Made Memories

Spent a week with two of our five grandchildren. Lots of fun and the house had everything we needed and more! The private pool was awesome with steps around part in the water for the little ones to sit and play. It is also close to beach. Had 2 grills which we used 3 nights. Would highly recommend!

Great Cabin

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Easy access to Smoky Mountain National Park and all the great little towns around Sylva. Wonderful views from both levels of the deck. Very quiet neighborhood. Cabin was very clean with nice amenities.

Good time for a big family

First of all, a first-rate view of the surrounding mountains . Plenty of accessories available for kitchen, sleeping, and bathing. Really enjoyed the hot tub. Groceries, nice parks especially for the kiddies, tubing and rafting close by, not to mention Biltmore and Cherokee

Girl's weekend Getaway retreat

We had a wonderful time enjoying the beautiful waterfalls and relaxing in the very comfortable and roomy "Altitude with Attitude" mountain home! The beds were comfortable, and kitchen was well stocked with essential cooking items. the check-in process and check-out process was simple. Lovely towns of Sylva and Dillsboro were perfect - got nails down and hiked and played games. A Great place for us - thank you for your hospitality.

Couples Valentine’s Weekend

Absolutely loved the cabin and the amenities offered. The privacy for our three couples was great but had awesome fun in the common areas. We grilled, enjoyed the balcony and fire pit. We would suggest a Keurig and new mattress for the king bed. Everything else was top-notch! Would definitely refer and may very well be back!

Great stay

House was beautiful, loved the sauna and hot tub. We were extremely comfortable, and there was everything we needed there. I only wish the check in process had been clearer, I did have to write several times to figure it out. Also, other reviews have mentioned the driveway - we thought our SUV would make it up, but we couldn't get all the way up. It was fine, we could walk, but just keep it in mind!

Not the easiest route to the top. The view was spectacular! The house was a little outdated and windows needed cleaning. Bring your own toilet paper!

Family fun.

We enjoyed our stay at Altitude with Attitude. House was clean, overall. I just wish windows, fans and under couches were a concern to homeowners. Looking out the windows at that beautiful view would be so much better if dirt wasn’t all in the corners of the windows. Good amenities, good space, great view!

Perfect weekend

Everything was great! Yes the driveway was steep but we expected and it and everything was good to go. I love that this house had some of the staples for the kitchen already there. The little things you may forget and leave at home. The home was comfortable. THE VIEW WAS AMAZING. There was plenty of room for everyone and everyone had a great time!

Great views, very nice house

I must say this house does have ATTITUDE, and a mighty good one! The views were fantastic to wake up to every morning! Loved the deck and spent a lot of time around the fire table! Watch out for the driveway! It is STEEP! Can't imagine how you'd get up there in the snow, but when you do, it'll be worth it! This is the kind of house where if you don't enjoy it, it's your own fault!

Beautiful scenery. Morning & night what a spectacular view.

The lodge was awesome! Plenty of room for everyone. Only problem was the driveway. We expected narrow one lane winding roads but getting up hill to park was a challenge. We were a group of seniors & the stairs to the basement & upstairs were tricky. (Only due to our age) i highly recommend this lodge to the tounger generation. The beds were extremely comfortable. Cant mention enough about the Mountain views.

Steep Hill

The place was very clean lot's of space. The home came with Board games, fool's ball amd ping pong table, tv's in main spaces not bedrooms, books to read, fire pit, grill, sauna, jacuzzi, washing machine, dryer, dish washer. The only problem was that dam steep hill!! Be forewarned it's super dark and no lights once you get into the are of the house. One of our cars couldn't make it up the hill at all. The other made it half way, but this was during the night where we couldn't see. Had to drive up backwards. Other than that the place is very very nice!!

Beautiful Views

This property is amazing and secluded at the top of the mountain. It is very clean and has beautiful views. We loved spending time on the the awesome deck with our group of six. The house has plenty of room to spread out and very comfortable. We had two minor issues. The smart lock was not working when we arrived and had to call Vacasa to get in with lockbox. We ended up using lockbox for the entire 7 days. Also, for a stay of 7 days, there is not enough provided items such as toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo, etc.. and we had to make several stops to stock up. Other than these minor details this home was great. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful view but bugs everywhere in the house.

The home has a beautiful view from the front porch. It is close to town for shopping. There were ladybugs and stink bugs everywhere in the house. They were getting in somewhere. No screens on many upstairs windows. We called the management company for help with that and to let them know there was no coffee maker. They said someone would come by to bring one and see about the bugs. No one ever came and no one ever checked back in with us. We bought our own coffee maker and cleaned out bugs all weekend.

Authentic log cabin!

Beautiful cabin on a hill with a beautiful view. Our children loved the ping pong table in the garage and the extra seating area downstairs. Beds were super comfortable and the cabin was very clean. The starter/hotel sized shampoo/conditioner/soap was a great bonus. Would be 5 stars except for a few things- the driveway is VERY steep. It is paved, but would be impossible in ice/snow and dicey with rain. The true ‘log cabin-ness’ of the place includes wooden floors, walls, and ceilings. This is awesome, but not very sound proof- it was loud and if anyone was walking above your bedroom, you weren’t sleeping. Think Mast General Store floors. Small issues for an beautiful cabin. We’d likely stay there again- in the summer!
