Ruined honeymoon
We booked this place for the view, as I imagine most do. The view is lovely and that is about all that was good. You have to plan out your check in day around meeting the host, which is odd as most places have a number code entry. He then takes you on an extended, unnecessary tour that wastes your precious time. On top of this, there was no water pressure when we arrive, back doors do not lock, and 2 of 4 heaters did not work. It was quite cold when we arrived as well. We contacted the host to come fix the water, which he tried to do but was unsuccessful. We did not want to spend our honeymoon evening with a stranger so we requested the water to be fixed the following day. We had our first evening ruined as we hiked all day and wanted to shower to head out for the evening, but we unable to do so. The drive to the house is not the most pleasant so do be aware. It is a very mountain style, one lane road. Due to the inconveniences we had our first night, we asked for a partial refund and have been denied by the host. Be catious with this property and contact VRBO immediately with concerns. Use the app to communicate as well, not his cell. Do note, there is a health and safety ticket against this property with VRBO as well.

Gorgeous cabin, beautiful view
The view from the deck was amazing. The cabin was perfect. We definitely want to visit again. We also thought it was neat that they provided the means to separate trash, recycling, and compost during our stay.

Respite from the heat and “city”
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the Pinewoods Cabin. The view was spectacular and the cabin had everything we needed to relax. Rick was easy to communicate with and available if anything came up. We loved the proximity of Little Switzerland and the Blueridge Parkway.

Beautiful views
The house was nice and the views were beautiful. We enjoyed the hot tub and there was plenty of towels and wash cloths. It was a very positive experience. We had to meet the person at the local post office and follow them to the house. Not a big deal but we first were not going to be arriving until late the first night and felt odd about having to do this so we took off earlier than planned. That being said, when we plan weekend get aways we want to be able to stop and go as we please. It may not have been a big deal for them to meet us late but I personally like being able to just receive a key or key code and arrive when we want.
