Sweet Refrain in Pisgah Forest with VIEW

Home, location, and view were great. What was cleanable was clean. The furnishings were not configurable in a way for guest comfort, watch TV, or hanging out in the same room. Some furnishings were broken or stained. House had some deferred maintenance.

I enjoyed my week stay at Sweet Refrain in this lovely location. You cannot see another cabin from the yard or the windows and the view is gorgeous . The photos are fairly accurate and there are a few things I didn’t realize from the photos or description. First, the main bedroom is a loft and doesn’t have a door or privacy from the main floor (except for curtains that can be drawn over the loft area. Also, the basement bathroom has a hose from dehumidifier running into the shower, which makes it awkward to use as you cannot fully close the door. The first full day there, we lost power and the emergency team was very helpful. After an hour or so, we did run out of water, so if you lose power, I advise you to fill the tub and some pots with water.

This was our favorite VRBO ever. It was a perfect spot for our two week vacation. The view was amazing and the porch was our favorite spot. The drive up is a typical mountain road but it is paved. Bathrooms and kitchen are recently updated. We loved the outdoor spaces. The only issue was the master bedroom is in the loft and there is NO door. They provide a curtain over the balcony but that’s it.

The home was as advertised - clean, comfortable, lots of space, nice outdoor deck area. Easy to cook inside and outside. Nice neighborhood and easy access to downtown - everything was great.

The location was good, but the facility was not. The bedding and towels had an old, unpleasant smell, and the extra comforter seemed to have been used and stuffed in, which was displeasing. The indoor cleanliness was also poor, with dust accumulated in various places. This was not the condition I expected for the price.

Visited as two couples and a friend for my birthday and it was a great spot to be tucked up in the mountains but with easy access to all the biking we wanted. The communication was great and host was very responsive!

House was perfect. It was the cleanest place we have stayed in our favorite mountain town and we have stayed in the area the last three years. The house is exact as it is advertised. We loved the house and iis location ( can not see a neighbor and its very relaxing and only 10 to 15 minutes to Brevard, We hope to rent the same house next year. .

Incredible views from main room; comfortable cabin for family of 5 (three teens). Wonderful location - close enough to town to go back and forth easily, but feels like you’re worlds away in the mountains once at the cabin!

My family and I had a wonderful time while staying at the Pisgah Forest cottage. The cottage was clean and well equipped. The view from the main level of the cottage is mesmerizing. The property manager stayed in touch throughout our stay by text message. The only thing we didnt like was there are some windows in the master bedroom that do not have curtains. This would be a nice touch in the event you want to sleep in or just appreciate the privacy they provide even though the property is surrounded by trees. Overall it was a great place to stay and we would definately stay there again.

Great quiet location with awesome view.

Great location to explore the state forest and national forests areas, quiet neighborhood and perfect place for a family of 6 Ability to text the property managers was very easy

Overall, we really enjoyed the property and felt it was just as advertised. The comments I list about are very small things to help future guests.
