Great, comfortable stay!

Overall we had a wonderful stay at Hummingbird Haven. The cabin is comfortable and quaint and the proximity to the lake was great. There were some minor maintenance issues, though. We could not get the chimney flue completely open, so we had to squelch our fire earlier than we wanted to because of smoke. The super-squeaky pocket door to the upstairs bedroom meant that if one person woke up, the other person's sleep was disrupted. The lights in the entryway did not seem to work. Other than that, all was good and we'd happily stay there again.

Lovely Old Lake Home

We enjoyed our stay. The home was very spacious and the yard well kept. Definitely would recommend for large family gatherings! There was a very small public access beach within a short walk out the back.

Beautiful property within walking distance to the lake. If you are a nostalgic person, you will love the décor. Took me back to when I was a kid. My friends and family had a wonderful stay. Yes, that's good no.

Sinus Infection Cottage

Update from previous review where I noted the amount of mold and dust in the cottage, 3 of the 4 people that stayed in this cottage developed sinus infections in the week and a half after our stay. Do not recommend

Cottage was very dusty and dated. Lots of dead bugs on the floor throughout the house. We walked through a number of spider webs inside the home when we first arrived. The carpet on the main level looks like it is the original. The whole family was very congested from staying in the mold and dust filled cabin for the weekend. On the bright side, the landscaping in very pretty and the location next to the lake is great.

Disappointing

This property had 5 remotes and 1 working TV. Then only one person can take a shower in an hour because after about a minute the water is cold and it took about an hour to reheat so the next person could shower. All the furniture is outdated. The heating units in each room all had individual remotes but the one next to bottom floor bathroom never came on.. been there since Friday and it never worked. The stay itself was fine… the amenities just were not what I expected. I am a travel agent and I have never experienced this ever. My family was disappointed with not being able to go in their private rooms and watch tv before going to sleep.

Not a bad stay

Very clean and homey cabin. Love the old wood furniture. Carpet could use some attention. Hot water tank may need service. Took forever to warm up after turning tank temp up. Only lasted about 15min. Could not support all rooms being occupied. Chimney may need a good cleaning. After opening flue, smoke still pored into cabin. Had to open back door to create a better updraft. It would have been nice to have heat on a low setting for our arrival. We arrived at the cabin late at night and it was freezing. Took a good while to warm up. Would stay again as it was a good price and good location.

Celebration of Life

Location was perfect for our needs. Lifelong friends have a house just down the road that we have been visiting them at since 1997. We were there for a Celebration of Life. The house is just a little dated and landscaping a bit overgrown.

Nice house near the lake

The house was nice. The microwave did not work and the hot water heater was not able to provide enough hot water for showers of ten people. Sundog staff brought us a replacement microwave. Sundog also was very responsive to our needs. We enjoyed the house and the lake neighborhood.

A relaxing stay at a retro classic Airbnb

I was a bit skeptical when I read the review about the house being dated. However, I was pleasantly surprised and delighted about the condition and cleanliness of the house. Instead of dated, I would say the house is retro classic, like a movie set straight out if That 70's show. We enjoyed our stay there thoroughly and would recommend it to our friends.

The home was very clean. However, the hot water supply line was turned off and it took us some time to locate the issue. Other than that we loved the big stone fireplace and deck.

Retro but fine!

Hummingbird Haven was pretty retro-decorated and they could use nicer bedding. They need to upgrade, but it was very clean and acceptable for laying our heads. Don't be bringing a large SUV into the driveway! :-/ Very thin!

House was spacious and clean

House was large and clean If I owned it I would update furnishings flooring and kitchen Important for manager. Coffee pot is not working. There are numerous bats in ceiling of carport which leave way too much droppings on your car. And the ground of car port is has two places covered with bat droppings That being said It is a very nice stay considering the low rent

Clean convenient Glenville location

This house suited our needs almost perfectly. It’s certainly not modern: but it is clean, affordable, convenient, and comfortable. Located on the east side of Lake Glenville this house has easy access to Highway 107 in the town of Cashiers. It’s also only about one minute away from a Great local restaurant Happ’s Bar and Grill; and about five minutes or less to Signal Ridge Marina. It has a nice, usable deck, half of which is undercover; with a limited view of Lake Glenville. It would probably be advisable for the owners to replace the charcoal grill with a gas grill.

Beautiful and worth it!

So we had a really great time at hummingbird haven and the hummingbirds really were so cute! The house was really cozy and immediately made you feel right at home! There were TVs but with so many outdoor activities that was close you definitely dont want to stay inside. Also one thing that you'll want to know that even though there was no air in the home be8its close to the lake it was always pretty cool and their were plenty of fans in case you needed them but the downstairs was definitely already pretty cool! The company is definitely helpful if you need any help and very nice! The neighbors were actually really really nice and gave us lots of ideas and places to go and visit while we were there! I definitely recommend and make sure you follow the directions to get there your gonna need it and its SO worth it! Had a great time! 10/10!! Management Response: Thank you for your feedback! We would be happy to host you again!

We had a great time. The only issues were numerous burned out lightbulbs and one of the sliding screen doors has broken rollers. Neither was of any consequence and we had a great stay.

BRIEF STAY / needs AC in the summer AND THANK YOU

I booked for a 2 family gathering w/ pets. No-one wanted to come w/ out AC and I forgot to cancel. A kind friend came along. I brought 3 small portable AC machines and thanks to those we slept well . We also brought fans...It's a good size house w/ all the space we might have needed. We watched 2 movies on the tv roku. We decided to travel north the next morning just to uncomfortable. The carpet was clean yet wonder why one has carpet w/ pet rental... the linens under bedspreads were fine. bedspreads very worn and sofa too. We too a quilt and put it over the sofa...It just felt cleaner then... We're not prissy spoiled people. Just accustomed to not having to sweat all the time. A better choice for cooler days. a lovely large fireplace and well stocked kitchen. We timed it wrong and unfortunately no refund so we tried it out. Maybe with the extra funds we paid for days unused they'll consider installing AC I believe it would pay off.
