Property is very close and convenient to reach all there is to do around Cherokee, and Bryson city!

Great place to stay if you are going out or staying in! Tons of activities at the house, and located close to so many fun things to do. Haywood Smokehouse in only a 15 minute drive to the Dillion location, and we highly recommend it. Casino was a blast as well as the fishing.

We were close to everything but just far enough away to feel safe and quiet at night. It’s a very nice home that is much bigger than i expected.

Great location

We loved the old home place! It was updated inside with modern amenities and the location to the cassino was just right. It is closer than you think if you were just looking at a map. We plan to come back again soon. Also, if you are a golfer or have a golf group, the property is very close to Sequoyah National.

The property is excellent and located in great spot. A huge roomy house that provides privacy for all guests. Massive amount of land that you see deer and other wildlife.

Everything Smoky Mountains

Spacious farmhouse met all our families needs, and a spacious kitchen made cooking easy. Coffee maker and pods were an extra touch. Use of all outdoor amenities- disc golf, hot tub, grill and fire put enhanced our visit . Floor plan allowed each family member to enjoy their own private area with multiple bathrooms. Easy access to fishing, golf, Santa's Land and the casino. We loved our stay, and we will be back.

Mountain getaway

The house is an old farmhouse that has been remodeled and updated into a beautifully home. Huge yard that is fenced in with a gate. The house location was good not hard to get to and right off 441. Short drive to Bryson city and the drive across to gatlinburg is beautiful. We played cornhole almost every evening at the house. It was great for relaxing and enjoying the piece and quiet.

Nice remodel, but a few problems

The house was nice. It was noisy because of the highway and the leaves were all gone. A row of evergreens on the highway side would be a nice addition. The sewage smell was really strong so there is a sewage problem, but we had no backups in the house. The hot tub leaked and the heater never got the water above 82, so we couldn't use it. We enjoyed the open yard. It was great for playing.

Response from VrboOwner on 7 Dec, 2021
Thanks for your input, and I am sorry for any inconvenience. I wish you had contacted me other than just when checking in; the jacuzzi has a setting to kick the heat on (it had just been drained and clean which is why it was a little cold). We do have a huge row of trees between the house and highway about 2 acres from the house. Plumbing was fine, and now that I know-we did call our septic service just in case. Again, in the future, contact me on any of these issues it's no problem, we want to make sure you have the best stay always! Please contact me for a discount on your next stay;).

Bigger than expected but not internet

The house is very pretty, spacious for big family. The hot tub was very well maintained, clean and great temperature. But if you have to work or use WiFi the internet never work. The grilled was missing a part that the owner kindly told us to instal it if we want to use it… and one of the wood plank on the deck is broken… my mom almost fell … I will be happy to share a pic with the owner if he wants. Fridge wasn’t fully clean either. Overall we had a lot of fun, just that I couldn’t do work there because the lack of internet. Thank you Brian for let us to be at your place. Best Regards Ingrid
