Perfect location for a relaxing weekend in the mountains. House was clean and spacious, well organized with cute decor, and the kids loved sleeping in the bunkbeds. Located extremely close to downtown Blowing Rock, ideally located for a late summer weekend. Thank you to the hosts and the management team for hosting us! For future visitors, I would recommend 4 wheel drive if you are anticipating any inclement weather or snow due to the gravel road.

Great place. The hot tub was wonderful. The kitchen is well stocked. I would recommend having Glass drinking glasses and wine glasses instead of plastic. Outside of that everything was great.

Perfect weekend getaway

We had everything we needed for our little family getaway in the mountains. The cabin was tucked back in on the mountain which allowed for the feeling of total privacy and seclusion from the world. On the flip side, it was quite a long, windy road to get to and from town! Perfect location, but be prepared to drive on a dirt road to a from town. Loved the view, wouldn’t trade that!

Level Up Retreat

We are so happy that we chose Misty Mountain Cabin for my dear friend Violet’s 33rd birthday 🎉 We wanted a secluded space where we could focus on hiking and spend time by the fire 🔥 and the hot tub. While the weather didn’t cooperate for the hiking, this is where we discovered some of the hidden gems of this property. There is a wonderful collection of board games, puzzles and books downstairs and the dining room table with its bench seating was ideal for our group to gather around the table and work together to finish a 750 piece puzzle and enjoy some board games as well. The wood burning stove was a wonderful source of warmth. Grabbed some firewood bundles from the Speedway in town and we enjoyed a great amount of time sitting by the fire 🔥 Great setup for families and blended groups with the bunk beds and a separate queen sized bedroom downstairs and a comfy long bedroom upstairs.

There is something WRONG here

Where to start? There was no hot water at our rental and after waiting 24 hours for resolution to this issue (as in 2pm on our final day) we were told no one could come until a week and a half later (?). We were offered the option to find another place to stay for a refund on that night's stay (not the first night) or a discount if we stayed. Not much of an option. In this time, rentals promise extra cleaning measures and yet this home was cleaned without the cleaning crew noticing that there was no hot water??? The hot tub water was so dirty that it was not usable in the time we were there. Perhaps the people before us needed to use it for showers. This experience was an eye opener. VRBO does not protect renters.

What a View!

The place was just as described! It had such a beautiful view. I literally dropped my bag and went straight to the window upon arrival having a clear view of Grandfather Mountain! It was so majestic! The place was nice and clean. The jetted tub needed some TLC though. The hot tub felt fabulous. A few of the jets were not working, and the radio did not work on the hot tub either, but we didn’t care. We were there for nature! Dishwasher was hit and miss, but I prefer hand washing anyway. The house is VERY close to town, but it feels like you are miles and miles away with the views. WiFi was not great, but honestly it was a selling point for me! They had some nice yard games, and puzzles. I loved the selection of books too on that rainy day! The road into the cabin, the last 2 miles IS a dirt road. We did not mind one bit. Just take your time. If you’re not used to that sort of thing, you will be used to it by day two. Other than the bathtub needing care before use, the only other complaint was there was no instructions. Most rentals I’ve had in the past leave a list of trash days, things needed done before check out as some places want the beds stripped, some want you to just leave them. We missed trash day as there was no instruction, and as there were not city cans, we thought trash trucks didn’t come up that way. We were wrong. On the way back from a whole day away we saw empty cans in driveways. We enjoyed the falls and white water rafting nearby! Awesome trip!

Hoped for something little nicer for the Price

Thankfully I decided to arrive few hours earlier, 6:30 pm, because the door code I was given, was not valid. After spending about 15 minutes on the phone, I was finally able to get into the house. Mind you, it was about 35 degrees with wind gusts up to 50 mph that day, so it was challenging to stay and try inputting several codes. The outside of the house, ie; the grounds, mulch beds, and yard. Was covered in leaves, clearly had not been touched since last year. The road to this rental is treacherous, gravel, washed out, big potholes, extremely bumpy, and I couldn’t imagine how difficult it must be in inclement weather. The 3 neighboring houses, were run down, yards full of old cars machinery and trash, and not very appeasing to drive by to and from the cabin. The fireplace was nice to have, as it was very cold that weekend and windy. If you need Wifi, don’t count on it working well for you, it was spotty, barely worked when connected. The TV’s are outdated. The WiFi, doesn’t really work, so Netflix prime etc, for night time viewing was out. The sound bar in living room didn’t work. Thankfully we only stayed in the upstairs master, the basement stays quite cold, even with heat on, it didn’t seem to get above 65. I asked for a later checkout, as 10am seems very early for a vacation retreat checkout. Was charged for extra 4 hours, even though my check in was not as planned, and no renters were coming in after us…The house and bathrooms were clean. The drywall and paint in the house were very poorly done and took away from the beauty of the interior for me. The views were definitely spectacular, and we enjoyed the hot tub. Overall the stay was ok, however for the amount of money I spent, I was not satisfied with my experience.

Hi Alex, We are sorry to hear that you encountered some difficulty in getting into the home. In checking the lock log we see that you were sent a backup code to access the property and that once you received it you were able to access immediately, in those conditions it can seem that a matter of minutes can seem like an eternity when your frustrated. Regarding the local neighbors. The home does sit on a dirt road and is situated in a very country setting. The local who are lucky enough to call that area home are very good folks who choose to live outside the city a bit. Most of the "homesteads" in and around that area in an attempt to be as self sufficient as possible, have in their yards gardens, bee hives, stacked firewood. and even a chicken or two. Possibly what you are calling trash are some of these items. If you come from an urban area its very easy to confuse these items. Regarding the interior finishes we will take a look at those and proceed with updates according to the owners wishes. Thank you for bringing these items to our attention.

Nice place to stay

The experience there was ok. Got there at 6pm and our code was expired, there was no phone communication from there so we had to return to the main city to be able to call them for a new code. The mattress for the master bedroom is a shame, I wouldn't go back for that reason, old and uncomfortable, the rest of the cabin is very nice and cozy, everything we needed was there. They only clean where you see, under the beds was a little dirty and there was empty bottles of body lotion, that probably belonged to other previous guests (never cleaned). We were also concerned about safety since the cabin is isolated and one time we got back home and the back gate was opened, we called the police. Call the management company and they said alarm is not activated, nothing to do. If you need internet to work, their internet is very slow, we even tried with the ethernet cable and we couldn't do much.

Overall Great

Loved the location. It was nestled in the perfect spot. After talking, we would’ve loved if the hot tub was covered under the porch or on the deck.. we missed out on using it some because of the rain. It was also a pain to walk barefoot through gravel to get to it. Loved the inside of the house, but the jacuzzi jets did not work, and that was a bummer! All in all, we’d stay here again...

Nice Cabin

Overall, for our first time to ski, it was a blast. Cabin was nice and clean. Only negative, we spent over 8 hours trying to get up the mountain from the cabin. 2.5 mile ride. If you’re coming during the winter weather, PLEASE be advised and bring anything necessary to get up the mountain because there is no pavement and it ices QUICK.

Misty Mountain Cabin stay

What should have been a peaceful getaway for my 20th anniversary turned out to be a memorable event and not in a good way. First on the way up to the property I received a call that the hot tub and the dishwasher did not work and a contractor was en route to fix both. Upon arrival there was no evidence of any work completed and did not work as expected. During the entire stay the hot tub was broken and did not work. This was a big reason why I selected this property. Next was the unexpected visitors (bugs) in the house especially in the master bedroom. There were many ladybugs and stink bugs and my wife and I found live stink bugs in the bed on both nights of our stay. I took the vacuum at the property and cleaned the room myself. It was evident that the prior "cleaning fee" I was charged did not happen at this property sufficiently. Finding bugs in your bed 2 nights in a row REALLY takes away from your comfort and experience. Needless to say I will never stay at this property again. Very disappointed and not the memories I wanted for my 20th anniversary.
Response from VrboOwner on 30 Oct 2020
Thank you Ryan for sharing your experience. We so regret that your experience was not up to your expectations. I see we did compensate the cleaning fee and we sincerely hope that eased some of your inconvenience. During this time of year in log homes it is not unusual to see an abundance of lady bugs and stink bugs. Our staff did remove any bugs they saw while at the home and we regret that some came in between their presence and your arrival. Please accept our sincerest apologies for that.

Nice cabin but.....

Stayed here before, always a nice place to stay but some issues this time. Some items that need to be checked are: stove top burners (not all of them function properly), the jacuzzi tub in the MB (jets don't turn on, only got it to work once), tv remote for living room TV was missing, no starter soap for dishwasher, trash can bags, paper towels. Hard surface Floor was dirty upon entry as well. Just some issues that probably needs addressing, other than that great place to stay!
