High Hopes-3 bedroom, 3.5 Bath, Sleeps 9, Strong Internet

We had a great time. Main drawback is the bedroom on the first level (where the pool table is) was too cold for someone to sleep there

I would consider again and have stayed in many cabins in Maggie. Issues encountered were could not light gas fireplaces but central heat sufficient. Low water pressure but sufficient. Bring your own streaming device which I always do. Ice maker not connected to water so consider trays or bag.

The cabin is beautiful but needs to be cleaned. The first thing we found in the cabin was a dead bat on the couch. We could tell it had not been cleaned, swept or vacuumed in a while. Super dusty and the rooms were really stuffy. Water pressure not great and no cable in the main living room. It was okay for 2 nights but we had to do a lot of cleaning to get rid of dust and bugs.

We've rented dozens of homes in this area over the past 30 years. We usually rent much higher up for a great view. This house has a beautiful view while still being a short drive up a paved mountain road. The covered wrap-around porch was a big plus, as was the large gas grill and the strong wi-fi. But.. beware the almost nonexistent upstairs AC. It was too warm to sleep up there. The TV in great room did not work: directions were to watch it via Roku, but there was no Roku. We were able to stream Netflix. There's an odd mix of updated vs outdated finishes, furnishings and appliances. Refrigerator had trouble keeping all of our things cool and there was no working water line. That meant there was no way to make ice and no filtered in-door water. The steps to the basement are precariously placed next to the kitchen and the handrail doesn't run all the way up. I wouldn't want a small child in this house. Great potential, just needs some repairs and TLC.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've stayed at this house several times and there was a significant difference in the condition compared to our previous stays. Pros: the BEST views of any property we've ever stayed at; large house with 3 separate private sleeping areas and 2 non-private sleeper sofas; plenty of dining space; amazing porches; lots of easy parking; kitchen is well-equipped (bring pot holders.) Cons: the house was not as clean as we expected (hair in the tubs, dead bugs and spiderwebs everywhere); there were not enough linens/blankets for every bed; the air conditioner was not capable of cooling the 2nd floor; the furnishings are really starting to show age (sleeper sofa mattresses are little more than pads.) In the many times we've stayed in any Carolina Vacations property, we've never had one that didn't start off with clean bathrooms. It appeared that only the most cursory of cleanings had been done in quite some time. Carolina Vacations responded very quickly and sent out the cleaning crew the same morning we called; however, there was still hair left in the tubs when they finished. Fortunately, it wasn't as bad as when we arrived. The major issue that we couldn't resolve was the insufficiency of the air conditioner for the 2nd floor. To get the 2nd floor temperature tolerable, the first floor and basement were freezing. That was how we discovered that there weren't enough blankets for every bed. We were fortunate that the temperatures during the day never got very hot. Otherwise, the 2nd floor would not have been usable for sleeping. As it was, we couldn't stay up there during the heat of the day. This house would probably be perfect in the fall or early spring before it begins to get hot. It could use a thorough cleaning and new mattresses for the sleeper sofas but you won't find better views anywhere else. We would conditionally recommend this property for use in cooler weather, if it gets a detailed cleaning and if you don't need to use the sleeper sofas.
