Stayed for a week with my grown children and spouses and grandchildren. Perfect location for day hikes in the mountains. Really close to groceries and attractions in Cherokee, with a very isolated feel. We enjoyed our stay, and plan to rent this lovely property again. Just as nice outside as in, porches, hot tub and fire pit for roasting marshmallows. Plenty of parking on level surface. Very clean and well kept, owners are very easy to work with. Highly recommend renting this property.

Cabin was beyond expectation – secluded – clean – large parking area – Hot tub and more. Very homely atmosphere in the cabin and plenty conveniences. Great area to branch out to explore trails, waterfalls and the Smokey Mountains. Will visit again and suggest highly for a getaway. Road is narrow and steep but just take your time.

We loved it. We were there only a couple of days and wished we could have stayed much longer. The peace and quiet is exactly what we were looking for! The cabin was beautiful. Looks exactly as the pics depict, which I find is often not true.

This property has a succession of excellent reviews and no wonder, it's a fabulous cottage, EXTREMELY well equipped and in a great location either for a busy sight seeing trip or a relaxing getaway. The only negative point anyone could raise would be the rather tricky approach road, but after a couple of days even that becomes part of the fun! We visited in August 2012 and stayed for a week. We should have booked longer. We took our son's family with us so there were 6 of us including an 18 month old toddler. Our son's family were easily accomodated on the upper floor whilst we had the ground floor bedroom. The large lounge / dining / kitchen space proved to be an excellent family base and the well gated porch gates meant that the whole cabin was very toddler proof! We self catered and found that the quantity and nature of crockery, utensils and cutlery was more than sufficient, and we appreciated the dishwashing and laundry appliances which freed up so much time so that we could get on with our holiday! A Food Lion supermarket less than 10 mins away served us well. There's an excellent collection of information about the area in the cabin, and there's certainly plenty to do in the area. We visited the Museum of the Cherokee Indian, Mingo Falls, the Oconaluftee Visitors Centre, the Island park in town (great for paddling, float rides and fishing), the Old Mill Gem Mining and The Cherokee Storyteller's Bonfire, held Friday and Saturday evenings at the Island. First look at Google Earth suggested that the shops in Cherokee were pretty much tourist cash traps and first drive through might seem to confirm that, but take a closer stroll if you've the time because there is a lot of reasonable price and quality leather and rugs. Slightly further afield, we got across to Dollywood a couple of times ( a season ticket is worth the expense), visited Cades Cove and drove into Maggie Valley and along Blue Ridge Parkway. Although we didn't visit from Cherokee, I would suggest that Asheville and Pisgah Forest are easily reached, as is Bryson City and Nantahala, so there's plenty to keep you busy for a second week. We would go back in a flash! Perhaps another time we'd move at a slower pace and enjoy more of the peace and tranquility that the site offers. Maybe that way we'd take time to appreciate the wildlife of the area which is in abundance. We rent in the USA frequently, and this was one of the very best for us!

We had five adults (two couples) stay very comfortably in the cabin for several days. We enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, and grilling outdoors. Easy access to the Nantahala Outdoor Center for whitewater rafting, Bryson City for the Great Smoky Mountains Railway, and other attractions.

My boyfriend and I stayed at the cabin for 7 wonderful nights in July 2011. The cabin is absolutely beautiful and their pictures can't begin to do it justice. It has every comfort of home and was clean and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed cooking out and using the hot tub while we were there. It was a little to warm for a fire in the pit since we were there in the middle of July but it is a wonderful touch. The directions to the property were spot on and easy to follow and the owners, Steve and Stephanie were easy to work with and very helpful with suggestions and tips. The cabin sits on the side of a mountain and is surrounded by a beautiful manicured yard and then by lush green trees that provide privacy and quiet. At night there are lightning bugs that light up the yard and trees, a site I haven't seen since I was a child at my grandparents house in Pennsylvania. It is close to everything to need and would want to do. Stores, attractions, casino, shopping, restaurants and so many outdoor activities you run out of time before getting to all of them. The locals were friendly and also very helpful. We were able to enjoy white water rafting, zip-lining, hiking and yes the casino. We took day trips into the mountains to hike some water falls that are close by and to find quaint restaurants for lunch and dinner. Check out Mingo falls if you get the chance, it's only about a 20 minute ride from the cabin and is breathtaking. Rafting on the Chatooga in S.C. is something not to be missed as was the zip-lining at Nantahala gorge. For the very daring, a ride to Cataloochee is a must. There we were able to see Elk and have some amazing pictures of them in the wild. We would definitely recommend this to anyone and everyone looking to get away to the mountains. We will definitely be going back again, perhaps in the fall so that we can see the changing of the leaves and then a trip in the winter so that we can enjoy the snow covered mountains. Thanks to Steve and Stephanie for sharing their wonderful cabin with us!

The cabin was everything we expected and more. It was very clean and well maintained. You are very secluded, but yet 5 minutes from the grocery store if you need anything. If the casino is where you want to go, you can be there in minutes. The only thing missing is wi-fi, but if getting away is your objective that's no big deal. We hope to return soon.

We had a wonderful week at the Cherokee Hideaway. It was close to everything. The crib came in handy with a little one. The hot tub took a while to heat up, but once we figured it out, we enjoyed it throughout the week. We would love to come back!

This is basically a wonderful cabin with a lot of details not attended to yet. The cabin is a charming recently built log cabin in a lovely woodsy location. There is some helicopter noise from tourist overflights on the weekends, but I assume that any house in the area has this issue. The cabin has a nice layout, is nicely decorated, and has lots of light. The front and back porches are wonderful places to sit, particularly in the two person swinging chairs. Unfortunately, the pots and pans are quite small and woefully inadequate to cook for 6 (our group), let alone 8 people. Fortunately we had brought some left overs with us for our first dinner. Our second dinner involved buying a much larger pot to cook with (which we took with us so the situation remains the same). We couldn't find a cutting board or carrot peeler and the sharp knives were very dull. The blanket on two of the beds was quite thin and required leaving the heat on at night so that we didn't get cold. The upstairs bedrooms have no facilities for hanging up clothes- a couple of hooks at least would have been appreciated. If the owners will attend to these details, they will turn this into a cabin I would be happy to recommend.
Owner response:Unfortunately things do get misplaced, broken or discarded when the cabin has had a lot of rentals. As the owner of the cabin, I have had up to 10 people there at one time and have never had a problem with inadequate pots and pans when I have cooked a meal. We haven't been up to the cabin as much this year as in the past and we are constantly replacing items that may have gone missing ie: cutting board, carrot peeler and the knives are replaced each time we arrive at the cabin. As for the blankets on the beds they are thin; however we have completely stocked the cabin with plenty of heavy blankets and it is equipped with central air AND heat! I can appreciate the hanging of clothes and we will attend to that when we arrive in December. As for the helicopter noise, I can not control that and has never seemed to be an issue when we are there. Thanks for pointing out "some" of the good qualities of our cabin....our cabin has always received high reviews, as you can see from all the other reviews posted, and I apologize if your stay did not meet your expectations.

Had a great time at this wonderful cabin. The pictures on the website don't do it justice. Cabin is conveniently located to all of the attractions in Cherokee, Maggie Valley and Gatlinburg. We especially enjoyed having dinner at the Dillsboro Smokehouse, they have great BBQ. Thank you for sharing the cabin with us as it made vacationing with my elderly parents so easy and gave us plenty of room to spread out. Would like to visit again soon and will definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area.

The cabin is gorgeous and extremely clean. It still has a new feeling to it and the pictures truly do not capture the beauty. Very cozy yet plenty of room for a family or a group of friends. Location is perfect for a visit into Cherokee, Bryson CIty (whitewater rafting), Waynesville or other local mtn. areas. TIP - follow the owner's directions exactly as they provide great landmarks as well as other descriptions not offered by online map web sites. This was a great getaway. The only negative is that we had to leave and that the cabin does not belong to us.

This cabin is equipped with everything you will need to get away for a vacation. It is beautiful and comfortable. The fire pit outside is a great place to relax and to listen to the sounds of forest. We really enjoyed this cabin and its location - high in the mountains, The only regret we have is that the cabin did not have a mountain view; otherwise, it would be the greatest place on earth.

The cabin is only minutes away from everything Cherokee, NC had to offer. We would definitely like to stay here again if/when we return to Cherokee!

My family of six (two adults, four kids) have vacationed at the "Cherokee Hideaway" three times so far and have loved it every time. We have done it in the spring, summer and winter, which has given us a varity of different types of vacations, due to the weather. We have gone skiing, sledding, played in the creeks, went to Dollywood, went horseriding and caught fireflies. It's location is just far enough out of the way to give you a peaceful retreat, and yet within an hour of most of the wonderful attractions that the Smokey Mountains have to offer. We always have a great time there, and have spent many days just "hanging out" at the cabin. It feels like a second home to us. We still need to go back, because we have not been there in the fall. I would just love to see what the mountains look with the fall leaves. I would defenitely would recommend it to anyone who would like a relaxing vacation spot. Did I mention that there is a hot tub? AAAAHHHHHHHH!

We have a family of six and there was plenty of room for us all! Everything was there for us for an entire week, all we needed was food and we were set. We loved the porches and the gates for our younger child, the larger lot for the older kids to run around and be loud and the hot tub for us older two. The site was wonderful secluded and yet literally five to ten minutes to everything else. Cherokee was a great experience for us all and we even got to see Black bears in the national park on two occasions!

What a beautiful "home away from home"! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. It had everything we needed! So peaceful and tranquil. When we were getting ready to leave to come home, everyone said we should have reserved it for one more day... next time I hope we reserve it for the entire week! The area near Cherokee is breathtaking. Even saw snow! I would encourage you though to make some statement about the very steep and narrow driveway in your property advertising. It was covered with leaves when we arrived at almost dusk, so it was very difficult to see if we were on the right path on our way up the hill. Could you possibly add something upstairs to accommodate hang up clothes? There is no closet space in either bedroom for hang up clothes. Thank you again for sharing your cabin with us. We hope to reserve it again next year and have already shared your web site with friends and other family members.

This was our first experience with a vacation rental and we are so glad we did this! We are a family of 8 and everyone had a comfortable place to sleep. The cabin was incredibly clean and well-maintained; it felt like a luxury home inside. This is a perfect place to stay if you want to explore the Great Smoky Mountains and still be a bit removed from the touristy spots. We have already recommended this property to friends who might visit the area someday.

The cabin was beautiful. We were there on a girls vacation from September 21 -28, 2008. The isolation was wonderful. We yelled, screamed, vented without having to worry about disturbing anybody. The casino was ten minutes away, which was a plus. We went to Peter's for breakfast, what can I say, everything was mouthwatering. We REALLY enjoyed our stay.
