Walked in the door and fell in love. The inside is so comfortable. The baskets were beautiful. Wish I could have this as my home away from home.Outside the foliage and flowers were beautiful. Loved the porch and porch swing. Driveway was steep, but no problem for my husband. Can't wait to go back! Thank you for having us.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Sugar Cabin this February. It defines what a cozy cabin is. Cabin-style living, dining, and bedroom furniture, and the coziness and warmth of a fireplace that we loved! The kitchen is very modern and has all the cooking and serving pieces needed. Watching the snow on the mountain was priceless! Thank you so much!

Small but good

This is a nice, small cabin. The cabin was very clean when we arrived and getting in was easy. The roads to access the property are good and not too challenging for the mountains. The driveway is steep but short so as long as the weather is good there are no issues there. WiFi worked well and the gas logs were a great addition. The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans if you want to cook, but Waynesville is just down the road if you prefer to eat out. Be aware that this cabin is in a neighborhood, so if you're looking for a secluded place this isn't it. If you don't mind other cabins/houses nearby this is a great choice that we would book again without any concerns.

Magically Peaceful

My wife and I Had a very peaceful and relaxing time at this place. We had been touring the area from Charleston to Columbia to Charlotte and then to Ashville and it seemed like every where we went, it was chaos with the traffic, so coming to this cabin was definitely what we needed to get away from all the noise and bad drivers. This cabin sets in the perfect place if you just want peace and quiet. We watched the humming birds in the morning and enjoyed the fire flies at night. We couldn't have booked the more perfect place. Thank you Maria.

Lovely Property

Spent a long week at Sugar Cabin. Spotlessly clean. Well equipped with quality linens and furnishings. The kitchen has all the basics for cooking. Great porch area, woodsey views, clean bathrooms, wonderful beds and not too far from town. The property manager was very friendly and responded promptly. Would have extended our stay, and did so by a day, but sadly new guests were on the way. The driveway is a bit of a challenge, but just take it slow and you will be fine. Not too secluded but still feels private. There is a horse farm nearby and the horses and riders use the roads so take it easy. There are but four steps with banisters into the cabin so access is pretty good with all rooms on one level. This was great for my new knee. Would rent again.

Great Christmas trip

The cabin was immaculant and exactly as described. Everything from the dishes to the furniture was new and of great quality. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very spacious and the beds and pillows were very comfortable. We loved sitting around the dining table or by the huge fireplace enjoying each other's company. Would definitely rent again!

Vay-cay getaway!

We loved this property, it was perfect for our vay-cay getaway. The property manager was easy to communicate with and very helpful with a request to add an additional night to our stay. We love the area as we’re very familiar with it, the home is perfectly located near many places. My biggest issue is the ‘neighbors’, understandably this is ‘not a concern or reflection’ of the home itself or the property manager at all, but, the neighbors are quite noisy—they talk ‘very loud’ from one house to another, there’s at least 3 dogs close by that bark at all times throughout the day into the early evening and one neighbor down the hill that ruined an ‘entire’ lovely day of weather outside by burning leaves, running a blower and mower all day, even well after dark! So much for serenity... that was my only disappointment here and again, this is not a concern or reflection of the home/manager—just want to be honest with others who may be looking for a peaceful, serene environment around them. The front porch is awesome with a swing and gas firepit... just wish we could have enjoyed it more in peace and quiet. Thank you for the stay bc other than the annoying nearby noises... this is a wonderful home!!!
