We had an amazing stay! The cabin is so beautiful and cozy! Truly a magical place. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Thank you for everything! We hope to visit again!

Another wonderful stay at Old Sarum. We enjoyed coffee and the sunrise from the balcony. The view is spectacular!

We have stayed at the Old Sarum for the second time now, and it was another great experience. The place was as pleasant and functional as before, but obviously our previous experience helped us to move around more easily.This time weather was a mix of cold (near freezing) and warm (60) days, but it is easy to control the temperature in the house and for those long chilly evenings a fireplace is readily available. The access road improved a little, but I did not find it too challenging. Still, a AWD/4WD drive will certainly be of help if road conditions are poor, especially in winter.All in all, this is by far our favourite place in the Waynesville area. The house is unique and very spacious, the site is nicely tucked just below the ridge leading up to the Cold Mountain summit, and the views toward the Shining Rock Wilderness with its mountain ridge. The views were absolutely gorgeous, just like before! We're already thinking about a short fall getaway to experience the changing leaves. To be continued for sure!

The cabin was musty, but when you went downstairs to the two bedrooms, there was an awful odor of mildew and even something else. We ran the two dehumidifiers which were in the basement, and even opened all the windows and operated a floor fan to bring in fresh air and try to eliminate the odors. In the three nights we were there, the improvement was minimal. There were also cobwebs in several areas. It has great potential if they can get rid of the odors. The loft and family room were fine and the kitchen had everything we needed. The view was to die for. It was a shame the cabin wasn’t better. If the the basement odors could be resolved, it could be a great cabin. We contacted the owner, Lenny, prior to writing this review. He stated he believed the basement issue was being managed by the cleaning crew and he would take steps to resolve the matter.
