Beautiful views. Steep driveway!

Good

The approach on the drive up is treacherous. Broken light fixtures and numerous burned out bulbs. Shower door in lower bathroom fell off the tracks even though noted as a problem in prior reviews. Outside deck in need of repair and paint.

We thoroughly enjoyed our extended stay at this cabin. We were there for over 3 weeks, combining some real down-time vacation with work days sandwiched in between. Overall we thought it was terrific. The cabin is at the top of a hill overlooking Watauga Lake and the views really are lovely. The cabin layout and feel is as it is shown and described and as we expected. We had our dogs and they loved the ability to run around outside. Other reviews have noted some areas for improvement like a bit of maintenance on the deck—those are accurate, though it didn’t bother us that much or prevent us from using the deck almost every day. For us the bigger issue was the connectivity. There is WiFi, but it is satellite and connections are unstable, and cell service is not reliable up there. On days when we were working, we went into a nearby town. If we had only been vacationing, that kind of remote disconnect would have been perfect, but if you are in need of things like video calls, it is more challenging. But overall we did enjoy it and are considering a return next summer. Sean was also responsive and helpful throughout.

Access to this property is very difficult. If we had driven a car, we would have had trouble getting it up the dirt road and would have bottomed out, the drive up is full of ruts from rain. We couldn't have other family come up to visit in their mini van, as we feared they would sustain damage. The deck of the house was filthy of cob webs, layers of dirt and pine needles. The lattice on the railing had some broken and/or missing pieces. We could not use the table and chairs on the deck, they were disgustingly dirty. One of the screen doors didn't close and had several holes in the screen. Interior, the living room was nice. The master bed/bath is extremely nice. Downstairs shower door fell off the track, we had to get it back on to use the shower. The refrigerator froze everything in it on the lowest temperature setting. Otherwise, the kitchen is nice, spacious and lots of room to work. Communication with the owner was very delayed and I had to request check-in info the day before our check-in date. We were very disappointed with this rental and will not be renting it again.

Great getaway in the mountains. Cabin was very clean, but a little more well loved than images showed. I tried working from the cabin a couple of days--wifi was slow for video calls and cell service was weak. But if you're looking for a getaway in the mountains, this is a fantastic place to call home for a week!

It was a beautiful home and we enjoyed our stay. We arrived at 4pm and could not get into the house. We finally received the code from the owner. When we got into the house the electricity was off. The owner got in touch with the electric company. We were going back down the hill to find a hotel. The electric company arrived and determined that the electric was turned off due to non-payment. The repairman called the company and the electric was turned back on. It was 9pm when we finally got into the house. The owner did REIMBURSE us for the first nights stay. It was a beautiful home!!! The owner did his best for us.

What a fantastic spot to relax and unwind. The cabin is well appointed with everyone we needed and more. The views are wonderful!! The driveway is steep if your not used to that kind of driving, but well worth it when you reach the property. The owner was responsive to my requests for help getting the direct TV working and the check-in and out processes were very easy. I would stay at this location again!!

We enjoyed the nature and the snow during our vacation. The view is spectacular, I love the rustic cabin but I think the person who is doing the cleaning is not doing the job right.

Communication with the host was very easy & reliable. The property is located up a very steep, narrow road & would be difficult without 4-wheel drive. The kitchen was very well appointed & we enjoyed the puzzles provided by the hosts. The cabin needs some maintenance, specifically on the front deck. There are portions that have fallen down, making it unsafe for pets & children. Overall we enjoyed a very relaxing stay in the mountains.

WOW! This cabin blew us away from the moment we walked on the deck to check out the amazing view of lake Watauga, to the giant cathedral wood ceilings and beams. We loved the kitchen where our aunt Jackie spent most of her time cooking great meals for our family. She thoroughly enjoyed all of the beautiful appliances that were in the gourmet kitchen. We had 7 guests in our party and wish it had one more bedroom but we let the young folks grab a couch which they didnt mind. Overall we had an amazing trip which we greatly needed as a family. We would recommend this cozy cabin to anyone wanting a secluded mountain getaway with amazing views! Thanks for sharing this cabin with us Sean!

Beautiful view, expectacular cabin and location. I will recommend it to my friends. Was an expectacular end of the year

This cabin was great for a weekend getaway. It's not touristy and it makes for a great place to relax.

We stayed a week. Left to see the colors but couldn’t wait to get back to cabin. Don’t have to leave. Scenery with the lake was outstanding. Will be back. Recommend highly.

Nice house overall with supercool kitchen A few things need attention (toilet runs, washer/dryer needs lint cleaning, soffit splitting. A/c window units and ceiling fans need major cleaning, road to property washed out due to storms and difficult to navigate) Cleaning crew came a day early and so we

Prepare to climb. Beautiful elevated home and location. Tremendous views. Thanks!!!

Was a wonderful stay. Very comfortable accommodations and beautiful surroundings. Lovely mountain and lake views. Driveway was steep and would suggest a 4wd. Enjoyed it very much Thank you!

The place was clean and just like it was described on line. Before we went Sean was very responsive. We had an issue with a broken board on the bridge that didn’t get fixed after being told someone was coming. We followed up a few times and never heard anything else. The atmosphere was gorgeous and is a lovely quiet area. We would still recommend this place!

Really nice cabin! Enjoyed the porch and kitchen. Was a short drive to boat ramps for kayaking and fishing. Had a great time.

The cabin was very nice and extremely comfortable. Exploring and hiking the surrounding area was a breathtaking experience.

Overall we had a great experience with the cabin!
