Conflicted But Fun!!
So first off if you are looking for a quiet peaceful get away this is for you. Now however with that being said checking in and out was a breeze. My sister and I went for a mommy getaway. Once we arrived we noticed the porch light did not work and it gets dark like pitch black dark at night I reached out to have someone come to fix it and no one ever showed up. Then we entered the property we picked our rooms and began to check out the house. It’s a beautiful peaceful little cabin I’m gonna give the best fair review that I can. I think housekeeping needs to do a little better there was dust and webs everywhere and the sofa needs to be cleaned or replaced we covered the sofa with a blanket and sat on that. Then in my bedroom my down comforter was stained with chocolate or blood not sure. My sisters was fine I travel with my own sheets and pillow covers. The bathroom shower curtain liner was foggy and dirty so we went to the local Walmart and bought one to replace it a gift on us . Now at the end of our trip we stripped the beds and the mattress covers need to be replaced they had stains all over them . We put all of the linens in the machine before we left we brought our own towels so no need to wash the towels there but we did anyways. So in the end my sister and I had a really good time and I guess that’s all that matters. As far as a property manager it seemed like all I got was excuses I got to the point I didn’t even care anymore. It just needs better housekeeping.

Cozy Cabin
Conveniently located close to Harrah’s Cherokee Resort and Bryson City. The Cove was idyllic, nestled on a paved private one-way winding mountain road. It was as pictured and described online. The cabins are spaced throughout the winding road, offering just a partial view of the adjacent cabin. I had read a review prior to booking that mentioned the ceiling in the shower being in the eve, making showering difficult for tall people and that was discovered to be the case for members of our party over 6’ tall. We would stay there again and with a larger group, stay in one of the larger homes there.

Weekend getaway
The cabin was cozy, but definitely smaller than we expected. Our family of 4 made it work though. A couple things to suggest for the property: curtains/drapes would have been nice in the bathroom windows, so it didn’t feel like your privacy was invaded and a few more towels and washcloths. Overall, it was a great location within 10-20 minutes of Cherokee, Sylva, and Dillsboro. Also, there is no central heat or space heaters in the cabin so if you go in cooler weather be prepared to bundle up! Again it worked out for the 4 of us but we also had friends staying at the hilltop cabin at the same time, we did spend a lot of time at their cabin as it had more space inside and out for the kids to play.

Cozy cabin with small issues
Was a nice SMALL cozy cabin. If you are over 6'2'', you cannot shower. Coffee carafe didnt go with coffee pot so had a mess the first morning. Had dirty dishes in oven. Cobwebs in bathrooms and bedrooms. Landscapers on our property saturday afternoon did not make for a peaceful day. All in all it was ok but so many small things add up. I would say if in the area again, we would look for a different cabin.

Whittier NC Summer Trip
It was a great location on a small farm. I would easily have given it a 6 star rating if possible, but there few a few things that were a little annoying. The trash from the previous visitor was not picked up, so the outside trash can was full when we arrived on a Friday evening and it did not get emptied until the following Monday! I tried to message and call the Vacasa help line, but of course it is very difficult on the weekend to get help. The bath tube stopper would not work, so my wife had a difficult time taking a bath. There are no curtains on the bathroom windows and the shower height is for short people. I'm about 6 ft. and had to sit down in the shower to rinse off. Besides these things it was a great, clean, rustic cabin with lots of charm especially the front porch and views.

We enjoyed every bit of it. The cabin is as cute as the pictures. The place was clean and beds we’re comfortable. We would definitely stay again. Loved the porch, rocking chairs, swing and the view.
