About this property

O'Henry's Getaway, on Cheoah River

This cozy, rustic farmhouse is nestled on the banks of the scenic Cheoah River nine miles from Robbinsville, NC. It’s just a short nine mile drive to Deal's Gap (the starting point of the Tail of the Dragon - 318 curves in 11 miles). If you are looking for a getaway – O’Henry’s is for you. It’s secluded but still only minutes to town on paved state roads. Enjoy your stay in this 100 year-old farmhouse located on 25 pristine privately-owned acres in the Smoky Mountains. The 1,038 square foot house is surrounded by undeveloped property on the banks of the Cheoah River. There is a massive wrap-around porch on the front, side and rear of the house where you can relax and sip your iced tea as you escape the troubles of a far away world. There is a babbling stream adjacent to the house and a fire pit perfect for those mountain evenings (firewood available). Gas grill provided outside. The Cheoah River is a top location for kayaking. The output of the Santeetlah Dam is increased on specific days (see details below) to create up to Class IV-V rapids. O’Henry’s is located at the top of the 9 mile kayak run ending at Tapoco Lodge. NOTE: There is a parking area in front of the property used by those kayaking the river. There is ample private parking behind the house. There is a two-car lockable garage – perfect for bikes or kayaking gear. Please note the $200 security deposit is REFUNDED after your stay. O’Henry’s is located ten minutes from Robbinsville, NC with restaurants, a pharmacy (Walgreens) and a major grocery store (Ingle's). Nearby attractions include the majestic Joyce Kilmer National Forest, Cherokee Nation, Cherohala Skyway, Great Smoky Mountain National Park and many others. Satellite TV (DishNetwork) and WiFi available. Cell phone service is available in and near the house. Please note: the house has two window AC units located in the kitchen and living room (see floor plan in photographs). There is a gas fired heater in the living room. There is no central HVAC system. The farmhouse has been in the same family for generations. The home is managed with Cherokee Realty which has managed properties and real estate since 1973. We hope you choose O’Henry’s Getaway for your Smoky Mountain vacation.
Security Camera on the exterior facing the rear of the home. No camera's in any interior areas or front yard space.

Awesome Location and Great Place!
I had an overall great experience at this property, especially with Paige who was always responsive when something was wrong. I had some nasty wasps attacking me as I got there, but she had somebody go out and spray. The power was also out after a storm for a little while and she immediately called the power company for them to fix it. Other than that it is located in a great area, close to the dragon and close to Robbinsville. It also had all the amenities to cook at home.
