This is the perfect little cabin if you're looking for a romantic getaway with a private dock. Our 1 bedroom/1 bathroom cabin is beautifully decorated and designed for relaxation. The front porch has a view of of the Oconaluftee River.
Sit on the porch and enjoy your morning coffee while you watch the Canadian Geese and Otters play around in the water. Just maybe you will get lucky and see the elk that walk the driveway. If you like, take your coffee to the dock and sit for more relaxation. Bring your Kayak or Canoe for more enjoyment of the river. Steps are located near the cabin to access the river. . Wi-fi is available along with a Roku device for online streaming. Netflix is available. No local cable TV but who needs TV when you have a beautiful river to enjoy.

Amazing romantic little cabin
I loved staying here… Day was amazing with communication! We woke up one morning to the power out and we had already received a text from Day explaining a limb had fell on the power line and a time when the power would be back on. It’s a great place if your looking for a small romantic get away. I will definitely stay here again!

Peace on the River
We were pleased to find how secluded the property was despite being close to other homes. It was wonderful being on the river and having the opportunity to fish whenever we wanted. This property was closely located to Bryson City and Cherokee which was ideal for dinner plans and souvenir shops. This was such a charming place and we will gladly visit again!

A Perfect Getaway
The Love Nest proved to be the perfect getaway for us! The cabin is absolutely charming in every way and we loved the porch overlooking the beautiful river. The property is conveniently located almost precisely between Cherokee and Bryson City with each being a short drive away. Day was a wonderful host who communicated well and was very helpful.

Birthday getaway
We were very pleased with cabin # 75. Great location and plenty of privacy. The cabin was clean, neat and beautifully decorated. Loved the fishing dock that was located just steps away from our cabin! We will definitely plan a return trip in the future. We would highly recommend. Our host Day, was easily accessible and very friendly 😊

Good weekend getaway
Definitely smaller than I expected and could more accurately be described as a studio. It was cozy and comfortable for the two of us for two nights, but an extended stay would have been challenging. We enjoyed having easy access to the lake/river. Very conveniently located.

Fantastic view
The view from the deck over the river is fantastic. Very cozy but perfect for just two people that will not be spending much time inside. The driveway would be the only concern. If it had been wet I don’t believe our rear wheel drive vehicle would have made it out.

Serenity, and proximity
I attended the national convention of American Indians. Therefore, I had work to do on a computer during my stay. I sat on the balcony overlooking the river, and found it to be the ideal place to do a bit of work. I took a few minutes on my first night there, walked a few steps to the river, and caught a trout. very close to the cherokee nation and the conference center at the casino hotel. It was wonderful.

Visit to the Smokies
Very clean, small, unit but perfect for our needs and the location central to access to GSNP. Got to see 33 elk just barely inside the park and one in Cherokee roaming around. We ate at a local mexican locale, very nice and once in Bryson City at the Iron Wok. Between the two go for the mexican, but the Iron Wok close runner-up. Would rent again.

Great place to relax by the water
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here and were perfectly comfortable in this beautiful little cabin. This place is so peaceful. We enjoyed canoeing, fishing and just sitting on the dock relaxing. If you enjoy fly fishing, there are a lot of trout in this river. No need to travel away from the cabin, it was all just outside. Day is a wonderful host, she checked on us several times to make sure we were enjoying our stay and to see if we needed anything. We would definitely stay here again!

Cozy cabin with very pretty river view
This rental cabin is a single room plus kitchenette and bath. There is a back porch overlooking the beautiful Oconaluftee River. On Friday night/Saturday morning the porch was really pleasant, all we heard was birdsong. Saturday evening/Sunday morning the house across the river was occupied and the sound really carries. Future visitors may want to be aware that the bed is full-sized and has a very soft mattress.
