Such an amazing unique fun cabin to stay at. SSo relaxing and chilled environment. We loved it. Such a shame what hurricane Helene did to the area. Love to stay again when everything grow back.
Beautiful property and location, Very relaxing vacation
We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We especially loved how beautiful the covered deck is, where we had most of our meals and played table-top games, and relaxed in the hammock. The pool was very clean and refreshing. The beds were very comfortable. We all enjoyed the jacuzzi tub, too! A rare treat :)
This cabin is great! Kitchen is better stocked than most, which was nice! Everything was clean and comfortable - especially the master bedroom! Michelle was a perfect host. Would definitely stay here again, the living area was so nice to relax in and the wrap around porch surrounded my nothing but windows was perfect to come back to after a whole day playing in and around the area.
Eclectic quiet place with an amazing wrap around porch! I felt like we had been on a 3 day vaca for 8 days! I really really did not want to leave. Big bonus...extremely dog friendly! Michelle I can't say enough...best host!!! Can't wait to go back!
We enjoyed our 4 day stay at the Cliffhanger. I knew it was going to be great as soon as we began our way down the winding road leading to the house. The home was super clean and had an amazing wrap around deck. We sat outside at night and listened to the sounds of the woods, while my son swam in the pool. We didn't have cellphone service at the home as Michelle notes, but we easily connected to her Wi-Fi so it was no big deal. There was plenty of attractions within 30 minutes of the home to keep us busy all day. Michelle checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed, which was very nice. I would definitely recommend the Cliffhanger and hope to visit again!
My husband, mother, and I stayed along with our dog. The cabin was very clean and welcoming when we got there. The beds were very comfortable and bathrooms clean. I do have to say that the switchbacks coming up to the cabin were an adjustment coming from Florida where everything is pretty flat and straight! Once we got used to them though, it wasn't too bad. We were able to use the pool a few times, We grilled most of the time, and enjoyed the porch daily watching the rain come in and listened to the storms in the background. We got to see the Biltmore for the first time, but were unable to see Chimney Rock as it was too hot for my mom who is 89 years old. We also rented a pontoon boat for a couple of hours on Lake Lure and enjoyed that very much. The beds were so comfortable! We all slept very well and it was a great rest from the grind. We enjoyed our stay very much and highly recommend it!

Disappointed
Michelle was excellent to respond to anything we needed. She gave us very good information on local things to do, and wineries and eateries.
The cabin was clean but it is much more rustic than the pictures reveal. I don't mind rustic but getting to the location was not easy. It is quite a drive in and out, steep, curved, rough. We didn't have a mountain view and we thought we would. That said, the deck was wonderful to sit out on. The furniture was not nice like in the pictures. Maybe someone switched them out because Michelle was surprised.The biggest problem for us was finding a place for our dog to go and do her business.
The pool was nice. I would recommend this cabin if you are ok with the things I stated.

The Good and The Bad
First, the good… the cabin and property appeared to be exactly what we were seeking for a relaxing family vacation, along with the celebration of our daughter’s college graduation. The location was very secluded and the cabin and pool were well furnished and decorated. The large wraparound deck was awesome, providing for some great rest and relaxation. The 1st two days were great. And then…the third night we awoke to a mouse crawling on our blanket. Upon further inspection of the cabin, we saw two mice sitting on top of the stove and numerous large, black ants throughout. Ants were no surprise, given the wooded location, but certainly couldn’t deal with the mice. We found four round mouse traps behind the armoire in the second bedroom, directly below the trap door leading under the main bathroom tub. Each trap was covered in dust and dog hair, leading me to believe that 1) there was obviously a known infestation and where the mice were coming from, and 2) the traps were old and hadn’t been replaced with new ones in quite some time. By now, it was 3:30 in the morning and we decided to cut our losses and drive the nine hour trip back to Ohio. Before we left, I sent Michelle a message via VRBO, letting her know of the situation and our decision to leave. She called us a couple hours later and apologized, agreeing to refund us for the remaining four nights of the week. Lesson learned…ask plenty of questions and inspect upon arrival.
We loved the homey secluded cabin feel but had all the modern amenities we needed and plenty of close fun outing. Didn't get to take advantage of the pool but would love to come back and try it. Dogs had plenty of space in the back yard to explore.
This was the absolute best cabin we’ve ever stated in!!! Both inside & outside was better than we expected. Besides being beautiful it was super clean and in excellent condition. Michelle was excellent host, very responsive and put great care and thought into her home. Absolutely loved it there!
We had a very positive experience from booking til checkout! Michelle was very quick to respond to a couple of questions that I had, which was super helpful! We found the cabin to be clean, comfortable and well stocked! We loved the porch with propane fire pit! It was so peaceful and serene ! Just what we were looking for! The Christmas tree was a huge surprise and really added an extra special touch for the holidays! We thought the cabin decor to be very interesting and eclectic! It was also cozy and comfortable! We certainly plan on returning in the future!
Great secluded location with great outdoor spaces.
Spent a long weekend with family for my grandsons graduation. It was a great spot to spend the time and be with family. Unique and fun pool, lots of outdoor areas.
Felt very private even though there are other cabins in the neighborhood. Was super quiet and we had everything we needed to feel right at home. The pool was fantastic! It was so relaxing and peaceful. Just what we needed for a weekend get away. The beds were super comfy (the 2nd bedroom bed was really tall!), living area was open and the deck was perfect for hanging out. What a gem!!! Thank you so much for sharing your cabin!!
I just want to start off by saying what a spectacular place. I read the bad reviews and some complaned about how the pictures were misleading and I want to correct that. It's a different season. If you want a heated pool you may be wanting a sauna. We don'thave them in southern states.. As to my experience, we drove to the cabin to celebrate our 42th wedding anniversary and even though we planned on taking a few road trips using the cabin as a headquarter lol. We couldn't see ourselves leaving the cabin. If it's relaxation and change of pace this is the place to be.
