Nice cabin with super comfy sofas and beds. Very clean. Great hot tub with water just perfect. Nice porches. The only negative I found was a tree that had fell ( looked to have been there a while) on the deck overlooking the creek. It had not been cleaned up and blocked the view of the waterfalls and was hanging over your head while sitting on that deck.

Loved the location of the cabin. Very clean and almost everything we wanted. We were warned the Hot Tub was broken and were given a refund for that. It would have been nice, but was not essential to our trip. What was essential was the view of the creek. A huge branch had fallen from the side of the house to the second deck level, and we were very disappointed it was not cleared before we got there. Now we didn't call because we were sure they would not have cleared it before we left and was a large request to have done so. Other than that, I loved the house and all that went with it. Bed arrangements were great and very comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked and the coffee maker was perfect. It might just be the perfect place to enjoy and with hopes we will stay again and the issues are fixed

The cabin was clean cozy and perfect for us! We would definitely stay again. We enjoyed the clean hot tub at night and slept soundly with the creak running just outside. I accidentally made the reservation for the following week, but on the afternoon we arrived to town they were able to get the cleaning crew there to get the cabin ready for us at 4:00 after people had rented for the previous week and just checked out! Highly recommend!!

This property is gorgeous, clean and perfect for a relaxing stay. The creek and waterfalls outside are beautiful. We left the windows and doors open as much as possible so we could hear them while we were at the property. We can't wait to come back again in the future!For those traveling with pets, the white house and green house each have a dog that come outside without leashes. A yellow lab and a Weimaraner. The lab is very friendly but came up on the deck without warning several times. The Weimaraner is barky but was also fine.

We had a great time. We loved the cozy cabin vibes, kids loved the hot tub and creek. For anyone with little kids the stairs to the creek are quite steep and there were no gates which could be concerning for littles. The upstairs bathroom NEEDS a blind. We improvised with a towel but it has been mentioned in previous reviews and is still wide open when you step out of the shower. Also blinds in the loft for that extra bedroom, kids were up with the sun! The property isn’t as private as I thought which is no fault to the listing or anything and neighbors seem friendly. There are friendly roaming dogs that live in the area, just be aware if you are traveling with furry friends. Neighborhood dogs do poop on the property which is a little annoying as I am someone who tries to clean up after my dogs especially when we are visiting somewhere. Husband ruined a pair of shoes from dog poop that was not from ours. All in all it was a good visit and I would recommend this property.

The cabin definitely needed a deep cleaning. There was no shade on the bathroom upstairs window. The shade on the downstairs bath kept falling down. All the things on the walls were really covered in dust and webs.The hot tub was very nice and of course the creek was nice.

Hot Tub and Creek are Excellent

We really enjoyed our time by the creek. The sound of the waterfall is just excellent. We spent nearly all our time in the hot tub or by the creek and that was wonderful for the entire family. There were a couple of things that can be better - this is the worst stocked rental I’ve been in. Normally you can count on some condiments in the fridge, trash bags, etc so you don’t need to bring absolutely everything, but this rental expected you to bring everything except for soap.-cleanliness could be better, my infant son found an old bandaid while crawling on the floor in the living room.- the lighting inside was challenging, the main spaces were either too dark or lit by harsh fluorescent ceiling lights.-the creek has been significantly impacted by flooding from Helene and doesn’t look at all like the photos online. While this obviously isn’t the owners fault, it has been six months since the storm and the pictures should be updated.

Spacious, clean and quiet

This was a great spot for a family gathering (dogs included!). It’s a beautiful spot along the creek. It was quiet and clean and had plenty of space. The downstairs bathroom was chilly in the winter, and the road was a little rough coming in, but those things were both manageable. The property managers were very prompt and helpful with communication.

Easy-Peazy

This is a good house. Easy to get to off the main road. If you travel in the winter you will need 4WD. The house has everything you need for an easy stay. Beds are comfortable. Hot tub was excellent and worked great. View of river was beautiful for morning coffee. This house isn’t super fancy. But if you don’t need frills it’s perfect. My ONLY complaint is the towels provided smelled mildewed. Other than that, the house was great gift a long weekend.
