Secluded Log Home on 10 acres w creek, garden, trails, fire pit, FP, Sleeps 10

There are so many fun things to do near the cabin. Glad your family had a great time! Thanks!

I'm so glad that we could accommodate you @ last -minute in the time you and your family did have! Your wife was already on the road when you called me -- a quick check on scheduling with my manager, then we were able to accomplish the rental process quickly on VRBO so you could arrive that night. Happy that you made full use of Cedar Creek Cabin and enjoyed its amenities and the beautiful surroundings. Hope you will be able to return for a longer time! Best Wishes, Shirley

Thanks for the wonderful comments! It’s nice to “see” my cabin thru others’ eyes. I will be working to improve the internet system again (sigh) as company was great couple years ago. Think they have over-subscribed and quality has lessened now. Happy Anniversary and hope you return to celebrate next year! I’ll have wine and chocolates ready for you again! 😊

Dear Carey, Thank you for your kind comments. I did so enjoy our phone conversations and hope to explore Savannah when I return to the South this winter. We have been blessed with obtaining Cedar Creek Cabin and am glad we can share it with others. Best Wishes, Shirley

I strive to have the security deposit back as soon as I am notified by my manager that the cabin as been cleaned. If there are any damages, I contact the renter, we discuss it and attempt a negotiation or settlement agreement before it goes to the VRBO website. In this case, Manager had texted 3 issues that I forwarded to the renter. I stated that the garbage and taken-apart Hot tub chain were non-issues, but that a mark/stain on the antique coffee table was. The table had been removed from the cabin and had been returned just before her arrival; thus, no other guests. I do not "accuse" anyone without being quite sure that they caused the damage. Unfortunately, the cost to repair was above the deposit.......and I will have to re-evaluate allowing 1 night stays. Many VRBO owners do not. On a positive note, the second review below this one, was from a guest who also incurred damage with nail polish being spilt on wood We were able to resolve this by communicating in an open, honest manner. This is my first less- than -5 star rating, but also my first major damage in my 6 years of renting my cabin.

Thank you, Sharon, for your thorough review! Cell service is intermittent in that area of NC, so the land-lines do cover the area, including Asheville. There is cell phone coverage on the blue-ribboned trail above the cabin if guests want to hike outdoors. I so appreciated our phone conversations and the suggestions you gave me. I am continually trying to improve my RED BOOK of information and will seek that 1 map that can show where everything is locally. I do have a map that does show the short-cut to Asheville now! I hope to contact you when I'm there in the winter for your assistance in obtaining a cast iron skillet from LODGE (your neighbor!) What an excellent plan for the cornbread! Thanks so much, Shirley

Having a mattress topper to make you feel like you are sleeping in your own bed or arranging for an in-home massage as Joe's Anniversary gift to you last year makes me feel more connected to my guests! I love being sent pictures of your time spent at the cabin and so appreciate feedback given. Having done this for 12 years now, I'm still loving to share my home with others-especially guests like you, Sharon & Joe! Thanks for your kind words and hope you'll be back next year!

WOW! Thanks for your great descriptions of everything about the cabin! I do want it to be a wonderful vacation for everyone and work hard to make it so. Especially, Love the communications with my guests! Your return will be most welcomed, Kathy! Thanks!

Unwarranted review! My only mistake was not having a cabin check prior to their arrival and having 2 weeks of leaves on porch and dead bugs/dust/debris collect of floor. I had granted them an early check-in and late check out. When they complained, I offered a full refund. Offered an extra day. I sent and paid for the "bug guy" to return, even though he and my 2 cleaners (before and after their stay) only saw DEAD bugs or none. Camera showed that they left for less than 2 hrs and returned with groceries. Guest just after the initial extermination left a 5 star review and I expect the same from current guests. Angry that they are hurting my PREMIER HOST rating when I've been doing this for a long time.
