Low key accommodations but super experience

This was a much older property with shared common spaces. The checkin process and location was not very clear, however, this was undermined by the activities and the restaurant on the grounds which were incredible.

Hemlock #1 was amazing! The only problems were that it was very hard to figure out how to get to in the dark. Parking was an issue for us since I have mobility problems. You have to park above or below the unit and walk to it. That would have been good to know when trying to find it in the dark.

This place is fairly new, it has more than what expected (dishes, soap, detergent, trash bags, refrigerator, microwave, paper towels, kitchen rags, dish washer and even a small stove. It is a modern small house in the woods. :) I loved the location because it is close to all the outdoors activities available and its walking distance from the Nantahala river. It is very quite and secured and worth the money we paid. Unfortunately, I had to lower to 4 Stars because there was no communication from any host or staff, we had to call to check in and find the way to access the facility because no one communicated to us what was the process, we had to wash the towels because we didnt know where to get more, I suggest to management to please add some type of shelf or hooks in the bathroom, The shower doesn't have any reliable hooks or spaces to hold scrubs, shampoo bottles or soap, and also the bathroom sinks have very small counters, leaving us with not much space to place miscellaneous. In the positive side this place was spotless EXTREMELY clean, and that was what stood out the most! Overall the place offers what we wanted, a peaceful and convenient stay. I already told my friends to check it out. :)

Expensive for the condition.

A little expensive for what you get. Definitely was not crowded, so might be time to consider lowering the price.

Loved our family tome

We really enjoyed our stay, the location was great and the cabin was comfortable, however the carpet in the bedrooms is pretty dated and stained. And the floor in the kitchen was sticky. All in all we enjoyed our stay and realize the difficulty of maintenance with multiple guest, so a different floor type could be considered besides carpet.

At first the communication with the company was great very easy payment. When walking into the cabin it smelled terrible like something died in there. It also was so many fruit flies and stink bugs everywhere most alive some dead. Me and my family went to the closest store to get bug spray and candles. As the next day came I tried calling them no one answered the calls so therefore horrible cabin.
