Cozy Whittier Cabin + Yard & Hot Tub, Pets Welcome

Reviews

• At the top of mountain

  4/5

  It was nice and rustic. I had zero issues with anything except the climb to the top. The instructions did say that during winter months you do need 4x4, but we went at the end of October where I still wore shorts. The climb to the cabin was sketchy for someone who doesn’t drive on sides of mountains very often. I suggest at least having 4x4 all the time just in case when renting this cabin. Other than the climb up, I would recommend this cabin .

  5/5

  It was our second time staying at the property and we really enjoyed it again. We love the fenced in back yard for our two small dogs. Location is great with Dillsboro and Sylva being less than 10 miles and Cherokee and Bryson City less than 15. We plan to return in late October

• Mostly great

  4/5

  The cabin is great. It is well stocked (dishes and cooking supplies), had plenty of room, the 2 window unit A/Cs kept the entire cabin cool, and the fenced backyard was fantastic for our 2 dogs. The bad part of this place was the atrocious last half mile of our drive which was Whittier Heights Rd and Conifer Dr. It is definitely not the most scenic drive in with the junkyard looking house on WH Rd and the ruts/road condition for both roads were awful. You definitely wouldn't want to take a car or you'd probably bottom out. Overall, it was a great stay if you can look past that part. Great location that is close to a lot of different activities. Would recommend, just drive a truck!

• Nice little getaway

  5/5

  We really enjoyed our stay. We needed a little getaway and this place was quiet and peaceful. We loved the hot tub the most. The drive up was a little scary but that wouldn't stop us from booking again.

• SAFETY AND SECURITY RISK

  1/5

  This property is not SAFE! Under any circumstances do not rent this property. The gravel, one lane mountain road is dangerous. The property is not marked, the exterior of the property is nothing like the photos and there is a large occupied junk yard around the corner from the property. Evolve should NOT allow this property to be listed.

  Tried to reach out to the owner of the property four different times with no response.

  Hi Keith, we always appreciate honest and constructive feedback, but the homeowner would like to clarify the following points:
  - The road leading to the property is a gravel road less than 1/4 mile from the paved road, and while it is a single lane, it has been navigated safely by many guests.
  - The property is clearly marked and matches the photos in the listing, with recent updates including a new sofa and flooring.
  - The homeowner has had around 200 bookings with no prior issues regarding the safety or appearance of the property.
  - The homeowner did attempt to respond to your calls and can confirm that you did access the property.
