Waynesville Smart Cabin w/ Hot Tub & Views!

Reviews

• 4/5

  Everything was amazing except the driveway. Wow that’s a dangerous situation especially on a Harley or any vehicle that’s not lifted with 4x4. The steep slope and gravel make for large mounds of loose gravel with deep holes that can bottom out a sedan easily. I’m a highly skilled motorcycle rider so I traversed this with extreme care and didn’t damage it. The neighbors were great and let me borrow a rake to smooth out the high spots manually (not what I should be doing on vacation). That being said a simple investment in asphalt and proper drainage would alleviate this issue immediately and make this property a 6 out of 5 star property. Everything else was fantastic and the driveway was the only thing I could complain about. Clean, beautiful and top of the line finishes and technology available. Would stay again if driveway is fixed.

• Beautiful Mountain Views

  3/5

  The back porch, mountain view, open concept and helpful full-time neighbors were the best qualities of this property. As mentioned in previous reviews, the driveway is very steep and does not have a gravel bonding agent, just gravel, that constantly needs to be raked and restored. The host was not happy when we tried to bring our trailer up the driveway and our tires spun, digging up some of the gravel from the driveway. I left the host a note with suggestions for the enjoyment of future guests: Fix garbage disposal, provide more than one blanket for the 3 bedrooms, provide more than one wine glass, make sure the clocks are working and batteries are replaced (none of the 3 clocks were working). Replace empty spices and provide more than one roll of paper towels and put up the other closet panel on the washer and dryer. I stay in short-term rentals all of the time and my family also owns one. I just want the owner and host to be the best they can be so that their beautiful rental will continue to be lucrative. I know the host and owner will take care of the things that I mentioned because they have done so when other guests left reviews and suggestions. The best part of our trip was having an amazing visit with family and meeting Missy, Jack, and Ozzie next door.

  Hi Denise, we’re so glad you enjoyed the mountain view, and the neighborhood, but we’re sorry other aspects fell short of expectations. After sending your feedback to the owner, we'd like to share the following:
  - The driveway is typical for mountain homes in North Carolina, where gravel surfaces and steep grades are common. While different from non-mountain driveways, it meets local standards and is regularly maintained.
  - Towing a trailer on mountain slopes requires careful driving to avoid tire spin, which can disturb the gravel but isn’t due to property neglect.
  - There are multiple blankets and a full set of wine glasses at the property. The homeowner encourages guests to reach out during their stay if anything additional is needed.
  - The homeowner values constructive feedback and consistently addresses guest suggestions. They’ll review your notes to keep everything in great shape for future guests.
  We appreciate your feedback so we can continue to improve and support the homeowner in providing guests with the 5-star service he is known for.
