The cabin was perfect for our group of 8. Plenty of items stocked in the kitchen and very clean. Susan was a great host and even contacted us to let us know one of ours kids left behind a stuffed animal.
The house and view is amazing! The house was well furnished. We made two huge family meals and had everything we needed. The kids loved the rec room too. We did have a serious issue with a very unprofessional property manager Susan. That I reported separately.

Being evil is a choice. I hope that review made you feel good. Please stay away from WNC. I too have reached out to vrbo.
Very nice home, had everything we needed & plenty of space. We loved playing in the creek & seeing all the deer as we drove through Powderhorn mountain on our way to different areas. The house did not have a Mountain View which my husband really wanted (it didn’t bother me so much).

Reviewer Comments:
This is the perfect family getaway! The lodge is comfortable and well-appointed, with a great view and lots of space. Lots of clear information is provided about the house, the community, and the surrounding natural spaces. The community pool and clubhouse are close by, literally right beside a lake with fishing and paddleboats. There are more trails than anyone could hike in a week's stay, and it is clear that the homeowners cherish the natural wonders that surround you on all sides. Waterfalls and streams and swimming holes all nearby, but the house is so comfortable you'll be torn between going all out outdoors or relaxing into your own private paradise. Loved every minute of it!
