Nice Cabin and great location

We really enjoyed our stay, and the property manager was quick to respond to any questions. The hot tub was really clean and firewood for the fireplace was nice bonus on cold nights. I would return and stay at this cabin again.

The cabin is very nice and the area is very beautiful and central. Very clean and well equipped. We had a problem with the heating but the management was very responsive to assist which was greatly appreciated. I would recommend that management ensure that heaters are working and on before guests. arrive given the cold. It could have easily avoided any inconvenience. I would highly recommend the cabin.

What we needed!

The draw to the property was the hot tub, layout and fireplace. We appreciated the firewood being part of the unit and not charged as an extra fee. Great location to everything and very quiet at night. Thank you.

Nice Cabin

Cabin was just as described. Very clean and cozy. Plenty of firewood for the inside fireplace and outside firepit. Had a small issue with heat due to the out of the ordinary frigid temperatures NC was having. One call to the management company and someone was out there very quickly to assess and repair. Mountainous road remained clear during the mini blizzard that occurred during our stay. All and all, a wonderful experience.

Exceeded Expectations

Cabin was very cozy and comfortable. Kitchen had everything necessary. Cabin was pet friendly and we brought our two dogs. Not a lot of yard space for the dogs but there is a great trail right behind the cabin to walk them. There is also some good greenspace a short walk away for dogs. There are a few cabins relatively close, so if you bring dogs plan on using a leash unless they are very good with recall. We lucked out and the nearby cabins were vacant. Cabin is in a great location and roads going to it were in great shape.

Absolutely wonderful home and experience, will want to return. Loved the approach to the home, winding road within the community then long shared driveway ( no parking issues with shared driveway). Rolling hill in the front yard and terraced natural area in the rear- great mother nature views. Kids and I enjoyed walking to the pond to fish. Very comfortable home, clean and well appointed. thanks!

Beautiful and relaxing

As mentioned in other reviews there are some small handyman thinhs that could be/should be done, but my party of four had a fantastic time. The home is comfortable and convenient to Grandfather's Mountain. Stores and restaurants are close. I did have an easier time finding the place by looking at the shed from the pictures than trying to find the street number. The only thing I would change would be putting big log seats around the fire pit instead of the cinderblock bench so visitors can easily rearange. All in all a fantastic spot!

We had an amazing stay! This cabin is so cozy! It was the perfect size for our family of 4. The hot tub is great. Temperature was perfect and it was so clean! The cabin is near several activities, so you can easily go out to a restaurant or go on a hike. The cabin had a log fireplace that was so nice. There was plenty of fire wood. The heat works well in the bedrooms. We kept the doors shut and the heat on to keep them warm. The main living space, kitchen, and loft area has one heating unit, but it doesn't really keep it warm. You will need to light a fire! Which was no problem at all for us. Everything is very user friendly. All the switches are labeled and there was clear instructions for the fireplace and checkout. We had a wonderful time!! You will not be disappointed!

Romantic Getaway

My husband and I were looking for a place to escape the heat for a few days. Great place overall, however, the hot tub is NOT private at all - it is right next to the neighbor's house and the privacy doesn't exist unless the house is vacant. We had a problem with the window AC and were told someone would be out that night - it was at least 15 plus hours before someone came out. With the exception of those two problems, great stay!

Great cabin as long as the outside temp is above 25 degrees

We loved the cabin and enjoyed spending Christmas there - very clean, well-stocked kitchen, new appliances, plenty of towels and comforters, and a good amount of firewood, which we needed! However, the main floor bathroom did not have any heat, so it was literally freezing in there - ice in the shower and you see your breath. It was very cold while we were there, and the heat on the main floor couldn't warm the rooms until it got above 25. It was unusually cold, so this is somewhat understandable. The upstairs loft was very warm, though. The thermostats are confusing and don't really seem to control anything. Hot tub was great! If it's going to be cold while you are there, just be sure to bring lots of layers and thermals.
