We really enjoyed our stay at Fox Run. The house and the property was absolutely beautiful! There was plenty of room and it was so cozy. The best part about this vacation for us as a family was staying at this property. We will be staying there again.

Very beautiful setting in nature with mountains surrounding. Creek that runs along the side gives a great sound of rushing water . The inside was dusty which caused sneezing at night while sleeping. Thought it could have been cleaned properly would have been a perfect stay .

The cabin and the surrounding was beautiful, cozy, scenic, peaceful. We like to cook our own meals and the kitchen was fully equpped with blender, 2 kinds coffemakers, slowcooker (very impressed with this one) you name it they have it. Owners were great communicating promptly. The only takeaway was the rough road going up to the cabin. Luckily gps directed us well. The owners gave us detailed directions as back up just in case data connectivity dropped. Overall we are very satisfied.

This property needs so much attention. First of all the grass was so tall around the property. I know that we have had a lot of rain but it certainly needed to be mowed around the cabin. Also, we had to wash a load of bath towels and wash cloths the next day because there were no extras. It took 2 hours for that load to complete and then another one and half hours to dry them. We also had to use the hamper with some weight pushed againist the folding doors to keep them from opening so we could use the toilet since the washer and dryer was in the bathroom . The rugs in both bathrooms were so dirty. The wood floors throughout the cabin were also nasty. I don’t know how long the cleaning crew has to clean each cabin but if the washer and dryer has any effect than I don’t even know if they even have time to wash and dry the sheets before moving on to the next one. As a matter of fact, the dryer was still running with a load of towels when we checked in. Really needs a good deep cleaning throughout and some TLC.

Sorry, you feel this way about our cabin in the woods. Yes the lawn mowing was due. It is just that our lawn person was sick with flu when he was scheduled for us. He was delayed by a few days. And we provide just one set of towels and washcloths. If you need additional ones, you could have requested and our crew would have happily delivered at a cost. We do send out a message the morning after you checked in to ask if you need additional items. The laundry taking 2 hours for washing and another one and a half for drying means you may have set it up incorrectly. Our crew regularly uses it to wash and it had never taken this long. The rugs in the bathroom, we will have it checked out and replace as needed. The cabin does have some natural wear on the hardwood floor in a couple of spots — it’s a rustic mountain cabin, so some character and weathering is part of the charm, though we understand it’s not everyone’s preference. We appreciate you letting us know and will keep an eye on it for future guests.

Clean, comfortable and close to everything.

We really enjoyed the small touches like the Xmas decorations. The house was clean and very comfortable, we loved relaxing in the chairs in front of the fire. It was easy to find and close to all the amenities. Would definitely come back again

Cabin was exactly as described. Pictures do not do it justice. The sound of the creek and constant running creek was so soothing while slipping hot tea on the porch. Our mother loved this trip because of the seclusion and the Mountain View. The host was super responsive. Beds are comfy and kitchen has everything you need to stay in and cook a nice meal, you just have to bring the groceries. We loved our stay and will definitely rebook when we return to this town.

Fun time! Cozy and secluded!

Second time staying at Horse Shoe Bend... there's a reason we came back. House is close to all the fun things to do in Cherokee but we spent a lot of time hanging out on the porches and in the hot tub!! Great spaces inside---worked well for our two combined families of kids and dogs. Well equipped kitchen and owners were awesome to work with… We will definitely be back I'm sure!

Great time!

It was remote (very remote) BUT was nice to get away. The house was nicely laid out, had everything we needed. The property was on a ravine and cleared off piece with trees around. I am glad we took the SUV because you drive through a creek to get to the house, which was fun!

Quiet cabin in the woods

This is a very nice cabin in a wooded neighborhood close to the main access roads and a short drive into Cherokee or the National Park. Comfortable bedrooms, spacious main living area with cozy couches, and peaceful deck perfect for outdoor grilling or eating out. Owner is very nice and accessible if there are any issues. We suggest a 4WD if you have one as the road into the cabin is steep. We enjoyed our peaceful hiking vacation!

Right on the money!!

Cabin was great! It was just what we needed and in close proximatey to the casino for the concert there we attended. Donnie was great, let us check in early, called to make sure we arrived and told us to call if we needed anything! The driveway, not too bad, just pay attention!! Hot tub on a clear night yields to millions of stars, so don't forget to look up! Thank you so much Donnie! We will be back!

Great cabin !!!!

Our family stayed from 12/20-12/27/2014 . We had a fantastic , relaxing time at Horse Shoe Bend. Enjoyed the great view every morning from the swing in the front porch . We only used the grill outside once , due to the cold . The Jacuzzi was wonderful. We visited Sylva and Bryson City a few times , drove to Gatlingurg , TN and had a great time there. We also visited the Great Smokey Mountain National Park, went hiking on several trails, went to see several of the waterfalls , Mingo Falls was my favorite. Donnie was a pleasure to work with . We truly enjoyed our stay and hope to return during summer months soon .

Great little place and location

House was great along with the location. Road was narrow but still plenty of space on each side with a large pickup. House was clean and furniture was clean. The biggest downside was we specifically wanted a hot tub but went to get in the first night and had debris in it(sand, dirt and leaves) so we dipped out what we could. By the second night it was obvious that the water had been in there a while and a lack of chemicals due to the stagnant smell of the water and was already cloudy. By the 3rd night you couldn’t see the bottom of the tub so we only were able to use it for 1 night. Other than the hot tub everything was great!
