Beautiful cabin with all the amenities!
This cabin was gorgeous. Not only was it spacious, it had all of the amenities we were hoping for including the hot tub, pool table, and fire place. Booking was easy, and staff checked in with us throughout stay to ensure everything was going well. We would definitely stay here again.
Very nice cabin for a long weekend with friends. The hot tub was the perfect way to wrap up a day of hiking. Very spacious! The hotel style toiletries is a very nice touch.

Nice home.. great location
Lots of room.. good location.. driveway is very steep.. house could use freshening up.. and a deep clean
Lovely home. We had a group of 8 family members. The house was spacious, comfortable, and met our needs well. It was very clean and as expected from the information provided in advance.
Beautiful and spacious home in a lovely setting. Plenty of places for eight of us to be together or spend some quiet time alone. Would have liked to have more patio furniture for us to sit outside and more bath soap or bath and hand soap
Great location and property. Housekeeping and property manager needs to up their game making sure all areas are clean and all amenities are operational.

Beautiful House & quick repairs
This house was beautiful and the location is great. There were lots of small issues around the house that if repaired would make staying there with many adults (we had 7) easier. The major repair was made while we were there and the service was quick and the serviceman super respectful. Not bad for a long weekend.

Great house in Sugar Mountain
Great space, nice furniture, great location to hiking and the local towns. Would stay again as long as I didn't need the wifi. Our group of 7 had challenges connecting to the wifi. I work remotely and it was frustrating but I used my hotspot. However, I wanted to be on vacation and not need the wifi, so without that issue, the house was wonderful!
We had family come from all over NC and central TN to hike Grandfather Mountain at my 74-year-old aunt’s request—she wanted to do it one more time. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate (it rained much of the weekend). But we had a great time. The house was large enough to spread out, the kitchen table was perfect for playing cards, the game room was a big hit, and the hot tub was so relaxing. My 2 year-old grandson loved the giant legos! The house was clean and had what we needed. The only issues we ran into were with the large coffee pot (the water wouldn’t drip into the carafe whe using the plastic basket), the kitchen faucet (the magnet that holds the faucet in the holder appears to be gone, we tied it in place), and the lock to release the deadbolt wouldn’t work when we tried to lock the front door at checkout. After a quick call to Vacasa we were able to get the key from the lockbox and lock the door. All in all, these were only minor inconveniences and we had a great time!
The house and location was great with a few maintenance issues with help from the property manager except, “we will send someone over to check it”. The main bathroom facing the front door didn’t lock, which was an issue with four children under 9. The kitchen sink facet was made to stretch around like it was on a spring. The clamp to hold it in place was broken. We finally had to tie it with a string. We wrote a note to the property manager shortly after we arrived and talked with them twice. It was never fixed. The bathroom lock turned out to be a real issue to the point of adults not being able to use it. Again, let me say again, the house itself was great.
We had a great time and the house was just as described. The driveway is very steep and people should be warned that they at least need all wheel drive to get out in the winter time.
Geat property with awsome views. Other than some hot tub issues everything was pertect. Parking was a little tricky (steep driveway) but we managed fine.
Everything was as advertised, thank you to the reviews for telling us how steep the driveway was so we weren’t surprised. The space and amenities we needed. Excellent customer service. Any question or request I had was answered in a timely manner.

Stunning
This house is stunning! We absolutely loved the space and will be back!
Everything was fantastic. The space was very accommodating for our group. We would certainly book again. The space is very open and great to feel apart of a group the entire time. There was also enough space to separate out into smaller groups for games and relaxing. The hot tub was perfect. Clean and cozy. The beds were comfortable. We wish there had been more trash bags provided as there was only what was in the trash can and we hadn’t considered having to bring our own. There was also enough towels for us by basically the exact number. It would have been nice to have had more since there was a hot tub.

Beautiful mountain property!
Loved how spacious the home was. We had 7 people and at no time were we in each others space (unless we wanted to be).
Great home and very close to the mountain. The driveway was very steep so we got stuck at the house for a few hours when the driveway froze. Other than that we loved the home and the space.
It was not as expected The house was very dirty outside and inside. The dishes in the kitchen, skillets and pots were very oily and not cleaned. Spider webs, and lots of leaves on the porch. On the second floor clogged sink. The sitting benches in dining room were stained. The ground floor had very bad mouldy smell. The couches had crumps on them. Just overall not very pleasant. We had guests and it wasn’t a nice experience. House needs some deep cleaning and some love.
The oven was replaced with a new induction type and there were no pits to use at the house. It only used a certain type of pot and there aren’t any there.
