The pictures do not do the cabin justice! This place is beautiful, has all the necessities that you need, and the sweetest welcome notes/gifts! Cheri is a great host and is available all the time for questions. We had a wonderful winter family trip here and look forward to coming back in the summer!

Papaws creek side cabin was a great place to stay! Check in was a breeze, hosts were quick to communicate, and the cabin was well stocked and clean. Extra touches, such as hot chocolate and Christmas mugs left for us, were much appreciated. Hot tub was great. We also loved the screened in porch and the fact that you can hear the creek. We just wish it was warm enough to sit out on the porch. My son and husband enjoyed playing pool and air hockey in the game room. We plan to book again when it’s warm so we can tube the river and do the zip line tour. The nearby Nantahala on the river restaurant had the best Reuben and the best chicken Alfredo dish we’ve had!

Perfect holiday getaway

We wanted a place to take our kids and have a few days away to be together for Christmas. This place was perfect! It was decorated so beautifully, there was plenty of stuff to do in the house and they even gave us some suggestions of places to go and have some fun in the area.

Perfect for family getaway

We had a great time staying here. It rained most of the time we were here but the place was perfect for our kids. They loved the game room and hot tub. The one day it didn’t rain we enjoyed the creek that runs in front of the home and making s’mores at the fire pit.

Great Mountain Vacation

Papaw’s was a great house to stay in with friends and our children. The kids were entertained in the game room, the hot tub, and the large yard! The adults were able to relax and enjoy the newly renovated cabin. We loved the screened porches! It’s close and easy to get to the National Park, Bryson City, and Fontana Dam. Thanks for providing a great house for a great vacation!

Amazing stay

We had a great weekend! The home was beautiful! The kids really enjoyed pac man and the game room. Everyone loved the hot tub, and the host even left us a s’mores kit to enjoy by the fire. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a peaceful relaxing weekend. The location is great if you are going rafting at NOC.

Great place to stay near NOC

We enjoyed staying at Cheri’s PawPaw cabin very much! The place was spotless, very nicely and comfortably furnished. Game room was an instant hit with the kids. As was the big fire pit. Cheri was a very attentive host and we loved the s’mores kit she left for us to enjoy. We could not ask for better place to stay and we will be back!

Great getaway

Cheri and Harold were the kindest hosts! The fireplace, hot tub and screened in porch were so relaxing and the welcome goodies were so sweet. We even had an impromptu foosball tournament! Plenty of space to be together or lounge separately - there was a TV in every room and any channel you could want. The ultimate hideaway - perfect for a long weekend away❤️

Beautiful mountain home

Every thing was so clean, all we had to take was groceries and clothes, all kinds of cooking pots, coffee on the counter ready to make. This was the best equipped house i have ever stayed in. We will be going back. Close to Bryson City, Cherokee, Fontana, just a perfect getaway house to rent. The kids loved the hot tub and game room. Rafting close by.

Rockhounding getaway

We total enjoyed our stay from the beautiful house to the sound of the creek acrossed the street while sitting on the porch, the hot tube and fire pit was a bonus. The owners have the cabin very well stocked. We will be booking again in the fall as I bring a group of people up every month to go mining. Thank you for you hospitality. Jim and the crew

Wonderful Property

Papaw’s was by far one of the nicest rentals that we have stayed in on vacations. It has a fabulous floor plan and was spotless. The property owner, Cheri, was very responsive to any questions and even messaged us to make sure our stay always as expected. My 2 sisters and I along with our Dad and families traveled to Bryson City for a weekend to take a train ride on the Great Smokey Mtn Rail. This location is less than 20 minutes from the depot. I would highly recommend for anyone to stay here.

Fun Times

We had such a great time here. Cheri was fantastic and so was her lovely home. We were 6 adults and 4 kiddos. Everyone had a great time The s’mores basket was such a treat, the kiddos loved them(and so did the adults) and the colored fire was also a hit. We all agreed that we would come back.

Exceeded Expectations

Our stay at Papaw’s Cabin was nothing short amazing. From day 1, Cheri is super responsive and the sweetest host we’ve experienced. Hot tub is great, game room kept the kids occupied and the outdoors…so relaxing! Just a short drive away from the city, we were able to explore the city and get back with plenty of time for the kids to wind down with extra time to play. We even had a day trip to Gatlinburg, less than 2 hrs away and lunch at Jason Aldean’s. So good. We will absolutely be back to stay at Papaw’s Cabin!!!
