The cabin and property was awsome. Really enjoyed sitting outside and hearing all the birds. Only negative I have and really hate to say anything, but there was a lot of black hair all over the bathroom, kinda had to wonder about cleanliness it was even on the curtains. But we would definitely use sgain if we came that way. Thanks again.

Thank you so much for your review and for staying with us. We’re so glad you enjoyed the cabin, property, and peaceful outdoor setting. We also appreciate you mentioning the hair issue in the bathroom. We take cleanliness very seriously, especially in our pet-friendly cabins, and this is not the standard we aim for. We will be addressing this with our cleaning team. Thank you again for your honest feedback, and we’d love the opportunity to host you again in the future.

The cabin was lovely and quiet inside.It is not tremendously private, most curtains had to stay closed.The fire pit was an absolute win. The Christmas decorations were very charming!Added a picture from visiting Cherokee and sitting beside the river shops enjoying coffee. The weather was kind and the view was always clear.When outside we felt like we were in the neighbor's yard, while he had a very heated discussion on the phone (on Christmas Eve, even). Later, he set off fire crackers. Very odd choices. Didn't affect our evening, fortunately and you couldn't hear them inside, which was surprising.It was a straight shot drive to Cherokee and the Blue Ridge Parkway, less than 15 minutes to meet my family who were staying at the Casino and easy to pop back to the cabin to change and grab things for different activities.

Quick trip to relax

The little cabin was all that we needed. Nothing fancy, but very cozy and comfortable. A short driving distance between Bryson City and Cherokee. Jimmy Macs is a great place to eat. Yummy food and not too expensive. We took several hikes to see the waterfalls - just beautiful. We would definitely stay there again.
