Wonderful mini vacation

This property was wonderful for our mini vacation close to West Jefferson. It was a very clean house. With a well stocked kitchen. The back porch was great for relaxing and watching the Deer that came out in the yard and the hummingbird’s feeders.

Perfect getaway from everyday life!

This was the perfect getaway for a family of 5. Plenty of sleeping areas and bathrooms to accommodate everyone. The pond out back was nice for the kids to be able to fish during down time and still be able to watch them from the deck. All the fun things was within an hour drive to do and the mountain scenery made it a great drive everytime. We highly recommend renting this this cabin unless it’s on days we plan to return!

Basinger stay

This cabin was wonderful so clean and well stocked. The hot tub was the icing on the cake. We had space for our entire family of 8. And the fur babys. The only thing I would change is fence around the house so we could let the dogs out to run. Besides that this place is perfect. Thank you for letting us celebrate my husbands birthday here loves it.

Decent stay with no view though! Too noisy inside

The house by itself was in a beautiful location. But, it had no views of the lake or anything from the actual living room. It only had a view of the lake from the bedroom downstairs. The upstairs mattress is like sleeping on a rock. The couches still had some dog hair and we got itchy sitting on it. And it was very noisy, cos it was all barn doors. No privacy in any of the bedrooms except the basement. Overall it's a 3/10

Lovely Cabin

Everything was lovely here. We saw wildlife just about everyday we were there. So close to town for a bite to eat, groceries or just to shop. Also close to the parkway to drive for the day. Would definitely book again!

Nice trip to the mountains

We had a very nice stay. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking in. The gated community is nice but not very private. The main bedroom upstairs needs more blinds. Two of the four windows are not covered and sleeping in past sunrise is tough. Plenty of room for all. We enjoyed our stay. Would rent again.

Birthday weekend getaway with family.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was easy to find with the directions provided. The cabin was in a nice, secluded, and gated community. However, I was disappointed upon arrival that the cabin had not been cleaned before we got there. The property management company/manager apologized for their mistake due to a new systems change and was quick to respond. I was told they would compensate me for the house keeping fee. Donna was sent out to help clean the place for us as best as she could with the supplies that were on hand since the owner's closet didn't really have anything for her. Luckily she brought a few of her own cleaning items. She was nice to leave us with a few trash bags, paper towels, laundry detergent, and take the trash that was left behind by previous renters. The hot tub does take a bit of time to heat up and will drop its temperature if you're not in it and leave the lid off so make sure to keep the lid on if not in use. I'm not sure the last time the hot tub was cleaned because it had a really strong water/mold smell but we made the best of it. The cabin has everything you need for cooking and grilling if you choose to stay in and prepare your own meals. The inside of the house is really dark in some areas, especially in the downstairs area in the kids' play area. The bathrooms could have better lighting too because there was barely any light coming into the showers. The faucets and showers take a few minutes to heat up but the water does stay hot once you get it to a temperature of your liking. The bed downstairs wasn't exactly in the best shape as the legs on the bed were slanting and looked like they might give out soon. There is a pond located within walking distance from the cabin where we had a few great catches. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and made a new friend, Donna!

Wonderful cabin!

This property far exceeded expectations. We had a wonderful stay. It was just my spouse and I, with a brief visit by our daughter (App State student). However there would have been plenty of room for several friends or family members here. The photos do not do this cabin justice. It was inviting, comfortable and peaceful. The secure community is quiet and truly lovely. We will definitely stay here again.

Beautiful spot but notable privacy issues

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house and grounds are beautiful and even nicer than the pictures. The house was clean and there was a good amount of space for our family. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay. However, that being said, our family would not stay there again. On our first afternoon, our family used the hot tub. The hot tub has an extraordinarily heavy cover that requires two people to put on and take off. While we were in the hot tub, we were disturbed to notice a drone flying nearby and joked that it was spying on us. After getting out of the hot tub, we got ready for dinner. I could not get the hot tub cover back on by myself and by the time my husband had a minute to help me it had slipped my mind and we headed to dinner. About an hour into dinner, we received a call from the owner saying that she “had been driving by” and noticed that the cover was off the (outdoor) hot tub. So the owner let herself into the house (again, hot tub is completely accessible outside without any need to enter the cabin). Our dog was excited to greet her and kept running outside so she closed our dog into the bathroom and called to tell us that she was in there. Our dog is exceptionally friendly and wants to be where people are, but I wonder what would have happened if it was someone else’s dog and she ran off when the owner let herself in without alerting us first. This invasion of our privacy over a hot tub cover left a very bad impression and made me feel uncomfortable for the duration of our stay. So, despite being a well furnished rental in a nice area, I cannot recommend it.

Mountain House Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at this mountain house. Pros, we each had our own bedroom and bathroom. Kitchen was nice. We enjoyed the deck and hot tub. There were TV's in each room if you wanted to get away from everyone. I wasn't sure how we'd like the gated community but actually it was nice because there wasn't a lot of traffic in the neighborhood. We took a kayak and enjoyed paddling around in the pond. We saw deer and a fat ground hog that lives in the backyard. Cons: The view from the deck is blocked by a tree behind the hot tub. We had to move chairs to the other side of the deck to get the mountain view. The bed upstairs squeaks loudly and the mattress wasn't comfortable. Two suggestions: make the bed on the main level a king size instead of a queen and put a gate on the part of the deck that goes around to the front. This would keep pets and kids on the deck safely. Over all we really enjoyed our stay and would rent it again.
