Extremely clean, well furnished, property description is very accurate, fenced in area for pets was great, and property contact was great. We really enjoyed our stay and plan on staying here again.
Loved the fenced in yard for our fur babies. Also enjoyed the hot tub and porches. Our only complaint was the road to the cabin. It had many holes and ruts. We would definitely stay again.
The road wasn’t nearly as bad as some of the reviews stated. I wouldn’t feel comfortable in a small sedan but anything taller than a mid size SUV would be fine. Everything was as described. We had a very cozy stay!

From the owner: "Thank you. We hope to see you again."
Cabin is beautiful and very cozy. The hot tub is very clean - there is a strong bleach smell but glad to know it’s clean. The backyard being fenced is very nice! The drive up isn’t for the faint of heart but with an AWD car its not any problem.
The cabin was clean in a peaceful setting! It was equipped with everything we needed. The only problem was the road to get up to the cabin was a bit rough with very steep incline. Overall the place was great and we enjoyed our weekend!!
We really enjoyed our stay. We needed a little getaway and this place was quiet and peaceful. We loved the hot tub the most. The drive up was a little scary but that wouldn't stop us from booking again.

Thank you for making our trip so easy. The house is extremely clean and well stocked. The welcome treats were a great surprise. Will definitely be back again!
We loved our stay on the top of the hill. Perfectly situated between Cherokee and Bryson City, with everything you need. Comfy bed, stocked kitchen, handy washer and dryer and hot tub to relax after hiking. Total privacy. We hope to be back.
We enjoyed this cute cabin with our dog. It was well-appointed, with a treat basket and hot drinks. We loved the very comfy king size bed. The road up to the top was a little tricky, but our Durango made it just fine. We came to do hiking and it was conveniently located near many hiking trails.
This is our new place to vacation.We love our dogs and it was wonderful that they had a yard that was clean and safe for them to play in, super quite and peaceful . The cabin is 10 mins from bryson city and cherokee which was convienent for us.

Full bath needs updating. Property Description needs to be clearer that the access road is rough. We have an all-wheel drive and could access the home but a car would not have made it.
It was our second time staying at the property and we really enjoyed it again. We love the fenced in back yard for our two small dogs. Location is great with Dillsboro and Sylva being less than 10 miles and Cherokee and Bryson City less than 15. We plan to return in late October

From the owner: "Glad you enjoyed your stay. Hope to see you again."
We loved this cutest cabin while visiting Great Smoky NP. It was very close to the town of Cherokee and about 30 min to trailheads. We also visited local beautiful waterfalls after seeing the directions on the guest book. The loft bed and sitting area with the balcony is the cutest thing. The sofa bed is right by the entrance door but was comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed and more. And we enjoyed the hot tub after our hiking. It’s pretty close to town but def gives a secluded mountain feel. Wished we could stay longer!
It was nice and rustic. I had zero issues with anything except the climb to the top. The instructions did say that during winter months you do need 4x4, but we went at the end of October where I still wore shorts. The climb to the cabin was sketchy for someone who doesn’t drive on sides of mountains very often. I suggest at least having 4x4 all the time just in case when renting this cabin. Other than the climb up, I would recommend this cabin .
The cabin is great. It is well stocked (dishes and cooking supplies), had plenty of room, the 2 window unit A/Cs kept the entire cabin cool, and the fenced backyard was fantastic for our 2 dogs. The bad part of this place was the atrocious last half mile of our drive which was Whittier Heights Rd and Conifer Dr. It is definitely not the most scenic drive in with the junkyard looking house on WH Rd and the ruts/road condition for both roads were awful. You definitely wouldn't want to take a car or you'd probably bottom out. Overall, it was a great stay if you can look past that part. Great location that is close to a lot of different activities. Would recommend, just drive a truck!
