Not the right cabin for us but beautiful.
Pros: Beautiful home, incredible views, no need for 4x4, easy check in, pleasant rental agency, clean Cons: insufficient cooking supplies, no internet for our entire stay, uncomfortable beds (very firm), Master shower drained so slowly, no bath mats in secondary bathroom, no yard for children to roam, no outdoor gas grill, washer/dryer weren't working properly, tankless water heater is located in master closet and is LOUD when working, lacked amenities for children Overall this is a lovely cabin that is reasonably located to attractions but it was not the right cabin for my family. It needed some attention to detail as far as cooking supplies, maintenance, and ambience. My family prefers a cabin that feels like you're staying at a friend's home and not a rental. The yard is not ideal for young children or loose dogs as there is no fencing or anything to indicate that there is an extreme drop off. The road up is intimidating but easily traversed in a 2 wheel drive SUV. I highly recommend the restaurant that is at the mouth of the holler going to the property, The Rivers End.

Arrived at the property and it had yet to be cleaned and there was an issue with the hot tub. Both were rectified as soon as we called to check in. The place was awesome with lots of space and modern appliances. Bring your own pots, pans, and baking sheets.

This home is beautiful and the views were gorgeous. The only negative is the drive to the top and how long it takes to go anywhere...but that's the price you have to pay for the views!

Scenic and Peaceful
Views are amazing and, if you love birds, be ready for a pair of Indigo Buntings to serenade you! Hummingbirds are at the ready. There are what appear to be blackberry bushes all around the property, and if your are quiet enough, you may see deer (you will definitely notice their scat around the driveway). Watching the sunrise, and the ebb and flow of clouds throughout the day across the mountains which surround this location is very relaxing. Hot tub was on point and, if you take a dip at night, turn off the porch lights to enjoy the view of stars and planets. There is no lifter on which to fold the hot tub cover for ease of removing/replacing so be mindful of that if you are lacking in upper body strength. There are a few cabins near this location (one of which you can see through the trees to the ESE), so be prepared for some visitor noise; sound travels for sure up here! We drove up in a FWD sedan and had no problem making our way to the house. Waze did not have the right directions as we neared the house so use the directions provided by the management company-they are on point! The house is setup very well and everyone said they slept well on the beds. The guest bathroom is not easy for older people with mobility issues (high step in and no handle bars) but the master bath has a walk in shower which worked perfectly. Only thing I wished for was an outdoor fire pit (indoor gas fireplace worked wonderfully!) Will def come back to be Above It All!

Breathtaking Views
We couldn’t have enjoyed our stay more, our pup loved the mountains and although the road was interesting it wasn’t unmanageable.

Phenomenal views, stunning home
This was our first VRBO experience and it did not disappoint! Despite previous reviews regarding the road, we found the road well maintained and easy to drive in our Toyota Sienna van. If you are not familiar with mountain roads and gravel be sure to arrive during the day for your first ascent. A lovely home with all the comforts of home and spectacular views. Be sure to catch the sunrise and sunsets! We are already planning a return trip next year.

Perfect getaway
Perfect getaway for the family. Loved the fireplace, cozy bedrooms and very clean. Enough space for our family of 6. Could use some more kitchenware and the hot tub never got hot enough but that didn’t stop us!
