The cabin was in an excellent location and decorated nicely. The beds were comfortable, and we loved spending time on the porch watching all the folks drifting down the river in their inner tubes. Loved it and would stay again!

We had a pleasant stay at this cozy cabin. We enjoyed the porch view of the river . The cabin is very close to the road unfortunately there is a lot of traffic noise.

The cabin was very clean upon our arrival. Internet was iffy but probably due to the rain. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
Caught a few fish the last day after all the rain!!

We had a really great time at the cabin! It was well represented and accurate from the photos. It was close to shopping and restaurants (we really liked the Rice Wagon and Wize Guyz Pizza.) Our children loved the loft area and how it was a special hang out area just for them. There’s a gas fireplace which was extremely cozy and the kitchen had what we needed to make a few simple meals. The river and fishing were great and we stopped along several areas to get out and look around. My husband got a permit and caught lots of trout. Host was responsive and we’d love to stay again in the warmer months!

Weekend getaway

My family and I came for a weekend getaway. Upon arrival the cabin was clean and cozy. My two kids loved the loft area I hardly saw them while we were in the cabin. The back deck was very spacious and enjoyed the swing while enjoying the river view. The check in and out process was very convenient and they even moved checkout time back a few hours due to loss of power in the area. We will be returning for future trips.

Wonderful location right on the river. Small, quaint. Perfect for just a few people. The 1 1/2 bath is difficult with any more than that. Also to note the stairs are unsafe due to width of step and steepness. If an extra extra firm mattress is preferred the downstairs bed is that.

Thanks so much for the feedback and we're happy you enjoyed the location! We try to be as accurate as possible with our photos so people can see the stairs are a touch steep, but do have handrails. We purchase all of our mattresses at a medium firmness so as to please the most guests but we do understand that comfort is very subjective.

Cute Cabin in a Perfect Location

Our only disappointment was not being able to stay longer! The cabin is exactly how it’s described in the listing. The location is approximately 5 minutes drive to the casino. It’s within walking distance of shops, food and an outfitter. Smokey Mt visitors center is less than a 4 min drive (great place to see elk in the evening). There are many trails to hike in and around the cabin. Approximately 5 min walk to a “beach” area on the river - perfect place to take kids and doggies. There is a rope swing that allows kids and adults to swinging out and safely drop in the cold river waters. I can’t say enough good things about the cabin and location.

Enjoyed our stay!

We come to Cherokee NC every year for the Tie One On fishing tournament sponsored by Casting Carolinas, a non profit organization that helps women thrive after a cancer diagnosis. The tournament headquarters is at Rivers Edge Outfitters, which was walking distance from our cabin. The convenience was great, the cabin itself was so cozy and adorable. We loved the back porch with the Oconaluftee River running right behind us. We spent our evenings sitting outside, enjoying a glass of wine , the peacefulness of the river and a beautiful night sky. The check in instructions were very understandable and accurate. We had zero issues with anything in the cabin. We will be back in Cherokee in October and hope to be able to book again with Bluebird.

Amazing Stay

The cabin was easy to find, and we checked in without an issue. It's very simple, clean, cozy, and convenient with all the essentials provided —exactly what we were looking for. I was traveling with a kid, and he lost one of his toys, so to help him find it my husband and I had to look under the furniture - exceptionally clean even there.The river running under the windows, the mountains, and the nearby park with a bamboo grove - are very good for nature lovers, while local restaurants and the casino are perfect for those who want some fun. I loved that there were six cabins rented out by the same owner standing side by side. They are not very big and sleep three or four people, but if you want to come with a larger group, renting two cabins and spending time together on the large back porch while still having some privacy at night is easy.All three of us enjoyed our stay. It wasn't easy to drag our kid out when the check-out time came - he wanted to stay longer. I would love to come again for a peaceful weekend with my family or for an adventurous one with some friends.
