Great Cabin and Location

We had a wonderful time at Mountain Gem. Cabin is just as described in a beautiful location. Host was proactive with communication. Convenient to Cataloochee Valley and Waynesville, which we love. We would return without hesitation.

Peaceful retreat in a beautiful location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We wanted to find a quiet mountain cabin with a view and proximity to the Cataloochee side of GSMNP, and this place served our needs very well. Close enough to town and interstate, but seemingly far enough from civilization to allow us to unplug and rest.

Wonderful experience

The price/value of this cabin is great. Beds are comfortable, views are amazing. Easy driving access which is not be underrated. Geoff and John (owner/manager) are so great to work with, accommodating and helpful. Rental was very clean and hot tub was a nice extra. Kids enjoyed the air hockey and wifi worked great and appreciated the free long distance as cell service is bit spotty. We would recommend this a perfect for families.

Everything you want and MORE!

Yes, this cabin has all the wonderful things you are looking for in a cabin, but it also has ALL of the things one may not consider needing! Let's start with a flat driveway. This seems simple, but when passing other cabins with drive ways that went straight up or down you soon realize this is a luxury! The wrap around deck with the mountain views is perfect for sun or relaxing in the shade anytime of day. The cabin is spacious & very clean. The jacuzzi was a nice ending to a long day of exploring. John ,the leasing agent, already had the jacuzzi freshly filled and heated to temp upon our arrival. Last but not least I must mention the kitchen. It is well stocked with ALL of the things you may need. We were so excited to find the skewers for the fire pit. I had brought wire hangers to make our own, but we were covered thanks to the well-thought-out preparation of the owners Geoff and Laura. Overall this experience from booking our stay to checking out was a pleasure. This cabin is truly a "GeM"! We look forward to returning in the fall. Thank you Geoff & Laura for sharing your "Mountain GeM" with our family!

Horrible Experience

I did not stay at the property because the TV was not working..no signal. The furniture was soiled and not pleasant. The closets were full of junk and equipment for cleaning the house. I did not want to put my nice clothes in the closets. The home is outdated. Nevertheless, we did not stay. As soon as we got there, I called the local folks who stated they could not get someone out there to try to fix the TV. We had traveled a long way and were tired but did not unpack...we left and stayed at a hotel in Asheville which was clean and everything worked. The avantstay person I spoke with was not empathetic. He stated I would not get a refund for the reasons I had stated. I am sorry but if the TV does not work, the furniture soiled and closets full of junk where you could not put your nice clothes that is not acceptable to me.

Nice stay

We enjoyed our stay, beds were comfortable. House was very clean. Water pressure was great. Hot tub was awesome. Management of property was very responsive by text. A suggestion would be to get a window unit for the upstairs bedroom as we had to keep the downstairs uncomfortably cold to cool down the upstairs. Also we requested a remote control for the upstairs loft TV and it was dropped off the next morning, but we had to spend 45 minutes of our vacation time trying to connect it as it was kinda complicated for the old TV. It would have been nice if it would have been done for us is all. Thank you for opening your home.

Great property, well maintained and clean. Newer dishwasher would be a plus, and better kitchen pots, pans and knives would be a plus, but over all a great stay. Would definitely return.

Roomy and relaxing

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The road leading to the house has many potholes for the first quarter drive up the hill. So, beware if driving a car up the road after dark. Obviously, this is not the owners fault. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay.

A true Mountain Gem!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a lovely, quiet mountain home at the top of a very high, long paved road, with a gorgeous mountain view! The home is well equipped with all the comforts needed, and a great hot tub, fireplace and fire pit. The night skies are so starry! It is central to all of the fun things that WNC has to offer- Maggie Valley (the cutest mountain town), Cherokee- to see elk and turkeys- Bryson City for a train ride, and Ashville for dinner and a few cold ones. And also some of the best hiking imaginable. Go climb Rockwater Knob for a nice, somewhat challenging hike, and some absolutely incredible views at the peak! Can't wait to come back to this Gem!

Getting to and from property was very difficult. Gravel road one way. Other than that okay time

Roaches in the kitchen, air was not working, no soap in bathrooms., only 2 trash bags and they offered a fire pit but no wood.

Great Service, Property and Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Thank you for a great experience. I brought up a suburban with a 20ft trailer that had on the motorcycles. If you travel past the property there is a turn around. the driveway is level. The road approaching is paved and curvy, a ton of fun on the motorcycles. The road past the property is a proper winding dirt road. The property is a good location relative to the tail of the dragon maggie valley and Waynesville. The property has a wonderful hot tub and is well maintained. BTW Wow what quick responses! Great experience
