Great location in proximity to Cherokee and Bryson City. The community driveway is styep but manageable, so don't let that scare you. Great outdoor setting with decks and firepit and hot tub. Enclosed upper deck great for the dog. Clean and fully stocked house. Streaming only on the TVs so others should be aware. Would rent again.

What a great place to get away and relax. This cabin is nestled up on the mountain and the view is amazing. Big enough for a bunch of friends or a bigger family. We really enjoyed the cabin

This property had everything you would need or want for a long weekend vacation. Just be aware, there are no accessibility features anywhere in the cabin so if you have mobility issues, this may not be the best choice.

Great cabin with a view.
This cabin has plenty of room for 6 to 8 adult sized folks. The view of the deck was great. Relaxing sounds of the creek below. It was well stocked with kitchen stuff. All in all a great place to relax. Close to WCU if you have a student to visit there. Close to great places to hike, waterfalls to see, etc. Dog friendly. I would highly recommend this place to stay.

Loved the cabin. It was fully stocked, clean and spacious. The patio has an amazing view! Great location, you feel away but not too far away. Grocery store, fast food, & casino all about 15 min away. Would definitely recommend!

Great time. Short stay
This property was great. Everything was just as they said it would be. Kitchen is well stocked, even an unopened vanilla ice cream in the freezer(and still is). Only stayed 2 nights, so my only complaint is that we only stayed 2 nights.

Beautiful cabin
This cabin was perfect for our extended weekend stay. Plenty of room for our family members. The cabin was decorated nicely and it was very clean. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The king sized bed in the master was comfortable. I didn't sleep on any of the other beds but all rooms were nice and no one complained. The twin bedroom had a bookshelf with a nice selection of children's books. The room with the bunk beds and futon had a gaming system with a few games. Hot tub was very relaxing and big enough for four people. We enjoyed sitting around the firepit and roasting s'mores. Great views although the cabin is not high atop the mountain. Very convenient to Smoky Mountain CC and Sequoyah National Golf, and casino. We would definitely stay here again. My suggestion to the owner would be to get rid of the futon and add a queen bed to that room. There seems to be plenty of room for it and would improve the sleeping arrangements for that room tremendously.

Beautiful place however,
Great location, beautiful cabin. However, there was little to no water pressure at the place. We had 8 people and had to rotate showers and use of dishwasher or nothing would work. I called and made a complaint with the rental agency and they informed me they would call me back and never did. The interior fire place did not work. I called. And was told they would be out. And they never showed. Lastly our automatic door lock did not work and we had to wait two hours for the maintenance man to come out and fix the lock. Which ruined our plans for the day. Stay could have been better.

This cabin was in a great location and centrally located to all of the places we like to go…. Hiking, fly fishing, visiting the local breweries. Great view from the porch! Indoor fireplace did not work while we were there. Reached out to property management and never got a resolution. Overall great stay!

Need to stop advertising wifi
Property is nice and very secluded. Pictures were exactly like the house. Only problem is we was not able to get into property until after 5pm. Cleaner was not done when we fot there. As for the wifi we might have jad it 8-10 hours during our total stay. I would just quit advertising it. No TV or internet for most of the stay. Made a call twice and never heard a response. Thanks, Benny
