New Stylish House with Modern Amenities + Hot Tub

8/10 Good

"Property in excellent location for Waynesville. Appreciate the number of bedrooms & bathrooms which comfortably accommodated our group. Unfortunately the cleaning was lackluster &sporadic especially the kitchen and bed linens. The owner was responsive, but nothing done as the arrival time so late. Spouse and I cleaned and washed linens. Black sheets in primary bedrooms is off-putting. There is no can opener, serveware, fruit bowl or salad bowl. Previous guests must have served from the pots & pans as there is not 1 large bowl.Access information for property is only received a half hour prior to check in. The key pad lock is a bit wonky. I think if the owner communicated to cleaning service to do a better job and replaces bed linens & pillows, this could be a five star property."
