This was the 3rd, and last, cabin we stayed in during our 8-day cabin crawl around Blue Ridge. It was the most private, scenic, peaceful, cleanest, smallest, and most expensive. We really enjoyed the peacefulness of this property. Sitting by the stream for hours was so relaxing! That said, there were a few surprises we weren't told about before arriving that we wish we had known.
First, was the TV. Yes, there is a TV, but what was left out is that there's no cable or ability to access Netflix, or other streaming service. There was just a blue ray player with an assortment of movies. Luckily, we brought our laptop and was able to hook-up that way in the evenings.
Our next issue was with the fireplace. Yes, there is a fireplace, but it was was covered up and had not been prepped for the fall season. That was a huge disappointment! We wouldn't have booked this cabin had we known that ahead of time. We were told we could buy a manufactured log and burn that, but not a wood fire. Since it was covered up from the inside of the house, we weren't about to uncover it. It needed to be inspected to make sure the flue was clear and safe for fires.
Lastly, was the check-out instructions. They're not mentioned in the listing and they weren't sent to us, even after asking. They were simple and straightforward, but with one big surprise. We found out from the instructions posted in the house that we had to take our trash and dispose of it ourselves (+pay) at the recycle facility in Blue Ridge (7mi away). This was a huge inconvenience for us, since we were headed south, but had to go 14mi out of our way to take 1 bag of trash. For the amount we paid per night for this cabin (we stayed 3nts), they shouldn't be asking that of their guests.
All in all, we really enjoyed our stay. Hopefully, our review will help others in knowing what to expect before booking this cabin.
