The Cove cabin was very clean and neat. Check-in was easy. The host was responsive. Living area downstairs, bedrooms upstairs. The kitchen was well stocked with any utensils, pot & pans needed to cook. The cabin is very close to the sites in Cherokee.

Cozy and secluded, the privacy was great. If you plan to spend a lot of time on the front porch, the all wooden furniture gets a bit uncomfortable. But, there are also Adirondack chairs around a fire pit. The convenience to town and activities we planned to do was great.
