The cabin is cozy and offers decent views of the mountains through the trees. While Whittier does not have any shopping or restaurants, it's only a 10 minute drive to nearby Bryson City. When we arrived, the home had not been cleaned after the last guests checked out and the back door was open without a working latch or lock. We immediately left the home and notified Vacasa. They told me that someone from their "local staff" would be in touch. At 930PM when we still had not heard back from the "local staff", we decided to try to check into the cabin again. The home had been mostly cleaned, although we found long black hairs in the sheets of the beds upstairs. The latch and lock were still broken. For the entirety of our stay, we kept a heavy wooden rocking chair in front of the back door to keep it latched and offer some sort of protection. After reaching out to Vacasa 5x, they finally agreed to offer a refund for the cleaning fee. The home was cozy and beautiful! The management company, Vacasa, is one I will try to avoid for future bookings.

Beautiful cabin with beautiful view from the deck. Had so much fun.

Not to far from everything needed.

This is a beautiful cabin! It was a perfect space for our family of 5 and close to Smoky Mountain National Park. We very much enjoyed our stay and would stay again. Very clean, comfortable beds and furniture, cutely decorated! Highly recommend!

Everything it was perfect thank you

This was the first time we ever did something like this and we will definitely do it again

Was a good stay. The only issue is the dryer dosen't seem to work for some odd reason.

This property is good for the money. You can’t blame the Owners for what Vacasa failed them. When we arrived-the top floor main bed was not made. We had to find the linens on the dryer. There was a lot of debris and cigarette butts on the property-as well as a rotten rug on the downstairs landing. The coffee pot promised was cracked and the cabin needed a touch up clean-which Vacasa should have handled. However-besides that-the cabin was quaint- comfortable and close to everything! Be sure and bring your own plastic utensils and cleaning products. Otherwise a great property!

We enjoyed playing pool, cooking, sitting on the deck, building fires, hiking and exploring the land. The cabin was clean and everything was in working order. The owners did a great job of making you feel welcomed and cozy.

My husband and I celebrated our 26th anniversary at this cabin. The views are amazing! Vacasa was wonderful in helping with all the arrangements. It is such a rarity to actually get to speak to someone when you call for help in planning a vacation, but vacasa was helpful and polite! The cabin was very clean and welcoming! We will visit again!
