Beautiful cabin home

This cabin view was so perfect. I love the lighted pathway to the house, the big windows in the cabin, the updated kitchen and the dining room area was a huge bonus. The hot tub was fantastic as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can't wait to go back .

Tree weekend

We loved the layout of the home along with the game room downstairs. The only drawback to the whole weekend was the limited number of towels and washcloths for our party of eight. Some of the bathrooms only had one washcloth for a two night stay. Plus the Murphy bed downstairs did not have any sheets available.

Spacious house for a larger group

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was great for our group of 5. We all had our own space and the mai living season were very adequate for a larger group. The kitchen was stocked ok, but we were missing a few items that would have been nice to have (lighter, larger mixing bowl). Cleanliness of the house could use some improvements. There were lots of areas it was appeared had not been cleaned. Floors were dirty, bathroom towels were not consistent with the beds, no trash bags in bathrooms and a huge amount of trash had been dumped down the mountain off the driveway.

Great Stay!

The cabin ideally suited the needs of our six member family, consisting of three couples. The three bedrooms with an additional Murphy bed in the basement, provided plenty of space. The separate dining room/bar was a frequently used space for gathering and playing board games. The arcade games in the basement were a big hit. We also enjoyed the wood-burning stove in the living room in light of the cold and snowy weather. Speaking of which, be sure to heed the warnings about being prepared for wintry weather if you’re staying during the winter months. This cabin is halfway up a mountain and the forecast for West Jefferson may not be entirely accurate for this location. We were expecting snow showers and ended up with 4 to 5 inches. However, the community does a good job of responding to wintry weather and clearing the roads. The driveway to the house coming off the road is a bit steep, so be prepared for that if wintry weather is expected. The cabin enjoys great views from the deck, including near and long range mountain views. Sunrises are spectacular. There were a few things in the kitchen that we missed such as measuring spoons and measuring cup, and we would’ve liked a few more towels and washcloths, but those are quibbles. Property management was extremely responsive and flexible, allowing us to check out a little late to allow more snow to melt off the roads before trying to depart. All in all, we were very pleased with the cabin and are likely to return.

Fantastic location and views. A few details overlooked.

House was in a great location and was furnished very nicely. Great game room. Views from the back deck were amazing. The handle to the freezer drawer was broken when we arrived but we fixed it. Dirty towels were piled up in one of the closets. Apparently one of the previous occupants had a party with confetti and plastic sequins as they were stuck in the carpet. All in all a positive experience.

Rustic cabin with a view

Rustic cabin in a nice forested mountain neighborhood. The deck has a great mountain view and it was lovely to see the early morning fog mixed throughout. The cabin was spacious and met our needs. The hot tub was recently serviced and it was enjoyed. The tree canopy above the fire pit was helpful for enjoying this area even in the rain. We could not get the igniter to work on the gas grill, but we did report this to the property management group for inspection/repair. There is an Ingles nearby and charming downtown West Jefferson is a short drive away. They have an interesting Saturday Farmer's Market there and be sure to visit the Honey Hole. We enjoyed our stay! Thanks!

Better then the pics displayed!

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: This place was better than we could have imagined. Breathtaking views. There was PLENTY of space for our family of 10 and the beds were comfortable and large. There were 3 tvs and a nice bar area. Check in was easy. The arcade was awesome- kids and husbands loved. They had a fire pit area, a small climbing dome for kids and a little creek that ran through the well secluded property. We stayed March 16-21, and it was around 20 degrees with snow flurries but the tubing places had all pretty much closed for season. We went to Linville caverns, waterfall park, wilderness run alpine coaster, and elk river falls- all about an hour away. Past reviews stated there was a pack n play for a small child, we didn’t see one.They did have a ball pit, a nugget couch, a high chair,a few extra warm clothes, a stroller and sleds downstairs. Make sure to read trash directions! As well as look over departure checklist the day before you leave. The cabin was well stocked with essentials with the exception of coffee. Would absolutely stay here again!

Everyone is their office is so helpful and friendly-best customer service ever! The property was beautiful and perfect for our family of 7. The location was close to downtown and the views from the house were gorgeous! The house was immaculate upon our arrival. We will definitely be back.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: El Cabitan was a wonderful place to stay! It felt secluded even though it wasn't too far from all the fun things West Jefferson has to offer. The home was clean and very spacious! We loved playing the games on the bottom level, enjoyed the hot tub and fires in the firepit outside. We had dinner out on the porch one night which was amazing!!! Great views! We will definitely be back to El Cabitan!
