You will find 2 bedrooms upstairs with private balconies. Main bedroom has queen bed with lake views. Loft area has 2 twin beds with no interior door but does exit onto private balcony with cliff views. Due to cabin being an A-frame style, steep stairs are used to access the upstairs.

For outside sitting, you will find a picnic table located near grill with beautiful views of the lake in front and cliffs behind. Take a stroll up hill pass cabin to find a fire pit and another picnic table with sitting around fire pit. Beyond the sitting area you will find firewood for the fire pit. This property has wild and domestic animals that travel through the property. There are cliffs that create a perimeter to the back of property and large rocks in yard. This cabin is pet friendly with limit of 2 pets, additional fee applies. Please provide own kennel if pet needs to be left alone in cabin. If you enjoy listening to the sounds of the woods, this is a place you would love to see and visit. Wake up to the abundance of birds singing their songs as you start your day. Come, relax and enjoy what nature has to offer. If you enjoy state parks, our cabin is about an hour northeast from Carter Caves State Park and an hour southeast from Natural Bridge State Park. Take the scenic route through Nada Tunnel to the Red River Gorge. Come to relax or explore. Cherokee Cabin offers you both. Enjoy sunsets? Watch the sun set in the summer from the porch or sofa in living room. Such beautiful, peaceful time of day!

The host was very responsive when asking questions or needed something.. very easy to communicate with the host. They provided a bath towels and cloths as well as cleaning supplies for dishes.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The views alone were breathtaking, but what truly made this Vrbo special was how thoughtfully everything was put together. Walking in felt less like arriving at a rental and more like stepping into a beautifully furnished, welcoming home.Every detail was clearly considered. We loved flipping through the guestbook, enjoying the board games, and the s’more supplies were such a fun and memorable touch. It’s those little extras that really made the experience feel personal and special.The accommodations were incredibly comfortable and well-stocked. Having extra blankets, firewood ready to go, full-size bottles of shampoo and conditioner, and a fully stocked kitchen made everything easy and stress-free. We never felt like we were missing anything.You can truly tell the owners care about their guests and take pride in creating a warm, inviting space. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy, well-appointed getaway.
