Book a McCaysville Cottage

"We stayed 3 nights and had a mix of positives and areas for improvement.Pros: The cabin is very cute and thoughtfully decorated. The heated floors were a great touch, and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes and utensils. We especially enjoyed the outdoor setup. The projector screen with the hot tub and fireplace made for a really fun and relaxing experience.Cons: There were some cleanliness concerns. The shower had noticeable mold, and the towels had a mildew or sour smell even after washing. We also found quite a bit of hair on the towels and placemats upon arrival, along with multiple dead bugs on the floor, so cleaning could be more thorough.Suggestions: Instructions for the AC unit and labeled TV remotes would be helpful.Good to know: This cabin is not secluded. From the hot tub, you can see the neighboring camper, and it is located off a main road, so there is traffic noise at night along with nearby kids and dogs. If you are not looking for seclusion, this may not be an issue. The bed and pillows are very firm, so consider bringing your own if you prefer softer."

"Mattresses are extremely firm. Not filthy but not super clean. Otherwise really enjoyed our stay in the cabin."

"I’m extremely disappointed with my stay. I specifically chose this hotel—and justified paying $440—for the rooftop area and gym, only to find out both were closed with zero prior notification. That alone felt misleading. Unfortunately, the issues didn’t stop there. The cleanliness of the room was unacceptable. There was visible blood on the bathroom wall, and a washcloth had what appeared to be leftover mascara or makeup on it. That is basic housekeeping that should never be overlooked, especially at this price point. I raised these concerns during my stay and requested to speak with a manager, but never received a follow-up. The lack of responsiveness only made the experience worse. Between unavailable amenities, poor cleanliness, and no customer service recovery, this stay did not come close to the standard being advertised. I would not stay here again and would caution others to confirm amenities and cleanliness expectations before booking."

"Good breakfast "

"Beautiful location with both a lodge and cabins on the property. Loved that there was a restaurant located on site. Beautiful glass bottle tree and sculpture in the landscaping. Very friendly staff."

"The cabin was cozy and the perfect place for the two of us to spend and intimate weekend. The hot tub was serene and the swing bed on the porch was the perfect place to enjoy coffee and the sunrise. The Wildlife we saw within feet of the house included a woodpecker family. Squirrel family, 2 deer and a bear during the night walking well below the house. Watching from the safety of the porch was the best part!"

"It was okay"

"Cabin is pretty and views are stunning. Overall, enjoyed my stay. "

"This is a lovely place for a couple to spend a few days reconnecting. When we arrived, we found a clean and stylish cabin with everything we needed for our two night trip. We highly recommend the French Secret. "
