A super lively spot and charming cabin. Only comment is that the beds listed as Ki gs are actually Queens. If this isn’t a problem for you, you’ll love this spot.
Such a cozy place to stay. The cabin and the location were so beautiful. The host stayed in communication prior to and during our trip. All check in and check out instructions were clear. We would absolutely stay here again.
This cabin was so wonderful! Didn’t want to leave and couldn’t wait to get back to it after our excursions. Checking in was easy. Enjoyed the decor. Plenty of toiletries. Good tasting water.The driveway was a little rough and the road getting there is only a single lane in places. I still rate it a 5 star!
This property was very clean and up to date. It was a nice touch to find soaps, shampoo, conditioner, body lotions, tooth paste and the kitchen even had coffee, sugar, teas and spices along with all the regular amenities. The views from the cabin were spectacular and we enjoyed sitting on the front porch. The waterfall was an extra bonus, it was so peaceful.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. Despite a minor initial mix-up, it was quickly forgotten once we settled in. The house was charming and amazing, with personal touches that made our stay special. The property was beautiful, featuring two streams and a waterfall, and its proximity to Cherokee and the national forest was a treat. The house was spotless and accommodated the four of us perfectly. The only challenge was the steep, unpaved rock road, but we became adept at navigating it after our intial climb up to the house. Thank you for providing such a clean, cozy, and thoughtfully prepared place. We had a wonderful time and would gladly return!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the charm, cleanliness, and personal touches throughout the home. We’re especially glad you were able to enjoy the beautiful property, including the streams and waterfall, as well as the convenient proximity to Cherokee and the National Forest.
We also appreciate your understanding regarding the initial mix-up, and we’re pleased it was resolved quickly. We certainly understand that the mountain road can take a little getting used to, and we appreciate you mentioning it.
It was a pleasure hosting you and your group. Thank you for choosing our home, and we would be very happy to welcome you back in the future!
Stunningly beautiful property. Extremely quiet and private. Surrounded by two small waterfalls. The view of the mountains is amazing. The cabin is exceptionally clean and well appointed with a wonderful little kitchen. It’s a short drive to Cherokee or Maggie Valley and a very meditative place to stay. Excellent internet if you need to get online and a Roku with all of the streaming apps. We loved it and will definitely be back.

Thank you for staying with us! It was a pleasure hosting you!
There aren't enough words to describe how wonderful of a host Dominique is! Unfortunately, the Dancing Bear cabin I had booked sustained damage due to the recent storms and she not only communicated this promptly but also made sure we were able to stay in another cabin instead of canceling. The Angler cabin was exceptional. Very clean and extremely cozy with all the comforts. She even went above and beyond providing a welcome package and Birthday balloons as a surprise for my friend who was traveling with me! I HIGHLY Recommend booking with her. 5 stars isn't enough, she deserves a gold medal I definitely hope to be able to visit again 🤩

Thank you SO MUCH for staying with us! And understanding the problems we had! I hope your friend had a fantastic birthday!
Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The cabin was very clean and in a great location. We especially loved the waterfall next to the cabin, it was so relaxing and made our stay feel extra special.I can’t say enough about how kind and thoughtful our host was. She took the time to ask if we were celebrating anything, and when she learned it was my husband’s birthday, she surprised us with a special gift waiting for him upon arrival. It was such a pleasant surprise and, more importantly, such a personal and caring touch.We would definitely stay here again. Everything was perfect. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay!

Thank you so much for staying with us, again happy birthday!!
We loved the cabin and the location. It was so peaceful and quiet you could hear the grass grow. Check in was easy and the host was always available and very prompt to answer any questions we had. The gravel road to access the cabin once you left the main road could have been better ( very rough in places) but I would stay there again.
