10/10 Excellent
"Under new ownership! We stayed in one of the chalets. Very cute place. Perfect for couples. GREAT location! So close to Main St. Waynesville, and a very short drive to Maggie Valley. It is an older place, but has such adorable character and charm! Roomy / spacious. Grounds are in need of minor attention. Renovations are happening. Gorgeous remodeled shower! It would be nice to be able to open the windows, as you feel like you're in a tree house. The shade is wonderful! The sleeper sofa was extremely uncomfortable to sit on long enough to watch a movie, but not something that would keep me away. There is some local traffic noise, but not extremely disturbing. There is a gas fireplace (which we didn't use, out of season). The king bed was nice. A little hard, but not uncomfortable. Our chalet was turned in a way that you felt you had privacy. We viewed the rooms with the rock walls and the look and vibe they give is just charming! I am looking very forward to seeing the upgrades and renovations! They mention new units....! We never had a conversation with a live person, nor did we see anyone. Check in was all done through texts / emails."
