Spacious house for a larger group
Anonymous from Jamestown, NC,
Stayed 3 days ending October 2024
The house was great for our group of 5. We all had our own space and the mai living season were very adequate for a larger group.
The kitchen was stocked ok, but we were missing a few items that would have been nice to have (lighter, larger mixing bowl).
Cleanliness of the house could use some improvements. There were lots of areas it was appeared had not been cleaned. Floors were dirty, bathroom towels were not consistent with the beds, no trash bags in bathrooms and a huge amount of trash had been dumped down the mountain off the driveway.

Thank you for your review. We will be taking care of the trash and also checking on the cleanliness of the propert.
Great house & location. Amazing views. Some items not addressed

Fantastic house. Convenient location. The views from the deck were incredible. There were a few details that could have been addressed. Handle on freezer door was broken Iwe fixed it). Dirty towels were left in one of the closets. Glitter, confetti, sequins were stuck in the rugs and on the floor.

Best Annual Family Trip!!!
Patricia M. from Winston-Salem, NC
Stayed 3 days ending December 2023
This was our second year renting from Carolina Mountain Properties & Rentals and I would not want to rent from anyone else in the West Jefferson area. Everyone is their office is so helpful and friendly-best customer service ever! The property was beautiful and perfect for our family of 7. The location was close to downtown and the views from the house were gorgeous! The house was immaculate upon our arrival. We will definitely be back.

Better then the pics displayed!
Michelle S. from Royal Palm Beach, FL
Stayed 4 days ending March 2024
This place was better than we could have imagined. Breathtaking views. There was PLENTY of space for our family of 10 and the beds were comfortable and large. There were 3 tvs and a nice bar area. Check in was easy. The arcade was awesome- kids and husbands loved.
They had a fire pit area, a small climbing dome for kids and a little creek that ran through the well secluded property. We stayed March 16-21, and it was around 20 degrees with snow flurries but the tubing places had all pretty much closed for season. We went to Linville caverns, waterfall park, wilderness run alpine coaster, and elk river falls- all about an hour away.
Past reviews stated there was a pack n play for a small child, we didn’t see one.They did have a ball pit, a nugget couch, a high chair,a few extra warm clothes, a stroller and sleds downstairs.
Make sure to read trash directions! As well as look over departure checklist the day before you leave. The cabin was well stocked with essentials with the exception of coffee.
Would absolutely stay here again!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your recent stay at El Cabitan. This home offers plenty of space for large families. Most snow tubing places close the first or second weekend of March for the season. We do hope you will stay with us again.

A Must Mountain Retreat!
Ann T. from Charlotte, NC
Stayed 3 days ending July 2022
We loved this property! It was well stocked and had so much room for our large family stay! The children loved the arcade games and ping pong in the basement! Hot tub was awesome! Views from the covered porches are beautiful! Fire pit made a great spot to roast marshmallows for our Samores! 10 mins to the sweet town of West Jefferson! We highly recommend!!

Fun getaway with friends
Anonymous from Concord, NC
Stayed 2 days ending July 2023
El Cabitan was a wonderful place to stay! It felt secluded even though it wasn't too far from all the fun things West Jefferson has to offer. The home was clean and very spacious! We loved playing the games on the bottom level, enjoyed the hot tub and fires in the firepit outside. We had dinner out on the porch one night which was amazing!!! Great views! We will definitely be back to El Cabitan!
Manager Responded on 8/8/2023
We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay in El Cabitan. While the home is near to town, it is tucked away on the mountain with privacy. We do hope you will stay with us again!
Great vacation home for multiple families!
Tara C. from Chapel Hill, NC, US
Stayed 3 days ending July 2023
We had such a great time in West Jefferson! There were 3 families, 11 people who stayed at the house. We were all surprised how spacious it was. Honestly- the pictures do not do it justice. It was so large and family friendly! Would absolutely rent again!
