This place is super popular with tourists and for whatever reason, silver-haired Land Rover Defender owners who appear to cross-country those buckets some how. Anyways back to the cabin things. These are not secluded cabins in the typical sense but these are cute little cabins (in the physical construction sense) literally ten feet off a cery busy and centralized road that connects Weaverville and Asheville. They are very overpriced for what you end up actually getting which is not much. However if you do end up staying make sure you ask for one of the small one bedroom cabins as those are actually historic preservation listed buildings and are super cool and cozy and clean but if you stay in some of the larger house like lodgings they offer you won't be very impressed it just felt like a hotel that wasn't updated since 1982. But the small one bedroom ones have a cute patio and are actually cabins. The showers are dark and dingy and the toilets are cramped seeings as when they were built in 20s they originally had out houses and literally had to add a bathroom to a room that can only fit a bed. If you want a nice cozy place to get away from typical hotels and are staying by yourself you will enjoy the small historic cozy one bedroom cabins but if you're looking to make this one of the attractions for the family don't do it. The owner and employees are very nice but they leave you to your self mainly and aren't there after sundown. The thing that surprised me most was for such a dark and dusty room how clean and comfy the bed actually was. No bed bugs no stains clean towels no funky smells WiFi TV...
Read moreI really wanted to like this rustic get-away, but had a hard time dealing with the lack of cleanliness and the inability to use the amenities. The shower was not usable for several reasons, chief among them was the unevenness of the floor and the lack of tile and grout around the drain. The stack pipe in the shower had a nasty-looking leak that may have been waste or sewer leakage. There was mildew on the soap holder as well. Both the bath mat and the shower mat were obviously not washed after a previous guest’s use.||||There were rodent droppings in the kitchen and some enterprising rodent actually made a nest in the silverware drawer. Pots and pans were well-used and needed to be cleaned before we could use them. Dishes were a hodge-pogo of remnants left-over from a yard sale. A trip to Dollar Tree could go a long way to making the kitchen more inviting.||Rustic hardwood floors still need to be cleaned… a broom and dustpan in the corner of the living room invited the guest to do some cabin-keeping of their own.||||The WiFi signal was spotty at best. The cable TV remote didn’t work and the volume on the TV wasn’t adjustable. It was either low or lower. A maintenance person was able to get the remote working, but the TV volume could not be adjusted.||||On a positive note, the bed was comfortable and linens were clean.||||We will not be returning to these cabins, despite the friendliness of the manager. She commiserated with us regarding our complaints, but wasn’t able to do much...
Read moreOverall, we were satisfied. If you use a hotel to just sleep and shower, this is the place. The price compared to other places in Asheville matches what you will experience. Arriving after office hours, your key is outside their door. I suppose they have never had security problems with that or they wouldn’t do it. The door to our cabin required two hands to open – one for the deadbolt and, at the same time, one for the knob – which was sometimes inconvenient. Their pictures make the rooms look larger than they are. Everything was clean. There was plenty of hot water. I don’t see how a big person could use the small toilet in its small space in the small bathroom. But they certainly had to make a bathroom with the space they had once outhouses stopped being a thing there. The sink is in the bedroom, with too little shelf space for your stuff. We ended up using the kitchen sink and counter space since we weren’t cooking. The TV’s maximum volume was too low to hear well. They seem to be in the process of replacing lights with bright LEDs only when one burns out. So it was a bit dark. They don’t provide tissues or paper towels (even with a full kitchen). Extra blankets, towels, etc. are in a closet in the...
