Enjoyable weekend

Nice place - kitchen and bath well stocked. Furnace worked very well for a cold weekend! As pictured, but I must say very sparsely decorated. Honestly, a few bedside lamps in the downstairs bedroom would be much appreciated, as would an area rug and bath rug on the cold tile floor. And a few more lamps upstairs. Hard to read in the evening with just the overhead light.

Water Pressure was basically a Trickle in the Main Bathroom

Though I was provided with an entry code, I was flagged down to check-in with the community association, a requirement that was not previously communicated to me. The person I presume was an association employee took the opportunity to lecture me extensively on the community rules and then proceeded to write down my name, my license plate number and the address of the VRBO. After checking in, I received an automated text inquiring about the quality of my check-in experience. I replied with a photo and a note, pointing out that the pillows in the main floor bedroom were discovered on the floor next to the bed. I was met with a boilerplate response, thanking me for my feedback but offering no clarification or resolution about the pillow situation. As a result, I was left questioning whether the pillowcases were clean or not, especially since no alternative pillowcases were available. In the lower-level bedroom, the ceiling fan was noticeably dated, to the extent that the blades were visibly drooping. The water pressure in the master bathroom was disappointingly inadequate. Both the sink and the shower offered little more than a feeble stream, which impacted the overall experience. The cabin delivered on most of the promises made in the listing. However, if water pressure is important to you, I would recommend staying somewhere else.

I loved the quiet and the relaxation of the cabin and of the town. I would have loved it a lot more if it wasn't so high up 😂. Let's just say I did some major praying get up to the cabin but loved everything about it once I was there. So if you are comfortable with that type of drive, I highly recommend. The cabin was fully equipped with EVERYTHING you needed for your stay.

Nice home

The home was very nice, besides the spider webs in most of the corners of the home. Off the beat path but close enough to everything you would need. Was nice that the road was paved and didn’t have to worry about gravel roads. Would be cautious booking this house if the winter time due to steep narrow roads leading up to the house and ice would be a big issue.

Birthday Celebration

Our cabin was located on Walnut Mountain. It was clean and comfortable. The beds were very nice. We had problems with the gate transponder not being available to us for the first day which meant we had to give up a good portion of our day devoted to getting that resolved which wasn’t until the next day. Thanks to the guard house attendant Chris for helping us. The refrigerator did not make any ice so that was a pain and the lower bedroom smelled musty. Easy fixes to resolve for next time I am sure.

Not quite what we expected...

The cabin was in a community. The other cabins were within easy viewing distance. We were hoping for something a bit more isolated. The cabin was clean, but outdated. No TVs in either of the rooms. The water pressure was horrible.. you couldn't run both showers at the same time. You couldn't wash clothes and dishes at the same time. Not sure what was going on here, but it needs to be addressed. Location was convenient to town, dining, and restaurants. We would probably go to Blue Ridge or Hiawassee in the future though.

Great weekend getaway

It was a super quiet property. The upstairs was perfect! Modern cabin and super clean and smelled fresh. The downstairs had a bit of a funny smell, musty or something, but it’s a cabin in the woods so it’s to be expected. It’s miles better than the last cabin we rented where the smell was over bearing and permeated throughout the house. The kids ages 9 and 10 had a blast swinging on vines climbing up and down the hill and rolling a truck down the hill. It really was the perfect weekend. One other thing, although the cabin was super clean, there were a couple spiders in one of the bathrooms when we got there. So if your kids aren’t used to that. You might want to send an adult in to clear them out. Once they were safely outside, we didn’t have any other unexpected guests. The cabin is within 15 minutes of some delicious BBQ and other civilization (Walmart, Etc.). Thanks again. We really had a terrific stay!

Fun & lots to do.

Fan in master - could not turn off light with out turning off fan too. Making it hot . Used boxes fan downstairs because it was hot. Really enjoyed screened porch in morning & evening. Very pretty looking down into the woods. About 9:00-9:30 in the morning a small black bear would come through but not to close to the cabin. We didn't cook but looks like you have everything to Cook with. We went to Blairsville for a car show first day. .Next day Helen need a full day for this as we went to the Swan Drive-in afterwards. Made for a really long day. We needed one more day to relax & enjoy the cabin & immediate area.

Very nice

We had a great time over here, totally recommend for a family of four to six. The only problem we encountered was that the agent designated here was not that helpful, didn’t respond to emails and her messages weren’t that clear and took a while to respond to them. She said she will call us, never did. Besides that it is a great place for spending a nice vacation.

Comfortable

This cabin was comfortable but sparsely furnished. It had all the essentials for 6 guests but just barely. For example only 6 place settings of dishes and mismatched silverware. Furniture was comfortable also but living room furniture looked like it was picked up at different yard sales. It would appear that they are upgrading the cabin because the kitchen and master bathroom have been renovated.
