Such a peaceful stay in the mountains!! If you ever need a private getaway that's a few miles away from food, the casino, and downtown Cherokee, then this is the perfect place! The host was super nice, stayed in contact the whole time, and checking in/out was really simple.

Nice and clean and comfy! We had everything we needed. We stayed for the WCU graduation and the location was perfect because we were close enough to WCU while being able to avoid the crowds in Sylva. I had my parents with me and dad doesn’t do stairs anymore, so this worked out great because there is a ramp from the gravel driveway to the kitchen door and everything is on one level, including the porch overlooking the river. Bring k-cups so you can have your coffee out there!Bonus for nature lovers: there are some fabulous flowering shrubs and trees around the property, great bird watching, and we were greeted along the road by a family of elk!

Very nice accommodations. Exceeded our expectations! Our trip was fairly short and the location was perfect to travel in and out of town for fishing, a visit to the casino and a ride over to the Visitors Center to see the elk, etc. Enjoyed seeing the otters in the river at the house. This home is perfect for 3 adult couples. Would love to stay here again! Host was very nice and communication was great!
