"Pet fee is exorbitant - and is mentioned nowhere in the registration process. When I arrived to check in I was told it is $75 for 1-4 nights - and that is the basic fee even for 1 night. I would have booked elsewhere had I known about this fee."

"I love Mary Ida’s! It’s the best host are super friendly and quick to respond! Also they have the cleanest nicest VRBO I’ve stayed in!! Definitely will be back!!"

"We had an amazing time! The house and views were amazing we can’t wait to go back! The host were great and responded quickly to every question, and left thorough directions for checking and checking out and stuff around the area. 10 out of 10 experience."

"The views were incredible. The place was extremely clean and the kitchen was well stocked with every cooking utensil you need. Anyone looking for a quiet and comfortable setting, this is the place."

"We were in Old Fort for the night and this was a very comfortable and welcoming place to stay. The coffee, banana bread, and eggs were much appreciated!"

"Overall, the house was nice. It could use some upgrades, however. The upstairs bathroom toilet would get stuck when flushed. We took a few cold showers because the hot water would run out. The doors to the outside were difficult to open and lock. The house needs maintenance. "

"It was an excellent stay"

"Great communication from the get go! Kept in touch through text messages! Even asked if we wanted any Christmas decorations! (We went dec 21-24)Great Cabin for a multi generational family getaway. Teens could spend time downstairs w all the games while we adulted up stairs. Cooked 3 dinners, had everything we needed!!! We would bring foil, zip lock bags and more togo containers next trip! Had lots of blankets of all warmth through out the house, which was great! We had 2 dogs w us and the cabin was perfect for them. Little grassy area out front where they could play. Just a heads up, there is no typical charcoal/gas grill, it is a blackstone grill. Some may not be used to using that type. Also, it needs a good scrub! We just put foil down and cooked steaks on top of the tin foil. You will see some stink bugs, but if you've been in the woodsy area, you know thats extremely typical for a wood cabin. Highly recommend!!! Everyone from 8 yrs- 70 yrs loved it!"

"My family goes on vacation every year, and over the years we’ve stayed in countless condos, cabins, and motels. But this particular property truly was spectacular—it’s a 10 experience, hands down. The cabin is beautifully maintained, spotless, and cozy, with plenty of space for our family to relax and reconnect. It’s filled with so many wonderful qualities! If you’re visiting Asheville, Black Mountain, or Montreat in North Carolina, you simply must book this cabin. It will leave a lasting impression, just like it did for us. "
