Great location for area hiking Safe neighborhood Qiet and secluded

Cabin was clean and as described. Great for our mens weekend getaway.

We had a great experience and loved the cabin.

We walked into a freezing house with no heat running, we were not told we would need wood to keep stove going to stay warm. Small wall heater does virtually nothing to keep the first floor warm. Our cost for wood was $180 over the 5 days to keep our family warm. Called rental company who told us to go to the gas station for wood. Loft bedroom had wall unit but did not keep us warm unless we got up during the night to keep the stove lit. This was not disclosed and we had our coats on until bedtime which was cold. Stove was very diffucult to light due to a vent issue, which filled the first floor with smoke until my son goggled it and learned he had to manually slide the broken vent which covered him with soot as the stove hasn't been maintained/cleaned but at least we had heat on the second day. We found a broken chair turned upside down in the living room, mouse droppings in the first floor tub, cobwebs on the lights over the table and in general dirty kitchen utensils. Thought they only had 3 cups until we opened the dishwasher and found it full, we had to empty that. Pots should be replaced, if you plan on cooking bring your own I'm glad we did, metal cowboy style dishes are rusty and should also be replaced, found set of dishes in a cabinet but they were filty so we stuck with paper plates. Fan in downstairs pool room was literally coated in dust and filth which we cleaned before the kids went to bed. Metal twin bed downstairs not only squeaks horribly when you move but the springs stick you in the back. My grandson put his mattress on the floor to sleep it was so bad. In general this is a really nice cabin that truly needs cleaning (which I blame Carolina Cabin Rentals for) and updating. As a retired Property Manager I would never allow one of my properties to be rented in this condition. My daughter in law owns a cleaning business and was shocked at the dirt we had to clean. Again per their "rental agreement, 1 towel per person (even cheap hotels give you 2) so we did laundry daily in a washing machine that you have to watch (per note on the wall) as it had issues. When I spoke to the rental company they referred me to my rental agreement instead of helping. Again, the owners need to be made aware that they're property isn't being maintained and cleaned properly. I'd like to say we're going back but would never again rent a property being maintained by Carolina Cabin Rentals.

We had a great experience and loved the cabin.

We enjoyed it.

Accomodating cabin with a creek! My boys are 8 & 10....a creek is always a must have! The cabin was the right size for thus trip with the grandparents. Lovely neighborhood. Convenient to everything we wanted to do....Mast General Store, Wilderness Alpine Coaster, Blowing Rock, GF winery, gold mining, Boone....bringing our 4 legged family along is always a plus! Thank you for sharing your home!

Our stay at Martin’s Nest was very enjoyable. The cabin was very clean and had plenty of towels and ample toiletries to start the vacation. There was soap for all bathroom sinks and travel sized shampoo with at least two rolls of toilet paper per bathroom; kitchen soap, sponge, and dishwasher detergent; and a set of towels per sleep occupancy. The creek and fire pit was a steep walk down a separate drive from the house, but directly below the cabin as described. We used the grill and enjoyed ample time on the porch. We’ve never stayed in Seven Devils while visiting the highlands area, and it was centrally located to all the areas of interest we had!

The cabin is set up for multiple families with lots of private space. Basement space with bunks is nice. We enjoyed the pool table! The cabin is lacking in some areas. While clean, there was a mice problem in the main floor bathroom. Mouse feces in the tub every morning...yuck! You could also hear them in the walls at night...also yuck! We ate in often and the kitchen is lacking in pots/pans and eating utensils. If you have a large group you won’t have enough forks to eat with. We had to purchase a skillet while there to cook in. This would be a very nice cabin if these issues are adddressed.

We had a wonderful time on our trip! We wanted to spend quality time with our family and dear friends amongst the great offerings of the outdoors! The weather was chilly at the beginning of our trip, but by mid week, the weather was perfect. The layout of our house was perfect for our group. The great room was very comfortable even though it took us a few tries to figure out the wall heater unit. We were able to light up a fire in the fireplace. The 3 bathrooms for our group worked out great- very convenient. The kids loved the game room & being able to just relax from the everyday daily school routine. We loved the house location- nice walks in the morning to sit by the lake. We probably would have preferred a house right on the lake, but we will see next time we visit. We wouldn’t mind staying here again.

Nice rustic feel cabin. Great location to tubing and ski mountains!

The code for the key lock was wrong. Never got a response upon inquiry. Mouse droppings in main shower. Great room TV was miniscule. Pool table old and shoddy. Kitchen was poorly stocked. Frying pans were ancient and unable to use with out food sticking and almost impossible to clean. Downstairs bunks were hard as rocks, with no top sheets. TV in main room was miniscule for such a large pretty room. There wasn't any hot water in sink on main level. Called regarding the heat. Nice lady tried to help but she was not familiar with that kind of heat, neither were we. BUT we figured it out. Where was the mentioned "Starter" pack? it must had had guest soaps for the bathrooms but we never saw it. We had to go & purchase more toilet paper & paper towels due to the fact there was not enough to last 5 days.Fireplace window hadn't been cleaned probable never and there was lots of ashes in fire box. We cleaned it out to use but left our ashes for the next guest. We noticed that other guests that signed the guest book had similar issues. Apparently the guests are the only ones that reads the guest book.We will not be back & will not recommend it to our friends on social media.

Our family of 11 stayed at Martins Nest Cabin for the long weekend of Feb 11th-14th. It was hard to find the cabin at night bc the GPS took us to the top end of the home, but the address did not match and at night with fog it was hard to locate.. I called NC cabin rentals & was on hold for over 10 minutes without a response until we finally had someone walk down to see if we were close to the cabin to park. The home had that cozy cabin feel and was spacious for all. We did feel many essential things a cabin should have were missing or needed to be updated. Luckily we travel often & have what is needed handy; however when you rent out a home fully furnished the essentials should be there. First the kitchen stove had a broken know so that side was not usable & was placed on top of the stove without a note that it was broken. No dish soap & hand soap in bathrooms, just dishwasher pods, but we clean & each as we go. Another thing was the toilet paper was only about a fourth left & no replacement rolls for 3 bathrooms & 11 people. Coffee pot was stained so it did not give that clean feel. Pots to cook were stained & not cleaned thoroughly, some were iron & were rusty as well as the dinnerware was chipped & rusty bc of the ceramic material it's made. The extra seats around the house to accommodate in the dinning table are antique so they are not very sturdy to sit on had to have the smaller people sit on the for dinner. The beds are very squeaky when you sit or lay & the little extra loft bed should not be considered for a person. Not even a toddler can sleep there, it's like a bench & very unstable. The metal bunkbed mattresses you can feel the bed poles & wooden board. Not comfortable at all for any size child or teen. The house overall is nice but definetely needs to be updated & get some more TLC. We have rented many homes for stays & expected more from what we saw in the pictures. If these suggestions were taken into consideration it would be great for others to enjoy their stress-free.

This is a great cabin to stay. Love that the drive way was going down but not a bad slope. We backed in with 4 wheel drive truck to make it easier to drive out. Cabin had plenty of room. The view was wonderful especially with all the snow.

Very beautiful and great location , 16 minutes from sugar mountain, we really enjoy it. The only thing was it was not clean inside , bed covers, sheets and pillows cases were dirty , the washer machine is difficult to use , and the hot water finishes very quickly. Other thank that i would recommend

The cabin is a delightful home, though soap and more than 3 rolls of toilet paper would have been helpful for 8 people. If there is snow, be warned that the road to the main road is very difficult to maneuver. My 4 wheel drive Honda Pilot could not make it and we also watched three other vehicles go into the same ditch. After this 1/2 day delay on one of our two ski days, we headed off to Beech Mountain, which (according to the listing) was 5.3 miles away. 100% FALSE!!! Beech Ski resort is 16 miles away and takes a little over 1/2 hour to reach. I did tell management they needed to change this information on the listing but I was told according to latitude and longitude, the information provided was accurate. NOT SO, unless of course, you have wings and can fly. When I book a ski home and it says 5.3 miles away, that's what I expect, not 13!

Very clean & spacious. Loved the location & the little natural area beside the cabin that was fun to hike & sled on. About 20 minutes from Sugar Mountain but an easy drive. Requires 4 wheel drive though

Great location and the pool table is a plus!

Martin nest is exactly as you can see in pictures, but bunk beds mattress are very bad, we were staying for 7 days, i feel very bad because my kids have to sleep in such uncomfortable beds for the entire week, the others room bed were not too bad. At check in, house was not clean, cleaning crew show up half an hour after 4 and clean with us in there, they did a good jib but they said the office should we advise us the house was not ready timely, house spaces are good and accommodated 3 families very wellKids have a good time, garbage information was confusing and despite few emails with the office was not until the last day we were awareness of garbage supposed to go to a dumpster near the house Lol, garbage management was stressful In general house is good, just have bad management Thank you
