Peaceful, beautiful, and very comfortable!

We loved this pet friendly property! The sounds of the water and the porches surrounded by natural beauty created such a delightful experience for us. The kitchen is so nice and made cooking during our stay a joy!

Much needed quietness

Very lovely place enjoyed so much. My 5yr old grandson enjoyed the little river. Had everything we needed. Only thing we seen that needs to be seen to is the wheelchair ramp is slippery when wet. Our mother couldn't use it.

great comfortable place in the mountains

Enjoyed our 3 night stay here. My 2 grandsons enjoyed the creek and played in it daily! Close to WCU where my grand daughter took us on a college tour for possibly attending after she graduates high school. Also did a kayaking trip down the Big Tuck and a horseback ride. Enjoyed the 3 bedrooms and huge kitchen.

Way out there

I would give a 4.5 but not possible. My only complaint has absolutely nothing to do with home - but its distance from everything. Home was delightful and a good choice if you just want peace and quiet. We were checking out the area, and the distance from everything made for a lot of extra travel

Great family vacation!

My family and I stayed in this home for a little over a week, and we will definitely be returning! It was so peaceful, with lots of shade and the sound of the creek flowing. The firepit was great; the neighbors were friendly, and there were several amazing hikes within a mile of the house. The house is nice inside, with an updated kitchen and great water pressure in the bathrooms. Be warned that it is very rural, so expect to drive about 30-40 minutes to get groceries. The internet is very spotty, so if you need to work online this is not the place for you. We brought our poodles, and they had a blast playing with the neighbor's dog. The creek was amazing, but there isn't a safe spot to get down for kids. My husband had a great time playing with rocks, though! Overall, this was a very peaceful vacation.

Great vacation

We had a wonderful stay. The property is very nice and true to the posting. Amenities made you feel like you’re at home. The neighborhood dogs were a surprise. We had one friendly dog that stayed at the house the entire weekend. Luckily he was extremely sweet and good with my dogs. The drive into town is long but is not difficult at all. We hated to leave and will definitely be coming back.

Disappointing

I was asked to rate the house from Vacasa from a one to a five. It is a two. Refrigerator was filthy as it has hair and food residue inside. Coffee pots were filthy as they had mold, and had to be scrubbed and cleaned. Hair in guest bathroom sink, and mold in guest bathroom shower. Inside oven was coated in grease and food. The guest bedroom sheets were not laundered, and we had to wash them. Very disappointed with the lack of cleanliness. No tv remote to turn on tv either…. No place to put garbage as cans were full and not emptied. Called Vacasa several times and management never responded.

Great Cabin with Beautiful Creek

We really enjoyed our stay here! The home was just as listed and very well equipped with anything you could need! The only cons were it is a little further out than we expected but that wasn’t too bad. The internet was tricky at times but ended up being fine. Not a con but so the property managers know there is a mole problem in the yard that probably needs to be addressed. Thank you!

Gorgeous Location

The purpose for my rental was a family funeral in the area. I was extremely pleased with area and the home. The best part was the gas grill as we enjoyed eating out on the back deck. Would stay here again if we are ever up in the area again. Very peaceful. I will note that the property is up on the mountain 8.9 miles but the drive is beautiful.

Woodsy and lovely

We had a wonderful time staying here! From the detailed “vacation guide” filled with helpful tips and recommendations to the creek right outside to the front door, to the beautiful kitchen and the feeling of “home”, our expectations were fulfilled and exceeded! Such a lovely home! And the GSP touches were especially heartwarming (we have owned 2 ourselves and seeing the photos around the house brought tears to my eyes).

Cullowhee cabin

This home was perfect for my family of 3 plus 1 labrador. We enjoyed the stream sounds through the front yard and the remoteness of the property. That said, the location is quite far from the local sights and scenes so plan to get your snacks/food stocked up as needed.
