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.

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.

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.

A nice cabin conveniently located for fishing the reservation. Very much liked the limited edition art. Only issue is it could use a good thorough cleaning, dusty and spider webs. The beds were very comfortable. Would rent it again.

The property was very clean and just as described. The beds and the house were very comfortable and served us well as we fly fished for the long weekend. Perfect for two fishermen. The house was in a great location to fish the trophy waters and others. Very close to town, the fly shop, and restaurants. We will definitely be back.

About the host

Hosted by Jo Ann Ray

Host profile image
I am an enrolled member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and have lived here most of my life. I was born and raised within a hundred yards of this home. I love nature and the outdoors and there is no better place to have these experiences than in and around Cherokee.

Why they chose this property

This was my mom's home. She passed away a few years ago but she loved the peace and quiet. What better way to honor her memory than to share with others what she loved so much.

What makes this property unique

Listen to the Ravens Ford River as you relax. Sit on the porch and watch the fire flies or gaze at the night sky. Decompress and relieve the stress. To me, this is what getting away is all about. Slow down the pace and take time to enjoy what makes you happy.
