I loved the entire trip . The cabin was small and quaint. Everyone was enjoying our stay there. We loved the back drop of the mountains from the back porch. It was absolutely amazing family time there. I look forward to going there again .

Beautiful home but getting there can be a challenge
We did not realize the road to the house was a one way only, very narrow road. Arriving at the house, it is impossible to turn into the driveway so you must back into a narrow driveway. There is only room for one vehicle. The house was well equipped with kitchen essentials. However, there are a list of rules that you must follow or end up being billed additional charges if not adhered to. If you leave anything in the refrigerator or freezer you will be billed $20, if you do not take your trash off you need to leave $5 per bag. Be sure to put all remotes back in their proper place and before you leave wash and dry all the towels and strip your bed before you leave. I paid a cleaning fee for the house AND the hot tub but had to still do laundry? I've stayed at many VRBO houses and have never been expected to do this! The narrow one-way road to get to it was deal breaker for me as well as the "rules", I won't go back.

I chose to celebrate my birthday in Waynesville with friends and my sister. Your cabin was very welcoming and comfortable. The location was very quiet even with other houses nearby. The beds were great. We all slept well after our days out exploring. Can't think of anything we needed that wasn't available.

We were Disappointed
The property states that it is 9 miles from the national park. This is only partially true. It is 9 miles away from one very small section of the park and over an hour away from every other part of the park. We did not realize when booking that this cabin was so far away from the main parts of the national park (Cades Cove, Laurel Falls, Etc) which was the only place we were interested in exploring on this stay. We did have a few issues with the cabin also. Including the list below.... -the blender works but leaks out the bottom horribly so when we attempted to make something in it over half of it poured out the bottom while it was running. -both of the stand up fans do not work and should just be thrown away so people don't think they could be used -the bathroom door in the loft does not latch. Overall the door latches in the bathrooms and bedrooms were very hard to use and once i got stuck in a room because i couldnt get it open -the remote for the living room tv would not work (we are very tech savy young adults and tried anything we could think of) it works for the power and the volume but not to change the channel only intermittently. This was a huge disappointment for us because that meant the only way our kids could watch tv was in the master bedroom in the loft. -we had to get behind the couch to get a toy car that rolled under and we highly recommend cleaning behind there because it was pretty gross. -the front right burner on the stove did not work (well the main inner part of it does not work only the skinny outer part works which deems it pretty useless) -on arrival we found numerous dishes that had been put away dirty and greasy so we had to wash them before they could be used. -the doors to the laundry don't like to stay shut. We have a very mobil 1 year old so they posed a big risk for pinching fingers. Overall we were pretty disappointed and we were so disappointed that we ended up checking out 2 days early because this property was not what we thought it would be and did not compare in cleanliness to prior rentals we had stayed in. It felt very lived in and dirty. It seemed like one thing after another was broken, didn't work right, was unsafe, or was dirty and as parents of two young kids it has been very exhausting.

Beautiful Home
The house was very beautiful and spacious. Plenty of room for four adults. The hot tub was a plus! Loved that there was a bucket of bird seed to put in the birdfeeder. I filled it up and had so many birds visit it, even a large woodpecker. Enjoyed sitting on the back deck looking at the mountains behind the home. Occasionally there was the smell of cow poop from the surrounding cow pastures but wasn't bad enough to ruin the view. The only issue I found was the unique spiral staircase. It was not made for a large person. Someone had to stand on the stairs and pass up or down our luggage. I would suggest maybe a pulley type system to raise and lower your bags over the landing to make getting your items up and downstairs easier. Everyone had a great time. The home was very close to Maggie Valley and maybe 30-35 minutes from the Casino. Overall, I would stay again.
