Those are the moments we hope every family takes home with them! We're so glad you enjoyed your time in Cherokee as well, and we can't wait to welcome you back for another stay!

The cabin was perfect. Had everything we needed. Plenty of space for our week away, just the hubby and me. The ONLY thing that wasn't ideal, for us, was the driveway down to the cabin. It is very narrow, gravel and steep. If you are pulling a trailer/bringing motorcycles you may want to consider that. But we made it work! Otherwise, we had no complaints and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The hosts and their property manager were great!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay at Lazy Daze and found the cabin comfortable and well-equipped for your getaway. We're also happy we could offer multiple parking options for your trailer to make your stay easier. While Lazy Daze is one of our easiest cabins to access with no steep mountain roads, we understand that everyone's comfort level with gravel driveways is different. We're thrilled it all worked out, and we'd love to welcome you back to Lazy Daze for another relaxing stay!

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.
