• Beautiful spring break family vacation

  5/5

  We rented this house with our 4 children and 2 sets of grandparents. Everyone loved the beautiful views, layout, and big front porch. The kitchen was well stocked, beds comfortable. The downstairs unit was a bit difficult to figure out how to heat, but overall the stay was amazing. The kids enjoyed the play room. The house was also close to many amazing hikes. The host was easy to contact and so accommodating. We would stay again! Thank you for your hospitality!

  Location and property were great only negative point is WiFi and TV access not so good. Also just know that cell coverage is very spotty.

  Lovely cabin on the mountain with plenty of room to sleep a large gathering. Unfortunately the property management company isn’t very concerned with simple touches that would add to the experience, nor do they seem to care about guest comfort and/or aggravation.

  There’s an honor wine bar, but no wine. There’s a fireplace and fire pit, but no wood. There’s a gas heater on the front porch, but no gas. Given the cost of the cabin for a week, it would seem that spending $50 on such amenities for guests wouldn’t be a stretch. At the very least add to the cabin description that you’ll need to bring a bundle of wood, propane tank, and a sharp axe up the mountain!

  As annoying as that was, it’s nothing compared to the frustration of trying to get the dishwasher to start or trying to keep the heat from roasting us out. Contacted management about both items only to hear that the dishwasher “should “ work and that the thermostat was a “learning “ model. I’m not sure who taught the thermostat, but it really needs a remedial course because every night it would jump up several degrees and cook everyone until someone reset it. Then it would bump itself up again a few hours later.

  There was also a broken chair and stool in the front room, which limited seating capacity, but usually at least one person was always up trying to get the dishwasher to start so that wasn’t a big problem.

  Overall I’d say it was a 3.5 star cabin that could easily push 5 stars if there were a little more attention to comfort detail and more helpful responsiveness to occupants.
