The entrance of the property is shared with multiple other owners with a chain locked gate. You have to unlock a keypad to retrieve a key to lock & re-lock the gate every single time and you cannot take the key with you.
2 mile loose gravel driveway. Lots of ups and down and windy one lane driving. Takes about 10-15 minutes from where the address/gps drops you off to get to the actual cabin. So if you are planning on traveling to Boone or West Jefferson and you think it will only be 35-40 minutes. Add another 15!
Cabin is NOT kid friendly. Tons of hazards.
Dishes were all dirty or should I say poorly cleaned. Seriously, almost every dish. We washed anything before we used it.
Spiral metal staircase right when you walk in the front door & in middle of living room, for upstairs loft rooms which are NOT enclosed. Could hear every/any sound in the house, floors not sealed off. NO PRIVACY)
BOTH showers extremely small as well as the bathroom space, zero space to actually get ready. The space where the sink is awful. Maybe 2 feet wide.
On top of all of that, the upstairs shower wouldn’t get hot and when the owner called (the house btw not us directly) he wasn’t local to come fix or didn’t want to have someone come out to fix. Instead, asked us if we could attempt to repair ourselves.
IF you are looking for a couples retreat and do not want to leave the cabin the entire time, this place would suffice.
