Roaring Creek
Review Submitted: October 8, 2009
Date of Stay: August 2009
The house was very dark. We had to turn on all the lights during the day. There was NO view. The bedrooms were hot with no air movement. The beds need to be replaced. You sleep in a hole in the center of the bed.
The photos were very deceiving.
I would not rent this house again.
Also trying to find firewood was a chore. No notes left on where to find supplies, etc.
Owner's Response: We truly enjoy knowing our guests had a good time at our cabin, and strive to improve upon honest constructive criticism in those areas we can control. Many comforts at the cabin are a result of listening to what our guests want better. Our photos are taken by us, not a service and not enhanced in any way, They are not enlightened nor eskewed to make the cabin look bigger than it is, like many we have seen.
We do not claim to have a view, in fact, both our pictures and description of the house makes no claim of such, nor would a view be possible. We value the peace and seclusion our setting offers. We are surrounded by trees all around, during the summer, the foliage is dense and beautiful. It is peaceful and allows for privacy and enjoying nature. During the winter, when all leaves are down, you can enjoy beautiful sunrises if you wake early. Given the foliage that surrounds the house for most of the year, direct sunlight not filtered through the trees comes during the late morning and early afternoon hours and it is insufficient to make the cabin hot. In fact even during the summer it gets down to the 60's every night. In spite of this, we put, 5 years ago,when we started renting it, air conditioning in the cabin, for yours and others' enjoyment. Additionally, the cabins' privacy, screened in porch and window screens lends itself to leaving your windows open and enjoying the fresh mountain air that surrounds you if you'd rather do that.
We do not claim to provide firewood, never did, never have. Our economical prices, which attract many of our guests, would not allow us to do so, so it is left to our guests. Firewood bundles are however widely available at all gas stations, convenience stores, gift shops and grocery stores and we indicated so to you when you inquired. We do provide you and all our guests with a welcome package, second to none, full of information, which includes in fact a local map, with all non touristy points of interest, like the grocery stores, hospital, movie theater, etc. Much of the info is also contained in our website, so you can plan your trip. Our beds are soft, we have a pillow top in the king bed and both beds have a feather top making the beds even softer. Most of our guests have appreciated it. We have been responsible owners of this cabin for 5 years and count well over 200 guests as our friends.
