Excellent communication with the owner, great location is near everything , very clean and spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. The only detail is they described river front and it’s not. The river is across street and you can’t see from the house.
The house was clean and contained good amenities. We enjoyed the grill and firepit. Unfortunately, we did not see the nice cutting knives under the over until we were leaving. The fire alarm is extremely sensitive. Each time we cooked on the stove, it set the alarm off. Last, the VRBO posting states there is a twin bed with trundle. We did not find this.
I stayed here with my family for Christmas break and we loved it! It was spacious and had everything we needed. The location was in a more secluded area but very close to town. Abby was a great host and very responsive with any issues we had. Overall we had a great stay!
We loved the house. 2 bedrooms with a bathroom one end and master suite the other end. Perfect for our mixed group of family and friends. Kitchen and living room were central and we enjoyed chatting and game time there. The house is only 2.5 miles from Cherokee so very convenient for visiting the Oconoluftee village and Unto These Hills performance as well as souvenir shops, coffee shops and restaurants. A delightful stay with a wonderful host.
Great stay and great location for the outdoor enthusiast
We had a wonderful stay, the communication was great and the home was very clean. Only issue was the listing had a bunk bed but it was a full bed resulting in my teenage boys sharing which they didn’t like. The location was close to our favorite fishing spots and even gave access to some private fishing areas. This is a great stay that I highly recommend!
First, I want to say we had a good stay. Initially we had to adjust room assignments because the 3rd bedroom has a double bed instead of the 2 twins as indicated on the VRBO listing. My grands were good about it but a bit disappointed. We agree with another reviewer that the very open style mastbath suite
