Wonderful Stay
We had a lovely stay at Old Sarum. It's a great place to stay to hike Art Loeb, and the porch is perfect for watching the sun come over the mountain while having a cup of coffee. It was clean and had everything we needed. The water tasted great. The ruts in the road are a bit deep for a sedan, but we made it just fine by keeping one side near the middle.

Beautiful views, terrible odors downstairs
The cabin was musty, but when you went downstairs to the two bedrooms, there was an awful odor of mildew and even something else. We ran the two dehumidifiers which were in the basement, and even opened all the windows and operated a floor fan to bring in fresh air and try to eliminate the odors. In the three nights we were there, the improvement was minimal. There were also cobwebs in several areas. It has great potential if they can get rid of the odors. The loft and family room were fine and the kitchen had everything we needed. The view was to die for. It was a shame the cabin wasn’t better. If the the basement odors could be resolved, it could be a great cabin. We contacted the owner, Lenny, prior to writing this review. He stated he believed the basement issue was being managed by the cleaning crew and he would take steps to resolve the matter.

What I needed in my time of need
We had this trip scheduled for awhile unfortunately my significant other Christy had passed away two weeks before from metastatic cancer and a heart attack. Had two groups of friends that went with me. Best get away I ever experienced. Been nicer views of trees trimmed down and had a.c. But overall it was a 10 out of 10. Nice quiet and peaceful. It let us honor her passing in a way I didn’t know I needed

Beautiful
The moment we walked into the cabin my grandchildren fell in love. The view is amazing the deck the primary focus. We were comfortable, and felt very safe and secure. As my youngest granddaughter stated ‘best vacation ever’. The only qualm was the drive up the mountain which was tricky in some places. But for a beach gal it soon became doable. Thank you for the opportunity to stay in such a beautiful home.

Beautiful location!
Beautiful property...the view from the deck is magnificent! If you like solitude, it was very quiet and removed from any traffic or distractions, but was not inconvenient to Waynesville, which we like. Lenny was helpful and quick to respond to questions. Our only criticism was that the lower level was quite humid and a bit musty. Overall, a great trip!

Among the clouds!
Staying at Old Sarum was really special. The cabin grew on all of us more and more each day. We REALLY enjoyed the fireplace and back porch! Including our dogs! It’s very convenient that it’s closed on both sides for the dogs to be able to enjoy it off leash. The gas grill was a pleasant surprise since it wasn’t in the photos we weren’t sure it had one until instructions for check-in were received. PLENTY OF SLEEPING SPACE!! Unfortunately most of the family wasn’t able to make it with us but this is a great cabin for a big group. The kitchen was FULLY stocked with anything and everything you might need (and all in GREAT condition). Plenty of paper towels, toilet paper, towels, dishwashing detergent, soap, shampoo, conditioner, coffee, sugar, salt, seasoning, aluminum foil, plastic wrap, and even down to ziplock bags! Definitely came in handy. Communicating with Lenny was very easy, he was always available. The heating system of the cabin worked great as well. We all had a great end of the year vacation. Thank you Lenny for allowing us to have such a memorable time we can remember forever. Happy New Year!

Off the Grid!
Spectacular views, great location & near Camp Daniel Boone as we required to drop our kids for their summer staff positions. It’s not a fancy cabin but a great place, with plenty of room to stage gear and play guitars and enjoy the very best coffee mornings and wine sunsets. Kitchen had everything we needed (plus everything we forgot: ketchup, napkins …) Thanks Lenny

Excellent Weekend
We met our family for our daughter's graduation. Pros - there was plenty of room for everyone and the views were spectacular! Cons - the one-lane rugged road to the house. The owner of the property said to try to get there during the daylight and he was completely right! Once you are at the top, you do not want to leave. Thank you for such a great weekend!

The ultimate in privacy and seclusion!
The overhead aerial photograph of this property really illustrates how secluded this property and location is. The inside of the house is just as wonderful. It is stocked as well as your own home if not better, it is as comfortable a getaway home as you could expect It has every amenity you can want or need. Dealing with the owner was simple and easy. We called him several times to ask questions and never had to leave a voicemail once. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing getaway
My husband and I celebrated his 40th year bday with some friends. The privacy and the beauty of the property is unmatched. We loved relaxing and checking out all the books in the house by the amazing fireplace. We even got to see the snow flakes :) my only advice is to bring everything you need with you- the drive up to the house is a bit unnerving and it’s difficult to just “run to the store to pick up milk” especially if it snowed. We definitely recommend this property and will be back

Just what the doctor ordered
This property was a comfy stay and perfect for a family. Very private with excellent views. I saw a few reviews mention the road was sketchy but did not find it so. It contains a few switchbacks but well maintained. Good access to blue ridge parkway and try day pass Lake Logan if in season - very close by.
