When you envision a mountain vacation, this is it! This cozy cabin in the woods is cute as a button. Not too big, not to small, secluded feel, but not secluded at all! There's woodwork throughout, a stone front gas log fireplace, a cozy living/kitchen/dining space plus a sunroom with a wall of windows looking out into the woods. Enjoy the sun-soaked deck during the day and lounging around the fireplace at night! And while it feels secluded, the cabin is on Sugar Mountain, so it is very convenient to all activities, attractions and events.

Deck is awful

Deck at property is very dangerous if you have kids or pets . Cannot believe they are renting this property with a deck like this. Also furniture on deck is awful, upstairs smells bad and downstairs smells like mold even though they are running a humidifier. Terrible property. Dogpoop on porch and bags of dog-pop left in yard.

Great location!

Overall the property was fabulous because of the location! First impression all seemed very clean but once settled we realized it hadn’t been perfectly cleaned. We also didn’t have an outside trash receptacle to put our trash in when leaving. We would’ve appreciated direction in which baseboard heat dial worked for which room and the fireplace did not work. More (clean) pots and pans would be appreciated for when not going out to eat. The sunroom was our favorite room!! Beautiful!

Mts. Get away.

The only problem we had was with the digital door locks and getting in the house.. The two key boxes on the right and one on the left was a little confusing. But house keeping came out and explained how to get into the house. There is a faucet in the kitchen that is difficult to turn all the way off. It keeps leaking. Otherwise everything was great.

Disappointing, dirty, dusty, moldy, neglected

Disappointing to say the least. The house has obviously been neglected over the years and the owners have ignored years of feedback from other renters. For starters, there was cobwebs and dead bugs in every room, mold in the bathroom, dried and sticky coffee on the kitchen counter top, and animals in the walls and ceiling. But it was the dust and mold that left us feeling sick. Also, most of the lights didn’t work. Either the switches are broken or the bulbs were burned out. This left the house dark and us frustrated. It had the feel of an abandoned home. I know the owners say to contact the management company but we paid with the expectation that these details would and should be taken care of. Not our responsibility to point out your incompetence. No chance of a repeat stay here.

A lovely little cabin

Very well appointed, has everything you could possibly need. For those of us of the older generation, the steps were a problem, also getting in and out of the deep tub. WiFi connection badly in need of update. We loved the sun porch and we enjoyed the comfortable furniture, including a very comfortable bed. It would be helpful if the owner would write up a guide as to which of the two remotes to be used for the television. We ended up using one remote to turn the tv off and on and adjusting the volume, the other for channel selection. Was confusing, frustrating. We had beautiful weather and we enjoyed touring the area and viewing the colorful leaves. The evening of our arrival we notified Vrbo of a broken arm of bedroom ceiling light. It was repaired the next day. Signs of mildew around the bathtub were a bit disconcerting.

Great Stay

Positives:We loved this cabin—it met all of our needs and is in a wonderful location. We were 10 minutes to grandfather mountain and 15 minutes to Boone! We loved having the options of the living room, sunroom and deck. The inside furniture was super comfy! Slight Negatives: NO AC- although we did very much appreciate the fans located in the rooms, but we had to leave the doors open to get some air flow to feel sticky mid afternoon. And only other complaint was a musty smell in lower level bedroom (and towels were also left in washer and smelled extremely sour upon our arrival)

Could be a great place but...

The location and size of this house are both great. The view out the back of the property is very serene and we loved having our coffee in the crisp morning air on the sun deck. This place could be really wonderful, but...overall, the house was in ok condition and is well overdue for a deep cleaning and some TLC. The is the first rental that we've ever stayed in that didn't feel truly clean (and we've stayed in many over the last 10 years). From the stained white carpet, bugs in the corners of the rooms and window sills, black mold surrounding the master bath/shower, to the cigarette butts and random items stored on the un-kept lower deck, it just didn't feel clean. The pillows all need to be replaced (yuck) and the lack of bath mats beyond the single motel-grade towel on the floor in the bathrooms made this property less than pleasant. There were a few cold nights, but we weren't confident in the cleanliness of the blankets in the closet to dare use them. There was no dumpster on site for the household trash, as other reviewers have mentioned (we looked everywhere and ended up taking our trash to town). We were there for a total of 7 nights, and luckily, there were only 2 of us staying because the overall lack of bathroom towels, decent bed pillows, and extra trash bags would be a real problem for a larger family. The electricity went off multiple times for many hours in the evening/middle of the night while we were there - I'm not sure of the cause, but since this happened in August, I would hate to think of no power on the colder winter nights. We are pretty easy going, so we made due and enjoyed our stay in the mountain air surrounded by the forests, but this is not a luxurious property and the lack of overall cleanliness and care of the property was very apparent. We will definitely consider staying at a different property for our future trips to the area.
