We had a wonderful stay. The property was as described if not better. It was easy to access in our minivan. It was clean and stocked for our needs. There was a nice grill with propane as well as firewood. The cabin has a wonderful layout with beautiful view of the creek below. The waterfall and fire pit were absolutely spectacular. We enjoyed the sound of the water even as we slept. We loved the seclusion with access to so many waterfalls (including one in the back yard) and kayaking/swimming in the lake. The wifi worked well, yet we enjoyed being unplugged. A few things that might be helpful (although I hesitate to mention because we truly have no complaints and loved every moment). 1. It might be helpful to bring your own beach towels and a foot towel. All the linens are hotel white. We used our own beach towels for outdoor activities. 2. It really is secluded. We felt this was a wonderful asset, but it’s good to know that you need to stop for all supplies & gas ahead of your arrival. Also, don’t turn of your maps once you are within an hour of the cabin. We had no trouble finding it in the dark per the directions. 3. If you want to see local waterfalls with nearly no one around, pick up a copy of Kevin Adams’ book, Waterfalls of NC. I wish the cabin had more books/info on local trails, waterfall books, and swimming holes. Google doesn’t know everything. 4. I wish the basement had a bunk room so we could bring more family next time! It’s a magical place!!

It wasn’t that clean when we got there. The air conditioner didn’t work. We experienced a hostile situation with a poacher on property.

Would absolutely stay again. Beautiful beyond words.

Good times with family. The cabin is awesome. Beautiful location.

This cabin is exactly as described. Private. Beautiful creek with swing over it. Super clean. Everything was so wonderful.

My wife and I enjoyed the drive up to the cabin. We especially loved the Christmas tree farms that were nearby. The cabin itself was super spacious with huge closets and plenty of other storage. The kitchen has a huge granite top. It was pretty cold during our stay so we used the wood burning stove a lot! We loved looking out the large picturesque windows. After getting out of the hot tub we cozied up in front of the outdoor gas fire place. You can hear the waterfall and the breeze blowing through the trees. With blankets wrapped around us, we looked at each other, smiled and were finally able to truly relax. It’s been so hectic at home so this was exactly what we needed. We entered the address into Waze and it took us straight to it. The key is to not exit the app until you arrive. We plan on taking our kids with us next time! Our time there is now forever etched into our memories!

Our family visited during the Thanksgiving weekend and we all fell in love with this cabin. We loved the are and how we could relax away from everything. We recommend this cabin 100%. Great experience!

- Nice cabin in perfect location. - Countertops were a bit dirty and popcorn found on bathroom and hallway floor. - Oven still had cleaner in it. Noticed horrible smell and ruined food when first used. - Could not get outside fire place to work. Possible user error, but would be good to include direction in future. - Hot tube was great and easy to use. - Creek/waterfall out back was awesome and very relaxing. - Area/neighborhood great for exploring. Saw a bunch of deer. - Will rent again as its a good price for the space and location. - Could not figure out Dish Network TV, possible user error again, but directions in future may help. - Used cigarette and lighter found on back porch railing. - Water in master bath shower had odor to it. Smelled like lake water. - Beds very comfy. - Kitchen sink towels may need to be replaced, smelled very moldy when wet. - Upstairs smoke alarm kept beeping. Tried reseting and even "tested", stop for a bit, but eventually kept beeping again. - All issues mentioned above are minor in my book. Just wanted you to know so improvements can be made where needed. Thanks for the stay, Michael

A wonderful weekend away with the family.

We truly enjoyed our quick stay at this property. The location was beautiful and very peaceful. We loved the sound of the waterfall right outside and waking up and enjoying our coffee on the porch. We roasted marshmallows outside and took the kayak out on the lake. Our kids loved it! There was only one issue during our stay and that was the strong sulfur smell of the water. It wasn’t a big enough deal to us to report it to the property management since we were only there a short time and we had brought water with us. But the one time we did call to ask a question, they were very helpful! As others have mentioned, the property is far from stores etc so we made sure to shop for all of our groceries ahead of time so we wouldn’t have to make any trips out until it was time to go. We would definitely stay again and would love to stay longer next time!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The cabin is pretty remote, but that's what we were looking for. We loved everything about this property and the surrounding area. Everything was very clean, and the beds were comfortable. Our kids loved the jacuzzi, too. We also enjoyed kayaking in the community lake, and it was nice that a kayak was provided for us to use. I was a little concerned since the property manager said GPS is unreliable in the area. Although I printed the turn-by-turn directions that I was provided, I only used them as a backup. I relied primarily on GPS (Google). I set the destination well before there was no cell signal and had almost no issues arriving at the property. I say "almost" because I noticed that GPS took us to the incorrect property, but we only had to drive up about 1000 feet to find the right one.

Everything was great and maintenance staff was excellent in answering our needs the day we arrived. 5star.

First and foremost, print or screen print your own directions once the management office provides the full address. They provide turn-by-turn directions (based off of where you are coming from) from about a third of the way up the mountain. Ignore them as they will most likely be incorrect. It’s just safer to have your own directions because there is absolutely NO cell service on the mountain. I highly suggest preemptively looking up your own directions well before your arrival into town. Unless you are from there, your first time driving this particular mountain is nerv-racking! There are various ways up/down the mountain so plan your outings accordingly. If you will truly be in full vacation mode —hunkering down and going nowhere; wanting to be totally unplugged from the world, then your golden. Just make sure to bring a cooler and stop at the two predominant grocers, Walmart or Ingles, around neighboring towns before you get to Tuskegee. There won’t be another opportunity 30 miles out from the mountain, not including the 50 minute drive up. The cabin is beautiful but much smaller than anticipated. It has a wonderful creek out back that the kids are safe to play in. Mine even slid down the small falls. Build a fire for them while they play as they’ll be cold from the 60 degree (summer) water. If you are older, the walk down is quite steep. Wear non-slip shoes. Bring hot dogs and s’mores and make a day of it! If you are adventurous like us, and want to leave the cabin, then prepare yourself in the following ways… Make sure you plan and book your daily adventures (grocery shopping included) prior to leaving your own home. With almost an hour’s drive up or down the mountain, that’s 2 hours out of your day in driving alone, without cell service. In neighboring towns most cell service is spotty. Print directions from all the places you plan to visit ahead of time. Gas stations are scarce. There was one gas station consistently open on one of the roads up but if you don’t go that way… There are 3 (possibly more) ways up and down the mountain and some ways are significantly shorter. It pays to be prepared; better safe than sorry, etc., etc. Poor wifi puts a damper on things but if you’re prepared, it’s easy sailing. They provided a landline phone to help ease the lack of cell service. It took a couple of tries to get it to work and It only works on a clear day near the kitchen window. Hope this helps!

What more could you ask for? A secluded cabin on a property that features a waterfall, fire pit, hot tub, and a kayak you can launch from the community boat dock. The WiFi provides enough bandwidth to provide a way to text, call, and email people, but the kiddos will not be playing games or streaming movies. Instead they will get to play board games, make s'mores, flip a kayak, learn very quickly how to swim, go fishing, and hear hours of dad jokes.

The home was beyond perfect for my family of 4 weekend getaway. Very secluded, had everything we needed, and so much to do. We'll definitely be back! Thank you, Sarah! We hope to host you again!

We loved reconnecting with our family here in this beautiful location. There is no cell service, but there are tvs. This was perfect for our 3 boys to enjoy being in nature and having some much needed family time ; ) Management Response: ​​​​​​​Thank you for your feedback! We would be happy to host you again!

We stayed at this cabin for New Years and had the best time ever! The house is super private and away from it all, which is just what we needed to reconnect. The management company was on top of it with sending all of the information we needed and they even sent us a warning about the possible snow advisory on our last night. The home was spotless when we arrived. There were games, kayaks, firewood, and plenty to do with our friends. We would recommend this cabin to anyone and everyone!

A lot of listings talk about cell service being spotty but take this one seriously! That was fine with us as the break from them was welcomed. The house was clean and adequately equipped and we enjoyed our stay. I can't say enough about Sun Dog Vacation rentals though! The staff was great, even after hours!

Remote location in upscale home with all the amenities. Could not get the heat to work but we stayed late in the season so fireplace and fireplace were happily substituted.

We had a wonderful time enjoying the cabin. Fishing the nearby stream and creek was enjoyable. The waterfalls in the area were amazing.

Stayed 4 nights never left the house was just so peaceful and relaxing.

Very relaxing. We kept the bedroom door open at night to listen to the waterfall outside. It was an awesome stay!

The house was everything and more than the pictures depict! I loved how far up the mountain it was and perfectly tucked away by itself. We spent the whole five day trip outside—the waterfall was beautiful. The rental management was very helpful and responsive. Overall, a truly remarkable experience. Thank you so much for sharing your mountain home!
