clean, cozy cabin

Had an amazing time at the cabin. The last night it snowed so the kids had a blast playing in the snow. Very spacious and cozy with all the essentials to have great family time and create memories.

Family Getaway

The house was beautiful and clean. We loved using the jacuzzi during the cool summer nights. Hawksnest ski slopes were closed because it was summer, but we could see the slopes from the house. We would definitely stay here again.

Great views!

One of the beds a little smaller than expected (was a double), and we encountered some dirty dishes. But overall, it was a super location, super views, and super relaxing. Nothing like being in a hot tub and having your hair freeze! So nice!

Unpleasant Surprise

We arrived to hear this unusual sound coming from under the property. Also, to find mold stops in various places throughout the property. So, we ended up only staying 1 night and was relocated to a different property. We actually had to down grade in the place we stayed at. If it was not for these issues, I believe we would have enjoyed our week stay.

Unfortunate Experience

We've stayed in dozens of rentals over the years, and this is the first negative review we've given. The road up to the property was dangerous and not adequately described at all ("inclines and curves" is not sufficient). The road was very steep with numerous switchbacks and only wide enough for one vehicle in some places. It is not safe if there is bad weather even with an AWD vehicle. We have 30 years of experience driving at ski resorts all over the country and this is the worst road for winter we have seen. When there was a forecast for snow we had to leave after one night, cutting our 3-night stay short. It would have been nice if they would have worked with us to reduce the price even a little based on the circumstances. We'd highly recommend any renters to not visit during the winter unless they drive a monster truck with full out snow chains and maybe a winch, if needed. The property description should greatly be updated to not put unsuspecting renters into a bind of having to cancel a trip and losing a lot of money. We understand weather happens and given our AWD vehicle and winter driving experience, felt like we'd be fine, but that was not the case due to the false property description. We would not recommend this property during winter months or honestly, in general, due to the negative experience and response we received in dealing with the property manager.

Mountain Oasis

The property is absolutely clean and stylish. It is exactly the same as shown in the pictures. I definitely recommend, as I feel so lucky to have found this little mountain treasure in the beautiful town of Seven Devils, NC.
