A friendly reminder will be sent out the night before you go. This is all to help the cleaners visit go a little smoother.

(As we are waiting for Cherokee to provide access to WiFi and cable in the area, please enjoy the satellite & old fashioned DVD collection, or better yet, enjoy a book as you unwind from a hectic, daily life.
Cell phone service is good, so you should be able to access the internet via your phone.)

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!

Cherokee & The Smokies
We thought the house was very clean and roomy enough for 3 adults and 2 kids, and in a great location (secluded). We had a great time and would do it again, although we would plan it a little better - see the 3 points below. Beware that there is WiFi and no T-mobile service (despite what the host says) and download ahead of time all check in info, maps, and itineraries. Also of note - the master bath toilet is in direct view from the bed and there is no door or curtain. Finally, on the last day, the host sends check out instructions and asks that we start the dishwasher and a load of laundry but there is only 1 pod provided for each - if you plan on using the machines, plan accordingly.

Wonderful property close to everything
A friend and I stayed for 2 nights for a weekend getaway. The house was very nice and clean. There are cool little pieces of information about Cherokee which were fun to read. The kitchen was surprisingly well stocked! The close proximity to the casino was definitely a plus. We would definitely be back!

Spacious, but not quite what we expected
The lower trundle bed was missing a mattress, so the accommodations weren't really suitable for 6 people. We were expected to do tasks typically done by cleaners, i.e., remove bed linens, wash towels. The driveway was located around a blind curve which made coming and going a bit dicey.

Mountain /River View
We enjoyed our stay. The close proximity to the casino is a definite plus. It was very peaceful and overall the property was clean. Convenient to grocery store and fast food . Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate so we were unable to explore too much of the area. The mountains are beautiful!!!!
