I wanted to comment on the one star review from the "teacher". This person sounds ridiculous and sheltered. Where in the Appalachian Mountains do you find many flat spots? There's going to be slopes everywhere. To think this person teaches (children or college students or whom ever) astounds me. They didn't have enough sense to research the area but wants to moan and complain. Furthermore what teacher has only ONE WEEK vacation time? Give me a break! To see a no trespassing sign and that was the "last straw"...get over yourself. You're just miserable and want to take it out on others. It's because of the beauty, people, and culture of this area that I am moving from Maryland down here ASAP! read more

No Stars! We drove 6 hours and left the cabin after one hour on the property. I am a teacher with one vacation so walking away from prepaid 5 day rental was a hard decision. The driveway is 45 degrees up with loose gravel and took our CRV four attempts to reach the top. The pictures on the website do not show the slope. There are no screens on any windows so forget fresh air. The creek was not at the doorstep as advertised but down the treacherous driveway and across the road. Then I noticed active surveillance cameras everywhere recording our movements. As a last attempt to find something we enjoyed, we turned left out of the driveway to see the falls. A sign stating "If you can read this you are in my gun sights" was the last straw. When I contacted the owner, he stated he never advertised screens and said I was confused, malicious and accusatory. He would report me as a 'bad renter'. I thought he would offer half of my money back. I then realized several positive reviews were written in same writing style. Hopefully I will at least get the cleaning fee back since we never touched anything. We then drove 6 hours home. read more

Loved everything about the rental. Beautiful cabin. Very attractive. It was exactly like the photos on the internet. Like not having to keep up with a key. We have stayed many rental places in the area and this is the best. We also met a neighbor who was very kind and offered to assist in hike to the falls. The falls was amazing. read more
