Sweetwater Cottage - Private Cottage Tucked in the Woods - Hot Tub - River Access

Beautiful cabin at elevation in cabin community. Details say 4-wheel drive car requires and it is needed…. Front wheel drive may could handle the access road, but it may be a little scary

We had a great time. It was quiet and private. The cabin was equipped with almost everything you need and we had great cell service. We hope to stay again sometime!

Sweetwater is a cute cottage but was not clean. The outside porch appears to have not been cleaned in years and the furniture on it was dirty, and some broken. While we understand that outside areas will not be spotless, it was apparent that under the bench, table, etc. had not been hosed off in some time, and certainly not prior to our check in. The screen door was broken and unusable. We notified property management upon checkin of the broken screen door and nothing was done to fix this. The basket that was a light shade over the sink was adorable, but was filled with cobwebs. The towels were like sandpaper and smelled as well as the old sponges under the sink. We went into the game room and it was filled with cobwebs and smelled musty and moldy. The listing says sleeps 6, and while there were only two of us, there was not a place for 6 people to sleep. The living room furniture was extremely uncomfortable. We appreciated a quick response to lack of toilet paper and that we were given access to some. I did not read the check in instructions thoroughly and it would have never occurred to me to bring toilet paper to an accommodation that was that expensive; I have never had to do so in any other rental. We enjoyed the cool weather and love the area but would not stay at Sweetwater again or recommend it.

The cabin is adorable. Very nicely decorated. Nice master bed, kitchen, and den areas. The second bedroom is not one in which I would think would be comfortable and it requires going into the master bedroom to access the only bathroom. I would not consider this house suitable for more than one couple. But it was great for me and my husband. The property is very nice and has a great outdoor area. There’s no ice maker but it was no problem using the old fashioned ice trays. The chairs and couch in the den don’t match the pictures and the chairs were not comfortable for sitting for a Tv night. We used our fold up canvas chair. This is not meant to be a bad review because the house is adorable and we would consider staying here again. The porch and deck has stairs that offer pets to run free and stay safe. Very nice feature!

The mini unit heater couldn’t heat the home, so my family and I slept fully clothed in our winter wear. Bedding was musty, linens were dirty, the “king size bed” was not an actual mattress, but instead just a platform of some sort with a mattress topper. The stay was so unpleasant we cut our trip short and didn’t stay the second night.

We enjoyed our stay, especially seeing the deer passing by. Cabin was smaller than the pictures appear. Would be great for a couple or parents with young children. Access to bathroom is only through the master bedroom which is awkward during the night. Downstairs is only accessible by going outside and had a musty smell so wouldn't want to sleep down there. Overall, it is a lovely cabin and seeing the wildlife was very special.

Quaint little cottage in a beautiful location. Very quiet, peaceful and private, somewhat afforded to the time of the year. Neighborhood appeared to be a mix of full-time residents and vacation/second home places. Looked like a summer spot. The cottage was nicely kept, and fine for one, two, or a small family. Enjoyed the wildlife (lots of deer) and birds and what neighbors we did see were friendly.

We just returned from four nights in this lovely cabin. The location was very peaceful. It’s at the end of the road so no through traffic. We have stayed in other cabins where the gravel roads can be very treacherous, but this road was very easy to navigate. We saw deer every day and hiked down to the river. We will definitely be back.

Loved our stay! The cottage was spotless, comfortable, secluded and peaceful...exactly what we needed for our short getaway! Only complaint is most of the cushions for the porch furniture were missing.

This property lived up to our expectations and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We spent most of our leisure time hanging out on the deck and enjoying the ambience of the woods. It is in close proximity to downtown West Jefferson and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Would highly recommend to friends and family.

This place is beautifully decorated, very clean and well thought out.
