The house was clean and staff helpful in our communications. The house has a great view from the top of the mountain.

Amazing view and loved the play area for the kids.

We loved this property and hope to stay again! We hiked to the waterfall that is on the mountain and the house was a great location.

Great location, beautiful view and very clean. Would stay again.

I was so excited about this stay. The pre-check-in communication was great and check-in process was easy. However, the place was dirty. Right after we parked on the gravel driveway, we saw two dog poop piles. Floor was dusty and had dog hair. The couches and second bedroom linen also were lined with white dog fur. The third room with bunk beds smelled musky. My family had to keep that room shut so the smell wouldn't go around the lower floor. I called the office to ask a question and mentioned the cleanliness problem. The lady on the line said, "Oh, sorry." Hot tub was working but black sand at the bottom wasn't inviting so we didn't use it. The place has a nice view, heater worked great, and hot water came out with no problem. Also, it's very quiet. However, the uncleanness of the property turned me off. The day before check-out we lost Wi-Fi and the maintainence person couldn't fix it. We didn't want to spend the second night there so we checked-out that night.

We had a wonderful time at this property! The room for the kids was really fun and the views were awesome! It’s very close to Hawks Nest tubbing. We highly recommend this property!

We recently completed a 4 night stay at Deerwood Retreat and it was a great spot for our two families (including kids and dogs). The views are amazing and the location is great (very convenient to snow tubing, Grandfather Mtn area, etc.). We enjoyed the hot tub and the kids' play area outside. One thing to mention to future renters is that the house is not very well stocked with back-up supplies or basic cooking spices. We could not find any food storage (tupperware or food wraps) and ran out of trash bags, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, toilet paper and paper towels, so we had to run out and buy more. Just a note to come prepared! But other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely visit again!

Beautiful property. Quick communication by owner appreciated.

Nice views, well stocked house. Easy communication with property!

We used the cabin as a wonderful home base for a long weekend for our group in the mountains during peek leaf season. Drove the Blue Ridge Parkway, had lunch in Blowing Rock, and hiked at Rough Ridge Overlook and Beacon Heights Trail one day, hiked at the Emerald Outback, had lunch at Beech Mountain Brewing Co., and rode the ski lift to the top of Beech Mountain for a beverage at the 5506' Sky Bar another day, and did a morning hike at nearby Otter Falls our last day (glad we went early, it was getting crowded when we left). The neighborhood is also fun to explore by foot. While not off on adventures, we very much enjoyed the home's large and well stocked kitchen, the views from the decks and the hot tub next to the outdoor fireplace (though while in the hot tub it is impossible to see the fire, due to the cover's position being in the way). We were pleasantly surprised to find ample firewood left for us, though I'm unsure if that was the property management company or a past renter. The slide and playhouse were also a hit with the 4 year old, as well as the hammock chairs on the lower deck and the dollhouse in the bunk room's closet. Overall, this was a very nice home in a great location, and while we've already rented another property for next year's annual fall leaves trip, this place is definitely on my short list of rentals to consider again for our future needs.

Breathtaking views + everything you need = a lovely vacation

The cabin was perfect for out 2 families. Great location! Saw a mama bear and her cubs while sitting in safety on the back deck!

Beautiful spot!! Incredible views. Absolutely loved the place. Cleaning prior to our arrival was inadequate. Specifically the mess left behind in the oven and refrigerator, pull out sleeper sofa was full of food crumbs, windows and doors smudged. Would like to see cleaning company held to a higher standard. This is an elite level vacation spot…should be cleaned to reflect that. Listing showed hot tub on the back deck looking out on the mountains, however, the tub is now out front near the fire place. Minor correctable issues for sure. You want to rent this retreat!! It’ll change your life for the better. Go get it!!

My husband and I brought our two dogs for a week in the mountains, and we absolutely loved this cabin. The furnishings were comfortable and we had everything we needed for a quiet getaway. We were looking forward to hiking the nearby trails and enjoying the spectacular view from the deck, but it rained (seriously, it monsooned) every day of our stay! So if you guys can fix the weather before our next visit, that would be much appreciated. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay very much. :)

When my family arrived they noticed a mildew smell and the dehumidifier left was completely full (we immediately emptied it). We let that go. Then that night when we went to go to bed my sister noticed her sheets had human and, what appeared to be, canine hair on them. Changing sheets the first night was not ideal. This was gross. The next night we used the oven and there was rotten food sitting in. Since some of it was growing mold it clearly was not recently left. Given we were only there for a weekend we cataloged our issues and tried to enjoy being together. When the hot tub went to be used on Saturday it was noticed that the jets weren't quite covered by the water so they sprayed everywhere which made the hot tub not terribly relaxing. When we brought these issues to the management we were refunded the cleaning and linen fee as those were the only items we could prove and were told we should have told them about each incident we came across. If we had done that I would have only been doing that over the long weekend with family. Warning, if you decide to stay here please check the entire unit as soon as you arrive and take pictures of everything.

It’s at the very top of the mountain. Beautiful views but lots of switchbacks. 2 mile drive to the top takes about 12 minutes but it’s worth it! My kids loved all the games that were available. If you are bringing a dog there is a kennel already there. Wish we would’ve known that could’ve left ours at home. Great trip!!

Great house! Great private location. Amazing views! Fun for all ages. We will be back.

We loved this mountain cabin! Very comfortable and was a great place to relax. We all enjoyed the hot tub and the kids especially liked the bunk bed and fuzball table downstairs. Cabin was just as described. The winding roads to the top are tough. You definitely need 4wd in the snow and ice. We will definitely be back.

The property was clean, except for one little issue, that was promptly taken care of. The view was nothing short of amazing! The drive to the property was quite scary, we live on the coast, (flat) but we didn’t have any problems. You would need chains if dealing with winter weather. We had a fabulous family Thanksgiving and made so many amazing memories. Didn’t do much but cook, enjoy the view and just spend time together, but that’s exactly what we needed. The beds were comfortable, bathrooms were clean, hot tub was amazing. The Kitchen was spacious and nicely updated. I would recommend this property and would definitely stay here agian in the future.

Beautiful and nice

We truly enjoyed staying st this property! The views are amazing. We spent an entire day on the deck watching thunderstorms roll past. We enjoyed the fireplace outdoors for s’mores in the evening and the hammocks and hot tub on the lower level. I saw deer while walking the neighborhood and we loved star gazing at night. The house was clean and very comfortable. We played fooseball too- so fun! We’d come back for sure!

Beautiful and nice

We have stayed there two other times We go for the incredible view. Well stocked with kitchen accessories and has comfortable furnishings except for the master bedroom mattress, it’s awful. Parking is plentiful, but the road up to the 4700 ft level house is challenging, with a narrow road and numerous double switch backs. The view is worth it.

We had a lovely stay over the 4th of July! The cabin’s higher elevation, cooler temperatures, beautiful views, and quiet were exactly what I had been hoping for. (If our young children had “off” buttons, it would have been even more relaxing!) We enjoyed the fire pit, starter set of wood, and the kids loved the play house. After making s’mores, they ran sprints in the road since the house is at a dead end. We also walked our dog around the neighborhood and it was great. Really enjoyed sitting on the deck and the living room furniture is comfy. My toddler loved the dollhouse downstairs and the barbies, as well as the kids books upstairs. Those small extra touches are much appreciated when traveling with little ones. The only real issue we had was the shower in the master was majorly clogged. Turn the water on for a second and water stands in tub- severe. Housekeeping should have noticed this and reported it… if they cleaned the tub. I called Carolina Cabin Rentals and was told someone would be out later in the day and that they would call ahead of time. Neither happened so we gave up and used the downstairs shower. We’re flexible but also paid a lot of money for the rental, so do expect that the rental companies to follow through. As others have indicated, the drive up to the house is steep. Our Honda Pilot did fine but had to work hard. I would be absolutely terrified to try that in the winter! Consider your needs while you’re already out so you don’t have to make a separate trip. While in the area, we enjoyed many fun attractions: Otter Falls hike (just down the street), Apple Hill Farm to see the alpacas and other animals, Grandfather Winery, Grandfather Mountain and the Mile High Swinging Bridge, Waterfalls park (drive up waterfall), driving on the Blue Ridge Parkway, blueberry picking at Snow Farm, Stick Boy bakery, Booneshine, and Bella’s pizza. The Lowe’s Foods is close and convenient.
