8 / 10Excellent·Dec 2025
First, the view was amazing! Our family enjoyed being together for Thanksgiving and the dinning area was perfect for ten of us. The location was great-close to West Jefferson, Frosty’s and a grocery. It was nice to have 4 bathrooms. BUT there are only 3 bedrooms even though they list 4. There is a Murphy bed in the game room along with a full bath. There was not any extra blankets in any bedroom. There were no hand towels, only 3 bath mats and the soap in the bathrooms were watered down. The kitchen had most everything needed for preparing meals. Overall the house was clean except floors were dirty/dusty.And as mentioned the driveway is quite tricky. Just be aware if bad weather. Jennifer at Carolina Mtn Rentals responded quickly with a few things that needed addressing. We appreciated her help.

As this is our third year, staying at the same cabin, we are very pleased with all the amenities offered. The only suggestion I have, is maybe large mixing bowls for the kitchen and sheets provided for the Murphy bed. The property management at our request turned the lights on in the driveway as we arrived in the night. This was so very helpful and would encourage This to be done for future renters that arrive after daylight.
