We had to purchase a couple of window ac units to cool the upstairs! And still no word on damper motor replacement yet.

Carolina Cottages is a horrid and unethical company to rent from. After having similar experiences…read moreas other reviews (check out the filtered reviews). We had to sue this company to get our lease deposit back. They showed up in small claims court with a lawyer and tried to put forth the argument that we didn't have a lease with them. Needless to say we won a judgement, but in their infinite wisdom, Carolina Cottages has chosen to appeal the judgement. So instead of doing the right thing, paying a client what is owed, they are choosing to pay an attorney to drag this thing out even further. Now I potentially need an attorney of my own to defend my judgement. So I probably sound like a frustrated ex tenant - you bet I am. This company "lost" our walk through information, would not negotiate or even consider accepting our pre-move in pictures as proof of existing damages, and had the audacity to blame it all on the owner who lives out of the country. Bottom line is that Carolina Cottages should be avoided at all costs. By the way - the first five star review for them is questionable - 5 stars from Lee. L?

From our very first conversation to the final closing, Paula demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism that made the entire process smooth and stress-free. What stood out most was her professionally crafted communication. Every email, text, and phone call was clear, concise, and timely. She kept me informed at every step, explaining complex details in a way that was easy to understand without ever overwhelming me. Her updates were consistent and thoughtful, ensuring I always knew exactly where we stood. Paula also excelled at providing honest, constructive feedback. When preparing the house for showings, she offered practical suggestions that significantly improved the presentation without pushing unnecessary expenses. During negotiations, her insights on buyer offers and market conditions were spot-on and helped me make confident decisions. Her strategic approach was truly impressive. Paula developed a tailored marketing plan that highlighted my home's best features, priced it competitively based on thorough market analysis, and adjusted tactics quickly as needed. Most importantly, Paula's effort and dedication were evident throughout the entire process. She was always available, went above and beyond to coordinate showings, inspections, and paperwork, and handled every challenge with calm expertise and a positive attitude. She truly cared about getting the best outcome for me. If you're looking for a realtor who combines professionalism, strategy, and genuine hard work, Paula is the one. Thank you, Paula, for making what could have been a daunting experience so successful and enjoyable!

I basically had to harass my property manager for one dehumidifier for our serious mold issues and was then told by the property owner to use "elbow grease" to resolve it. After an insurance adjuster, a plumber, and a contractor visited the property, the contractor (right in front of me) ripped off a piece of the rotten subfloor and said he could push his fingers through the wood. There was no exterior wall insulation, letting in wind and the elements regularly. In the 18 months I lived at the rental, I saw maybe two employees. I even visited their Arden office and not a single employee was present. My property manager refused to refund me the money for the total days my door was unable to even shut fully following a break in, even after I sent in the police report. They raised my rent by $30 a month after I had already reported the mold issues. If you're a renter in Asheville or NC, stay far away from this company and go for a bigger property management group. I've never seen this amount of dysfunction from a renter in my life.

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.

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.
