    Our stay at The Lion's Den cabin was fantastic! It's situated in a spot that isn't too high on the mountain and makes for easier access. The property has a great view and plenty of space. The hot tub was great after a long day of hiking at Grandfather Mountain. The fire pit was a plus when the weather cooperated, but even when it rained we watched the storm from under the covered porch. The whole process was very easy for checking in and out and we will definitely be back!

    HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. When we arrived water hardly worked. We immediately contacted host who responded right away but lead us to believe the problem was not a big deal and would be solved quickly. He also did not inform us that a water issue would allow us to have VRBO rebook us somewhere else! To make a long, painful experience short, the water never worked. We had to book a hotel room so the 6 of us could take showers before the family wedding we needed to attend. Host offered us 2 nights refund if we left but we trusted him to fix the problem. That was our mistake, we should have left. We didn’t. Host said he would compensate us but his offer was 150 back of our 1,000 payment for 3 days of an incredibly uncomfortable, unacceptable experience.

    The cabin was very clean, comfy and cozy. The cabin has everything you need in the kitchen and has plenty of room. The host was great to work with and I would recommend this cabin to anyone.

    Everything was wonderful, including the weather! The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and the hot tub was great! It was located close enough to town for shopping but very quiet on top of the hill. Thank you!!!!
