The cabin was a perfect place to expore Smoky Mt Natl Pk from. It was very cozy for a winter stay and everything was clean and well kept. We loved the yard for the dog!
Cute little cabin with all the essentials. My husband and I went with our 2 dogs and had a great time. It actually snowed while we were there and it was beautiful. We have AWD and had no problem getting into or out of the property. We Would stay again
The place was just as described! Warm, cozy, inviting and even decorated for Christmas. The communication with the host was top tier! We loved our stay and definitely recommend! 10/10 Would book again!

The cabin was lovely and quiet inside.It is not tremendously private, most curtains had to stay closed.The fire pit was an absolute win. The Christmas decorations were very charming!Added a picture from visiting Cherokee and sitting beside the river shops enjoying coffee. The weather was kind and the view was always clear.When outside we felt like we were in the neighbor's yard, while he had a very heated discussion on the phone (on Christmas Eve, even). Later, he set off fire crackers. Very odd choices. Didn't affect our evening, fortunately and you couldn't hear them inside, which was surprising.It was a straight shot drive to Cherokee and the Blue Ridge Parkway, less than 15 minutes to meet my family who were staying at the Casino and easy to pop back to the cabin to change and grab things for different activities.
We have stayed at the property on multiple visits and we have never been disappointed. The property is clean and comfortable and the owner is very attentive to the needs of the guests. Will stay in one of his properties next time through.
A great little cabin in a beautiful setting. A perfect get a way. Very quiet and relaxing. The cabin was well equipped with everything you would need during your stay. We highly recommend this wonderful cabin!! The host provides wonderful communications and is very responsive!

Thanks Kim! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. Come back anytime!
The little cabin was all that we needed. Nothing fancy, but very cozy and comfortable. A short driving distance between Bryson City and Cherokee. Jimmy Macs is a great place to eat. Yummy food and not too expensive. We took several hikes to see the waterfalls - just beautiful. We would definitely stay there again.
Great location easy to get to different places was clean and had what we needed
On a main road but you could not hear the traffic had a great nights sleep
