Very pleasant place
Loved the location, enjoyed the porch with the cool temperatures and listening to the creek below. Cleaned up the hummingbird feeder and made some feed for them and seen several enjoying it. The cabin was mostly clean, some areas needed a little bit more cleaning such as cobwebs and bathtub in upstairs bath wasn't clean. And the porches needed to be maintained a little better. But regardless of this we enjoyed the stay.

Terrible Stay!
The cabin was not cleaned yet upon our contracted arrival time. Cleaning crew arrived later stating they were late because of cleaning other cabins. We sat out in our car while the cabin was supposedly cleaned. Contact with VACASA was usless. Speaking to a foreigner in another contry that spoke poor English about a problem in NC is usless. They did nothing but say they would report it to the local team who would contact us about any issues. They knew nothing about refunds or even when someone local would contact us. We secifally asked cleaners to clean off the decks since they were covered with debris. After they left, we discovered that they only cleaned the top deck. There were live spiders and multiple webs throughout the house.the downstairs toliet had black stains/mold around the base of it. The storm door window had multiple dead bugs traped in the glass. The blanket on the downstairs bed was not washed but just folded and placed on the bed where we observed it had been used by prior guest on our arrival. Mutiple light fixtures in the house did not work, were missing, or had burnt out bulbs. This cabin has a queen bed, a king bed, and a twin bed. There is only one real bed room having a closet and a door for privacy. The downstairs bedroom(s) have no closets and none of the bedrooms have any storage for clothing in the way of a dresser. The one bedroom with a closet, had no hangers. TV internet and dish were impossible to watch. It froze up every 5 minutes. We never rec

Quiet and beautiful
Super clean and a great place to stay. It's off the beat path but worth it. It's quiet with just nature. Occasional barking dogs. Nothing close by and the closest place to buy something is a gas station 15 minutes away. Suggest brining a cooler with food.

Everything went great. No problems with anything. Just too bad that this week was extremely cold and we were unable to enjoy the outdoors and porches. Very nice. Thank you again for sharing this wonderful place with us.

Home away from home.
We will be back. This cabin/home was immaculate, comfortable, and far enough away from town to be secluded yet close enough to get gas within 10 minutes. We enjoyed all the little "extras", like the fire pit and the two porches to relax and soak in the woods. Thank you for a wonderful visit, we will be back.

Great mountain rental
Great stay at this extra nice mountain house. Much more attention needs to be given to entrance and departure instructions including directions (google maps will attempt to take you through a gated community coming from Sylva) gaining access ( key pad is blacked out until you awaken it) Wi-Fi at property is nonexistent- was only able to access in the wee hours of morning so communication is not available as cell service is also not available. Check out instructions also not given unless you consider the email the management company sends you which you can’t access due to the Wi-Fi issue. House was very clean with lots of attention given to amenities and details which we enjoyed Hoping they are able to address Wi-Fi and thinking he rest will be easy fixes. Wonderful rental for a small group.
