Pros: Vickie replied quickly to every query, both prior to booking and during our stay. Photos and property description are accurate. Secluded - there are a couple cabins in close proximity, but we only saw one car there in 5 days. The views off the porch overlooking the valley are wonderful. The cabin’s fox theme was cute - young children could make a game of counting all the foxes they can find while you unpack! The town of Waynesville is lovely. Great location: We enjoyed skiing at Cataloochee ski area (so close!), Anakeesta theme park in Gatlinburg, and Well Played board game cafe in Asheville, among other nearby adventures. Fireplace was very nice.
Cons: Upon our arrival, we found evidence of a critter having been in a kitchen drawer. Vickie was very apologetic and said her cleaner would rectify the situation, which was apparently due to the prior guests having left trash at the house. (No trash removal there, so you must take your trash with you). We found a bottle of shampoo and conditioner in a drawer for us to share between the two bathrooms, but we’d expected those amenities to be set out, per the property’s description. The upstairs bathroom held a nice set of white bath towels, but the towels and bathmats downstairs were quite worn. We enjoyed the hot tub, but the massage jets did not work. Overall, though, a nice stay thoroughly enjoyed by my whole family.
