Lovely cabin!

Near ideal location, great views, very private. My favorite part was morning coffee on the porch swing listening to all the critters. Also appreciated the well-equipped kitchen!

Perfect location and views

The cabin was perfect for a couple or small family. The road in is steep but paved and although it feels remote, it was very close to hiking and the casino. We arrived late and were given the wrong gate code, but the management company got it to us quickly and assured us they would change it for future guests. The views from the porch and hot tub were amazing. We would definitely stay again!

Cherokee Ridge Retreat

We loved the cabin. Very cozy and convenient to Bryson City, Sylva, Dillsboro, Waynesville. We ate lunch at Kosta's one day in Dillsboro, and we ate dinner at Clyde's in Waynesville. They have delicious food and the service is great and friendly staff. We went to Darnell Farms twice. Their fall festival was on Saturday, October 26. It was fun! We went to Harrah's several times and did good on the machines! The trees were beautiful and the weather was too. We wore shorts every day. We changed into jeans before going to the casino. One night, we turned onto Hidden Springs Rd. and there were fire trucks and policemen. They said a tree had fallen across the road and they gave us directions on how to access our cabin from another way, thank goodness. The cabin did not have electricity, so we turned on the gas logs for light. At 10:00, still no electricity, so we went to bed. Electricity came back on around midnight. We sat in the dark, except for the gas logs, from 8PM to 10PM.

My husband and I stayed here to celebrate our 30th birthdays and had a wonderful time. The view is incredible, the bed was super comfy, the bathrooms have ample storage and space. The community is beautiful and close to downtown Cherokee.We've been to MANY cabins in western NC, but I can confidently say this was by far one of our favorites and we will probably look to book it again in the future.

Quiet and peaceful

We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. The view is amazing, and there are no other homes close by, so it's very quiet and peaceful! The hot tub was great. Everything was very clean and in working order - great appliances. My only comment is the beds are too soft and you kind of sink in. Not good for someone with a bad back. But otherwise a fantastic cabin with peace and quiet, yet close to everything!
