Not a knock on the place at all, since it's right in the listing - but you do need a 4WD vehicle to get up the road to the cabin. They aren't just being cautious. ##### Anthony N.

The road leading to it has some ruts but not too bad. The driveway is a little steep but we all accessed it using sport mode. The cabin isnt fancy like some, but has the neccessities. If you have little ones, you may want to bring a baby gate to keep them from falling down the stairs. ##### Tammy A.

Aug 18, 2024 #### Mountain Getaway Good house to stay for the weekend. Definitely an older home with a rustic cabin feel in a secluded location. I know it says AWD or 4WD is needed in the description, and that is absolutely correct. I’m not sure anything less would make it up the road to the cabin. I would also strongly advise getting there before dark. All in all a good place to stay. ##### Dillon N. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Karen G. Oct 12, 2025 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy Cleanliness of house left a lot to be desired. Live wasps in lamps, dishes and flatware had dried food on them, front steps and deck had slick spots from where water was dripping and had caused bacteria, water pressure was poor so you couldn’t use any of the bathrooms at the same time nor run the dishwasher, commode upstairs was filthy, shower upstairs was clogged with hair in the drain and the commode was clogged, smoke detector needed battery and beeped the entire stay, kitchen table was so dirty and sticky the dishes and napkins stuck to it, there was sand in the bed upstairs, yellow insulation blew out the vent in the downstairs bathroom every time the unit kicked on, maintenance was needed on the porch and deck, solar lights at front porch and on deck didn’t work and several were busted, clock didn’t work, ETC. Great location, easy checkin but DESPERATELY NEEDS CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6b581a20-982a-44e6-8955-f3e191b50e51-1760299600924.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5dcc40a7-e52c-4f60-b1c4-399f41b1abd0-1760299609272.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0cb359d9-f06c-46d4-a387-57d521390c1f-1760299617233.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Karen G.

The approach to the house is a difficult one though and definitely requires 4 wheel drive. We were very grateful that we had it, but it wasn't very obvious on this site that we needed it. All in all, if you can get there, it's a great place and very close to all the places you want to go in the area! ##### Amanda S.

Jul 19, 2023 #### Beautiful Mountain Getaway Nice rustic cabin in the heart of the mountains. Clean and well kept. Perfect location within an hour of most main attractions. It is high in the trees and there is nothing better than rocking or swinging on the front porch! It is not a "glitz and glamour" type of cabin, but it is truly a perfect mountain escape from the hustle and bustle. Loved it. ##### Tiffany S. ### 6/10 Okay #### Chris W., Lexington Feb 2, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Check-in, communication #### Quit little house, Close to the casino The house is difficult to find on google maps because the dirt road up the mountain doesn’t register. Really close to food, grocery stores and the casino. Everything is under 10 minutes. The hot tub is nice and beds are comfy. The bottom bunk bed was broken so thankfully we didn’t have a 6th person. All in all I would stay at the house again, but maybe not my first choice. ##### Chris W. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie A. Apr 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice Family-Friendly Getaway This cabin was perfect for our group of 4 adults and 5 kids. The kitchen is well-stocked with pots, pans, and utensils, and the beds were comfortable. The hot tub was great for relaxing in the evenings. The surroundings are so peaceful.... we particularly enjoyed the mountain views, fresh air, and waking up to the sounds of nature. The cabin is secluded, but just a short drive from Cherokee and the GSM National Park. Overall, we had a great experience and would highly recommend! Things to know: The driveway is STEEP (but this was clearly explained in the listing), and is extra difficult when it's muddy. Also, you may want to bring extra necessities such as paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, etc if staying more than a couple of days. ##### Julie A. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Emily D. Jul 21, 2025 #### It's an old cabin in the woods The hot tub was indeed HOT and was the best feature of this rental. This is a great place if your main goal is to be secluded. Be super aware that 4 wheel drive is essential to access this property; the road it is on is in very rough shape and the last turn up into the driveway is so steep that you can't really see where you are going on the way in or the way out. Due to the steepness and extremely rough road, there is no way to back into the drive. I was able to make an 8 point turn in my F150 in order to face out when I was leaving; otherwise I would've needed to back out at least 300' on rough and unmaintained road. I was in town for work and the cabin served as a place to sleep; for that it was good enough. It did have the mildew smell that many of these old vacation rentals seem to have. The AC was blasting and definitely worked to keep the place cool and low humidity. The ceiling fan in the upstairs bedroom could not be run without the light on, which was a minor inconvenience. The kitchen is small but seemed well enough provisioned with cookware and basic spices. I probably wouldn't stay here again due to the blood pressure raising qualities of the road, but the place does have it's charm and potential. There are taxidermied animals and animal parts on the walls, for those who may or may not be into that sort of thing. ##### Emily D. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Carl M. May 13, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Disaster We did not stay a single night. Luckily I went by myself to check in our first night. Horrific experience is an understatement. GPS has no idea where this place is. It was the middle of the night. After I “luckily” found it I was amazed that the place is even listed on Vrbo and Vacasa! Do y’all even send someone out to see the properties? IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO PARK 2 VEHICLES, MUCH LESS 3! THERE IS NO ROOM TO TURN AROUND. WE DID NOT STAY THERE A SINGLE NIGHT. HORRIFIC. I’ve stayed with Vrbo and Vacasa many times. Never have I not stayed where I PAID to stay. We had to get hotel rooms at extra cost and one of our guests just cancelled his trip all together. Inexcusable. Period. ##### Carl M.

Dec 27, 2022 #### Waste of Money I arrived at this property excited to relax in the hottub to find out the thing didnt even work. I reported it was promised and update on it so I could get another cabin and never heard a word. I complain again and find that someone is coming to look at it, ON THE DAY IM CHECKING OUT. A week later!!! Layers of dust on the blinds, cobwebs everywhere, and others clothing found around the cabin. Never again! ##### Terri M. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Michael P.

Nov 14, 2022 #### Absolutely Beautiful Everything was just as posted. The cabin was very clean, cozy, and inviting. The fireplace and hot tub made it so enjoyable. Really appreciated the description stating a need for 4wd. Very tucked away and secluded feeling, yet close to town. Can’t wait to visit again. ##### Holly C.

Oct 24, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing property The cabin itself and the property surrounding it is amazing. The seclusion and privacy allowed us to feel at home when were not out touring. However, when we went to check in the cleaning lady was still there. We were about 10 mins early but she said she would not be finished until 4:30\. We were due for check in at 4\. The cleaning was not gross but could have been better. The floors were sticky and there was dust and spider webs under the beds and on the walls. Spider webs all along the deck. Other than the little slackness of cleaning and maybe suggest some safety gates at the the entrance to all the stair ways( for toddlers) the cabin was a great stay. Our family had a fantastic time. ##### Sheila P.
