We enjoyed our stay but there are a few housekeeping things the owners should be aware of. How can I let them know without creating a bad review

Nice and well appointed cabin
This house is very nice with great upgrades. Positives; Large privately located cabin. Huge kitchen with nice appliances Huge master suite Large deck/patio outside Pool room upstairs is great with a huge tv and reclining sofas Not so positives: There were several large bees nests under the deck and two individuals in our party got stung within 30 min of arrival. Has a nice view but it can really only be seen from upstairs or a corner on the first floor. The house felt like a new rental. No guestbook, binder with activities or “personal “ touches. The house has 2 king beds and 2 queen beds. We had 4 kids in our party and had to bring air mattress for 2. Bunk beds would have been better than 2 queen beds. One big reason we rented this cabin was the outdoor patio with grill, hot tub and pizza oven. However, you are not allowed to use the pizza oven. This should have been in the listing. This is a very nice property but the fees and nightly cost are too high. We had 2 families but the cost was still very steep.

Great stay
Overall, the property is as advertised with a great view and amenities. The rooms and are large and plenty of spaces and TV. Location is great, very close to the Watauga River Park and original Mast General Store with a short 15 min drive to Boone. Communication with the host was quick and consistent. We reported a couple issues that were present upon arrival and the host offered to have them fixed during our stay: 1) screen on the patio door was coming out of its frame 2) and patio fire pit had an eroding bottom (they were not urgent repairs for us so we declined). Based on how nice the kitchen setup was with the amazing Wolf range/oven, I would have expected to have seen a better stocked kitchen. There are plenty of utensils to get by, but I found myself wanting spatulas and measuring utensils. They remind you in advance that you are responsible for your own salt/pepper/spices; there is a very limited supply. Only complaint that I had was about inflexibility of reservation changes by the host company. We had a medical appointment that could not be rescheduled come up within days of our reservation being made, there was no flexibility to shift our dates by 1 day when property was available at the time (same number of nights just M-F instead of Tue-SA). We ended up having to pay for the extra night even though we left a day early. I understand their cancellation policies completely, but very unbending, so be warned.

Upscale gorgeous cabin!
This is the most beautiful cabin I have ever stayed in. It has everything you would need! We had our 90 and 87 year old parents join us and our requirement was a step less entrance with the master bedroom and bath on the main level. It was perfect for them. My only disappointment was the fact that the pool room was on the upper level. Our parents were unable to navigate the stairs and enjoy that amenity with us but they enjoyed their evening TV time together. The outside had a fire pit, hot tub, grill all on a level stone patio area. We highly recommend this gorgeous cabin for families to stay. And this cabin is pet friendly! It’s a win win!

Gorgeous Cabin
The house was absolutely beautiful. Looked just like the listing. Comfortable beds. Great kitchen with lots of dishes and cooking accessories. Negatives were the lack of insulation between walls. You could hear absolutely everything. Caution to those bringing a baby like we did. Would help to have rugs throughout the house. The dryer was terrible. Took over five rounds in the dryer for our clothes to finally dry. Not the best for dogs. The house is on the top of a hill so the only flat land is the driveway. They limit the amount of towels, dish soap and trash bags so recommend bringing more. They did state that in the welcome email but I didn’t think the towels would be one per person. The huge windows were a big drawing point for us to choose this house. The blinds, however, were remote controlled so we were not able to lower them. After contacting the rental agency, they said they could send someone to lower them but they would have to stay lowered throughout our trip. The TV is located between the windows, so it was blinding to try and watch anything. We all wore sunglasses in the morning. The house is off an extremely windy road. Takes about 10 minutes to go less than 5 miles. Far from town so wasn’t the best for going back in forth.

The place was awesome! Beautiful! Great scenery. I wish the check in and check out times were different because we lost 2 full days of being able to enjoy the resort. A few minor things were in need of repair but I advised the owners the day of departure. All in all, I am planning on reserving this place for more time next year! It was amazing!
