Great location close to anything you could want or need. I highly recommend this place. Secluded but within mins of town. The water was crystal clear. The place itself spotless and perfect for a couple getting away. If you’re going to Cherokee don’t pass up on this place!

We used this as a home base for slow mornings on the patio and hiking in GSMNP. It was about a 15 minute drive to the entrance of the park. We appreciated the quiet area. Day was super easy to communicate with and was super flexible. No complaints from us!

Easy to check in and great communication from the host. We didn’t want to leave and have already been talking about coming back. Beautiful cabin overlooking river. Well maintained and clean. Day had the cabin well stocked and checked in occasionally. Maybe we’ll have better luck fishing next time.

Great lil hideaway!

Very cute lil place, tucked away in a great location! Loved the lake view from the deck. Enjoyed bird watching, ( bring your binoculars!)Hubbie and I brought our own Umbrella and stand with a couple chairs to fish on deck. We got a few nibbles that’s about it. Kitchen is very small with no oven BUT doable and nice grill outside. Definitely made for a couples getaway my husband and I LOVED IT! Miss Day was an awesome host! We will be back

Great place on the river

This is a great spot to stay. It has all you need to enjoy a peaceful stay. The driveway is not for the faint as you're in the mountains, but it wasn't an issue. The next time we're in Cherokee to fish we will stay here. Thanks Day!

Wonderful Weekend

We enjoyed a quiet, peaceful 3 night stay and hope to stay again in the future! The cabin is exactly as advertised and it felt as if we were up in a tree house! Sitting out on the porch area was our favorite. The view of the river is so relaxing. We were fortunate enough to see 2 bald eagles flying over the water! Hubby enjoyed fishing from the dock and caught a couple of nice trout.This is the perfect getaway for a couple! It’s clean, cozy and has everything you need.
