Wilderness Lodge is an absolutely beautiful property! The house was wonderfully clean and the space exactly as advertised. The kitchen is amazing -- so big! The really neat thing about the house (in addition to the beautiful setting) is that while it was quite cozy and comfortable for just my husband and me, the layout is such that it would have been just as comfortable (and spacious) had my three young adult children and their significant others joined us. Just two points to be aware of:
(1) If you are used to communicating with property managers through the VRBO platform, you'll get frustrated. Railey does not seem to communicate that way once you've booked the property. I sent a few messages through the VRBO platform without response. However, if you call with questions, they are quite helpful and polite.
(2) The listing says the property has an extreme driveway and that you'll need 4WD. We visited in the winter and that's an understatement. We have a 4WD SUV that does quite well in winter conditions, but we could not make it up the steep, icy driveway (which hadn't been treated) and waited 3.5 hours for the plow to arrive to clear the ice and apply cinders when it was time for us to check out. Our visit was during particularly "wintery" conditions, such that this is just something to be aware of if you, too, will be visiting at that time.
