Large Luxe Cabin w/Hot Tub 16Mi to Blue Ridge

Reviews

• A lot of little things that added up

  3/5

  The property and view are beautiful but property appears to be lacking in upkeep. There were a lot of "little" things that added up (quickly) to really affect our stay. Loose banisters, slippery stairs, exterior doors that would not stay closed during strong winds, no working microwave on the main floor, wobbly bunk bed... one or two of these could be overlooked but all of them were disappointing to say the least.

  Manager's Response:

  Homeowner's Response: "Hi Alvarez, thank you for the feedback. The microwave replacement is on order, and we expect delivery in the next two weeks. We have been dealing with the home warranty company, and it has been a challenge. I’m sorry for the inconvenience.
  The French doors are a little tricky to get right. However, they need to be lifted up on the handle to engage all the appropriate lock mechanisms. When I came to the property after you departed, I noticed two of them were wide open, just as you described. They also required the locking mechanisms to be engaged.
  I’ll take a look at the bunk beds and the banister. Thank you!"

  Wow, just WOW!!! Every time we woke up or came back at the end of the day, it was just WOW! A new view every day with the clouds, rain, or sun. This cabin was everything it said it was.

  Amazingly great views for miles, great 7 person hot tub also with a great view, plenty of space and beds for our 7 PERSON GROUP, a kitchen with LARGE pantry had everything you would need and plenty of space to put everything. Lots of supplies left over from other peoples stays, so we didn't need to buy a lot of things. And everything was clean, which is one of my biggest pet peeves! So thank you for that for sure. We had plenty of towels. We did have to wash one night. We cannot say enough about how great our trip was. The owner was very responsive and nice when we sent messages about any questions before the trip. Otherwise, we really didn't need him because everything was wonderful.

  Only a few complaints:

  *There was no actual firepit for sitting around a campfire to roast a hot dog or marshmallow. However, there was a nice firepit on the deck that a few people could cuddle up to or sit around and if you opened the door, one person at a time could roast a hotdog/marshmallow. But the outdoor grills & griddles were fantastic and made up for it.

  *Also the bunk beds were not so good for adults to sleep in. You could not sit up in the bottom beds without hitting your head, and the twin mattress on the bottom was not good at all for adults. Kids may suffice, but not for adults.

  I would rent this cabin again in a heartbeat!

  *Had a lot of difficulty locking the double doors!

  Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and making our trip amazing.

  HINT: When we would leave for day trips, the GPS kept trying to turn us to the left at the end of Bruce Mtn Rd. DON'T DO IT! Especially if it has rained. It's a pig trail and very rutted and muddy! Go right and follow that route.

  Also if you want a Wal-Mart, the closest one we found was in Blairsville and Blue Ridge. We went thru Blairsville quite often on our day trips, plus gas was cheapest in that town also.

  PS: If you make it over to Dillard, GA, go eat at the Dillard House. Oh my yumminess! It was amazing and definitely worth it!!!

  When we arrived the place was very clean and had all the amenities. The refrigerator wasn't cooling well but the owner had already contacted me and they were bringing another one but there was another frig downstairs he said we could use till he brought the other. The view was awesome, plenty of seating on the balconies, the hot tub was perfect had plenty of firewood. All the beds were comfortable. We had 12 people and no one complained about the beds. The kitchen is the best stocked one I have ever seen in a rental. We didn't have to buy anything but food. All appliances were updated. The only problem is the wifi isn't good and there was no cable TV but you are in the mountains. If you have hulu live you can watch live TV. All in all this was a fantastic trip and we also had plenty of towels.

  We try to take a family trip every year and there is 12 us. 8 adults and 4 kids. The road to the cabin is very curvy so be careful. When we walked into the cabin it was amazing. It was very clean and well decorated. It had everything we needed for our stay. We stayed in most of the trip so we cooked our own meals. This kitchen was so well stocked we didn't have to buy anything. The appliances were updated and very nice. The refrigerator wasn't working well when we arrived but the host had already contacted me and made arrangements for putting in another one. He was so nice and courteous. He also rebooted the stove while he was there. There were plenty of towels for all of us. The beds were all comfortable. The view was amazing. The only problem some might have is there is no cable or satellite TV and the wifi is iffy. By far this is the nicest place we have stayed and we will rent again. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
