Attention: Active Wildlife in the Area
Our area of WNC is currently experiencing increased wildlife activity, particularly from bears. While it’s a privilege to share our environment with these magnificent creatures, it’s essential that we all take precautions to ensure our safety and theirs.
Please follow these guidelines:
Secure all food and rubbish: Bears are attracted to strong smells. Do not leave food in your car and reattach bungee cords to dustbin lids every time.
Be aware of your surroundings: Stay alert, especially during dawn and dusk when wildlife is most active.
Avoid close encounters: If you see a bear or other wildlife, maintain a safe distance and do not approach.
Travel in groups: When possible, hike or explore with others, and make noise to alert animals of your presence. Keep dogs leashed at all times.
Your cooperation is crucial in maintaining a safe and harmonious environment for everyone. Thank you for your attention and care.

Had a nice stay

Overall we had a nice experience. The cabin was easy to get to, had enough space for our family, and the view was wonderful. We weren't super pleased by the number of dead and live ladybugs within the cabin, a live wasp had to be dealt with, and the cabin could definitely use a deep clean. The best part about renting the Watershed cabin is that there are a few of them bunched together and my extended family was able to rent a couple as well and we could all be close to each other for our trip. "The Yard" was also a great place to hangout and play, and the kids enjoyed the playground.

The cabin had wasps inside

The cabin had a wasp infestation inside which caused us to pack up amd leave abruptly the next morning. I emailed the property manager about the issue with photos and never received a response. Also we never received a pass code to retrieve the keys from the lock box to access the cabin. Had to call the property manager upon arrival to get the code
