Family Fun

Easy to find, good location, overall cleanliness of property good. Nice living room and kitchen area. The dryer didn’t dry as fast as we wanted. The hot tub was enjoyable and the view scenic but it lost heat during use and fit the three of us well. The road to the driveway was steep and curvy. A challenge for us not from the mountains. Definitely only room for two cars in the driveway.

Cabin in blue ridge mountains

Lovely cabin with many amenities. Location of the property up a steep incline was a little scary and no address marker so went to wrong place but once inside it was pleasant and as advertised. Close to national park which was a necessity

Broken hot tub

Rented this cabin for the weekend because it stated it had a hot tub.... That I've been broken weeks before we got there so it was completely unusable. We froze the first night because the heat did not work and the gas logs would not come on

Very disappointing stay

We had planned on a fun mountains trip with a hot tub and a view. At least it had a view. Otherwise it was a fail. There was loads of uncollected trash outside. The hot tub hadn’t been maintained. The 2nd floor was 15 degrees hotter than the first floor. The pics of the house are not current. The new furniture is worse across the board. Vacasa is quick to respond and Shannon was very helpful. We ended up leaving a day early. One positive note - it is very easy to get to Dillsboro, Sylvia, and surrounding areas.

Disappointed with Vacasa, I will avoid using them in the future.

The house was fine, it was like the pictures. We rented this house through VRBO, I hate having to download an addional app to get into the house. We reached put to Vacasa as soon as we arrived to ask about getting a door to the porch unlocked. The two glass doors to use to walk out onto the porch you see in the picture next to the fireplace are locked. Meaning you have to go out the front door and go all the way around the house to get to the hot tub. When we called we were connected to corporate vacasa and we're told the "local" team would reach out to us. We were never contacted by the local team. Not to tell us yes or no, just radio silence. Also they had people come weedeat on Saturday morning and we were not told they were coming. We were woken up my the sound of the machines and the people coming up onto the porch to do whatever they were doing. The communication from Vacasa was terrible unless they were trying to get us to "rate" them. I would not recommend using Vacasa.

Wonderful cabin!

We loved everything about this place. Nice area with great views of the forest and the mountains, cool fire pit and viewpoint area, wonderfully furnished house and a great hot tub. The wifi connection was excellent, and the house was spotless when we moved in. Every electrical appliance is up to date and in good condition. Not much to say other than the vacation went great thanks to this house.

Nice cabin, good location

Really nice cabin, plenty of room for our family of 6. Everything was clean and the kitchen was stocked with all you need to cook, just bring the food! I will agree on the steep driveway, but our ford explorer did just fine. Once you go up once it’s not so bad. The property was well maintained and we enjoyed the little seating area, with a really nice view a short walk down the driveway. We love the Cherokee area and this was a short drive which is why we chose this cabin. Definitely recommend taking the drive, especially if you have kids, and spend a day at the oconaluftee island park. Bring your tubes and make a day of it. Also the Elk that come out a bit before sunset near the visitor center are amazing to see! Overall we loved the cabin, customer service was great and we will definitely use Vacasa again.

This cabin is fantastic! Tucked away in a mountain but still close to all the activities and hikes in the area. Very clean and well appointed. Will definitely book it again!

Sylva Vacation

We chose this property for its ease in getting to from the main road and nearness to Sylva. In that regard, the property exceeded our expectations. Aside from the information provided by the agency, we found the property to be extremely clean, TV and WiFi excellent, and a kitchen with a surplus of plates, cups, and utinsels. We would certainly rent the property again.

Great Cabin

We really enjoyed staying here. We made good use of all the amenities and everything that was listed was there and in working order. The cabin is even nicer than the listing shows, and is the perfect mix of modern comfort and semi seclusion. Highly recommend.

Nice location but left a lot to be desired

The property had a great location for what we wanted to do during our trip. This property has 4 TVs. All of which have access to streaming services, but these are “not offered amenities at this location” direct tv does not work here either and the water softener located off the kitchen is extremely loud every time water is used. The hot tub temperature randomly went from 104 to 90, and back to 104. If you intend on just sleeping here, this is a great location close to plenty of destinations. If you intend on watching tv or enjoying the hot tub, then find somewhere else to stay. The internet is super slow and spotty. Screen mirroring on the tv also does not work properly. For the price, a nice hotel would work better in most cases.

10 stars!

My family frequently visists this area and this was one of the best places we have ever stayed! This well appointed cabin was perfect for our relaxing family getaway. Everything was clean and comfortable, and the home was stocked with everything we needed. The hot tub was amazing and we truly enjoyed the peace and quiet of this mountain retreat! I hope our travels bring us back to Hawks Landing very soon!

Stay away!

We never even made it inside this house located up one of the most treacherous roads most folks can imagine. I drive a truck and we were never even able to make it in to the driveway. After almost going over a cliff to get back down, I called the property manager and was told that because of strict North Carolina laws, they wouldn’t consider a refund or credit towards a future stay. I called VRBO and they put me right back in touch with the property manager and according to their staff and many reviews, this is a regular occurrence with this property. I asked if the owner was notified and was told no so I’m going to call him tomorrow in Ft. Lauderdale to discuss the situation. I have rented from VRBO since the app was invented , several trips a year but this will be the last one if we can’t come to a settlement. We had young drivers joining us for a graduation weekend and for their safety I had to find another, more expensive house at the last minute. So I had 2 VRBO rentals over the last 4 days. Very disappointed with VRBO and especially the property manager, VACASA. If I have to spend more on an attorney than the cost of the rental I’m willing to do it because of the series of events. Completely took away from what was supposed to be a family celebration weekend.
