We utilize VRBO four times a year. I was surprised with this stay. We were expecting a cabin that is described as being close to another cabin but no mention of it being a DUPLEX. Hearing our neighbors' conversations etc... isn't what we were after. Our side of the duplex was clean, but it is definitely in need of upgrades throughout. It could be so much better with a refresh. As a side note: the Master Bedroom did not have an ensuite. The bathroom was in the hallway. Considering the above, for the cost, I feel the value was not there in comparison to other locations in the area where we have stayed.On the positive, it was easily accessible. Any vehicle can travel the road without issue. The owner/agent was helpful at booking through check in. The duplex is centrally located. We kayaked from Cable Cove to the Smoky's and hiked Deep Creek. Such an awesome area for outdoor adventures!
