Great overall
Great stay overall! It was a lovely cabin with plenty of room. The reason we gave 4 stars instead of 5 is it was lacking in some of the details (limited dish soap, toilet paper, no extras as far as soaps, shampoos, even the hand soap was watered down and not great). Not a big deal but definitely something that has made other stays more comfortable. Would certainly stay again though- it had a great view and is very very pet friendly with no carpets!

Spacious House with 6 full bathrooms
The house was a wonderful option for a large family group. We needed a place to stay for two nights prior to our daughter’s wedding weekend at the Kaplan Mitchell Retreat Center. The long kitchen table afforded two groups of 4 to work on separate wedding preparations (assembly style) at the same time. The house was clean, comfortable, and had amazing views from the 3 different decks.

Beautiful Mountain Home
This home is set up for big family gatherings. It was just the right amount of room for all of us to gather in one large space and small groups to gather inside and around the property. The two master bedrooms and en suite bathrooms on the top level are beautiful. There are two bedrooms on the main level off the kitchen living room. Both have en suite bathrooms. This main level is a beautiful large space with a great well stocked kitchen and comfortable living room area. The view from the main back deck is good and even better on the upper decks off the the two master bedrooms upstairs. There are two bedrooms on the next level down that share a bathroom. One bedroom has a window looking out at the back deck and the other is an interior room with no window. This level has a nice living room space with access to the back deck. The lowest level is a large space with games, tv and huge sectional sofa with access to the back deck. There is also a full bathroom down here. All the bathrooms in the home are full bathrooms. Surrounding neighborhood is quiet and pleasant. I had one small issue/question and it was quickly resolved with a phone call to the property manager contact person. We loved the home and the area and will be back.

Great property for a group gathering
We attended the Highlands Motoring Festival and this was our first stay at this property. More room than our four couples needed but the house was great. Lots of stairs as the house is on four separate levels. We had a couple of people state their maps/gps guidance was directing them towards the adjacent country club. So to the extent that this helps, I recommend taking Dillard Rd towards Highlands, NC. Look for the Sinclair gas sign as a landmark with a right turn just before it (assuming you are northbound on Dillard rd). Rooms and kitchen were clean, and the only items folks were looking for was shampoo and conditioner in the bathrooms. Otherwise the collective opinion was we would stay again. Excellent communication by the host so everything was quite smooth.

Good for large groups. Room for improvement.
The good *plenty of room/space to spread out, *great place for large groups *kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms were all fine *Multiple decks provide good outdoor area to hang out Room for improvement *the only propane tank on the property was empty and sitting in the weed infested flower bed out front. It was obviously empty but it was not replaced. We planned to grill for dinner since the property was listed as having a grill. I had to drive down the mountain to get a propane tank. I left screenshot of proof of purchase with Evolve. 10 days later I have yet to be reimbursed. This is not acceptable. *the yard area around the house needs attention -weeds overrunning flower beds, trash by the sides of the house, etc. *the “fire pit” area is a joke (and also right next to the trashy side yard) It was not used during our stay due to poor conditions and dirt covered chairs. It appeared the fire pit area had not been visited for several weeks *tree tops could be trimmed to provide a much better view. Summary - it’s suitable for large groups who need a place to stay. I would stay here again. The interior was clean and suitable. The exterior needs some work. The lack of reimbursement for the propane drops it to a 3 star rating.

Mtn weekend
My boyfriend and I along with a few other couples chose this house for a little birthday mountain weekend and it was perfect for us. The location was perfect from where we were all coming from and since we went into Highlands one day. The view was beautiful. It had everything we needed for the big meals we made. The large kitchen table was so fun so we could all sit together. The basement area was also fun at night with the stereo and poker table for the guys. We truly had no issues. We will definitely come back!!

Spacious. Great view. Kitchen needs some repair.
Overall, we had a great experience. We were under the impression that it was a two-story cabin. It is a four-story cabin. With small kids, this was an issue. When we arrived, there was a note on the refrigerator that stated that the dishwasher door needed to be fixed. We thought that it just came down quickly when you opened it. Twice, it slammed down while running and eventually would not stay closed. We ended up handwashing the dishes. With a family of 12, that was a chore. We would not have stayed here if we knew that the dishwasher was not useable. Thankfully, it did not fall on anyone. It was a terrible hazard. Also, the cooktop only worked on high even when it was set on low. We have been staying at cabins in north Georgia for decades. I won't stay here again. It should not be rented if someone could get seriously injured. I am so glad that none of my grandchildren were standing next to it when it slammed open during operation. There were a few other issues that were manageable.

Nice mountain cabin
It’s a nice cabin with a view of the mountains. There were 10 of us including 4 kids. There was plenty of space with multiple floors and rooms. There wasn’t a lot for the kids to do besides foos ball on the lowest level, they had that and a poker table. The kitchen was a good size and the table sat 10 which was perfect. There is a wood burning fireplace in the living room and a fire pit outside but they don’t provide firewood (just FYI). It was decorated with mountain style furniture which was a nice touch as well as fall decorations for the season. All in all it was a very nice cabin.

Fantastic views
We stayed here with our 4 kids,their spouses and granddaughter. We were 12 total. 1st. The house is even better in person and the vrbo ad should say that it has double basements. 3 family rooms with the and fireplaces.Room for everyone without feeling cramped. Game room on the bottom level with a bath was very nice. There is 2 masters on the top level with decks that have fabulous views. 2 bedrooms on the main level each with bath is great for someone who can't do many stairs. The kitchen has every thing you need for cooking and the huge dining table fit 12 of us without a problem for meals. Very nicely decorated with a nice mountain feel. With that all said , a few of the shower curtain liners needs to be changed more often . You will love the views this house has to offer with it 4 decks (a deck on each floor).

The view was amazing, and the space was great. The host Rachel was amazing, she was very attentive. However, there I was not very impressed with the cleanliness of the property. It seemed as if the if the cleaning crew only ensured that the guest had clean linen. Pet hair was all over the floor, on the furniture, and the throw blankets. In one of the master bedrooms the cabinets need to be repainted. Oh, and the cheap the shower curtains need to be replaced it was full of mildew. I notice little things like that due to OCD. Another downfall in the description it mentions that satellite/cable tv - not true. I had to use my Netflix and Amazon Prime to watch tv. No TV in the bedrooms. There is only one bed in the bedroom that states two double beds, however it is a twin bed with pull out trundle. The place is not ADA friendly. Lastly, the furniture needs to be replaced, perhaps with leather to help reduce germs. In other words, the place needs a deep cleaning, and few minor make overs. Other than the issues mentioned the view was amazing and the layout was outstanding.

Great view
The views from the property were amazing and the space was great. However, as other recent reviews have stated, the property could use a serious deep clean. There were cobwebs all over the tall ceilings and beams in every room, closet, etc. The bedding, bathroom, furniture, etc. was clean but the overall feeling of the cabin was impacted by all the cobwebs and the beautiful view out the large main window was obstructed by cobwebs as well. Additionally, we ran the dishwasher the first full day we were there and it leaked. I contacted the contact number and email we were provided and never received a response during our stay or at the time of this review. Due to the amazing location, views, and layout of the home, we would likely stay here again, but a few things certainly need to be addressed.
