We enjoyed the cabin, but because we were enjoying the outside so much we didn't get as much time to hang. The cabin was perfect for our group. We were in Cherokee for a fishing tournament raising money for cancer, so were on the river and in town a lot. Didn't get to enjoy the cabin as much as we hoped. The smoke detectors did start to beep the last night - so please check those.

Great - just as advertised

We enjoyed our stay! The cabin is in a gated neighborhood where the cabins are spread out, not right next to one another. The view was pretty and the cabin was clean. The drive to either Bryson City or Cherokee was not far (maybe 10-20 minutes either way) so it's a great location.

The cabin was great getting there was an issue the direction could be worded differently to explain how to get to the cabin. The cleaning crew didn't leave any outside lights on and it was dark when we got there so we drove past the cabin twice thinking that it was the first cabin. No lights on the stairs and my elderly mom had a hard time with the stairs with no lights. No wifi which was a boomer we didn't have a hot spot so we couldn't get any messages out until we went down the mountain. Wish that there had been screens on the windows so we could have enjoyed the cool night air. We slept great and the andmintaties was good also. We have been taking this trip for 9 years for our anniversary and we hope to come back next year

The house was very clean beds were comfy and the view was wonderful. We really enjoyed the pool table each night. There is only one working television and no wifi, which I didn’t realize until we arrived. Cell service is not good in that location, so the kids were a bit frustrated but they will survive. There’s a couch and a futon in the living room, but the futon cushion is worn out making it very uncomfortable. The kitchen isn’t super well stocked, but it was sufficient. It’s definitely an interesting drive to the cabin, but it wasn’t very difficult, we did fine in my husband’s large pickup. I think I read a review saying the windows were dirty. They are not dirty, the seals on some of them were broken and condensation had collected between the panes, not much to be done about that without replacing them. Overall we had a great stay, it was comfortable and a great location!
