We were only there for a weekend, so we didn't use the kitchen, dvd player, etc. But, we did use the hot tub! Nights and mornings were in the 50's and breezy (aka cold wind!) and the hot tub was great for both morning and night. The creek running past is calming and drowns out any sounds from town. The convenience of the location with the privacy, make this cabin perfect. As others have commented on their website, the cleanliness was amazing! The hot tub was already hot when we showed up and there was a treat in the fridge, yummy! The drive to Cherokee is easy, and passes by Bearmeats Indian Den, one of the few shops with real hand crafted goods. Be sure to stop by there. The furniture was comfortable. Furniture and décor is typical styling for a rental cabin, but in much better shape than many I have seen. The pictures are true to what is there. I slept so soundly in the bed, I didn't even wake during the rainstorm. The kitchen, although we didn't use it, was well stocked with pots, pans, etc. needed for cooking. Plenty of silverware, plates, cups, and mugs for 2-4 people. Washer and drier were great to have available. We used the dryer and it worked fine. We did not use the grill, but there is one available. There is one flaw, and that is the shower. It is small. My husband is 6' and ~170lbs and it was tight. The shower served its purpose, but if you are larger, consider one of their other cabins. This shower would not deter us from coming again, we absolutely would! I just want to include that so others can pick which cabin is perfect for them. Madeline clearly takes pride in her cabins and will gladly help you pick out the right one. When I called, I had it narrowed down to 2 and she told me more about each. She wanted to make sure we loved it as much as she does.

The employees in the office of Carolina Vacations are very kind and polite. Although the fact that i have to drive out of my way to their office to get keys is antiquated. I generally am able to settle contractual and payment matters online before i arrive, and use an electronic lock or lockbox, since almost all properties have wifi these days. Round trip, an hour of my life that I wont get back. I showed up at check in time , and the receipt and keys were not ready. Gladly waited in their lobby because it allowed me the opportunity to charge my cell phone and do a little work online. The receipt still did not agree with my online receipt from the owner that i received online, but i was assured that my card would just be charged for the amount online shown on Home Away. Got to the property after a serene drive through the hills and mountains. Nice looking house. Unlocked the door and would throughout. Unfortunately the downstairs had not been cleaned at all as each room downstairs either had dirty towels, unmade beds or trash. Upstairs looked like it had been picked up, but not cleaned. Dissapointing to pay full price, a cleaning fee, and a hot tub cleaning fee for a dirty house. Carolina Vacations needs to step up their property management game.

It was a perfect place for our family to vacation and we really enjoyed exploring all of the sights along the Blue Ridge Parkway. We even got Elk Slobbered by a very loving, yet large mammal. We fell in love with the area and specifically with this exceptionally cute and private cabin. So much so that we found out it was for sale and bought it two weeks ago. It has been a great experience adding our personal touch to make it the cabin of our dreams. My wife and daughter and I hope you will love it as much as we have. It is truly a remarkable location and convenient to so many of the wonderful things that this section of the country offers for relaxation and recreation.

Two king bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, porches, living area with pull out couch, and fireplace. Modern decor and comfy touches throughout like the heated floors in the bathroom. We also had an amazing view of the mountains. We had the pleasure of trying all the menus at Switchback Restaurant - breakfast, brunch, and dinner. Food was local and tasty. Vibe was lodge chic. Took advantage of the hiking trails as well. Did the Salamander Falls and Meadow trails. Great scenery and went right past the pasture with horses, which were so sweet. Most importantly, the staff were all incredible. Everyone was pleasant and accommodating. They made it so easy to communicate requests both before and during our stay. Thanks for a great time!

The place is dog friendly as long as you have a crate and keep in leash ( which is fine we do that anyway) Upon coming into cottage it was cute, clean and small. Came equip with all you need in the kitchen for cooking. You do have to bring your own soaps and have things washed and put away when you leave. The dishes we pulled out to use still had food on them, same with the silverware ( I actually washed the stuff we used before we left) We had a cabin on the water which was beautiful (except for the cabins are super close and the kids next store were throwing rocks next to me ( not by their place - then they were casting with rocks-they almost got me :).

Mine had a deck to view mountain and stream. What I didn't like is NO tv service (cable or satellite) for the 32" TV on wall by door. If you do come here, bring a streaming tv device. They do provide internet, but we did not use it. Also, the pet restrictions is too restrictive. Pets are not allowed by themselves if not caged & not allowed on furniture. In booklet, if you leave your dog alone unattended and not caged, a person from management will come knock on your door. If you don't answer and barking persists, you will be charged extra fees. You must empty your own trash in dumpster at entry near unused car wash. Also, restaurants in area are either closed or vastly understaffed. We waited 20 minutes at bar & NOBODY checked on us, so we left and drove to Waynesville, NC which is 10 miles away. We didn't want buffet style food or family style food. I really rather stayed in Cherokee, NC which to my surprise had more things happening, Cherokee museum, bone fire at the river park, plenty of shopping, some restaurants, but not many hotels pet friendly. Wish I could have recommended this place but because of above comments I cannot. You make your own decision. Also bring your own soap, toiletries, dish soap, etc. They do have plates and silverware, coffee pot, pots & pans, small microwave. Also, there is a gated pool.

There are poo bags for the better, responsible pet owners and most are so. There are protected swans and geese everywhere, which adds to the beauty. Most of the walkers are friendly.

Please clean up after your pets, to keep this gracious area pet friendly!

The Govenor was asking everyone to stay away. We were told that the house was standing so there was no refund. Even if all the roads were closed! After many nasty phone conversations, we were rescheduled to a different part of the state. Then we reserved a house in the same area. 2 months before we arrived, we noted that the description mentioned 6 beds but the pics only showed 5 beds. We were told that the description was right and pics were wrong. Doesn't make sense! When we arrived and noted the problem and contacted the company.....3 days ( and daily queres) before we got the response of "oops". Also asked for sheets for the futon on day one. When we left on day 7, no sheets and no response. Horrible. Horrible! I wish I could give them minus 5.
