She wanted to argue with me and tell me that after she submits the matters to the home owner, it's out of her hands. As the property manager, she is supposed to handle the matters and follow up on them. On several occasions, I told her that there needed to be a smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector as pursuant of state law. She never installed them. She also could not take the responsibility to respond to me directly and often had her receptionist do it. On more than five occasions I tried calling her and she was never in the office. I tried to visit her and she was never in the office. I told her I wanted out of the lease or I would be suing her for violation of the lease and she told me that if I sued her "I would regret it." Poorly run business, poor customer service, poor human being who tries to swindle you out of your money and take no responsibility. She can't even return phone calls for crying out loud.

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.

My wife and I have been working with Ron and Landen to purchase our new home in Waynesville. We…read morehave been so pleased with their service that I couldn't wait to provide a review. I own and operate a real estate brokerage in Arizona and with 15+ years of full-time experience in the real estate industry, I have managed, worked with, and worked across a number of successful real estate teams. So I can say with authority that Ron and Landen possess a level of local market knowledge and general real estate expertise that exceeds what I've experienced from any other broker team, even in the large metro market that I serve. From the moment that we set up our initial search, Ron and Landen have maintained open lines of communication with us. They had a clear understanding of our preferences so when a property that was a particularly good fit came to market, not only did we receive an automated email notification from the MLS, but they proactively notified us by phone so we didn't risk losing out to another buyer. They arranged for us to tour homes throughout the region and Ron offered his insights along the way so we were able to quickly identify the neighborhoods that "felt" like home to us. Once we found our property and prepared to write our offer, Ron's and Landen's knowledge of the local market shined! They had personally either sold or visited every comparable property, which allowed us to structure an offer that was consistent with market values, ensuring we didn't overpay. As out of state buyers, they have gone the extra mile to help facilitate inspections, appointments with contractors for painting, etc, and other requests that have arisen along the way. I could go on and on about the exceptional service that we've received from the Breese team, but I'll simply say this: If you are considering buying or selling a home in Western North Carolina, do yourself a favor and call Ron and Landen first. With 35+ years of combined local expertise and a true "customer first" focus, they'll earn your business!

When I switched to Mary for my agent, I quickly found a home that met my needs and am happily living there today. Mary Love listened to what I wanted and targeted our search toward just those types of properties in my price range. We looked at several homes together, and when we found the one that was right, she and her team handled the negotiations, the arrangements for inspections, and the closing details very well. Since buying, she has provided me with referrals for service people, whenever I request it; as an example, I just saved 50% on my homeowner's insurance using her insurance agency recommendation. I would recommend Mary Love to others, especially those wanting a "green" home or real estate, and I would use her services as a real estate agent again.

Dan Womack was there that Saturday morning, and we discussed our plans. Dan is from this area, which turned out to be a great advantage. I won't go through all the details, but I want everyone to know that Dan was very patient and accommodating to our every need. Dan spent multiple weekend days helping us out, and when we thought we found a lot we wanted, he did all the work finding all the boundary lines through all the trees, brush, and vegetation. We wound up not buying that lot, but instead inquired about another. Dan did the same thing again-spending I don't know how many hours slogging through the underbrush trying, and finding the boundary lines. When we walked the lot, Dan spent about 2 hours with us. Again! It turned out to be the perfect lot for us. To summarize, Dan spends time to find you what you want, and at an amazing price. Use Dan for any real estate purchase in or around Haywood County.
