4/10 Poor

Pamela S.

Disliked: Cleanliness
This house has the potential to be beautiful and for what is being charged I expected more. There were a lot of dead bugs on the floors, windowsills, and in the upstairs bathroom. The couch cushions have a lot of stains and could really use a good cleaning and any dishes we wanted to use needed washed first. Several things on the floor were missed, 2 q-tips and small game pieces on the upstairs rug, which tells me those aren’t shook out or vacuumed. Thank goodness my daughter found them or our small dog would have definitely got a hold of them. After reading the guest book, it sounds like we aren’t the only ones that arrived to poor housekeeping. The bedroom furniture is set up randomly with no real purpose and there are no TVs other than the one in the LR. I always strip the beds at the end of our stays to try to be helpful and the one mattress pad had a large yellow stain on it. Two soaking wet towels were left down by the hot tub and I would love to know the last time the hot tub was cleaned. The drive there is tricky, but the view is amazing. Unfortunately next time we will look to stay somewhere else.

Great cabin

This place was very nice. It had great views and was very quiet. The kids enjoyed their space downstairs and we enjoyed the large master upstairs. We were close enough to Ashville and drove there daily. We loved the tree top adventure trails and sliding rock were great. We would definitely stay here again!

Great Views, Needs Some TLC.

The cabin is as advertised. Decks need to be cleaned and wasp nests removed. Rubber/plastic mattress covers make sleeping uncomfortable, especially the master bedroom. Not something I would expect for a quality hotel or resort which is the price we paid for 3 days. I have stayed in several VRBO homes and never have mattress covers like these. Views were wonderful and the hot tub was a plus. Fire pit was completely over grown with brush and weeds. Looked like nobody had used it or maintained it for years. All in all I would recommend if ownership would address the exterior cleaning and mattress covers.

Mountain house, Asheville,NC

The yard & house needed updating to match the pictures on VRBO. Garbage disposal was broke & kitchen sink was leaking. Took two day to get it fixed. On a good note TV, WiFi, A/C hot water all worked well. The view from the deck, although peeping paint, was as advertised.

beautiful setting!

We loved staying in this cabin in the mountains. Everything was very comfortable, and we had plenty of what we needed for our stay. I did leave some comments for the owners when we left. You might be sure to mention in the information that getting to the house after dark is quite tricky for those unused to mountain road driving. Arriving before dark would be preferable!
