The house is nice. Convenient to attractions. Rather dusty and needs a refresh with furnishings.

This stay was amazing. Everything we needed was available and working. Everything was clean and neat. The quaint, rustic cabin offered the perfect vibes for our winter stay. Would rent again in a heartbeat!

Even though the decor seemed to be 'early flea market', it added charm to an older cabin originally built for the terry family. Being set back from the road and in the trees helped it stay cool & quiet. Especially enjoyed the upgraded bathroom and kitchen. Also impressed with the extras provided: fast wifi, quality toiletries, the britta water pitcher, smart tv, laundry soap, and plenty of nice towels. Even a nice nature trail nearby. A pleasant place to spend our vacation.

Nice older home with comfortable space.

The beds were hard as a rock and we woke up with bruises. The dryer is loud and overheats and takes way too long to dry things. There was dust and spiderwebs everywhere which made it hard for my asthmatic partner to breathe. THERE WAS A DEAD MOUSE IN THE LARGE BEDROOM CLOSET. One of us fell backwards out of one of the indoor rocking chairs so hard that they blacked out. The kitchen also didn't come with any oil, spices, teabags, etc.
But the wooden paneling and the view is nice! We liked having a TV; not sure why there was one in the big bedroom. This place is probably haunted too. 3 stars.

The cabin was beautiful and equipped with everything we needed. The rope swing in the front yard was a very nice surprise for my two year old.

We loved staying here. Everything was perfect and we had everything we needed. It was clean, quiet, cozy, and very comfortable. It was close to everything that we wanted to see and do. We will definitely stay here again!!

Enjoyed our quick trip to the North Carolina mountains, and the stay at in Charlotte‘s cabin. It’s very quaint and perfect for the four of us. Thanks for sharing!

Small but sufficient hideaway. We enjoyed a long weekend. Went tubing in Canton. Bathroom is new and modern as well as kitchen. Old paneling sets a perfect rustic mood. We would return here

Great place to visit. Cottage was quaint and cozy. Very well equipped.

This cabin is in a secluded and wooded area right above the county road. (Far enough away for barely hearing any passing traffic.) It is certainly one of the older and original cabins at Lake Junaluska. We appreciated the updated bathroom and nice kitchen.
Backing out was a little tedious, but the beauty and restfulness of the cabin made it worth the navigating out.
4.4
Did not like that you could not shut bedroom doors and still have ac or heating. Parking was terrible, and the walkway to house was unsafe. Mouse traps on counter and next to fireplace was unforgivable
4.4
Technically, the cabin itself is as shown in the photos. It was clean upon arrival with relatively easy access to Maggie & Waynesville. Internet works, water pressure is passable if not exactly invigorating, etc.
The first negative impression that greets you is the *undisclosed* Ring camera...despite Vacasa/VRBO policy requiring cameras to be disclosed in a property description. It's just a little creepy because it's located such that it would be able hear conversations from the screened in porch if activated, but the guests would have no way of knowing the camera was active since you can't see the indicator from there. In the search that lead me to Charlotte's Cabin, we actively ignored properties that had cameras so would obviously have skipped this one had we known.
The outside photos and lake view are clearly old and taken in winter. Current summer reality is a view of nothing but leaves and trees. I'm not even sure you could see sky directly over the cabin. Which, I think, contributes considerably to the relative humidity in the cabin always being around 70%, no matter how long the A/C runs (more on that later). In turn, the cabin smells incredibly musty. A little pruning would not only improve the "feel" of the place, but probably reduce maintenance costs for the exterior as well.
The word that comes to mind most is "user unfriendly". Like I said in the beginning, it's technically not bad, but the place just ends up being a little disappointing overall.
For example, the security code for the door appears to be someone's full 10 digit phone number. So, you have to remember a full 10 digit number that has no meaning to you rather than the owner/management resetting the number to some portion of the guest's phone number, which both increases the property's security by constantly changing and is more convenient for the guest. But, to add insult to injury, they've disabled the lock's manual throw so the code has to be entered *every* *single* *time* you enter...hope you didn't bring a lot of luggage or groceries.
Same with the WiFi password. Instead of something resembling real words, it's clearly been created by a password generator...long, random combination of symbols, numbers, and infrequently used letters.
Then there's the HVAC I mentioned earlier. I actually resorted to downloading the manuals for the mini split and the 3rd party thermostat to see if I was doing something wrong. Nope, it just wasn't behaving as one would expect. Once it starts cooling, the system just runs nonstop until you manually turn it off...woke up with the room temp at 62 with a set point of 70. As a matter of fact, once it started cooling, it kept cooling even if you raised the set point above the current room temp.
The TV is literally just a big monitor on the wall. If you don't have one or more streaming service accounts with apps in the Samsung OS, you're limited to Samsung's version of PlutoTV. Even with Netflix/Prime/HBO/etc., it's nice to be able to view local programming (news/weather/info) while you're visiting. Even if the owner can't justify a basic TV package to go along with the internet and Ring subscriptions, TVFool predicts the location should be able to get a number of OTA channels for the one time cost of installing an antenna.
Even the linens make you say "why"? They were clean, fluffy, relatively new...nothing wrong with quality. But, there were exactly 4 towels/wash cloths/hand towels to match the limit of 4 guests, I guess. Not really a problem for us as a couple, but could be with a larger party. As it is, the SO has lots of hair so the hair needs its own towel and the body gets another one. Add in the high humidity that never lets the towels get completely dry after use. Same with bed linens...if there were backups in case of an accident of some sort, I didn't find them. ...

We liked being so close to Lake Junaluska where we could walk around the lake. This cabin has a nice screened in porch that is ideal during the rain. Met all our needs!

New smart tv in living room with high speed internet. Additional tv in back sun room perfect for kids and/or gaming.
Wonderful screened in porch adds additional living space.

Great for small families
This is a solid cabin and the owners have put a lot of thought into its function. Kitchen had everything we needed. All the doors close off the living room making it ideal for toddlers to stay contained. The porch is a great night time hang out spot. Took off a star because the listing said it had cable tv which it did not. If you don’t have a Netflix account or the like you won’t have cable. And my kids did have to stay on a slanted bed the first night. Maintenance came out quick and resolved our bed issue. The pool is accessible if you show your reservation so that was nice. The overgrowth outside could be maintained better. One nice thing was the small back laundry room with a futon. The kids set up the laptop for tv and hung out there for privacy. Over all we would stay here again and we found it a perfect spot at lake Junaluska for our family.
