Health hazard. Walked in and the entire house smelled very bad like rodent urine. The 2 couches were responsible for the odor. My husband removed the cushions and saw a mouse nest. Additionally, one window was missing the blind and the curtains on the doors to the deck did not completely cover them. There were cobwebs all over. The bottom of the shower curtain had black spots and mildew. The deck had not been swept and you could not sit outside as the chair cushions were wet. Also, one of the couch pillows had been left outside and was wet. The handle on the microwave was broken.
The location was decent and the house was cozy, although needed some upkeep. Our house is in the woods, so we aren't as squeamish as some would be, but we encountered at least one mouse running around, leaving droppings on beds, in the shower, etc. We were missing a top sheet on our bed - couldn't find another to use. When we stripped the bed, we saw mold on the mattress pad in several spots. Kerig was broken. Some missing curtains/blinds allowed neighbors to see in (we could see them!) The extras (toothbrushes, etc) were a nice touch. Surrounding pasture/cows were peaceful. No traffic noise. We did communicate with the rental company. It wouldn't take much to get the property "renter friendly" - but wasn't ready for renters quite yet.
Truly enjoyed my stay. There was a Christmas tree with lights, the view of the mountains were outstanding, and the house had everything needed. I plan to return in the near future.
Very cute cabin with a great view off of a sizable deck. Good for a small cabin. Plan on arriving in the daylight to be better able to find the cabin. Cabin is clean and comfortable with good wi-fi.
This home was well stocked with kitchen supplies, pillows and blankets. The king bed was comfortable and the view was amazing. It was mostly clean except for cob webs, but no bugs were noticed. No need for 4 wheel drive to get to home. I would stay here again.
Very clean! Well equipped kitchen and a great view. A little hard to find the first time, at night. But once we had it figured out, it was easy. Very convenient to Hiawassee, but felt totally out in the country.
My stay was amazing. I went for some self reflection. I had so many plans while I was Hiawasee. All the trails and waterfalls to explore. Once I saw the Amazingly Beautiful view and the cozy welcoming feeling. I didn't leave until checkout. Will definitely be one of my favorites.
Thank you!!
The house was great, everything you need within short drives of mountain and waterfall hiking trails. Would definitely recommend this as a place to stay if you are looking in this area.
The cabin was cute and peaceful. Had a little musty smell, but went away with some spray. We had snow while we was there and it was beautiful! We would love to stay here again.
We enjoyed our stay here. The property was quaint, but plenty spacious for me and my two kids. There was a slight smell of cats and a very friendly one that hangs around outside. Great porch although we werenât there often to enjoy it. Beds were very comfortable!
Absolutely spectacular view from the deck for the sunset over the mountains every night. Easy drive to mountains, NC and town. Cabin is comfortable with a nice layout. Could use a bit of TLC to make it perfect. We throughly enjoyed our trip.
It was a cute house inside. It was clean but some of the furniture smelled a little musty. The kitchen and bathroom was very well stocked with everything you would need. Enjoyed our stay.
the cabin is in a great location with the greatest view. it was close to place we wanted to go see. Hubby and I enjoyed so much. We would book this place again. it just the place we need.
We had a couple of serious issues when we checked in. Robby is the property manager and is FANTASTIC with responding quickly. All problems solved and rest of our stay was very nice. Many thanks to her! Unrelated to our initial issues, water pressure for shower is very poor and tub doesn't drain well, should be addressed by home owners.
Clean but stale smelling at first. Check in instructions were clear. Property as described. Owner answered quickly when we had a question. Location was quiet, remote and scenic. Rusty trucks nearby did not bother us.
We forgot 1 item when we left but the owner already had it ready to ship when we called about it.
My husband and I stayed here to celebrate our 10th anniversary. It was quiet, clean, and fully stocked with anything we might need. The gorgeous view had us staring out the windows non stop and spending evenings on the porch.
Considering bringing our kids with us next time!
This was the perfect cozy house for our weekend away. Itâs close to town, an easy driveway (not steep), and has fantastic views. We will definitely consider this property the next time we are in Hiawassee!
