Great Get Away
Pros: ☆Beautiful unit overall ☆Extremely responsive owner ☆Very accurate advertising ☆Easy check in process Opportunity Areas: ☆Water conservation requirements should be included in advertisement or disclosed while in refund period ☆Couch in main living room needs to replaced or swapped out with the one in the basement. It has no support. ☆Cleaners could have done a better job with the details. Examples: Refill soap dispensers with soap not water, provide at least one or two full replacement rolls of tissue, make sure hard surfaces are wiped down thoroughly and completely make beds (for some reason top sheets were left off beds and left folded on top of comforters). Overall, this was a good experience and would easily give it 5 stars if the minor opportunities listed above were corrected

Very nice getaway
We had a lovely stay at the cabin. The communication with the owners was great. We travelled from Florida with our foreign exchange student from Finland and she was in awe of the views as she said she had never seen mountains like that back home. We were able to see lots of deer and feed them some corn in the mornings. The cabin was comfy & well stocked with supplies. I would recommend this cabin for families or couples looking for a nice getaway.

Great Get Away Chalet
I would highly recommend staying @ Juan's place. The place had everything you need on a vacation. The kitchen was fully equiped with everthing you might need & in good working order. Linens provided were adequate. The feeding of the deer with corn that was provided was a special treat for the children. I will be staying there when we come next year for our family reunion.

Perfect Experience
We had an excellent experience! In fact, I have no suggestions on how anything could have been better. A great setting with deer everywhere, peaceful and quite. A lovely cabin with everything furnished and plenty of room. Great wrap around decks to hang out and watch the turkey and deer. We hated to leave and want to go back.

Clean and functional
Property was very clean, perfectly functional for our long weekend for a local wedding. The attention to detail, labels around the house and the welcome manual, were much appreciated. Be aware of 2 things: 1) you'll get a notice about well water for the home being potentially limited, with a list of suggestions to minimize use of water. It was not an issue for my husband and me, but could be for a group. 2) the security camera has two way listening - hopefully the owners are only using the visual to monitor outside, but the camera is indoors AND capable of hearing sound nearby. Lovely stay, communicative hosts, would rent again.

Breathtaking and Charming home with a wonderful view! My son and I wanted to stay, we definitely will be back! Next time I will bring my own cookware, utensils etc. Other than that it was perfect. Great neighborhood and friendly neighbors. Quiet and peaceful. Juan provides extremely detailed instructions on how to access the property.

A comprehensive review of the Mountain Getaway Chalet
Check In/Check Out: this process was contactless and streamlined. There were no hiccups that we experienced. We are used to checking in by 2 or 3pm and out by 11am, whereas this cabin has a designated check-in time of 4pm and check-out time of 10am. We didn’t like those times at first. You will receive a Welcome Letter from the owner 1-2 days before your check-in and then a check-out letter on the last day of your stay. Owner was available by VRBO app and also provided his cell phone number. Location: We love having cabins in the country side. We love traveling back roads and feeling secluded. This cabin allowed us those things. This cabin is in a very rural area, but it was easy to find. The neighborhood was quiet and clean. The nearest Walmart/Ingles was about 40 minutes away. There are no real “attractions” in the area. Cleanliness: I would give this cabin a 3 of 5 stars. While it was not ‘dirty’, this cabin would benefit from a deep cleaning. We usually re-wash the dishes before using them only as a precaution, but in this cabin doing so was required. Bedrooms/Bathrooms: This cabin is listed as 5 bedrooms, however, it has 4 true bedrooms and then a sofa bed in a sitting area on the lower level. There are several beds in one of the rooms on the lower level - this would be perfect for a group with several kids staying. This probably won’t be a big deal to most, but there’s only one bedroom that has a TV - it is the master bedroom/king bed on the loft. Our family has a couple that only sleeps well with a TV playing during the night, so this changed up our sleeping arrangements just a bit. There are 3 total bathrooms. The bathroom on the main level has a walk-in shower, which was nice for my elderly grandparents. This would also be semi-handicap accessible. There is a seat in this shower as well. Hot water was not an issue for our family, though we did try to space out the showers each morning. Kitchen: There are plenty of utensils to use. There is a dishwasher and a touch less faucet. There is ONLY a Keurig and no traditional coffee maker, so be prepared if your family loves coffee like mine! There is at least 1 security camera in the home facing outward. This was disturbing to some of our group. Just a heads up! This cabin had wonderful outdoor seating.

Piney Creek Thanksgiving
We decided to start a new Thanksgiving tradition and head to the mountains. We found this perfect and super affordable cabin that fit all of us. We had plenty of our own space as well as plenty of family space. We enjoyed our Thanksgiving meal and the kitchen was stocked well. Also we enjoyed the outside time and the deer.
