When you envision a mountain vacation, this is it! This cozy cabin in the woods is cute as a button. Not too big, not to small, secluded feel, but not secluded at all! There's woodwork throughout, a stone front gas log fireplace, a cozy living/kitchen/dining space plus a sunroom with a wall of windows looking out into the woods. Enjoy the sun-soaked deck during the day and lounging around the fireplace at night! And while it feels secluded, the cabin is on Sugar Mountain, so it is very convenient to all activities, attractions and events.

What's nearby:
Sugar Mountain Resort is just steps away from this condo, where you'll find an outdoor skating rink, snow tubing, mountain bike tours and a full golf course.

Mts. Get away.
The only problem we had was with the digital door locks and getting in the house.. The two key boxes on the right and one on the left was a little confusing. But house keeping came out and explained how to get into the house. There is a faucet in the kitchen that is difficult to turn all the way off. It keeps leaking. Otherwise everything was great.

Disappointing, dirty, dusty, moldy, neglected
Disappointing to say the least. The house has obviously been neglected over the years and the owners have ignored years of feedback from other renters. For starters, there was cobwebs and dead bugs in every room, mold in the bathroom, dried and sticky coffee on the kitchen counter top, and animals in the walls and ceiling. But it was the dust and mold that left us feeling sick. Also, most of the lights didn’t work. Either the switches are broken or the bulbs were burned out. This left the house dark and us frustrated. It had the feel of an abandoned home. I know the owners say to contact the management company but we paid with the expectation that these details would and should be taken care of. Not our responsibility to point out your incompetence. No chance of a repeat stay here.

A lovely little cabin
Very well appointed, has everything you could possibly need. For those of us of the older generation, the steps were a problem, also getting in and out of the deep tub. WiFi connection badly in need of update. We loved the sun porch and we enjoyed the comfortable furniture, including a very comfortable bed. It would be helpful if the owner would write up a guide as to which of the two remotes to be used for the television. We ended up using one remote to turn the tv off and on and adjusting the volume, the other for channel selection. Was confusing, frustrating. We had beautiful weather and we enjoyed touring the area and viewing the colorful leaves. The evening of our arrival we notified Vrbo of a broken arm of bedroom ceiling light. It was repaired the next day. Signs of mildew around the bathtub were a bit disconcerting.

Great Stay
Positives:We loved this cabin—it met all of our needs and is in a wonderful location. We were 10 minutes to grandfather mountain and 15 minutes to Boone! We loved having the options of the living room, sunroom and deck. The inside furniture was super comfy! Slight Negatives: NO AC- although we did very much appreciate the fans located in the rooms, but we had to leave the doors open to get some air flow to feel sticky mid afternoon. And only other complaint was a musty smell in lower level bedroom (and towels were also left in washer and smelled extremely sour upon our arrival)

Could be a great place but...
The location and size of this house are both great. The view out the back of the property is very serene and we loved having our coffee in the crisp morning air on the sun deck. This place could be really wonderful, but...overall, the house was in ok condition and is well overdue for a deep cleaning and some TLC. The is the first rental that we've ever stayed in that didn't feel truly clean (and we've stayed in many over the last 10 years). From the stained white carpet, bugs in the corners of the rooms and window sills, black mold surrounding the master bath/shower, to the cigarette butts and random items stored on the un-kept lower deck, it just didn't feel clean. The pillows all need to be replaced (yuck) and the lack of bath mats beyond the single motel-grade towel on the floor in the bathrooms made this property less than pleasant. There were a few cold nights, but we weren't confident in the cleanliness of the blankets in the closet to dare use them. There was no dumpster on site for the household trash, as other reviewers have mentioned (we looked everywhere and ended up taking our trash to town). We were there for a total of 7 nights, and luckily, there were only 2 of us staying because the overall lack of bathroom towels, decent bed pillows, and extra trash bags would be a real problem for a larger family. The electricity went off multiple times for many hours in the evening/middle of the night while we were there - I'm not sure of the cause, but since this happened in August, I would hate to think of no power on the colder winter nights. We are pretty easy going, so we made due and enjoyed our stay in the mountain air surrounded by the forests, but this is not a luxurious property and the lack of overall cleanliness and care of the property was very apparent. We will definitely consider staying at a different property for our future trips to the area.

Good for a couple or small family
This house has nice, well-equipped kitchen and a lovely sunroom. It was a good size for two people. We spent some time on the small upper deck, but didn’t use the lower deck at all. As other reviewers have noted, the lower level was very damp when we arrived. However, the de-humidifier is very effective it was quite comfortable after about 24 hours. There were a few dead bugs around, but it is a cabin in the woods, after all. This house served as good base for numerous hikes in the area.

Poor property management company.
Nice home. Wonderful setting. No information on how to contact property manager other than email which took 1-2 days for response. No emergency contact information - what if a water piper ruptured? No trashcan outside - the surrounding properties had outdoor trashcans. Had not been cleaned properly. Considering Covid-19, this place needs a deep cleaning. Glad we brought disinfectant wipes. Dirty floors underneath furniture. Don't look underneath the cushions on the couch - food. Cobwebs. Dirty dishes - dried coffee in cups. Shame on Vacasa & on VRBO for allowing them to be associated with you. Been renting from VRBO since 1994 - 1st bad experience. This is the 5th property I've rent through VRBO over the last 5 years. Want my cleaning fee back - seriously. I expect a response from you about this property manager & the lack of cleanliness at this property. Vacasa did not treat us like they would want to be treated.

Perfect Private Cute Cabin
This cabin was perfect for our little family. It felt like our home for the 4 days we were there! My 2 year old loved the floorplan as she could travel in a circular path and visit all the rooms on the main floor. We just loved the panoramic views out back in the large sunroom. We also spent hours just laying in front of the fireplace. We will be back!

Convenient location with privacy
We enjoyed our stay. The price was reasonable for the accommodations. Must point out that this house has no air conditioning. The weather was nice so this was not the issue, parts of the house are very damp and musty smelling. It took a couple of days to halfway air it out. The sun porch and the downstairs just had a maybe pet/damp smell that was somewhat strong. My kids did not want to sleep with the windows open. Otherwise the house was clean. We really spent most of our days hiking anyway. The downstairs bathroom is missing part of the flooring. No mountain views, but privacy to hang out on the deck.
