Great location close to anything you could want or need. I highly recommend this place. Secluded but within mins of town. The water was crystal clear. The place itself spotless and perfect for a couple getting away. If you’re going to Cherokee don’t pass up on this place!

We used this as a home base for slow mornings on the patio and hiking in GSMNP. It was about a 15 minute drive to the entrance of the park. We appreciated the quiet area. Day was super easy to communicate with and was super flexible. No complaints from us!

Easy to check in and great communication from the host. We didn’t want to leave and have already been talking about coming back. Beautiful cabin overlooking river. Well maintained and clean. Day had the cabin well stocked and checked in occasionally. Maybe we’ll have better luck fishing next time.

Great place on the river

This is a great spot to stay. It has all you need to enjoy a peaceful stay. The driveway is not for the faint as you're in the mountains, but it wasn't an issue. The next time we're in Cherokee to fish we will stay here. Thanks Day!
