Beautiful view
The cabin was very cute and lay out was excellent. The dishwasher was still full when we arrived and the door lock didnt work at first to get in. Customer service helped right away though. Neither fireplace worked and it was chilly downstairs but the hot tub was nice and warm!

Winter Weekend Away
When we arrived at the cabin it was evident that the housekeeping team had hardly been through to clean from the previous guests. We found trash around the property, and a dead mouse and its droppings in the cabinets. The downstairs shower stall hand lime green spots on the wall with the paint peeling, clear indicators of mold and moisture damage. Additionally, one of the key amenities being a fireplace on both floors one would expect them to work. Neither was operating beyond the pilot light. Finally, when we tried to address the heating issues on the lower floor we were told that it was because we had a bedroom door closed. There is no way that could account for a 10 degree difference even when the door was open. All in all the house was a disaster and exposed my family to dead animals and droppings, mold, and below adequate temperatures during a snow storm. I would never recommend that anyone stay at this property until significant work is done.

No kids get away
The house is huge! Could sleep 14 easily. Views are beautiful. Roads would be scary if there were ice. Kitchen was fully equipped hot tub was nice and relaxing loved the fire pit. Our husbands loved the pool table. Pillows were amazing mattress was nice in king room just a little on the firm side. Bathroom in king was tight and the shower head was like a pressure washer nozzle felt good on my back but not so much on the face. Could use new furniture upstairs. Could use a little updating but over all it was nice. We would definitely rent here again. I gave one star on communication but that’s just because we didn’t have to contact for anything.

BED BUGS
Arriving was fine & cabin seemed nice until we noticed how disgusting the cabin was. We found trash (Cheetos, dust, dirt, etc.) underneath the dresser, the pantry floor was filthy, overall just not tidy at all. Turned on the gas fireplace downstairs for it to reek of gas because it is not ventilated probably, we could not leave it on for any period of time because we all felt nauseous over the smell of gas. & on the last day the power company came, asked if we were the owners then proceeded to tell us the power was being shut off not not paying the bill. To top the whole stay off we came home with bed bugs. My step mother is so eaten up by them she had to go to the doctor to get on steroids. I have contacted the Carolina cabin rental place exactly a week from today with NO response. I DO NOT RECCOMEND.

Quaint cabin
Pros: clean, great management, appropriately priced, easy check-in, homey. Cons: very long, sloped driveway that wasn't cleared sufficiently making 4 wheel drive an absolute necessity (we had been warned, but still a bit of a nuisance); walkway from driveway was covered with piled up snow so difficult to navigate, especially when unloading/ loading vehicles. Other reviews indicated the basement was cold - it was frigid! Had the wonderful guy from the management company not provided us with space heaters, I don't think even the teens would have slept down there (we called and asked for a heater and the guy, I feel so bad that I can't remember his name, showed up with 2, set them up for us, and checked other things in the cabin to ensure we were satisfied - great service!! The owners desperately need to provide step-by-step instructions for the tvs (especially upstairs where there are 3 remotes) and for the hot tub. All- in- all we enjoyed our stay though, just keep some of these cons in mind when booking

Great escape from every day life
Property was as advertised. View is truly magnificent. We went right after snow storm and let me tell you, property management telling you 4*4/awd needed, and it sure does. Snow was clean on driveway but there is still plenty of ice left to get from house to main road was somewhat challenging. But as I said we went right after snow storm, and it make that trip even better, just by looking thru the window on mountains and trees covered in snow. As well as property in about middle between Sugar and Beech mountain ski resorts.

Christmas vacation in the mountains.
We enjoyed staying at this cabin. It was clean and comfortable. We skied at Beech Mountain and the drive there was only about 15-20 minutes. The cabin is in a great location with easy access to Banner Elk restaurants and stores. There is a Food Lion a couple of miles from the cabin too. There were 10 of us, 6 adults and 4 children, so the bunk room was perfect for the kids and the 3 couples had their own bedrooms. The basement was a great area for the kids. The cabin has great internet which is always a plus. I did have to contact management because the directions to unlock and lock the door were not correct. They were very nice and sent maintenance to the cabin so it all worked out. The kitchen is fully stocked and we had no trouble cooking a large Christmas dinner. The kitchen is a galley kitchen and kind of narrow but we made it work. The dining room table seats 6 but there were a couple of extra chairs, a stool and an ottoman so we were able to fit all of 10 of us at the table. The views from the cabin are gorgeous. It is very quiet and secluded. The cabin is high up in the mountains and we were thankful that we did not have snow while we were there as the roads were curvy and steep.
