I loved this cabin. I am from Florida and was looking for that log cabin feel, with large windows, away from other properties but still easy to get to and not dangerous winding roads and this property delivered. It is a two story (the baseman is a complete second floor).
Only couple of recommendations:
1) The check-in process should be easier by having the key at the property, consider one of those electronic lockboxes. We had to drive about 15 minutes away from the property to get the key.
2) Have instructions on how to connect to the Sonos speakers to be able to connect the phone (e.g., music) to the speakers. I spent about 1.5 hours (no exaggeration) trying to connect without success and wanted to play some music from my phone.
3) The fireplace has instructions on aluminum plates around the fireplace itself. It wasn't very clear and had to do some hunting for it. Also, if you are not used to dealing with fireplaces, this needs more than just flipping a switch. You need to turn the gas, place into pilot, then turn the manual switch one and then the ignition button. Once you know what to do, it is super easy but figuring out that order took me some time.
4) The gas tank for the BBQ was empty and also spent a lot of time trying to troubleshoot it thinking it was me and only to conclude it was the tank that was empty.
5) The cabin does not have board games and would be a nice touch to have a few
6) Garbage bags were weak and broke while trying to get them out
7) Have a smart TV (for YouTube).
Overall, those few things did not spoil the wonderful time. It snowed while we were there, which was one of our goals to see snow that weekend. It is remote enough where you feel isolated but the drive is safe and close to the highway 40. There is only a hairpin turn to get to the driveway but they gave good instructions with pictures so no issues finding the property. The day we checked out, it was snowed in and we were able to drive our SUV carefully down the snowing slopes so it is do-able if I was able to make it since it was my first time driving on the snow. Take it nice and easy and it is manageable.
Overall, this is a great cabin, the hot tub was turned on and ready for our use. It fits 4-5 people comfortable. Nice jets. Publix and grocery stores are about 15 minutes down the road towards Waynesville. Even though this cabin is in Waynesville, it is not super close to the city center (which is good). You need to plan for a quick drive into town.
