Bowling and fun
We were in town for a bowling tournament at the casino. There were 4 of us and a small pet. We were greeted by the most beautiful butterflies I have seen! They were on the bushes right where we drove up. The property is gorgeous and the house was perfectly suited for our needs. It was very clean and Abby was great at answering any questions very quickly. I would definitely recommend and stay again! The master bedroom shower is amazing.

Great fishing cabin
The location was great, central to all the places we wanted to fish. We enjoyed playing cards on the deck when the fish weren’t biting!

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!!!!

Perfect Vacation Stay
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!

Beautiful home in a majestic location
Had a wonderful stay, the home was comfortable and the mattresses were firm as we like them. Also the short story books they have kept were a treat for everyone there, who wouldn’t mind small bed time stories. We had a good time. It’s not very far from the major scenic locations of smokey mountains.

Overall really good stay
Our stay was overall really good!! We loved the master bedroom and bathroom. Everything worked out with the twin bed issue. Maybe in the description of the bedrooms you could write twin bed/trundle instead of 2 twins. The whole house is gorgeous. When I reserved the house I didn’t think my mom would have a hard time getting up the stairs but she did but we worked that out as well. Thank you for responding to our phone call in a timely manner! Really enjoyed our stay. Would stay again if we come back to Cherokee.

We loved this place. So peaceful in the morning to sit on deck if you drink coffee before starting your day. We watched the bird, and the nice surprise of 2 pot belly pigs from the Nieghbor we’re a exciting surprise we found. Very clean, spacious and the host is very helpful and communication was great fast response. Will stay again.
