No Heat for 4 Days - Property Manager Made Us Call the HVAC Tech
This house could be great if it was managed properly and didn’t have bad residual energy coming from the master bedroom. When we arrived at the property, it was 55 degrees inside the house. Outside it was 33. We notified the host and did not get a response until the next day. We found 3 space heaters that were not nearly enough. Additionally, when we would turn on more than one at a time, it would blow the circuit for the room and we would have to reset the breaker in the basement. They suggested running the fireplace for backup heat, however, they do not provide any wood and we paid $50 for two barrels that didn’t last more than a few hours. They then asked us to call the HVAC company, something a property manager is usually responsible for. They were closed due to the holiday. During this time, for 4 out of the 6 days during our stay, it never got above 55 degrees inside the house. The HVAC company reluctantly sent someone out to check everything was running properly, to find that the safety switch had been triggered, shutting off the heat. We were also charged $452 for “not reporting a pet”. Something we had done upon making the reservation and also mentioned our dog in messages to the host during our stay. They even have a camera on the garage we were made aware of before arriving which we walked our dog past several times, including when we arrived. We never tried to hide our dog and had booked the property for 2 adults and 1 pet.

Birthday stay in the mountains
Chocolate Cabin was very eclectic. The beds were comfortable, the living space was ample and the hot tub made was the cherry on top. It was very close to Asheville, but out far enough to get that clean mountain air.

A Bit Disappointing
The cabin interior was unique and there were lots of mirrors and lights throughout. We brought our 2 small dogs but there wasn't much room to walk them, the whole front yard was covered with swarming wasps who had a nest in an old tree stump, the driveway led to a two lane road with limited sight since it sits on a hill and road curves in both directions. There was a small wooded area behind the shed which I mainly used (cautiously) as I know we're in bear country. We didn't use the fire pit at all, there were only 3 chairs (not 4) and it was behind the garage and just felt a bit sketchy so we just didn't do it. The hot tub, like in multiple other comments, was unusable, the lid was filthy and smelled like mold and mildew. The water looked clear but the jets would not turn off and the temp would not heat up (because the jets kept turning back on) and it made this horrible high pitch squealing noise the entire time, technician was called but couldn't come out till the following week so I got refunded $113.25 out of the $120 I paid for hot tub management, owner did not explain why it was $6.75 short even after I messaged him/her about it. The microwave is useless, couldn't even warm up my half cup of coffee, even after a minute and it just sounds louder than it should when it runs. Would have been nice to know that there isn't a traditional coffee maker either, just a Keurig (3 de-caff pods) & a French Press. Our bed had a "dip" in the middle and sofa had no padding to sit on.

Funky stay, lovely mountains
The color scheme, funkiness and view/ setting did not disappoint. The cleanliness, inside and out, definitely did. Just a sort of overall grubby throughout the house and porch/ patio: dust on surfaces, throw rugs in need of a good shaking out. (Plus deeply nasty hot-tub, which we received only a partial refund for. Owner did get cleaned, but was unusable half of the stay. Please be aware that the hot tub is an amenity that you are additionally charged for, it is not part of the property in general.) Plus you are expected to put the clean dishes in the dishwasher away upon arrival, lol.
