We had the best time and we loved the house. It was perfect for us and our furry friend. The hot tub was a highlight for sure and that view was amazing. We also enjoyed the fire pit - so relaxing and we will definitely come back!

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.
