Everything was great except we couldn’t get the dishwasher to work or lock the door when we checked out. And we had trouble with the internet. Still, great time and comfortable accommodations.

Super nice place
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jan 2025
Great size property. Nice view of the surrounding mountains. Well stocked with wood for a cozy fire. Property is in a great location if you are looking to head up the mountain to Cataloochee.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jun 2022
Two of the outside doors did not lock -very disturbing. We had to jam chairs under the door knobs to try and secure them. Some of the pans had food stuck on them. The garage bin was not big enough to support 6 days of garbage, and if we needed to have it emptied it was an additional $35. I do not feel the price we payed was worth it. Also because the description did not detail pots n pans, small kitchen appliances, toilet paper etc
