Loved every bit of our stay! Such a great house with everything needed and the pond was a great bonus! Quiet and peaceful, and allowed us to relax after our days of missions work. Very impressed by everything and would definitely come back again!

Awesome mountain family retreat!

We always have a family vacation at the beach, but this year we decided to give the mountains a try. The grandkids had an awesome time fishing, swimming and tubing. In fact, they all want to do it again next year! This was a great house and location for a family vacation.

Exceeded Expectations

The listing pictures don’t do it justice. It is a stunning property-incredibly beautiful. The house is roomy and designed for people to spread out comfortably to enjoy privacy or togetherness. Those in our group of 15 (ages 4-70) enjoyed so many things without driving anywhere including: morning coffee on the porch, swimming, fishing, quiet walks, nature watching (deer & turkeys), campfire moments, family meals, games, movies, and the hot tub. We brought kayaks, noodles and a big tube with us that were also well used in the pond. The nearby town of West Jefferson is charming. There we enjoyed a local restaurant, Ashe County Cheese, shopping, and even a trolley ride to a gorgeous winery. Staying here afforded our family time for deep connection, and gave us all wonderful memories!

Great Retreat

We had a great experience with 14 of us in our party. Their are a lot of fish in the pond that kept us really busy. Some bass, bluegill, turtles, frogs...a good variety. The home owners association really keeps up this area. The house has many amenities to keep you busy. You can go tubing at Zaloos right down the road. The only thing I can knock it for is that it could have been a little cleaner when showing up and they need a couple more large trash cans for guests.

Great place to stay

I loved the log cabin and the gated neighborhood! The place was as calm and peaceful as you could want. The porch was filled with rocking chairs and a swing! You could fish, get in hot tub, watch the deer and other wildlife, grill out or have a fire in the fire pit. Close by was great shopping, eating, or renting kayaks. We love it!

Amazing property and location

This property is amazing and has activities for all ages. The pond, firepit, grill, jacuzzi and basement are fantastic. Rooms are great size. Poor cleanliness through out the property. Outside sitting not well maintained, no toilet paper or kitchen paper towels or garbage bags, tiny dish soap. Additional blankets not clean. We expected more for the price range for this amazing property.

Great Home / Disappointed in Cleaning And Service

So overall the home is fantastic and we had a great time and the pictures and description are very accurate to what you get. My issue is that when we arrived there was trash all around the house. 8 or so bags of trash sitting around the property (animals had gotten into a few bags) and then just beer cans, bottles, glasses, boxes, etc. all around the place. I'm not sure how this place was deemed ready for the next guests with all of this trash. We called immediately upon arrival and followed up with an email and pictures requesting someone come ASAP to get rid of the trash. I was told someone would be in touch with me but never heard from anyone and no one ever got the trash over the 4 days we were there. We ended up cleaning up some of it as it smelled and we were getting tired of seeing it and left a lot of the other stuff. I was really shocked that this issue would not have been immediately resolved as this isn't just some small nit-picky kind of complaint. So anyway, we enjoyed the home but had to take a star for leaving the trash and had to take a star for not quickly resolving the problem. Would have easily been 5 stars had it not been for those two things.

We loved the cabin. We enjoyed our stay. The only suggestions: we couldn't find a corkscrew, blackouts in the bedrooms. Thanks! We will stay again!

Waters Edge Retreat Christmas Vacation

The house was absolutely awesome!! Had so much to do and keep yourself busy and having fun. The location was not easy to find at first as GPS throws you off but we were able to find it after getting lost at first. It is super crucial to drive in all wheel drive vehicles during the winter as the exit of the house has a few steep hills and we got stuck on one of them. Luckily a staff member from Carolina Cabin Rentals helped us get out of that mess. Overall great experience, the only negative comments I have is the place could have been cleaned a little better for arrival as it had a ton of cobwebs and dirt on area rugs. Also the trash situation is not convenient for guests as there are 3 trash barrels to put garbage in for a house that sleeps 15 and we stayed for a week so we had tons of garbage we couldn't put in the bins. Luckily we had a great customer service member named Tim tell us that we can leave the extra garbage in the house as they would take care of it and didn't require us to drop it off at a drop site that was 25mins away. Extra garbage barrels need to be added for this size house and it should always be the case that extra trash can be left at the property because tourists that don't know the area and travel during winter/snowy season can put themselves in a predicament like we were. But overall the place was great, thank you!!
