    We used this business in 2021 and 2022. I think they may be out of business or under new ownership…read morenow but when we used them the first year we had some problems with the facilities but we figured it was a one off thing. The next year we had problems with so many things including no running water for the entire time we were in one of the cabins, problems with the kitchen appliances and other things. What we realized was they were not maintaining the property and things were not getting maintained or repaired. In addition, they substantially raided their prices. As much as we liked the setting, we decided to find another place for our annual event.

    There are so many things to say about Memory Mountain at Wolf Laurel as a whole, let alone this…read moreparticular listing on the property. We held our wedding here and our guests occupied all five cabins that Steve and Joy Powell have listed. The cabins themselves are gorgeous, every one we visited was grander than the next. They are furnished well, have plenty of supplies for cooking and cleaning (to make your stay mostly worry-free!) and the beds were actually really comfortable! I cannot say enough good things about Steve and how he accommodated every request we had to make the wedding venue absolutely perfect and ensure our guests had a wonderful stay. For the price per cabin, you really cannot find a better deal. Memory Mountain at Wolf Laurel is quiet, serene, and simply breath-taking. Now, with all of this being said, a word to the wise: this is a very do-it-yourself vacation or venue. If you're not willing to set up your space (i.e. bringing your own food to cook; moving indoor and/or outdoor furniture to create the perfect event space) then this place is not for you! If you have a vision, help from others staying on site, and time, then do yourself a huge favor and BOOK. You won't regret it. I only wish we could have spent more time here - three nights simply wasn't enough to enjoy everything (hiking, fishing, swimming, etc) that this amazing place has to offer! Thank you Steve and Joy! Love, Rachel & John Ashworth (06.18.16)

    One of two cabins we stayed at for our ski trip was rented through Mrs. Margarita Elordi, who owns…read morea 4-bed, 3-bath cabin at the base of the mountain where Wolf Ridge Ski Resort is located. The cabin is located just off Puncheon Fork Rd. in the Wolf Creek community. The drive from the cabin to the ski resort is about 10 to 15 minutes. Once you leave Puncheon Fork for the cabin, the roads are not paved. Instead, they are gravel all the way. While the cabin is not located too far from the road, if there is snow or ice on the ground, a four-wheel drive vehicle is highly recommended. Almost necessary, I would say. The cabin was very nice. It was a log cabin that looked fairly new. The cabin slept 12 people and, for the most part, was spacious. The kitchens and bathrooms were impressive from the sinks to the countertops to the appliances. Very modern. Most rooms slept two, although there was one room with three sets of bunk beds (to sleep six, military barracks style). The master bedroom bath had a small Jacuzzi. The master bedroom also had a TV and DVD player and there was another small one downstairs. The main living room/kitchen area was great for our large group. We had difficulty getting the fire in the fireplace to stick. It was a traditional fireplace as opposed to the convenient gas fireplace we had in our other cabin at Scenic Wolf Resort. I liked the open kitchen with island counter and picnic table/bench-style seating for community meals. The stairs to the top led to a game room with pool table and poker table. There wasn't a whole lot of room to operate upstairs in the "game room" (e.g. the short spaces made many pool shots awkward). However, it sufficed. I did like how we could look down into the living room and kitchen from the game room. The place as a whole was decorated quite nicely and definitely got us in mountain vacation mode. Wi-Fi speed was excellent and there was cell phone service (the same cannot be said at the top of the mountain). Cabin price was reasonable. Overall, I thought this cabin was an excellent choice for our large group of skiers.

It was a…read moregood price and the off season, so there not many people in the resort, but we had a blast! it was serene and secluded. Fabulous views and a bit of a stomach turner of a drive to get there....It would be difficult to drive there during a storm, i surmise. Our house, the Eagles Nest had many of the amenities we needed for a vacation home. The house did need a cleaning, It seems that it does not get too much house keeping because there were ant all over the main floor/dining area. BUt we were able to make do and ignore it for the few days we were there. It was a beautiful house otherwise, with very good 3 story accommodations for an extended family to share. We enjoyed our stay in May, great weather and nice people at the resort!

    After several years of successful rentals with another company, we decided to explore other options…read moreto boost our rental numbers. In early 2024 we contacted Eve, "the cabin fairy" to investigate other options. She visited our home, said it was great and convinced us to sign a contract with her firm. She indicated she had many customers in the southeast that she would contact directly to secure rentals. She also offered us a management fee of 20% of rental income. Unfortunately, that was the end of the positive relationship. After only a handful of rentals during the summer months, she suggested we try a 6 or 12 month long term rental. We agreed and after reviewing the contract she offered for such rental, we reached out with a couple of questions. Her response was rude and very negative. She stated that she was too busy to deal with such questions and if we could not accept the contract as is, we would have to stick with short term rentals. While she offered a 20% fee for rental management, each month the costs were more like 30% or 40% after numerous deductions for visits to our home, from "handyman services" and an assortment of other charges. Whenever we questioned what the charges represented, our questions were either not answered or represented as "the cost of doing business." On one occasion, I received a call from our security system indicating that someone had entered the property and failed to shut off the alarm. When I tried and failed to reach Eve, the security people sent the police to our home. When I finally reached Eve, rather than shutting off the alarm system, she demanded that I disengage the alarm remotely. When we experienced some plumbing issues in one off our toilets, rather than sending her own handyman to address the problem, she told me to send my own person to fix it. Finally in August I received an email from her indicating that she would no longer manage our property due to its "many needs," with only two weeks notice. Rather than removing our listing on rental sites such as AirBnb,, she told me that her listings were in my name and that I needed to remove them. Unfortunately, before I figured out how to change the listing, several people rented my property on my new management company and the Cabin Fairy sites, resulting in four double bookings for the same dates. Had she passed on the emails for bookings that she received, I could have avoided a very embarrassing transition experience. Her partner was very helpful in passing on contact information for the bookings the Cabin Fairy received, but I had to spend hours trying to secure bookings for the people we could. In conclusion, we found the "cabin fairy" to be difficult to work with and not very customer friendly or professional in her dealings with us. More importantly, she did not deliver on her promise to increase our rentals. Our new management team has secured more rentals in a month than the "fairy" did in almost a year. So disappointing.

    The cabin itself was absolutely lovely -- we adored the home, and this review is not a reflection…read moreof the property itself. Unfortunately, our experience with the property management company, The Cabin Fairy, was extremely disappointing. On our last night, we lost water completely. I reached out to maintenance well before 8 PM and received no reply. I then wrote to the main number and was told: "We will alert the maintenance team. Don't know how fast they can get out there today, but we will try." With six people in the home, including three children, we had no water to drink, flush toilets, or wash hands. We didn't have to cut our trip short since we were checking out in the morning, but the night was extremely uncomfortable. In a situation like this, I would have expected management to step in -- even bringing bottled water, checking on us directly, or arranging an emergency plumber. Instead, we were brushed off, told "utilities are temperamental in the mountains," and essentially blamed for the timing (a holiday weekend). The following morning, we had to reach out ourselves to ask for updates, and only then did we receive another dismissive response. After requesting a refund for that night, our message was ignored. Guests deserve better treatment than being left stranded without a basic necessity. I hope homeowners take note of this review -- the property is beautiful, but guests should be aware of how poorly The Cabin Fairy handles emergencies.
