Family Getaway
Regrettably, our stay at this cabin did not meet our expectations. The property's listing descriptions and pictures were inaccurate, particularly regarding the river access. While the river is visible from the property, a steep cliff at the edge necessitates a lengthy, challenging hike to access it, making it unsuitable for families with young children. Moreover, the gated community's roads are steep and poorly maintained, with broken gravel, rocks, and mud/clay, requiring an all-wheel-drive vehicle for safe navigation. Inside the cabin, we encountered cleanliness issues. The interior was excessively dusty, indicating a superficial cleaning approach. The outdoor furniture was also dirty, with accumulated bugs and pollen, suggesting inadequate maintenance. A major concern was the property's insecure entry points and lack of alarm system. Most windows were unlocked upon arrival. It is essential to note that guests must provide their own firewood, and the grill operates on propane with a direct house hookup. Our goal was to find a cabin for repeat bookings, but we would not rebook this specific property. We intend to return to the Blue Ridge area, however.
