Quick trip to relax

The little cabin was all that we needed. Nothing fancy, but very cozy and comfortable. A short driving distance between Bryson City and Cherokee. Jimmy Macs is a great place to eat. Yummy food and not too expensive. We took several hikes to see the waterfalls - just beautiful. We would definitely stay there again.
