This vacation rental is huge with plenty of room for everyone and things to do at the end of the day We played ping pong, air hockey, and pool. The kitchen is fully equipped too. The views from the back porch are stunning. This was our third time we have stayed at this cabin and as usual, it does not disappoint. For those of you from Florida and other humid and hot climates, it is a great escape from the heat because the mornings were very n the upper 50's, low 60's, and afternoon highs in the upper 70's.

We loved our stay! The house is spacious and views wonderful. The game room and other amenities were perfect for our families. We ran into a couple of issues and property management was great-super responsive. The only criticism I have is the beds could use new sheets. The sheets and comforters were a bit old and musty. Also, if you like good coffee, bring your own coffee maker. Although the coffee maker is new the coffee comes out muddy. Overall, we would definitely stay again and recommend this house to anyone!

The house is great. VRBO lists it as 4 bedrooms. Unfortunately one of those bedrooms is a library with a pullout. There are 2 sets of bunk beds in an open space in the game area in the basement. Its great but just a little misleading. Love the house, I would absolutely recommend it.

The house was spacious, clean and had amazing views. We had 9 people and had plenty of room for everyone. The gameroom was so much fun and the balconies were the best place to sit and relax with a coffee. The location was perfect, and we all had a wonderful time on hikes and visiting Waynesville! We will plan to return next year!

Very nice home but interior was not clean, stove & microwave only worked at half power. Reported problem but no repairman came. Ping pong table & paddles were broken. Comforter was stained. Will not repeat stay at that price. Requested partial refund (cleaning fee) but no response. Very dissapointed in the home and the management company.Would appreciate response to my previous emails.

This is the second time we have stayed here and we loved it. It’s 2 families with kids ranging from 16-8 and everyone had something to do. On top of all the games the place already had we brought games and puzzles to play as well. They even had a separate table for us to build our puzzles on! The big kids loved climbing the “big” mountain while the little kids loved climbing the “mountain” next to the driveway. It’s a great vacation to be able spend time with your older kids because you don’t need to leave the house. We hope to be back next year and future years to come to continue to make memories with our kids.

Reviewer Comments:
My family of eight really enjoyed our stay. The cabin is very spacious and the location was gorgeous. No other cabins are right on top of you so you feel secluded with plenty of privacy though neighbors were not too far. The road to the cabin is steep in areas but all were paved and I found it easy to maneuver. The cabin really has everything you need- just bring your own blankets due to Covid. It was very clean but could use a couple of updates/ maintenance though. The legs were loose on several chairs but we tightened them- there was even basic tools available. We also had to tighten towel bars in the bathrooms. There’s a small sitting area/ fire pit at the bottom of the yard but we did not use it since the access to it is poor. Even the young ones had trouble getting down there. Despite these minor issues we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We even stayed in a couple of days just to enjoy the cabin. In fact we didn’t want to leave! We would definitely stay here again.

View was great. Kitchen well stocked except we did not find a blender. This app s really a 3 bedroom as the 4th bedroom sleeper sofa was not comfortable. Our friends went to Walmart and vbought a queen size air mattress. Also their must be neighbors who don’t like having a rental propert nearby as we got reported for having music too loud. We didn’t / never gave my music on. We will not sray there again because we never got an apology. That’s not to say the house and experience was bad, it’s that I can afford to stay elsewhere and our entire group felt disrespected

We stayed here because we wanted to go Snow tubing but it was closed due to the weather. But we had a great time in the house. There was so much to much. We played pool, played games, watched movies in the theater room. The house is huge and beautiful. I would definitely stay here again!

We loved staying at Dancing Wolfs Lodge. Beautiful views and comfortable living space. The movie theater in the basement was a huge plus with our kids, as was the large selection of movies on hand. The only thing "negative" was the drive into the driveway was very steep and hard to see over the top of the car as you drove down "into" the driveway. We used our 360-degree cameras on our car to navigate that one portion and were fine, but beware if you're faint of heart! There was one night the sky was so clear, you could lay in bed in the master bedroom and just watch the stars twinkling above. Wonderful quick weekend away for our family. Highly recommend.

Really enjoyed this cabin. Had about 13 of us comfortably stay here. Only downside is propane was out so we couldn't use the fireplace. So just make sure you call ahead to make sure its filled. They did compensate us though since they couldn't get it filled. Overall great cabin.

We stayed in this cabin for the week of 12/30-1/6/19. Unfortunately snow was scarce but rain was not so. Therefore we spent most nights in the cabin. But no worries if you stay here. We watched blue ray movies every night in their awesome movie theatre and when we were done, played a game of pool. This house had everything you could possibly need. Several closets had extra bedding and throw blankets which were great to use in the theatre. The kitchen was very spacious, the furniture was clean and modern, and the garage had plenty of room for two vehicles. Our Suburban easily fit with plenty of spare room. We would highly recommend this cabin. We have stayed in at least six cabins in this subdivision and this was my the ens favorite one.
