Overall great home. Tons of room, which was great. The water pressure on the well system is a bit of an inconvenience, but it was stated in the home the water pressure issue. Otherwise decently clean. A couple of minor house issues, but the cabin rental manager was nice about my report.

Plenty of space for 5 families

My friends stayed here for our annual Tweetsie trip we take with our kids. There were 11 adults and 10 kids ranging from 4 months to 7 years old. We loved the layout of the bedrooms and bathrooms. Each family had privacy and space when needed. The outdoor space is incredible. Loved how we could all sit at that huge patio table together at the same time! There is a grassy area for the kids to run around and a beautiful fire pit. There were some issues with the house that didn't totally disrupt our stay but would want to make sure they were addressed, hence the knock off one star. I contacted the rental company about these. We had a host on call via text and phone who was very friendly and responsive! Perfect location for Tweetsie, Alpine Roller Coaster, Grandfather Mountain, Blowing Rock, Boone, and all the highlights.

Family get together in Mountain Family Lodge

The house was not clean when we checked in. One bed had mold on the sheets and had to be washed before use. There were fluids spilled on the pool table, the stairs, and down the stairway walls that were not cleaned up. Most dishes needed to be washed before use and were in bad shape. We were told that we would have all of the dishes needed to prepare the meals, but there were no pots that were usable for the task. The washer was moldy and had to be bleached before use. There was no vacuum on-site for cleanup. We were very disappointed in the state of the house.

It was a pleasure working with Carolina Cabin Rentals. They were extremely professional before, during, and after the rental was completed. We were able to reach out to a "host" individual that answered all our questions and provided us with immediate feedback when necessary. My three-star rating reflects the rental property itself. The house is beautiful and has tremendous potential. It was obvious some renovations were done to improve this beautiful property. IE: deck repairs, outdoor steps, kitchen ceiling, new bathroom. While the house can sleep 12, quarters will be tight. The whole house needs a major deep clean...even more so considering we are amid the COVID crisis. We experienced a strong musty odor in the meeting room on the second floor. Enough so that we didn't use that room. The furniture should also be updated as it is not comfortable and contain odors and food debris. We detected strong odors in each kitchen. It took a while but we realized those smells came from the PLASTIC garbage containers! Crumbs and dirty stained paper towels were found underneath the bags that lined the containers. The containers were never cleaned prior to our visit. Utensils in both kitchens were worn, warped, or damaged. They all must be replaced to be considered useable. We washed all utensils prior to using them as they did not look clean. Coupled with that problem, is the dishwasher which should be replaced as it did not clean the dishes well at all. One TV separated from the wall mount and hung haphazardly for 36 hours after notification. The light/fan in the upstairs suite was not in working order. The bathrooms contained a build-up of grime on shower stalls and sinks. It's a great house but is out-dated and lacks cleanliness. Future rentals should be halted until these issues can be addressed. It will take more than a "cleaning" individual to do the job. It needs professional cleaning to address long-term neglect. I do hope this review will not be posted for others to view. My intent is not to hurt the owner or Carolina Cabin Rentals. It's to bring light to a problem that can be corrected. If it must be posted, please just use the review of Carolina Cabin Rentals. Thank you. Ginny Alger

Absolutely Amazing!

We came up for our team meeting and had the most amazing time! There were 21 of us and we had plenty of room! We used the back porch more than anything. It is an absolutely beautiful cabin! We could not have been more pleased. We will definitely rent this house again! The only advice I would give is to add some celling fans to the porch to help on hot day ♥️

Family Reunion

We rented both Appalachian mountain Lodge and Mountain Family Lodge for a family reunion. It worked really well for us. We enjoyed the yard space for our family games. On the back patio/ porch there were quite a few broken chairs that were there ..... I wished those had been removed. Overall the place was generally clean, though there was dust in the corners. I would return .......... it was a great space for out family reunion. We all had a nice big area to gather and we also had our own space to go.

Great place for a big family gathering.

We stayed at the Mountain Family Lodge over Christmas. It was great for our multi-generational group. We appreciated the two kitchens for meal prep and some holiday baking. The kitchens were well equipped but we brought along a few specialty items (rice cooker, huge mixing bowls). The surrounding area was full of nice day hikes and the proximity to the Parkway was useful. The only issue was that the pull out sofa in the downstairs living room was not usable for adults to sleep on. It should be replaced or not counted in available sleeping rooms. It was awful. Overall a fabulous stay - the management company brought some pies for Christmas dinner and had a tree already set up. Would consider coming back in the summer when we could use the porch more.

We had a great time. The only thing was the sleeper sofa in the small room downstairs is very worn. The couple that was in this room did not get any rest. It was very uncomfortable to sleep on. Other than this everything was great. There was plenty of room for our large group and everyone was able to have their own sleeping space. Yet it was awesome to have rooms large enough that the whole group could gather and fellowship together. The house was clean and the kitchens were well equipped for large group cooking. Thanks

A lovely home and beautiful setting. All the ladies really enjoyed relaxing, gathering and fellow-shipping together while we were there. The views in the morning were awesome. One recommendation is to update the cushions on the front porch (worn from the weather) and replacing some of the lights to the fire pit (hard to see where to step at night). I would definitely rent this home again and working with Carolina Cabin Rentals was a pleasurable experience.

Home seems to be in a little bit of disrepair

We have hosted our company retreat at this location 3 out of the past six years. We loved it the last time we came in 2017. We still had a great time, and love the surroundings, the field, the trail, the eating area, the firepit and much more. However, it seems that it has not been as well kept as the previous times we've been there. Here is some of what we experienced that might make us rethink where we hold our next retreat: - The showers seem to be increasingly unreliable (no water pressure, long waits for the water to warm) - The attic HVAC unit was leaking through the doorframe of the Hummingbird Room and caused the door to warp so the door wouldn't lock - Cracked countertop - Soundbar downstairs in the entertainment room has been removed (not sure if it was stolen by previous guests) but it should be replaced. We enjoy watching shows or movies down there. These are just a few small things, but they speak to what seems to be trending towards a neglected house. We absolutely love this place and don't want to go elsewhere. However, we may do so in the future. I hope this isn't dispiriting or frustrating for you. it is genuinely meant to give constructive feedback on some steps that can be taken to care for an awesome place. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.

Abundance of Bedrooms

This was a good location for access to Boone and surrounding area. The house was huge with many bedrooms. However, the design felt like multiple additions and the flow of the house was awkward. Both dishwashers need replacing (the top trays fall off of the rollers every time you attempt to use). The grills were both very old and barely functional. The worst part for our group is that the kitchens were separated from the great room and we rented the space for 3 days of planning meetings. If you are just looking for lodging then it will work fine for you.

Guys Weeken

Overall we had a great time. Few comments: 1. Upstairs deck needs work. Also the grill upstairs just needs to be thrown out. It was rotted. 2. Upstairs TV not in HD was not ideal for a group of Dads getting away to watch Bball games. 3. Larger fire pit would have been nice.
