We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the balboa luxury cabin over Thanksgiving! The home was large and extremely clean and comfortable. The views were stunning, the internet fast, and all of the kitchen appliances worked! (As a group that travels every thanksgiving, working ovens and stovetops are a big deal!) I highly recommend this cabin for large, multi- age groups.

Paradise in the mountains

Our family had the best time during our stay at Balboa Cabin. It was the perfect relaxing and gorgeous home for our family vacation. The views are spectacular. The home is easy to access, extremely clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged. The light switches and cabinet labels were so helpful. Highly recommend Balboa as it lovely to stay while visiting and exploring the surrounding area.

Wonderful home for a large group

We had a great stay in a beautiful home near Sugar Mountain. We were a group of 4 families and the space was perfect for us with stunning views. The kids in particular loved the game room arcade that was full of games they enjoyed during our stay. Subtracted 1 star due to sparse communication with the property management company. We reached out with a few questions and never heard back. We also really wished the check-in could have been a bit earlier than 4 and the check-out a bit later than 10. Overall, though, fantastic property for a large group.

Great view but stinky

The view is amazing but there was smell in the property. When we entered the garage there was trashed piled on the floor plus trash loaded on the back off the golf cart must of been there for days. I called the emergency number of the property management and was told the maintance people would come on Thursday and when know one showed up I found the local dump and took the trash there. When I left on Monday trash was still on the golf cart. The money I spent for the 5 days wasn't worth it.There was ton of flies because of the trash. We where up in the area for my son wedding and although the view was amazing everything else was stinky
