The good: location was nice, as you get a nice, woodsy feel at the cabin, but it is located only about 15 minutes from downtown Asheville. It’s spacious and has a good supply of kitchenware and the basics to cook or grill a nice dinner!
The bad: upon departure, the host sent me a very rude message and demanded a $150 check to clean out what he said was a “film of oils” in the hot tub. We used the hot tub twice, and both times were showered and clean, per his directions. It seems as if it’s a bit of a subjective rule for him, and it really dampened our vacation to have to deal with his many offensive messages. So if you still chose to book this place, I’d suggest not using the hot tub!
You can also hear everything going on at the cabin—it seems like there’s no insulation so it’s difficult to sleep when steps, sneezing, snoring, and other sounds sound very loud throughout the house. For example, we had one couple sleep upstairs and the other downstairs, but it sounded like we were in the same room all the time. There was also dust (maybe sawdust/wood?) covering one of the bedroom’s beds, so we avoided that one and thankfully did have to use it.
Overall, do not recommend! Look for a place with a hot tub meant to be used by humans and a host who is a better communicator.
