About this property

Orchid Cabin- Wonderful 4bd/3ba w/Foosball, pet friendly, near Original Mast General, River

Welcome to Orchid Cabin, in the charming Valle Crucis community. Enjoy your evenings on the balcony listening to the music from the nearby Mast Farm Inn. Enjoy the playground, paved walking paths, or trout fishing in the Valle Crucis Community Park only half a mile down the road. Next to the park is the famous Mast General Store Annex.

Situated on the hillside, Orchid Cabin has an entrance on the main level and also one directly to the lower level. At the main entrance, you'll find a small back patio. Inside, the cozy living room focuses on the wood-burning fireplace with sofa and chairs. A TV let's you watch your favourite show, or just gather around and catch up with friends. The kitchen and dining is nearby with stainless appliances, granite counters, and seating for up to eight.

Three queen bedrooms are on the main level. To one side of the living area is a queen suite with tiled shower. Across the living room are two more queen bedrooms with a jack and jill bath between them. Double vanities offer space for your belongings. There is a narrow spiral staircase with gate leading you downstairs. Pets, little ones, and those with mobility access will want to use caution, but there is a center pole and grab bars to steady oneself all the way down. Once down, you'll find the lower den with wood stove and a second living space, including a twin bed with twin trundle underneath in the corner. Off of the den are a queen bedroom and a small bonus space with a set of twin over twin bunks. A third full bathroom and laundry center on are on the lower level, as well.

Family Ski Trip

Great location for a family ski trip. The home was very comfortable and larger than expected. Had a few issues with the booking with having pets, but those issues were eventually worked out ahead of time. A few issues with the home - no instructions for anything. Lights were a little funky to figure out, but no big deal. Hot tub needs clear directions, dish washer did not work. Had to ask for instructions for check-out. Those are things that will get worked out as I understood a new rental for the management company. Overall- this is a very relaxing house with room to spread out. I would definitely book again.

Great spot for a large family

This home was clean, well appointed, and conveniently located to several skiing mountains. We had a great stay. Lots of brand new appliances, dishes, etc. It exceeded our expectations.
