommodating!

The house was great smaller than I thought but plenty of room. The driveway would be a little tough in a car I would think but we had jeeps so we were good. We will definitely rent from them again.
