Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental property was beautiful. The home had all the conveniences of home. Well stocked kitchen items. We enjoyed the gas fireplaces. We had a little problem regulating the heat in the cabin and had to call after hours number to get assistance. The thermostat had to be reset and the heat started working, so much so that we had to constantly keep turning it turn because it got so warm. Other than that stay was great. Area is close to ski areas, the Blue Ridge Parkway and not too far from Asheville. Downtown Waynesville had nice area to walk with nice shops and good restaurants . Many need reservations, so call ahead. Very nice cabin and stay. We could not use many outside facilities because of weather. Road was a little daunting, especially at night. Not sure how it would be during any snow or ice conditions. Rental company was very helpful and pleasant to work with. Check in and check out process was very good. Will stay here again!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Love the mountain cabin furnishings instead of modern, very comfortable furniture. ON the downside--the master bedroom closet is locked so cannot hang up clothes which is a problem when staying for a week. Owner should use space downstairs or bring as they need. Also the lighting on main floor is bad, all shades are orange which dims the light, and the master bathroom fixtures are orange and also hung upside down with bulbs pointing upwards instead of down. Very hard to see doing makeup, shaving, etc. the same guy must have installed the kitchen faucet--the hot and cold and on/off is reversed! A bedside lamp actually turns your skin yellow. Definitely cannot do any reading in this cabin, except for the lower level which is well lit. Also, the lower trees should be trimmed as you cannot see the great view of the valley, as can be seen by the next door cabin. Still, the cabin is quite enjoyable and would stay again except missing what could be a great view.
