We were switched to another property, Cloud 8, as the cabin we booked was sold. Bears tore up the outside garbage pails twice, the ceiling fan out on the porch was inoperable and there was no water in the cabin on our last night's stay. The only reason I gave a rating of 3 is because the cabin was beautiful and in a great spot. Checkout was a real hassle with no water and 6 kids. Will not book with this agent again.

Relaxing Getaway

The house was perfect for us to have a quiet relaxing weekend!! We were all able to work side by side in the large kitchen making all our meals. The beds were very comfortable, and the rooms were nicely decorated. I will stay here again!

Nice house but with some problems

This was a very good house in most ways however, the driveway is a big issue…we had to park at the bottom and carry everything up but we managed. unfortunately, the beds are not comfortable at all! The kitchen utensils are extremely lacking. The hot tub is DELIGHTFUL ! Good location and easy in and out GATED entrance with the exception of getting up the drive

Wonderful House and Experience

We approached the house via a gate and gravel drive through the woods that made it feel very secluded. The driveway was gravel and was pretty steep so you either had to have all wheel drive or consistent speed to get to the top. There is a flat spot located near the bottom of the driveway for vehicles that couldn't make it up. We never had to use that though. The house was clean with the exception of some dust on the headboard of the bed, etc. Nothing extreme though. Living room, dining room and kitchen are wide open, which was great with having toddlers. We enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub almost every night. It was very secluded and peaceful and we would definitely recommend. Nearest town was a short 10-15 minute drive. Bryson City was also close by. Property manager was incredible to deal with as they were very responsive, even after hours. Definitely enjoyed our stay and hated we had to leave!

Race weekend cabin

Nice cabin, good location, but driveway is steep and loose rock. We had 4×4 trucks, the one car had to park at bottom of driveway. Too steep for a car in wet conditions.

A great time for a cheap price

I had a little trouble opening the gate because I was given the wrong code but within 2 minutes of emailing the company about having trouble they gave me the right code. Besides for the 1 small inconvenience that was fixed almost immediately everything with the cabin was perfect and I had a great time with my friends and girlfriend. They also had a lot of firewood which was awesome because me and my friends love sitting at fires. I had a great time and would 100% go back.

Good but spartan

Comfy beds and furniture. Great appliances. Amazing water heater (seriously HOT water!). Management was communicative and helpful, but the property itself was spartan. We had a good time, but we felt some basic vacation rental touches were missing. For example, extra blankets (particularly in cold months) and a welcome note with WiFi & house details (what to do with trash, if there is recycling, if beds should be stripped, hot tub info...). We also suggest the owner conduct an inventory of the kitchen, as some new cooking utensils and matching dishware for 8-10 (the maximum occupancy of the house is 10, I believe?) would greatly improve the guest experience.

Nasty and disappointing. Don’t waste your time!

This property is located on a very steep one lane mountain road that has no guardrail. It is a direct drop off down the mountain so if you are not an experienced mountain driver, DO NOT come here. You will be terrified. We have a lot of experience and we’re still very nervous. There were no directions on how to get to this secluded cabin from the main road in Vrbo so we used Waze. We were navigated way beyond the actual cabin and ended up having to circle around the mountain multiple times in these dangerous conditions (in a suburban filled with children and my dog) until we found someone to ask. It ended up being much further back than our navigation took us. The driveway looked completely different than the picture in Vrbo. The bottom of the driveway had a for sale sign in it as well. After we got in, which was very easy, we noted that the carpet had stains all over it from previous renters’ pets that were not cleaned. We went to use the bathrooms and the smell of urine hit us at the door. The bottom edges of the toilets were stained yellow with urine and crusted. The toilet brush holder was filled with old nasty drippings from previous usage. It was disgusting and unacceptable. The carpet felt crunchy because of the pet stains that had been left to just petrify. It was absolutely foul. The beauty of the area is stunning, but the filth in this place is unacceptable. Cant believe I paid over $700 for 2 nights of PISS, faulty electricity, and bad internet.

Horrible Property

The property had over grown weeds, cigarette butts, and trash. The home itself was very dirty and rundown. There were cobwebs in the windows, a window that was broken in the up position with no screen so bugs were coming in. One of the kids went to unplug a lamp to plug in there phone and was shocked because it had a bad wire. The dining tables were cloth and everyone of them looked like someone had urinated on them. It took us 3 days to get the hot tub cleaned. It was just a horrible experience. I would not recommend this property to anyone.

Nice place. Driveway is a little hard to get up, but we did it in a minivan. The place had plenty of space and was private. We had a great time.

There for the Smoky mountain relay

The property was very nice. Pretty clean, the staff communicated with us well and we were able to find it pretty easily with the printed directions. The hot tub has seen better days. We have a very large and tall 12 seater van( Mercedes’ sprinter), parking it was hard and getting out was harder. So be prepared for a steep incline.

Unexpected visitors

After the first night, my friends husband realized he had been bitten by bedbugs. We immediately contacted the main office and they took care of us by moving us to a much nicer, more expensive cabin. The cloth headboards and carpet running throughout the house is not a good idea when you have multiple people staying at your place throughout the year. I do not blame the company for the bedbugs however it makes traveling much less appeasing when it happens.

Spring Break

Had a wonderful time! Did not expect the hot tub to work to be completely honest but was pleasantly surprised. Only problem we had was that there was no internet during our stay but we made the most of it and had an incredible time! Highly recommend.

Great little getaway spot

We were on an adult getaway with a total of 3 couples. We loved the location and privacy! The driveway is quite steep, and while our 4wd Yukon had no problems, one of the couple's had a FWD car that barely made it up. The property is exactly as described. The carpet was a little dirty, but otherwise, the cabin was spotless, and was nicely appointed. Overall, I think this is an amazing deal if you want some seclusion, and don't mind driving a bit to get back to civilization. We'll definitely stay here again.

Girls weekend trip

Overall it was a very nice stay. A couple of things like no trash can in bathroom, not enough wine glasses plates. Driveway on one sid very steep. Dining room chairs and carpeting is dirty. Most jets don’t t work in Jacuzzi Good things Are lots of firewood for the fire pit and the fireplace. Lots of beds and enough bathrooms to accommodate seven women. Very private and gated community. Overall was great

It was ok

When I was packing everything I looked under the bed to check if there was anything under there and there was a half eaten pice of bread. We did not have bread while we were there. The manager told us Friday that no one was there before us because I had to call them about the hot tub being nasty but over all it was ok but this place was just nasty. And some of the stuff was broken like our bed frame.
