I booked the cabin for June 2021 as a 5 day trip to explore NC. Firstly the surrounding areas are really nice smoky mountains and the surrounding areas are so nice!
I do feel the photos on Airbnb are quite misleading and do need updating, the outside of the property is quite tired looking, it really does need some updating, especially the outside seating area, the photos make it look as its the house looks out onto rolling hills with horses at the bottom of the field, when in reality to get to the house you need to drive up a very steep hill past what can only be described as a junk yard to then arrive at the house, the horse field ( there where no horses only cows) is at the bottom of the hill, which cannot be seen from the house.
Inside the house is small but big enough for a short stay, it was not clean when we arrived, washing was still in the machine from the previous guest which we dried and put away, a mop bucket was left in the bedroom with dirty water, we could not use the oven as it has not been cleaned for a while, the house was quite dusty and could benefit from a deep clean. The previous guest must have had animals as there was a lot of dog hair, we brought our small dog who does not shed hair, but there was a lot of dog hair on the sofa.
The host was helpful when we had some issues with the trash, more than happy with the host, the house however does need some cleaning and could benefit from updated more accurate pictures
About the area i would highly recommend visiting the Biltmore estate and west Asheville.
All in all, nice short trip but if i could I would have chosen a different property
