I have stayed at many rental properties and VRBO's. I was visiting Hiawassee on family matters and rented this cabin. Wow! It was absolutely the nicest place I have every stayed, pet friendly or otherwise. I travel with my small dog and have found "pet friendly" is often code for lower quality, smelly properties. Not so with this house. It was immaculate and fantastic. Everything seemed brand new, including the cabin itself. High quality building materials, appliances, furniture, even the decorating. Everything worked perfectly, including the fireplace which added an extra dimension to the stay. The bed was clean, seemed brand new and VERY comfortable. The neighborhood is secluded and quiet. It was winter and although it is located in a "high end" neighborhood, it seemed many of them were vacation homes - I didn't see alot of other people around. I slept better than in my own bed as it was so comfortable and quiet. There is plenty of streets for dog walking, if you don't mind walking a hill or two. I give this place my highest rating and would recommend it to anyone!
