This was a beautiful spot with incredible views! The home was very spacious for our family of four. The location to Bryson City and Cherokee was perfect for exploring each on day trips. The house was very clean, the owners were helpful when needed, and we all commented on how comfortable the beds were.

We enjoyed the stay. The view was wonderful. The cabin was nice. For the money I was charged, I did not expect to have to wash and dry our towels. Also when you check out on Sunday, the trash recycling center is closed so we had to take our trash with us. Owner needs to update all instructions to read the same as contract. Notes posted in the home did not match expectation on printed notes in home. I would suggest they be read very carefully. We did not use the fireplace, firepit, nor grill.

We enjoyed the cabin, but because we were enjoying the outside so much we didn't get as much time to hang. The cabin was perfect for our group. We were in Cherokee for a fishing tournament raising money for cancer, so were on the river and in town a lot. Didn't get to enjoy the cabin as much as we hoped. The smoke detectors did start to beep the last night - so please check those.

Great - just as advertised

We enjoyed our stay! The cabin is in a gated neighborhood where the cabins are spread out, not right next to one another. The view was pretty and the cabin was clean. The drive to either Bryson City or Cherokee was not far (maybe 10-20 minutes either way) so it's a great location.

The cabin was great getting there was an issue the direction could be worded differently to explain how to get to the cabin. The cleaning crew didn't leave any outside lights on and it was dark when we got there so we drove past the cabin twice thinking that it was the first cabin. No lights on the stairs and my elderly mom had a hard time with the stairs with no lights. No wifi which was a boomer we didn't have a hot spot so we couldn't get any messages out until we went down the mountain. Wish that there had been screens on the windows so we could have enjoyed the cool night air. We slept great and the andmintaties was good also. We have been taking this trip for 9 years for our anniversary and we hope to come back next year
