Watch out for the hill
The home was wonderful for our son's wedding. Incredible views. The road to the house is extremely windy, and the driveway is treacherous. Do not plan on walking up the driveway either. I'd hesitate to visit in wet, leafy, or certainly snowy weather. Very very steep. Other than that, wonderful.

Beautiful home with a gorgeous view. The only negative we have to say is the driveway...once you are used to it, its not bad but the initial drive up was very hard even with 4wd. Other than that the house was very clean, well stocked with toiletries & plenty of room for everyone!

Literally all amenities didn't work
The master bedroom door was standing open when we arrived, when going through the house to be sure there wasnt an intruder, the door and frame to the closet falls off, then we go to use the hot tub, it doesn't work. Then we try the sauna, nope, it doesn't work. Then we go to bed, the TV in the master doesn't work. The house was nasty. Hair clouds all over, dust all over, a toenail on my bed side table. Very unhappy. Hoping to be refunded because this is awful.

Steep Hill
The place was very clean lot's of space. The home came with Board games, fool's ball amd ping pong table, tv's in main spaces not bedrooms, books to read, fire pit, grill, sauna, jacuzzi, washing machine, dryer, dish washer. The only problem was that dam steep hill!! Be forewarned it's super dark and no lights once you get into the are of the house. One of our cars couldn't make it up the hill at all. The other made it half way, but this was during the night where we couldn't see. Had to drive up backwards. Other than that the place is very very nice!!

Absolutely loved the cabin and the amenities offered. The privacy for our three couples was great but had awesome fun in the common areas. We grilled, enjoyed the balcony and fire pit. We would suggest a Keurig and new mattress for the king bed. Everything else was top-notch! Would definitely refer and may very well be back!

Great stay
House was beautiful, loved the sauna and hot tub. We were extremely comfortable, and there was everything we needed there. I only wish the check in process had been clearer, I did have to write several times to figure it out. Also, other reviews have mentioned the driveway - we thought our SUV would make it up, but we couldn't get all the way up. It was fine, we could walk, but just keep it in mind!

We had a wonderful time enjoying the beautiful waterfalls and relaxing in the very comfortable and roomy "Altitude with Attitude" mountain home! The beds were comfortable, and kitchen was well stocked with essential cooking items. the check-in process and check-out process was simple. Lovely towns of Sylva and Dillsboro were perfect - got nails down and hiked and played games. A Great place for us - thank you for your hospitality.

Mostly Great, but Needs a Little Upkeep
This property was mostly great. The views are spectacular and the layout and accommodations are fantastic. The surrounding area is really lovely with a lot of interesting options for day trips. There were a few important things that could use some work or were disappointing:
- The grill did not work. This was actually a pretty big bummer as we spend a ton of time fixing a big 40th birthday dinner of burgers, kabobs etc., had it all ready to go, and then found that the grill was broken. We then spent a few hours trying to get it to work- switching out propane tanks. When I called the customer service line the gal was nice but ultimately just took note of it and didn't offer any kind of fix.
- That brings me to the next item that was a bit off. The kitchen stove was awful to cook on. The temp control on the burners is rubbed off so it's a bit of a guess what level the burners are on. There is no hood so trying to cook the burgers on the skillet was an oil nightmare.There are not enough glasses for each person to have one at a time. I'm sure they get broken over time, so this is more a note that it's likely time to replace some.
- The hot tub is also likely ready for a flush and refill. It smelled like seaweed/kelp.
All of that is to say that if the above were fixed I would 100% rebook. This place is truly great but if you arrive and plan to use some of the accomodations that you are relying on (like the grill) check as soon as you arrive to make sure there is time to fix.

We enjoyed our stay at Altitude with Attitude. House was clean, overall. I just wish windows, fans and under couches were a concern to homeowners. Looking out the windows at that beautiful view would be so much better if dirt wasn’t all in the corners of the windows. Good amenities, good space, great view!

Beautiful scenery. Morning & night what a spectacular view.
The lodge was awesome! Plenty of room for everyone. Only problem was the driveway. We expected narrow one lane winding roads but getting up hill to park was a challenge. We were a group of seniors & the stairs to the basement & upstairs were tricky. (Only due to our age) i highly recommend this lodge to the tounger generation. The beds were extremely comfortable. Cant mention enough about the Mountain views.

The driveway was an adventure, steep but you've just gotta commit and go for it!! All wheel drive vehicles did best but front wheel drive did fine. Everyone in the group absolutely loved the house and talked about going back!! The porch was the best for spending time together and enjoying the view. Plenty of room for a large group not to feel cramped.

My 10th anniversary completely ruined
Went there for the 10th anniversary and they completely ruined it, here’s how -
1. Code for the lock did not work, had to wait 30 minutes for the master key.
2. Hot tub didn’t work, called 3 times to fix, they promised to send someone but nobody showed up.

Poor maintenance
The house is great, needs maintenance. I notified Vacasa that the hot tub was not working Friday, the local people said they would send someone out, they never arrived. I contacted Vacasa 2 other times to dispatch repair, no one called or showed up. Clothes dryer is broken, keypad for entry does not work. Last time I rent a vacasa property, the third time I’ve had issues with Vacasa.
