Beautiful place

This place is perfectly situated to lots of places and falls and trails and the parkway. The cabin is what we expected to be in the mountains. The only draw back was there is a huge house that it is nestled back on and i believe the swimming pont is common area and we had some very rude people ask us what we were doing but once they understood that we rented the cabin on the property they huffed away. There is also river access on the property that was very nice. We spemt the while day on the property and had a great time between the swimming hole and the river. House is well equiped but i do recommend bringing paper plates and cups as the ones provided seemd more like fine china.

Construction next door changing character of rental.

We have stayed at the East Fork Ranch previously, though this was our first time at the Graves Cabin. Previously, there was the main lodge and then two rustic cabins next door, of which one was the Graves cabin. Since our last stay, the cabin between the lodge and Graves cabin burned down, and it is currently being replaced with a large modern home. The Graves cabin management was very upfront about this, but we believe the construction of the new house will really change the rental experience for both the main lodge and the Graves cabin. In the short term, the construction at the new house leaves limited parking and problems of access. In the long term, the new house 10' away from the Graves cabin, and blocks the view of both the lodge and much of the scenic area. The cabin itself is very nice, but the experience is no longer as magical as it once was.

Great mountain vacation.

So I believe any review should be complete by including the Pros and Cons to be credible given that no vacation is 100% perfect. But this one was sure close to it. CABIN: PROS, very cozy and well appointed. CONS, the upstairs where there are 4 bunk beds is definitely for 10 and under kids. My daughters (17 and 18) although they fit in the bottom bunk beds (top ones are very close to the ceiling), the mirror and chest are about 4 feet high so they had to kneel to blow dry their hair. Sitting on the toilet, their knees prevented them from closing the door. Perhaps in the description of the property where "perfect for kids" is detailed, add something to state "small kids" instead. FYI, there are 2 rooms on the 1st floor each with its own full size/queen bed and each with its own full bathroom. The loft has 4 bunk beds and 1/2 bath (no shower). We also stayed when the temperature dropped to 10 degrees overnight and the heater could only get up to 66 degrees in the cabin so we had to throw on a couple more blankets. LOCATION: PROS: Its on an absolutely beautiful large ranch with a horse I would visit every morning. He would see me walking to the fence from very far away and would immediately come over to have his back scratched just like my dogs. Firepit was also very nice and a huge supply of firewood both at the firepit and on the porch of the cabin. They have a few fishing ponds that supposedly have Brim and Bass but we did not see any. There is also a creek running through the property that could potentially have trout but I did not see any in the times I was out there. CONS: Although it does detail that the main lodge is 100 yards away, it does not mention there is a 3rd cabin immediately next to the Graves that we have to walk past to get to the car in the driveway. I am splitting hairs as there was a family there when we stayed and we barely knew there was anyone there except for their car next to ours. Downtown Waynesville and Maggie Valley were great if you like antiquing and boutique shopping. We did not encounter a single rude person and, on the contrary, everyone including the staff at McDonalds, Wendy's and Ingles (grocery store) provided that special southern hospitality. SUMMARY: As I said before, I had to include some dings for this review to be legit, but the 5 stars I gave is well deserved. Would I stay here again? ABSOLUTELY! Would I recommend this cabin? DEFINITELY.

Cozy Cabin in the Appalachians

Our family of 5 (including three young children) really enjoyed our stay at the Graves Cabin. It was clean, cozy, and comfortable. The owner and property manager were very friendly and helpful; I never had any trouble getting in contact with either. The cabin itself is situated on a ranch in a valley with several fields and about three ponds, all of which you have access to check out. There is plenty for a family with young children to do including exploring, fishing, enjoying the fire pit, etc. We had a great time! However, as the description states, there is construction under way right next door as of Fall 2022 (and it looks months away from completion). It really did not cause a major issue for us, but it's there and detracts from the "ambience", if you will. Construction or not, if you are looking for a secluded getaway, this is probably not the place for you. There are a few rentals and permanent residents nearby that greatly limit how secluded you can feel. Lastly, in the cabin itself, accessing the loft / bunk space will not be easy for anyone who cannot climb a vertical ladder and fit through a roughly 2.5 ft x 2.5 ft access point. Great for kids, not so much for large or physically limited adults. The only reason this property didn't get 5 stars from us is because of the construction, which I hope is understandable. This property definitely merits your consideration!

Liked: Check-in, communication
Disliked: Location, listing accuracy

Lack of Transparency in the Listing

The positives are that the inside of the house is very pleasant and clean and functional. The decor is nice and well maintained. Although, make sure you know that it is very small. The loft ladder is exactly 90* degree straight vertical climb with a small opening at the top just be aware if you are planning for adults to use that area. This is the review that may seem negative but I feel results from a misleading description in the advertised listing: While there was a mentioning of construction in process next door, it turns out the construction is essentially attached to this property. I just want potential renters to be aware: you are staying on a job site. There is makeshift walkway of 2x10 boards nailed together to make your way up to the porch and construction debris and supplies piled up everywhere around where you park and in the yard of Graves Cabin. Parking pad is covered in red clay and mud. Extension cords and PVC pipe and orange caution temporary fencing is wrapping the whole side of the property. You are also not secluded at all. You are situated in between two other properties one seemed to be a permanent residence and the other a very large rental. You will hear highway traffic to your left and all parties and yelling/conversations from the large rental to the right if you are on your porch. Some may be perfectly fine with this, just make sure you are aware what you are paying for. Not trying to run the property down at all, simply leaving an accurate review of my three days at this property.

Nice Cabin

The outside is very run down looking. Our first impression was, "uh-oh!" The inside was very cute, charming, I'd say. The furniture is dated and not very comfortable but we didn't spend a whole lot of time there as we were out hiking and exploring most of the time. The breakfast nook was, by far, my favorite area in the cabin. The bedroom upstairs is tricky. The ladder is built into the wall and goes straight up. It was awkward but doable for most. Bigger people might have a harder time. My over-active safety mind was also concerned about the exit from there if there was an emergency/fire. I'm not sure it would be the easiest.

Charming cabin

The cabin was perfect for the four of us. The only problem was that the cabin next door had burned down in January and it is now a construction site. We were gone during the days so it didn’t affect us that much but it will be a long time before it will be a restful daytime retreat. The kitchen could use one more saucepan.

Family Thanksgiving Weekend

It was a nice place for a family get together. The cabin was clean and rustic. It was smaller than anticipated and could have used more cooking items and utensils. The internet and TV were spotty. The main thing that we did t k ow was that the bunk room was straight up a ladder. The kids with us loved it, but sleeping arrangements had to be changed because someone older in our party could not get up there as originally planned.

Five Stars all the way around for this property! It not only met but exceeded all expectations! The property is beautiful with breathtaking views! We spend our entire visit seeing the sites around the Waynesville/Asheville areas and we found it centrally located and just far enough out for us to feel like we were able to escape during our downtime! It was just the right size for 4 adults! We hope to return in the future!

Relaxing family get away

We had the most relaxing family get away in the Graves cabin. Elizabeth was excellent in communicating with us regarding our booking and Neda, the property manager, was kind and super attentive. They accommodated a couple special request we needed in the kitchen without hesitation. We loved the view and spent countless hours simply rocking on the front porch. The property is so beautiful and peaceful to explore. Per other reviews, the bunk area is definitely better for younger folks but our 20 year old navigated it just fine. Our only desire would have been to have slightly more comfortable living room furniture if you needed to stay in due to inclement weather. It's beautifully decorated but not particularly built for lounging. It wasn't a factor as we spent most of our time outside. We were also surprised to find excellent Wi-Fi and cell service (ATT) and a cord of wood provided for the fireplace. Overall, this is an excellent place if you need to escape. We can't wait to return.

Peaceful and gorgeous

If your looking to unwind and reduce some stress your looking at the right place. The property is beautiful, and the kids enjoyed exploring the creek, fishing in the ponds, and being outdoors. The cabin was well maintained and stocked with useful items to make your start enjoyable. My only complaint was the bed was uncomfortable. The wifi was spotty but I suppose being this far out into the country that is too be expected. My favorite part was having my morning coffee or evening tea or on the porch and soaking in the views
