4WD or AWD needed. Cabin is 1 and 4/10 mile up dirt/gravel road, one lane in places, so not recommended for motorcycles, minivans or 2wd pickups since these have relatively poor traction on dirt/gravel. Views are great near top of the mountain but that means driving uphill to get there.

Exciting

It was exciting to climb that far in a vehicle. Very quiet and secluded. It was my first time renting a 4 wheel drive vehicle . It was well worth the trip. I am a 64 year old female. I changeling others lol.

Million view

Quiet, secluded and living room has a huge window you can just stay in the cabin and not have to fight mosquitoes or suffocating humidity. Although, the sunrise and sunsets were mesmerizing. VIEW VIEW VIEW. Darion was very available. Unfortunately there was a really huge thunderstorm and some trees, not close to me, knocked the transformer onto the ground. No power for almost 12 hours. I decided to leave before the road go treacherous. I told Darion multiple times that it was an act of God no one’s fault. Next morning he refunded me a days rent. That was very kind Darion.

Perfect getaway!!

Everything about the listing was correct and it was perfect! The view is even better in person. We had the best time staying here and exploring the area around Cherokee. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quiet and beautiful retreat away from everything.

Great Stay, Gorgeous Views

Great little secluded cabin tucked in the mountains. Fully stocked with everything we needed. Very clean. No WiFi but still good cell signal. Would not advise more than 1 vehicle at this lot. Turnaround space is limited & road angles to get in & out is tight.

Weekend getaway

Such a cute house in a quiet setting. The views were absolutely worth the drive up the road! I have a 4x4 Honda crv and made it up no problem. Definitely advise going up during daylight! The house is well stocked with cookware. No wifi or cable but it wasn’t needed. Would definitely stay here again!

I was able to use Google Maps to find the precise location. You drive up a mountain for 5 minutes and you sit above the clouds. Its breath taking and i did not want to leave.

Amazing view

This is a very quite neighborhood. My husband and I loved the peacefulness. The views are awesome. We watched one of the multiple DVD selections that are available but we mostly built a fire in the pit and grilled while we were there. If you are looking for solitude this is the place to stay. Nice little comfy home for couple's to stay at.

Beautiful view

If you want an amazing view, to get away and unplug from the rat race then this is a good place to do it. If you want luxury, amenities and easy access you want to bypass this location. We had a very relaxing time and enjoy the view but the drive up is steep, one lane, gravel and sharp turns. We had a Chevy one ton truck and barely could turn around on up the road. I would say a four wheel drive is very important.

Great get away!

Absolutely stunning view. The kitchen was adequately equipped for preparing our meals which we enjoyed eating on the deck. The road to the cabin is very steep, but nothing our front wheel drive car couldn't handle even in the rain. We will definitely be coming back.

Luv Shack

We were looking for some isolation in the mountains and that is what we found. We loved the view and the sunrise was amazing, worth getting up early for each morning. Bed was very comfortable. Definitely requires 4 wheel drive to get up to the cabin, road is steep and exhilarating, mostly 1 car width. If you are looking for solitude and quiet, you will find it here.

On top of the Smokies

As advertised,the view from the front deck was stunning. We found it interesting how quickly the clouds lift so quickly often resembling chimney smoke. The cabin was clean and the covered deck appreciated when it rained. It is not what you would call plush but it was fine and to our liking. It is a bit of a trek going up and down to town but we brought food so we could stay in when we chose. My Honda CRV did fine on the roads. I would definitely recommend this place to others.

10/10 stars! Ignore the bad reviews

Great stay and out of this world view. Other people leave bad ratings due to the drive up. I disagree that a bad review should be left for that but it should be noted that it’s a crazy drive up and down. I referenced it to a rollercoaster constantly but that was the ONLY downside. Plus it added to the experience! Super secluded and private. You don’t even have neighbors. Host left plenty of supplies for my partner and I. Overall I can’t imagine leaving a bad review on this place!! Highly recommend!

Worth every penny for the view

We loved it here and would definitely consider coming back!! We wanted beauty and isolation and this cabin delivered 100%. My only criticisms are 1) the fact that you have to bring your own toilet paper was buried in the fine print somewhere and 2) the bed wasn't made when we arrived and I couldn't find spare sheets anywhere to change it. We had to run back into town (not too far) for tp, napkins and aluminum foil then I did a thorough check of the linens which were ok for us so I didn't bother to call them. Neither of these things ruined our experience, The kitchen was easy to use, the neighbors were quite, and the view was out of this world. If you love nature and you don't sweat the small stuff this cabin is perfect.

The place was exactly as described, the road is rough going up there. We loved it, the only negative thing I could say is the heat is not working. It was very very cold this morning. Otherwise would stay again in a minute.

Needs updating

The view was great, nice and cozy. No Modern TV or Wifi so you REALLY need to bring entertainment. Unless Old VHS on a small tv is your thing. Also this is a MOUNTAIN, 4x4 or AWD is a MUST. Gravel thats loose is about 50% of the road to the top with sharp turns.

Short stay

We were only there for a few hours due to the hot water heater not working. We notified Darion and decided not to wait since it was just a weekend trip. He still notified us a few hours later he had fixed the problem and we were welcome to come back.Unfortunately, we had already left the area. The property was clean and secluded which is exactly what we were hoping for.

Beautiful view

We loved our quiet stay with this beautiful view. The Luv Shack needs some updating, but for the price you can beat it. Clean and ready for you! I will say the mountain road up was a little tricky especially in my Honda Civic. That last turn we had to try to go up 3 times before we made it up since my car was not 4-wheel drive, but anyone can make it. It’s gravel & you may spin, but get a running start & it’s no problem. Loved being so close to everything!
