Whether your looking for adventure or romance your sure to find it in this one bedroom, one bath cabin on the river. It has been remodeled. And the bed and sofa are new. Large shared yard with firepit, swing, grill and picnic table on the river. Also, there are a few fishing poles, you are welcome to use. The cabin is centrally located between Cherokee and Bryson City, so if you want to gamble or ride the train you are only minutes away. There are hiking trails and waterfalls nearby in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park . Or go whitewater rafting and ziplining at the Nantahala Gorge. Must be able to walk down uneven stone stairs. Or if art galleries and boutiques is your thing, Bryson City has that too along with Breweries. Or you could just chill and grill at the cabin. Lie around in the living room and read a book while listening to the sound of the rushing river outside. Snuggle up next to the firepit and roast some marshmellows. Also, now with central heat and air. And has smart tv now If you need a place for 4 people instead of just 2 check out vrbo number 4672931.

It was a very lovely stay. It rained a lot so we didn’t get a chance to use the grill or fire pit, but would have enjoyed those amenities provided. Everything we needed was provided by the host inside the cabin, the bed was more comfortable than my own, and the view was just amazing. The location was perfect for exploring surrounding towns, only a few minutes to Cherokee, Bryson City, Sylva, and Dillsboro shopping and playing. We absolutely loved it and didn’t want to leave.
The property is lovely. The space was just right. It was a friendly atmosphere and fun was had by all. The location is near everything that you would want to do in Cherokee.
I loved the stay. Hostess was very kind and helpful. Property is well maintained and in such a gorgeous location on the river. You could just sit and enjoy nature or you are a short drive from any of the fun towns to explore.
The property was beautiful, clean, and somewhat secluded. Kathy was so helpful and even asked if I needed anything when she went to the store. They helped me carry my things when I got there, and when I left. I will 100% be coming back as often as possible! Just be careful using Apple Maps. 🤦🏼♀️ Thank you so much for the hospitality, and I’m sure I will see you guys soon!
The view was great and communication with the owner was as well. Just know this is the Bottom level of a 3 story home. I see that now after the fact but wasn't aware during booking. The pictures don't really sell how small of a living space this is. Window Unit cools the bottom level but not sure how effective it was during the day since we weren't there during the day but It kept us cool at night. The bed was extremely comfortable as well. The furniture is small so take that in to account when looking at the pictures. Overall great stay especially once the shock of the small space subsided.
My Mother and I stayed at this fabulous property on the bottom level and it could not have been anymore perfect. From the moment we arrived we had our own special place to park our vehicle , we walked down the steps to our little house and OMG what a spectacular view of the running river! Our place was clean, comfy and cute as a button.
Now, I want to talk about our awesome fabulous hostess Ms,Kathy! She was absolutely wonderful in every way. I felt like I had known her my whole life. She goes beyond to make sure you are comfortable and you have everything you need to have the best trip ever . For instance My Mom and I fixed breakfast our first morning there and we could not locate a toaster which was no big deal at all we just used the adorable little oven we had. So, that evening My Mom and I was sitting outside by the fire pit and Kathy had came down to check to make sure everything was as expected and actually joined us at the fire pit and somewhere in our conversation the toaster came up . Well, the next morning when we woke up Kathy had placed a toaster at our front door.😊That is just how awesome and fabulous she is! Also , to add to that she picked up our trash every single day and took it off. I just can’t seem to say enough about this trip and about Kathy . I just loved them both !❤️❤️
We will certainly be back and very soon I hope. Thank you so much again Kathy for EVERYTHING and for making our trip one of the best . So thankful I met you and blessed to call you My New Friend! Take Care……

This is not a cabin it is someone's basement. Tiny appliances that barley work DO NOT recommend we had to find somewhere else to stay and have not been contacted back about requesting a refund.
My husband I spent the weekend celebrating his retirement and my birthday. We enjoyed the fire pit and relaxing to the sounds from the river.
The bed was comfortable and overall the cabin is very cozy!
We stayed at the bottom level of the property right across the flowing rover. There's a fire pit with logs in yhe backyard just near the river as well as a swing.
The moment you walk into the unit, you will know that the owners have very lovingly made up the entire place. You have everything that you need during your stay in the apartment. Really loved it and thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

The little apartment was spotlessly clean. The bed was comfortable and we were very happy with the rental. The river was right in the backyard, and it was beautiful. There are steep steps leading down to the apartment, though. That was our only concern.
Small quaint basement apartment basically. Only issue was sound of people walking above. DVD only on Tv but we lived. Wifi is good. Phone service not great but again we survived lol. Place was clean. Kitchen has small stove microwave but bring yr own paper plates and coffee mugs. Just two of us so was perfect. There was wood for firepit and the sound of the river was soothing. Wd be a great spot for a couple or like myself and 11 yr old son. Close to several places but kind of hard to just find a place to eat. But overall I wd stay again. If you have bad knees etc it’s a downhill walk down steps to carry your stuff. Just some advice. Place is great.
These are the things we love about the property: It’s on a beautiful river with mountains in view. There is seating, a fire pit, a grill, and places to eat and relax by the calming sound of the river. The small apt. has everything we need to rest well, fix our own meals and have close proximity to the Smoky Mountains, hiking, Bryson City and more. It is very affordable and the hosts are wonderful, reliable people!
We just finished our 2nd stay and plan to be back in the spring.

Listing is a lie
Under sized window unit I believe it’s the smallest one Lowe’s sells
Very humid in rental
Goose poop everywhere
Bugs inside

Cleanup the place and hire exterminator maybe cut the grass
This place is a DUMP!
