Great House!

We enjoyed our stay however, the listing didn't provide information about how steep the hills were and that it would be hard for some vehicles to get up the hill. The house was as listed plenty of space to lounge and fellowship.

Amazing views and space!!

We loved this place! The lodge was spacious, well stocked with everything we needed, and clean. The views were absolutely gorgeous. There were plenty of hiking trails around the area and a trip to the cute downtown was only a 20 min drive away. The owner was very nice and responded to all our messages promptly. Will most definitely plan to stay there again in the future.

Great Family Getaway

The house fit our group great. There was plenty for the teenagers and kids to do in the game rooms while the adults relaxed by the fire. It was beautiful inside and out and had all the amenities that we needed. The drive up was a tad long but the scenery and many deer made it worth it. We can't wait to book it again!

Great Weekend Getaway

5/5 Stars – Great Family Getaway! We had a fantastic weekend at this property! After reading some earlier reviews about cleanliness concerns, we were a bit cautious, but we found everything to be in good shape. The house was tidy, comfortable, and had all the essentials we needed for our stay. There were a few cobwebs outside, but given that it’s a house in the mountains, it felt like a natural part of the setting. It didn’t bother us at all. The outdoor area was lovely, and we enjoyed spending time on the deck and around the fire. The views are unmatched. All in all, we had a great time and would happily return. If you’re looking for a relaxing, family-friendly getaway in the mountains, this place is definitely worth considering!

Roomy Cabin in need of care

The cabin was nice, but we did have bug issues. There were also holes that were in bottom of back doors from rot. This is a wonderful cabin, but it is need of an update to structure and furniture. We had a great stay and made the best of our time there but were overall disappointed in the state of the cabin.

Perfect for a large group with kids

On a scale of 1-10 it was a 9.5! This home was nearly perfect! The only issues we had was with the dishwasher and the front door auto lock and remote control BR lights/fans. People in one room turned lights on and off in another room without knowing. Loved the bunk room! Loved the whole house!

Our stay

Beautiful home. We enjoyed our stay. We did have to buy dish towels and dish rags as there were none. There weren’t enough towels to accommodate our large party. There were some spider wens o. The outside and on some of the light fixtures, but the house was huge and reaching fhwm is almost impossible. The beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of dishes, silverware, pots, pans, etc. we really enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Easter Vacation 2023

My family decided on this beautiful blue ridge cabin as a family vacation for Easter. There were 8 adults and 5 kids. This property could not be more perfect. We did not have the best weather and loved enjoying all of the qualities of this house. Our kids ranging 1-9 were not bored for a single moment. Rooms were comfortable and clean. The view was absolutely remarkable! I would 100% stay here again and recommend it to other families. Also, very short distant to downtown activities! We would recommend “The Grumpy Old Man Brewery”.

Great, spacious, cozy and inviting cabin

We all had an amazing time in this cabin. This cabin is spacious yet cozy. The kitchen had everything we needed plus we too advantage of the Komodo grill that was conveniently located on the deck. Five couples were very comfortable in individual bedrooms that all had their own private bathroom and kids had a blast in the bunk room and game room. We all had fun roasting marshmallows at the fire pit outside. Victor was very easy to work with. Great time. Memories formed. Hope to come back soon.

Fantastic property!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cabin, despite the fact that it rained the entire time we were there! The beds are very comfortable, and there is plenty of room to spread out. We had six teenage boys, ages 13-16, who never got bored due to the ping pong table, fuse ball table, pool table and air hockey table! We watched the fireworks on the lake from the back deck. I would have given a five star rating, but the coffeepot wasn't working, nor was the griddle on the cooktop. Also, it would be nice if the living room had more comfy seating, maybe another couch... Overall, we would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this cabin!

Magnificent but...

The place was magnificent in size. Room for everyone, but it is in terrible disrepair. The beverage fridge, the coffee pot, the toaster, all broken. The ceiling fans are all on the same frequency, so when one room turns off the other two floors go on. This went on all week. One burner on the stove was out. There are spider webs inside and out, not cob webs, actual spider webs. Bugs everywhere. Garbage disposal doesn't work. The outside railing is dangerously rotted and lose. The footers around the porch are rotting. The exterior doors have huge rotted holes in them. There are makeshift repairs that are also rotting. The house is beautiful but in need of many safety and cleanliness repairs. Also note, you will need to bring your own tv service, the tv's are not smart tvs. Overall we had a wonderful time with our large family. The safety issues should definitely be addressed.

Just book it!

I normally don’t leave reviews but wanted to for this property. We were so anxious about booking this property because of past reviews. I spoke to the owner a few times and he assured me things were good. This house did not disappoint. I consider myself to be picky, especially when it comes to cleanliness. Sure there were some cobwebs, but I would expect that in a house this size. We stayed in, cooked in, and played games. The indoor fireplace was awesome. We loved the rocking chairs in the living room. Kids loved the three-four play rooms. The house is huge. Plenty of room for everyone. Beds are comfy. 2 washers and dryers. Extra fridge in garage. Wish we would have known about usage of garage, would have brought corn hole 😉. We hope to stay here again.

Great family vacation home

We stayed for a whole week with adults, kids and babies. The house was definitely big enough for all 15 of us. It isnt baby proof which we knew going up, so we just blocked the down stairs with a chair so the baby wouldnt accidentally fall down. The drive up directions from the host were amazing! Dont use GPS!! Cleanliness wise, there were a few things that didnt look like they were touched, but this is the woods, so if you bear in mind bugs and pollen are common, it was fine. We didnt plan on staying in the house all day, everyday anyways. Kitchen was super spacious with alot of utensils and pots. There is so much to do in town, but the drive down the mountain is about 15 minutes through gravel, winding mountain roads. So grab food and things in one trip in town! Also, in the summer weather, we didnt need 4x4 for the roads, but they are very steep. Winter might be a different story. We absolutely had a blast and will definitely be visiting again!

Renter Beware!!

This cabin is nice and has so much potential if owned by someone who cares. As previous reviewers in recent months have stated, this property needed cleaning. Upon arrival, my party found spiderwebs in nearly all interior doorways and stairwells that had to be cleaned by us. Even worse, there were mouse droppings throughout the kitchen. Upon notifying the owner of the issue, he said the cabin is in the woods and cobwebs can pop up overnight. He conveniently ignored the rodent issue. The next morning we asked him to call us as we found more mouse droppings on the kitchen counters along with a hole in an unopened bag of chips from a mouse chewing its way through. To make a long story short, he refused to call us for the duration of our stay even after numerous requests. After sending photos clearly showing the mouse droppings on the counters and the hole in the chip bag, he still refused to acknowledge a problem. He audaciously accused me of "trying to work the system for a discount" and insinuated that we might damage his property somehow because we were unhappy. The following night, a mouse came out from behind the fireplace in the living room while our party was sitting there. We took a video of the mouse and sent it to the owner who still refused to respond. We set out mouse traps and caught one of the mice. I sent photos of the mouse we caught to Victor. He never acknowledged the problem, called, or apologized for accusing me of lying. In short, renters BEWARE!!

It could had been nicer.

They're always a list of rules about renting. Well, the cabin wasn't cleaned. After being so frustrated of host not replying multiple times about some issues, I decided to keep all of my complaints until the end of my stay. Number one complaint, cabin was NOT cleaned. I asked for my cleaning fee be returned. It took him over 24 hours to reply to that, not surprised. but, his reply back was if I rent again in future he would give a discount. He was just not a very good host, cleaning was awful, heater wasn't working-he never replied to me about that-but at 10:37pm a knock on the door and it was AC guy....again, no notice to me whatsoever, which I thought was rude, happy he got heat working though. Dirty dishes in dishwasher, trash in down stairs restrooms/game room, my one year old nephew found 2 pills on floor in down stairs room, luckily we brought it to his mom before consuming it, I could go on. At this point I was quite upset and disappointed. The family regrouped, rather then losing all of our money, we stayed, we cleaned up, and made the best out go it. The cabin does have a beautiful view of the lake and mountains.

Terrible Experience

This is a large house with great views and space. The driveway to the house wasn't bad bad for us but if it had been raining it could have been an issue. If it snowed we could have gotten to the house in a 4x4 but we would not have been able to get back down the driveway in snow. The problem for us was the owner interaction, poor overall condition of the house and very specifically the plumbing. When we checked in dozens of dead lady bugs were in multiple rooms. It was easy to see the house hadn't been thoroughly or recently cleaned. On our second or third day the bottom floor bathtubs and toilets flooded with sewage. When we called the owner to report the issue the first thing he did was accuse our kids of throwing stuff in the toilet. He sent a plumber and said if it was our kids fault we would have to pay for the issue(fair but very rude first response). The plumber came and it turns out the main pipe from the house to the septic tank broke. The house reeked of sewage smell for the rest of our visit and we were unable to use the bottom floor game space or the two bedrooms on that level. We also couldn't use the washer or dryer. We couldn't use any bath tubs and could only take one shower at a time and we needed to wait for the water to drain into the soil under the house before taking a second shower. With 10 people that had traveled for our winter break we decided to power through the rest of the trip instead of go home. Dealing with the owner through this process was the absolute worst. Each time we called he acted like he had no idea who we were or why we were calling. He had no consideration for our experience and it was easy to tell he didn't really care about the house or us and it was a pure financial transaction for him. He refused to refund any of our money because we decided to stay the remainder our trip. We had no option with the size of our party to get another house. It was either cut our vacation short and go home or stay and deal with the stink and inconvenience. The owner never followed up after the initial plumber visit to say sorry, get our thoughts on the issue or to apologize for how rude he was in accusing us of causing the issue when in fact the plumbing was broke before we checked-in. There are too many nice homes in the area to risk having to deal with the owner and the poorly managed maintenance on this property.

Adventurous

We went with our family the week of Dec-27-Jan 1,2023. Ages ranged from 2 years old, teens twenties and late fifties. Unfortunately, the night before our arrival a mild snow storm had hit preventing vehicles from going up the mountain. So we were stuck at the bottom of the hill with our luggage and groceries. The cleaning people showed up the same day we did so that was also disappointing. Once we arrived we realized the property needed serious cleaning, counters were full of finger prints and other crusty items( it seemed it hasn’t been cleaned in a while). Because we had so many guests arriving, we decided to clean the entire place ourselves which included towels, all bedsheets, floors, the carpets needed a professional cleaning so we just wore socks or shoes. After we settled in the late in the second day we were able to let the kids play in the snow and have fun. The ping pong table they advertise was not there, not sure why, was not told. The pool table, poker table, chessboard and playroom were great for kids. However when it got cold we cold not use any of the tv to watch a movie or the ball drop on New Year’s nor project it because they were not smart tvs. We had a fantastic time with our family and made memories to remember. I’m giving it a 4 because the property is run down, cobwebs in and out of the home and railing are loose to the point it is a liability. Lastly, if a storm was eminent the company should have cleaned ahead of time. After the arrival on day two we did have 1 lady for a 5000 sq foot home attempt to clean. We felt bad for her and asked only to do floors and bathrooms because we had done everything else. The owner was very responsive and did help as much as he could since the weather was not within his control, however the lack of maintenance of the property is, as well as a dirty property considering we booked this March 2022. We Loved the memories but would not return.

Don't do it! Filthy, dirty, poorly maintained, rat and spider infested property, not as advertised!

Stayed in this property 11/20 through 11/27 for a family Thanksgiving vacation. Upon arrival we immediately noticed how dirty the outside was. The exterior of the house was covered in dirt and spiderwebs and the front porch had bird droppings in many areas. Upon entering we realized the inside was no different. It appeared the house had not been cleaned in quite a while. Dirt, leaves, food and crumbs were on all of the floors, spiderwebs in every corner and on every light fixture, trash left in the cans, gum on the floor, toothpaste splattered on bathroom mirrors, food smeared on the refrigerator and splattered on a wall in the kitchen. There were stains and spills on every hardwood floor, and the other rooms had very old and very stained shag carpet. The kitchen cabinets contained rat droppings, and we did not feel comfortable using the pots, pans and utensils. The fireplace still had ashes in it and burned marshmallows were in front, melted to the stone. The first night we discovered that most of the beds had no sheets, and none were available in the house. The one bedroom that had sheets had ones stained in what appeared to be fresh blood and mucous and had obviously not been washed. We had to purchase sheets for every bed. There were blown light bulbs in almost every room, and a couple of the toilet rooms had blown bulbs and could only be used in the dark. No replacement bulbs were available. Dirty dishes were left in the dishwasher and laundry was left in the washer & dryer. Spiderwebs and spiders could be seen in every corner, crevice, ceiling...all over. We killed many large spiders throughout the week and found them in our suitcases. Rats were active at night and could be heard running through the walls and ceilings. The porches were barely usable due to the dirt and bird droppings, and a few of the chairs were broken and left on the porches. The ping pong table was broken and laying in two pieces and was unusable, and the pool table was old and had torn bumpers and was barely usable. The grill was broken and contained burned charcoal. We were finally able to talk to the owner but he offered no solution and said "well I guess you won't be grilling" when we mentioned the grill and said we sound like a "broken record". He said he would have the cleaning crew call but that never happened. We never heard back from him at all and he ignored all texts. Great view, but that's all. Book something cleaner and enjoy your trip
