Great property and host. My first VRBO and they had everything spelled out nicely on printed sheets at the property. Location is close to downtown Cherokee. Quite a steep hill up to property, but leaves you with a great view!

Great location, beds and shower great. Only marginal comment is the porch was really covered with debris, freezer bottom needs cleaning and window sashes vacuumed. But close to town and the park. Saw an elk first day going into town.

Cute cabin

The cabin was perfect for 2 people or 2 adults with 2 kids. It was in a very quiet area but very close to the beautiful little town of Cherokee. The river was right across the rode. You could definitely hear it but there was no view. Maybe in the winter there could be a view when the trees are bare. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was nice. Jo was very responsive when we were having problems with the internet. There’s lots to do in the area.

Cherokee Cabin

Property owner earlier before arriving refused to give me her phone #, but she posted her # and her husbands # on their frig to call of any problems, makes no sense at all. The door on the front porch was unlocked when we arrived in the dark at 9:00 pm. Very unpleasant by all means since the other door had a combination key entry process. My son went in first to make sure no one was in the home. i sent a text to the owners # to report the problems, but her number must be a land line number. So I called her # yesterday and it went to voice mail directly and I left her a message of all the problems. She has refused to call me back because I have not heard from her. I have rented from VRBO for over 35 years and never ever had any problems with any property owners. This is the first case in over 35 years and I am not pleased with this owner, Jo Ann Ray. If VRBO wants great business and reviews then if I was the owner of VRBO I would cancel this lady's home from your listings, but this is my opinion only. I am not totally pleased with the owners response and very suspicious. I would suggest VRBO do an investigation. The home was very clean and hidden in the mountains. Price was reasonable. According to the area code on her phone # she is located in the area. We liked the home, but not pleased with the owner at all. Thanks, Ken C.

Good fishing nearby!

We’ve stayed here before and love the proximity to fishing spots. This was the first time it wasn’t really clean, there was visible clumps of dust in just about every room. I didn’t reach out, since we didn’t spend a lot of time inside. But if you have allergies or asthma I’d be mindful of the current condition of the property.

Great stay

In Cherokee for 3 days to trout fish. Emily’s Place was a great place. House was very clean and comfortable. Not far from where we normally fish and just a few miles to town and restaurants. Very peaceful to sit on the porch and listen to the Raven’s Fork River, below. Had all the amenities that we needed and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Definitely will stay there again.

Very quaint and nice location, but the address is a little off

My girlfriend and I had a great stay. We went during the off season, so many attractions were either closed or under maintenance, but we still had a blast. My only qualm was that the listed address threw my gps for a loop. For future guests, try clicking on the image above the address instead. This should give you coordinates that will take you to the correct road. Beyond that, a great stay and no doubt a future booking should my girlfriend and I come back to Cherokee.

Quiet and relaxing home on the SIDE of mountain.

Let’s start with positives. Home was 4/5⭐️ clean. Tons of towels and extra blankets. Beds were comfortable queen bed softer than the smaller, double. Fully equipped kitchen with all you needed. Plenty of toiletries. Nicely decorated. Not far from town, stream for fishing, or entrance to Parkway. Easy to locate and access. Owners were easily accessible and kept good communication. Negatives: —driveway is steep! Would not be a big deal, we are in the mountains after-all. But we trailered our motorcycle and it was EXTREMELY tricky to maneuver to get it backed in and the bike unloaded! Thank goodness Husband is amazing at backing a trailer and his truck is a beast to pull it up the hill. It was even more interesting getting the bike back up the hill after riding. —-didn’t like seeing dirty towels in basket in bathroom from previous visitors or maids? —dusty behind and around tv, windows and sills, and shelves in laundry (wouldn’t have noticed had i not missed trash can and dropped something) —-cell service was limited and wifi was not connecting, although owner gave his multiple user and passwords, nothing worked. Again we are in mountains but we had a sick grandson at home so better communication would have been ideal. Stilll a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and would visit again, without the bike! Much needed RnR for my husband and myself. Thank you.

This sweet home was a peaceful stay! The trees were changing colors and the Mountain View was spectacular from the front porch! The sound of the river was so calming for an enjoyable relaxing time on the front porch. The house was clean, and smelled nice! The bed linens are soft and cozy the beds are super comfy! It had everything we needed for our stay! Easy communication with host! Can’t wait to come back!
