Beautiful Location for Snow

Upon arrival a few minutes before 4 PM, we were surprised to find the driveway completely covered in thick snow, despite the surrounding roads and other driveways being clear. With both an AWD and a 4x4 vehicle, we still struggled to get traction and ended up sliding down. Our family had to manually shovel and sand the driveway just to attempt access.To make matters worse, when some family tried to enter the cabin at check-in time, the entry code didn’t work. I called the rental office at least 30 times with no response, left a message, and finally got a call back. They reset the code but only offered an apology for the unplowed driveway, placing us on a waitlist for plowing that never happened. We had to clear the driveway ourselves to ensure we could leave safely. Given that our stay was booked weeks in advance, there was no excuse for the property not being prepared. If we weren’t physically able to shovel, we wouldn’t have been able to access the cabin at all.Inside, the space was nice but had a few issues. The upstairs railing was wobbly, and one of the dining chairs kept breaking at the bottom. The bunk beds are better suited for older children, but our kids (ages 11, 9, 8, and 6) were uncomfortable sleeping in basement. They felt too far away from us, as they were beside the garage door while we were on the very top floor. I encourage the owners to add a larger dining table to accommodate all guests. We brought a table and chairs from home to help accommodate us.

Amazing

The house was amazing and large enough that everyone could be apart but also together if that makes sense. The house was wonderful and the pictures are very accurate. We came to see fall foliage and it did not disappoint

Nice location!

This is in a beautiful neighborhood with large lots (so it felt very private)! The beds were super comfortable (most important to me, Lol!), the kitchen was truly a fully stocked kitchen! It has every single spice you could need. We loved the Keurig coffee maker, and they do have hair dryers in the bathrooms. The front porch glider was so nice and comfortable. We enjoyed hiking up and down the streets in between rains when we couldn’t go to favorite hiking destinations (Grayson Highlands, Doughton Park,etc).
