The cabin was beautifully done with new appliances. The bathroom was awesome and the bed comfortable. Exactly what we wanted for a short getaway. The hot tub hit just right on chilly nights. Close to everything we wanted to do. Host was an excellent communicator, always responded quickly. We highly recommended this cabin when visiting Cherokee, NC or the surrounding area.

The rental was so cute and clean. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was amazing. We unfortunately were only able to stay the weekend and never got a chance to use the hot tub but we did look at it on arrival. It was very clean and felt nice and warm.

The property was extremely clean and well described and appeared exactly as photographed. Communication with the host was easy and convenient and the check in/out process was smooth. The house had lovely upgrades and amenities! The road into the property was a typical, hilly mountain road so be prepared for that. We loved the quiet and conveniently located neighborhood. Only a couple of small things would have made our stay better but they were minor (cooking spray, curtains over open windows, hooks in bathroom) We would love to stay here again!

The perfect size...

The home was the perfect size for my husband and I. We really loved the design! The location was great, as it was just secluded enough, but also not difficult to get to nearby towns. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Peaceful Weekend Getaway

This home was perfect for a weekend getaway for two. The setting was quiet and peaceful. The home was very nice, extremely clean, and well maintained. The bed was so comfortable. We loved the rain head shower. The hot tub was a big perk. We hiked and went to the casino during our stay and the location was ideal right between downtown Bryson and Cherokee. Would definitely recommend and we plan to return!
