We had a wonderful time here! The outside area was wonderful and it was well appointed. A few more cups for coffee, extra pillows would have been great, but we were comfortable.
Super clean and quiet location
Quite large hot tub leak and the steep stairs to the second floor could use some lighting⊠shower head has very low pressureâŠ
Just as advertised rental, check in /out times are not very agreeable with most schedulesâŠbut if you want a cabin way up in the mountains this place is for you!
Getting to the cabin was difficult but the location was worth it. Very secluded, private, quiet and relaxing. We ran Into some issues. The stairs were a bit steep and a little scary for one of the members we had with us but thankfully there was a 1st floor bedroom. The directions were a little bit confusing still and when we contacted the owner we heard from him at first right away but then didn't answer my last question until the next morning, other than that the man was awesome and accommodating. We are so appreciative to be able to stay in this cabin.
We went to RRG with friends for my wifeâs birthday. This property was super cool! One of the best cabins Iâve been at. Youâre really (emphasis on really) up in the mountain. If youâve read any reviews on the area/other cabins in general, an AWD car is honestly super helpful. I thought people were being dramatic. Our little old Mazda really struggled up the roads. But if youâre looking for a genuine cabin in the woods, minimal people around (enough that youâre not scared though), this is it. The only thing I would say is to bring your own pillows. The ones at the cabin were thiccc and hard - made for very uncomfy sleeping for all 4 of us. But a lot of fun! Really great communication! Highly suggest
Hickory Hilltop was such a cute place. We had a lovely time. The only recommendation for them would be to have better utensils and kitchenware. There were no hot pads, rubber spatulas or even mixing bowls for salad. The skillet was horrid so we ended up using the cast iron on the glasstop. That's not good for glasstop, but we had no other choice to cook our food. Hitting a few garage sales would be helpful to stock the kitchen better. The mattresses were really bad as well. Very hard and we could feel the springs. One bed upstairs was good, the other 2 left us hurting and hard to sleep. It's nice to get good rest on vacation, an upgrade on those features would do well.
Overall our stay was fabulous. The cabin is remote and in a beautiful location. We loved it! We would stay again!
Rent this cabin if you want something secluded, but yes, other cabins in area. For evenings it has a huge covered deck with a swing, a glider, and lots of chairs and tables. AND a hot tub to relax aching muscles. Turned air conditioning to 70 & it cools house even if 80F outside, maybe bring a fan to move air upstairs. Fit 4 adults & toddler comfortably with plenty of hot water available for all.
