  Wonderful quiet place to land. So much to see and do from this location.
  Cabin has a large great room well furnished. We sat on the comfy porch and watched the sunrise and to our surprise an ELK walked right in front of us, ate everything he could reach on the apple tree and sautered off to the pond and disappeared into the woods!

  Cabin not cleaned very well. One guest found note in bed that read "if you are reading this your sheets have not been changed".There were cobwebs in corners and worms crawling in floor.Porches had leaves piled up in corners. Looked like had not been cleaned from last fall. Had cabin been cleaned I would recommend it. Good location and nice surroundings.

  Mountain Joy Cabins is the perfect place for a family to stay. We rented cabin 4 and took our grandchildren, my sister and her children, and my parents on vacation. This rental was ideal for this multi-generational vacation. The kids had plenty to do. We were able to take them all fishing. The cabin was beautiful and any issues that arose the people at Carolina Vacations was there immediately to fix them. From our cabin porch my grandchildren were able to see Elk, ducks, a crane, a rabbit and her baby. This was truly a dream come true. I see this being our vacation destination for many years to come.

  a guest from White Oak, NC recommends this vacation rental

  We enjoyed our stay, the location was great, close to everything but seemed away from it all. The must have not been inspected before we got there since there were spider webs everywhere, the other complaint was that there was NOT a washer and dryer, I thought there was in the description...maybe was an oversight on my part. There was an issue with the hot water but someone came and fixed it quickly. The property also advertised "with pool"...but it wasn't even open! The other complaint was that grass looked like it had not been cut this year and was very annoying to have to wake thru.
