It was a wonderful house. The drive can be challenging but putting your car into 1st gear makes it much easier. The view is wonderful and location was great for the hiking and other things we wanted to do.

Response from VrboOwner on 3 August 2026
Thanks for the review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the house, the views, and the location. We also appreciate your feedback about the drive. Unfortunately, the usual easier route to the property was temporarily blocked by a washout during your stay, making access more challenging than normal. This was an unusual situation, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience.

Beautiful setting high above a river/lake. Quiet and private, but only 12-15 minutes away from groceries, restaurants, and the Cherokee Casino. Hot tub and game rooms were very nice additions. Furniture was very comfortable, and the kitchen was well-appointed. Excellent weekend all around.

This is an awesome property for any groups that want to head to the casino (very close) or just relax at the house by the river. Kristen was an excellent communicator who quickly responded and resolved a small issue we had with the hot tub (breaker had flipped). I highly recommend!!
