It was good but did have some problems

We are a family of 7 adults. The accommodation fit us perfectly and was well equipped with the exception of towels for the hot tub. I was very happy that we were all able to sit on the couch comfortably at the same time AND the dining table had enough room for us all. The spacing was perfect! I will also say the management company was awesome and responded to my need in a timely manner. With the being said, the house was a bit neglected. The basement needs some serious attention as it was a bit dingy. When 3 20 years boys make that statement, you know it’s bad. I also had to do some cleaning, starting with having to empty the vacuum cleaner! Even though the kitchen was well equipped, I had to call the management company because the liner of a pan was peeling out. They did bring me new ones later in the day. Lastly the drive to the cabin will definitely require a 4x4 or all wheel drive. You definitely need to be an experienced driver to get there and miss the giant hole at the base of the driveway which needs to be repaired. Thank goodness days before my trip I called the management company to ask about the drive because my mini van would have never made it up the mountain. I ended up renting a car. As much as I loved the spacing of the cabin and the responsiveness of the management company, I do not think I would stay here again.

It was a great start

It was really great, we really enjoyed it. Hated that we couldn't play pool due to the sticks being broke, and couldn't use the polls hitting the walls. Plus the scrabble pieces were missing. Overall the cabin was great and we can't wait to go back.

Wonderful True Mountain Home

We just fell in love with this place! Everything was just perfect! The kitchen included way more spices and such then I expected. The living room was so cozy and was a great entertaining area. We loved the living room m sofa and the cute sitting area by the door. We took two young girls and 4 teenagers and everyone had they own area. Hot tub was nice and the view is truly spectacular. We enjoyed being about the only one on the mountain. It was very quiet and peaceful. We wished the pool table was a bit nicer and there isn’t satellite downstairs. But the teenagers survived just fine, they enjoyed the setup of the downstairs area and the many other activities down there.

Lazy Bear Comfort

The home was nice and cozy, most everything worked. We had a couple minor issues we reported but over all it was very nice. The property manager ensured if we needed anything they would be more than happy to assist us.

Disappointed

The first night we were at the cabin we discovered the DirectTV didn't work. Called manager, maintenence was quick to come check it out. He couldn't figure out the problem. Then someone called who said it worked just fine, but due to poor cell service the call dropped and we never heard back. Spoke with manager the next day, by then we had figured out how to get a few channels, although they were constantly buffering. Called back again 2 days later after hearing nothing and still no help. Wasn't a big deal during the day as we were out but in the evenings it would have been nice to be able to watch SOMETHING. Hot tub smelled bad and needed new cover, decided we didnt want to use it. Some of the lights didn't work. Enjoyed the views, would recommend 4 wheel drive to get to the property. The cabin was clean, and had lots of outdoor amenities.
