Short girls trip

My daughter and I spent two nights while she was on spring break. The cabin was very comfortable. We had no complaints. The decor is very nice. The view from the deck is beautiful. The little extra details like a candy jar and granola bars made it even better.

Beautiful Cabin

Beautiful older cabin in a private setting with a great view.We were limited to do some mobility issues that we have with going up and down the stairs to the bedroom and using the lower toilets, but overall the cabin itself is lovely and would recommend it!

Wonderful stay!

From the moment we drove up to the property we were impressed. The location is stunning, the house has a huge porch for taking in the views with comfortable rocking chairs and a hot tub. I am a clean freak and was worried that pets are allowed, but I honestly could not tell that pets were allowed by how clean everything was. My friend who is very sensitive to pet hair and dander had no problems. The inside of the property was well decorated and very cozy, we enjoyed the gas fire place and enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, everything we needed was there. The beds were also very comfortable. We had a very small issue, that was no ones fault, the host responded immediately and was so kind and pleasant. The cabin is perfect for a get away! My bestie and I really enjoyed our weekend, so much that we are already planning another trip to the lovely cabin.

Nice Getaway

Our family of four enjoyed the cabin and everything it offered. The kids enjoyed playing the games that were available and the hot tub. The cabin is in a great location for short trips to NOC, Cherokee and more.

A secluded peace oasis in the mountains

The cabin welcomed us on a rainy night, with the sound of the rain pattering on the front porch roof, the rustling of the leaves and the subtle rushing of the river below completing the soundtrack of calm and peace. As soon as we entered, we felt the embrace of this lovely cabin. The smell of the wood, the cleanliness, everything suggested that we would have a great stay! Having arrived at night, little could we suspect of the beauty we would experience the following morning while having breakfast on the front porch. Everything is labeled so that no time is wasted trying to figure out which switch to use to turn on the lights... or the A/C. All rooms are spacious and yet cozy. Having a full kitchen, and a fully equipped one, was a special additional perk that made you want to just stay at home! We had many excursions to do in the neighboring cities, but we made sure to test out the outdoors hot tub, the ultimate relaxation experience while lulled by the birds chirping and the wind gently rustling the leaves. We will return whenever we get a chance! Highly recommended.

Beautiful Setting

Spent our 10 year anniversary here. Quaint and cozy cabin with almost everything you need. Views are spectacular, very private and can hear the river which was a nice touch while we sat on the porch in the evening. Location is perfect, right in between Cherokee and Bryson City for a quick drive. Kitchen was fully stocked, they had a nice assortment of coffee and snacks as well!

Great R&R

We had a wonderful but short stay. Having recent neck surgery and an ER visit to Scottish Rite, we desperately needed quiet time away. Our favorites were the hot tub, fireplace, and the porch with a view. Not only do you enjoy the view, but the sound of the water streaming below. Spacious bedrooms, well-furnished kitchen and welcome from the owners made it perfect. They have K-cups (and flavors we’d never had:) but also a coffee maker if you want to bring your own ground. Terrific instructions and labels on everything made it easy. It definitely hit the spot for what we needed. Thank you!

Zen Cabin

We came to Cherokee to see "3 Doors Down" at the Casino and chose this very special place. The large deck is eye level with many tree tops promoting a "tree house" feeling along with gorgeous mountain views. The house had everything we needed; all the appliances worked well including the fireplace and hot tub. We used the grill for burgers and really enjoyed cooking in the kitchen. Highly recommend seeing Mingo Falls (160 steps up to viewing platform), it is truly a beautiful waterfall. Our host was very pleasant and it was obvious they took great care in appointing the cabin. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Cabin in the woods

The.cabin is very secluded. It was a little hard to find, but I called the owner who assisted me. It was a short stay, we spent one day in Bryson city and one fishing in Cherokee. The only issue was the bathroom needed some TLC. The washer/dryer was nice to have.
