Cabin is very clean, private and peaceful. Location is just a few minutes from everything you need and the host day was very pleasant. We were already planning another stay before we left. Place is amazing.
Yes the river was very peaceful and beautiful. No bugs bothering us. The home is comfy and cozy and we found it to be a new get away. So thankful I spotted it on VRBO.
Overall everything was charming. Our host made sure we were happy and ok. We had everything we needed for a comfortable, peaceful, relaxing stay. We are already planning our next trip.
Great location close to anything you could want or need. I highly recommend this place. Secluded but within mins of town. The water was crystal clear. The place itself spotless and perfect for a couple getting away. If you’re going to Cherokee don’t pass up on this place!
This was our second stay in the cabin and we will be back. It's the perfect place to unplug, relax and leave the rest of the world behind. Day is wonderful and very easy to work with!
Cozy and quaint waterfront studio cabin. Everything you need is there. Comfortable beds and storage. Perfect for two. Our hostess was awesome and very attentive. 5 min from cherokee.
I really loved my stay at the “Love Nest”. Everything was extremely clean and for me it was all about the relaxing view of the water from the porch. When I was there I spent the majority of my time sitting on that porch staring out at the river. The porch overlooks the calmer part of the water so it looks a bit like a lake more than a section of river with rapids. The serenity of sitting out there among the trees and water is definitely the selling point of this place. The cabin has a lot of positives! It is a really cool property with a lot of personality. For me it everything was perfectly fine, but my wife has some back issues and a simple thing like a recliner or some kind of comfortable seating option in the room would have really gone a long way and been a game changer for her. There are only hard wood chairs to sit in or the bed. And unfortunately the bed was just a bit too soft for her as well as she needs a firmer mattress w her issues. A few little upgrades in those categories would definitely be big. I would say this property would be best suited for a young couple who are active or for one person who isn’t as worried about a bad back ;o) Aside from that I really enjoyed my time. and I had such a restful/relaxing feeling there which is exactly what I was hoping for! I hope to come back again in the future!!!
Great location- easy drive into Cherokee.
Cabin was beautiful and very clean. Loved the porch overlooking the river. Would recommend and hope to stay at this cabin again.
We used this as a home base for slow mornings on the patio and hiking in GSMNP. It was about a 15 minute drive to the entrance of the park. We appreciated the quiet area. Day was super easy to communicate with and was super flexible. No complaints from us!
