Not worth what we paid!
House was semi clean. Floors were filthy and we had to keep our shoes on. The bathroom exhaust fans were very nasty. I wanted to fish but wasn’t told about the flood 4 months earlier which left trees all in the water wreaking havoc on my attempt to fish! Needless to say I donated some very expensive lures and spent most of my time repairing my line. We’ll look elsewhere for our next rental. Waste of money!

Surprise Mother’s Day Getaway
My husband and I were looking for the perfect place to bless our moms with a relaxing getaway weekend for Mother’s Day. This spot was it! From the secluded area, peaceful river streaming and housing accommodations it checked all of the boxes and more! The owner Day, checked in on us everyday to make sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back!

Cherokee fishing with friends
The location was great and this might be the nicest VRBO and owner that I have booked. The owner responded to every message in less than 30 minutes and typically in less than 5. The outside looks plain but the inside is wonderfully done with great decorative touches. Everyone in our group felt this way. Thanks Day hope to be back. Obtw. The porch is a great start and finish to the day.

Beautiful front porch with wonderful views of the river. Would stay here again! Great location and easy drove to Cherokee or Bryson City.

Excellent Home
We enjoyed the property. It was just as the listing described it. The only thing that was a small issue was the hill driveway to the property, but once we went up and a down it a couple of times we got used to it. Other than that, we had no issues and it was beautiful.

Nice quiet cabin
Had a good time with my family there going to visit the polar express train. It was a decent distance from Bryson and we liked the river view. I would say the cabin is more suitable for adults and not children under 6. There is no fencing or rocks a long the river bank so it was worrisome and scary having littles there. We tried fishing on the little floating dock and didn’t have luck catching anything but it was still a nice experience. Communication was great and the owner or manager was very nice.

Wonderful Girl’s Weekend
The cabin and property were beautiful, we spent much of the weekend on the front porch or at the fire pit in the back after dark. The casino was just a short drive away for a fun afternoon outing on Saturday. The kitchen was well equipped and the bathrooms very clean. We loved every minute of it. We got to see several elk on the way out of Cherokee. You have to take all of your trash with you when you leave but there is a dumpster not far away so it wasn’t a big deal, just make sure you have some extra large and sturdy trash bags if you’re doing a lot of cooking and have to haul your trash in the back of an SUV like we did!

The house was extremely clean. The front porch has an amazing view of the gently flowing crystal clear river. The location feels secluded but is very close to down town Cherokee. We met the owner and his son. They are exceptional people. We would definitely stay here again.
