Nice cabin
All in all the place was very nice. The kitchen was very well lit. So glad there were instructions on how to use the oven after the electric goes off. The place does need a little love. We had to replace some lightbulbs that were missing from lamps. Luckily there were some in a cabinet. The living room is very dark.

Mountain cabin retreat
Overall the the rental met expectations and we enjoyed our stay. While the lake is a 1 minute walk, the lake frontage is all private and there is limited to no access to the lake for swimming by the cabin. Access to lake is at public access point around Lake Watauga.

Wonderful Mountain Cabin
This is such a great cabin; all the little decor touches were awesome "Go Vults". The kitchen was a great space for multiple things to be going on at once. We had a couple of issues, and I sincerely believe what happened was, that we were the first people to stay in the cabin after being closed up for the winter, and instead of the housekeeper giving it a deep spring cleaning, she just did a quick wipe down. We reached out to Sean, who was wonderful and felt awful, he truly wanted to take care of the situation, but ran into an issue with the housekeeper not being available right away. Honestly even after all is said and done, we would go back and stay there again, knowing what happened was an unfortunate situation, for everyone involved.

Family Reunion, Thanksgiving
The cabin was equipped very well for cooking meals of any size. We enjoyed our thanksgiving meal and then some. The cabin was family friendly. We loved the views and just how comfortable and homey the feeling was. When we left we actually felt the deer saying goodbye to us all. Going to make this a yearly tradition. Thank you for the experience!

We enjoyed our stay!
Beautiful home with amazing views! The deck needs some attention, but you can see it is being worked on. That being said, the only negative I would say is that whoever is working is not cleaning up after themselves completely. It in no way takes away from the home or the view, unless you want to let it, but it is a little untidy outside. The home is cozy and welcoming. The communication with the host was wonderful! It seems more and more that I've had to ask for check in info the day of the stay for other VRBOs, but he sent the info a week ahead. I was really appreciative of that. The bed in the master upstairs is very firm, but that is a matter of preference. Overall we really enjoyed ourselves!

Great Vacation Cabin
We thoroughly enjoyed our extended stay at this cabin. We were there for over 3 weeks, combining some real down-time vacation with work days sandwiched in between. Overall we thought it was terrific. The cabin is at the top of a hill overlooking Watauga Lake and the views really are lovely. The cabin layout and feel is as it is shown and described and as we expected. We had our dogs and they loved the ability to run around outside. Other reviews have noted some areas for improvement like a bit of maintenance on the deck—those are accurate, though it didn’t bother us that much or prevent us from using the deck almost every day. For us the bigger issue was the connectivity. There is WiFi, but it is satellite and connections are unstable, and cell service is not reliable up there. On days when we were working, we went into a nearby town. If we had only been vacationing, that kind of remote disconnect would have been perfect, but if you are in need of things like video calls, it is more challenging. But overall we did enjoy it and are considering a return next summer. Sean was also responsive and helpful throughout.

Will not return
Access to this property is very difficult. If we had driven a car, we would have had trouble getting it up the dirt road and would have bottomed out, the drive up is full of ruts from rain. We couldn't have other family come up to visit in their mini van, as we feared they would sustain damage. The deck of the house was filthy of cob webs, layers of dirt and pine needles. The lattice on the railing had some broken and/or missing pieces. We could not use the table and chairs on the deck, they were disgustingly dirty. One of the screen doors didn't close and had several holes in the screen. Interior, the living room was nice. The master bed/bath is extremely nice. Downstairs shower door fell off the track, we had to get it back on to use the shower. The refrigerator froze everything in it on the lowest temperature setting. Otherwise, the kitchen is nice, spacious and lots of room to work. Communication with the owner was very delayed and I had to request check-in info the day before our check-in date. We were very disappointed with this rental and will not be renting it again.

Great getaway in the mountains. Cabin was very clean, but a little more well loved than images showed. I tried working from the cabin a couple of days--wifi was slow for video calls and cell service was weak. But if you're looking for a getaway in the mountains, this is a fantastic place to call home for a week!

Electricity
It was a beautiful home and we enjoyed our stay. We arrived at 4pm and could not get into the house. We finally received the code from the owner. When we got into the house the electricity was off. The owner got in touch with the electric company. We were going back down the hill to find a hotel. The electric company arrived and determined that the electric was turned off due to non-payment. The repairman called the company and the electric was turned back on. It was 9pm when we finally got into the house. The owner did REIMBURSE us for the first nights stay. It was a beautiful home!!! The owner did his best for us.
