Downstairs was not clean, lots of dog hair. Front door broken, gas grill would not get hot enough to cook our burgers. But the mountains were amazing and the grandchildren had a blast.

Excellent cabin

This is a wonderful cabin. Downstairs was a little musty but we kept the dehumidifier running. I would stay here again.

Dead fly's on the dining room table, multiple light bulbs burned out through out the house, several mini blinds very difficult to open and close, windows that would not open, master bedroom bathroom door dragging on the floor.

Great weekend

The cabin was great and exactly as described. We have stayed in the area before many times and knew what to expect. The only problem was a couple of light bulbs out that needed to be changed. The service man came an changed the bulbs after we reported it. We would definitely chose this cabin again. The only thing that we wished it had was a hot tub, but everything else was great.

I am writing to formally express my extreme disappointment with the condition of the property during my recent stay. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the home was unfit for occupancy. The entire house reeked of mold and mildew, creating an environment that was not only unpleasant but also potentially hazardous to our health.The sofa beds were filthy, and the upstairs bathroom sink was completely clogged and unusable. In an effort to protect my family’s well-being, I was forced to purchase air mattresses so we would have a clean and safe place to sleep. I was assured that I could keep the air mattresses and submit my receipt for reimbursement, yet that refund was later denied without justification.No guest should ever have to endure conditions like these. The state of this rental was unacceptable, unsanitary, and far below even the most basic standards of hospitality. I strongly urge your company to take immediate action to address these issues and ensure no other guest has to experience what my family and I went through.

Wonderful Labor Day Weekend

The property was beautiful and peaceful - we even saw a few deer passing below from the deck! We spent a lot of time outside. Our family had a great time. We'd really like to come back when the rhododendron are in bloom! The only 2 complaints are that it was disappointing that it hadn't rained much and the creek was barely a trickle. The downstairs area was quite musty as well. Maybe the dehumidifier needs to be upgraded. Otherwise, the cabin was everything we could have hoped for! Thank you!

Our thoughts on this cabin.

The cabin was decorated perfectly (in the upstairs area ). It was tidy and welcoming. The loft was cozy and nice. The two upstairs bathrooms were clean. The master bedroom shower head didn’t work properly, a hose like stream of water was all it gave when showering, which was disappointing, otherwise the bathroom was nice. My main concern about this property and disappointment was the basement area. It smelled musty. The air quality wasn’t the best and I was disappointed to say the least. Cental air and heating with air purifiers would make all the difference in the world for that. Overall, we had a nice time at this cabin. All the everyday needs for cooking and entertaining were included.

Rental Near Blowing Rock

The house was much darker and stuffier than I had expected. It was clean and had plenty of plates, glasses, towels and extra sheets. I bought air fresheners for the basement hoping that would help. The landline and our cell phones had no coverage in the house. Plenty of parking.

Nice place great layout

Nice cabin, very roomy. It did need some “spring cleaning”. Lots of dust on fans and ceiling beams. Overall it was just fine for what we needed, just wish neighbors weren’t so close. We are used to staying at more private cabins.

The area was quiet and beautiful. The home was very spacious and roomy, however there were so many things to be desired. The basement was musty and damp, indicative of water damage, causing sinus problems for a family member. The plumbing seeps into the basement bathroom bathtub, there were spider webs everywhere. Light fixtures were dusty. I’m sure this place has been visited but it’s like no one has lived there in years. The furniture in the living room was dated and there was animal hair everywhere! Someone there before us had left clothing items, left utensils very dirty. Only one of us out of 9 had cellular service. Had to go down the mountain to make and/or receive calls. Overall, we made the most of the situation and enjoyed the attractions, the friendly people and just being together.

A little disappointed

The property is staged very well in the pictures. Overall clean. Beams were dusty and we found water damage in the basement bathroom. No AC, to my surprise. Was told “know one up here has any” then the 2 rentals next to us had AC. Lol smelt musty when we opened the door and had to bring fans with us to circulate the air. 3 of us in our party seemed to not feel well and get cold symptoms while staying there. While the property around was beautiful, sitting outside was not as expected. The decks, both front and back were full of dirt and cobwebs and in need of a good power washing. Our neighbors front porch was beautiful!! Overall we made lemonade from lemons and had a great time due to amazing friends!!

Quiet and Relaxing

The cabin was pretty much just like described in the listing. We loved the location and neighborhood. Took our dogs for walks several times each day and the road wasn't too busy. The cabin was spacious and perfect for our group (4). My mom slept upstairs, our son slept downstairs and we slept on the main level. The main level bed was pretty comfortable. Our son said the one downstairs was pretty bad. The cabin overall was well maintained but could use a good deep cleaning. There was a lot of dust on the light fixtures, top of refrigerator, and under the furniture. There were stains on the carpet but I think they had been cleaned because they didn't smell bad. Overall we enjoyed our stay at Rainbow's End and would definitely consider staying here again.
