Had a wonderful stay here. Everything was as advertised, and we took full advantage of the hot tub and porch views! We also had a great hike on Max Patch Mountain. Be sure you're comfortable climbing a ladder to get to/from bed!
While the bed was very comfortable and the hot tub was worth the stay, we would not stay here again. There were a few surprises that added quite a bit of stress to our trip. Be aware that there is zero cell phone service at the cabin or within 15 miles of it. Not just bad, but actually none. I feel this should be clearly noted in the property description. Once in the cabin we were able to access the WiFi and connect through WiFi calling, but missed several important text and voicemails while at the cabin. Also, the bushes around the home have grown so tall and large you canât even access the steps at the front of the house. I feel this may be contributing to the next issue we encountered which is spiders. We have stayed in dozens of NC mountain cabins and never once had an issue with bugs or spiders. Throughout our stay we encountered several spiders and large black ants including a spider crawling on my husband while napping on the couch and one falling from the ceiling and landing on my book while reading in bed. The home also had a lot of cobwebs, particularly around the ceiling fans. Lastly, we were not able to find any trace of a carbon monoxide detector in the home despite having gas heaters. It is noted in the listing that it is unknown if there is a carbon monoxide detector but I figured that there would surely be one if there were gas appliances in the home. Luckily we did not need to use the heat so we just hoped for the best.
It was nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The only bad thing was the phone in the cabin did not work so we were not able to communicate with our family once we made it safe but besides that it was a very lovely trip
Property was not as advertised and we were pretty disappointed. Property in general was beautiful, a tad bit hard to get to up a mountain but views were nice. The cottage itself could really use some work. Cleanliness was not adequate, giant spider webs everywhere, years worth of dust hanging from the ceiling, black mold in the shower. There was not working lighter to light a fire, and no first aid kit. I would suggest improving these things and the overall cleanliness. I would also make the upstairs area more stable. You can see through the wood floor boards and as you walk on them they move making you feel as though you will fall right through. I would also make sure what you have advertised indeed is on property and works. There was no DVD player like advertised, and also advertised a phone line to be able to contact people due to no cell service. Which also was not working... Owners did give us some what of a refund after only staying 1 night out of 3-4 nights. Felt we deserved more given our cleaning fee was obviously not being put to proper use and the amount of gas and driving we had to do to get to the cabin.
This was our second trip to this amazing cabin.. we love it so much! Definitely a much needed disconnect from city life and perfcet place to celebrate our union
We greatly enjoyed our stay! The only advice I have for the property is to install some kind of light near the grill/hot tub. There are no lights on the side of the porch, and we had to use flashlights. I still recommend staying here! It was so peaceful and quiet.
My boyfriend and i loved this place! It was nice to check out from the stressful day to day activities. Growing up with no cell phones or internet, its nice to be in a place where its not available and really take the time to relax and enjoy nature and get grounded again.
Very quiet and peaceful. Feel that some improvements need to be made. Canât open doors or windows as there are no screens. All outside sitting is unusable due to mold. Kitchen is not sufficient for any great cooking short on pans cooking utensils and no microwave.
The property is lovely and so deep in the mountains that you are completely disconnected from the outside world (no phones and no internet) the hot tub is perfect. We did a lot of hiking and walked around the town of Hot Springs. It was exactly what we were looking forâŠ.quiet, relaxing, and connected to nature.
Great place to stay and wonderful area. The photos show the cabin when it was a bit newer, but the were no problems with the cabin. Listing says there is a microwave but there was not one there. The bushes in front of the porch need some serious trimming. There is no internet or Wi-Fi. Otherwise it was a wonderful vacation.
We were shocked at just how beautiful and cozy this cabin was! It was so nice to disconnect from the world and dissapear in the mountain for 3 days! The hotub wqs so nice and both the fire pit and fireplace were so nice! Will definitely be booking another stay here!
