Great place to stay close to Cherokee, but just outside of the hustle and bustle of the tourism district. Go to the shops and then come back to relax and unwind.

Great place to stay! Quiet and conveniently located! As others have mentioned the pot holes are a bit rough but wouldn’t keep us from staying again. We’ve stayed here twice now and have enjoyed it very much both times. Owners were responsive when we reached out. Only thing I’d love to have that’s not provided would be a grill to cook the fresh trout we caught! Thanks for providing a wonderful place to stay!

Outside of the house needs a good power wash . Two of the wood porch chairs had severe sawdust from the bumble bees that had holes bored into the wood. Cabin was located close to attractions. Enjoyed the casino.

Not a fancy place, but met all my needs and expectations. I came primarily to fish and it was close to many of my spots. The home was outside of town away from all the traffic and noise which was nice. Emily’s Place was very clean and had all the amenities I needed. One thing I particularly liked was, unlike other VRBOs I have rented that supplied a starter amount of things like toilet paper, soap, dish washing detergent, etc, there was plenty of each on hand. If I return next year, I will definitely stay at Emily’s Place. One note I failed to mention was, in the advertised photos it appears that you can see the stream from the house. The stream is just across the road, but because the trees have grown up in front of the property you cannot see it. This was no big thing for me.

The house was as described. The kitchen was well stocked with all utensils pots,pans,dish soap etc...... if I had to complain about anything it would be the pot holes going up the driveway. Everything else was great. I loved the location. We were close to everything. I would certainly stay there again.

The location was excellent, a little hard to get to but, worth a little effort. Nice and quite with only the sounds of nature except for a little traffic noise. The porch to sit on at sundown and listen to the river flowing and birds singing was very nice. Staying there was so much better than in a Rustic Cabin or a Motel Room. We had all the home comforts we're used to. The Kitchen was excellently stocked, we like to do our own cooking. The only thing I missed was my recliner. No we didn't go to the casino.

So nice place to stay. Should maybe put the house # on the entrance of the driveway way hard to tell going up the hill drive. Also the outside of the house needs power washing and the wood chairs are full of carpenter bees and should be removed. Inside house was excellent, need a new toaster the one there is stuck on bagel mode and takes forever to toast bread.
