About this property

Close to river for fishing, canoes, kayaks, tubing, swimming, antiques in town

Our cabin on the grounds of Old Camp Miramichee, which was THE YWCA camp for girls and young women, lies less than two minutes from the Southfork of the Spring river, and it is indeed a place of rest and refreshment. Once the kitchen of the dining hall for Camp Miramichee, our cabin has been converted to a two bedroom, one full bath cabin with full kitchen facilities, and a lounge area equipped with satellite television for your enjoyment and relaxation. The large porch facing the parking area was once the place for campers to have snacks given to us by Ophelia, our cook. The memories of banana pudding and bug juice linger. This cabin lies in close proximity to the Southfork of the Spring River—less than a two minute walk.. One may enjoy swimming, canoeing, fishing, or simply sitting by the river watching and listening to the water flow and re-creating oneself after a busy work week. Should you, our guest, be more adventurous, horseback riding, golfing, and a new zipline as well as an array of other activities are available in the nearby areas.
The Cabin is closed and winterized from November 1-Approximately April 15th of each year. Opening dates will be dependent upon the weather in Hardy.

Regular events: Main Street Day in Hardy--3rd Friday of the Month
Opry Music on Cedar Hil--Every Friday and Saturday Nights
Gospel Music Opry--Every 1st and 3rd Saturday nights
Jammin at Flat Creek Dulcimer Shop --Every Wednesday Afternoon

There are a number of festivals and events in Hardy, Cherokee Village and the surrounding areas during the summer.

My best friend and I had a wonderful time here! Close to everything. The cabin has everything you need! The beds are so comfortable! The screened in porch was so nice! No worry about mosquitos! We went rafting with the company River Stop and they were wonderful as well! All and all, was a great weekend get-a-way for me and my best friend!!

Comfortable place

The rock house is in good shape, the kitchen well equipped, and the beds were comfortable. The listing says two minutes to river, but you have to drive over a low water bridge that is too slick to walk across. There is a spot to park near the river, but there is no access point for a kayak or swimming.

Rock cabin

Very clean, old cabin. Walked over to the “dance floor” and down by the river. Pretty rough area. Loved the cabin though! Great meal at Lakeview Cafe in Cherokee!

Read description

Cute little cabin. Not anywhere near where VRBO map showed, and was the only reason for booking. Cabin was 30 minutes away from where we thought we were staying. Cabin was mainly clean, but shower/tub was not cleaned before we stayed. Cabin's screened in front porch and firepit faces directly to the neighbor's house and yard. Neighbors were also under construction remodeling their house, so our stay was hammering and sawing in the day, and into the night, where the neighbors used lights to keep working. Would not stay here again.

Cute cabin

Cabin was clean & cozy! I loved the history aspect since it was once part of the camp. However, river access was not convenient. You had to wade through a stream or trespass on neighbors property to get to it.

Great place and very clean

Check in was easy. She texted me the info the morning of checkin. Easy to find with the directions provided. It’s located close to downtown Hardy and the float place we used was within 5 minutes. There’s even a little pub across the road that we went to and sang karaoke. The cabin was quiet and didn’t have any issues at all. We used the grill to make steaks and they even had charcoal for us to use. Very happy with the stay. We will be back!!!

Informative host

Helpful, friendly host. We were the first to rent the cabin for the season. The cabin did not smell musty or "closed-up". I expected it to smell like it handy been aired out, etc, but no such smell. Also, no smoking allowed in cabin, so we didn't have to deal with that leftover enclosed nicotine smoke smell. There was a little charcoal left over in the screened-in porch and we grilled steaks. It was a little cold to get in the river but we did have a look. Clean, the bed had a mattress topper that was very comfortable for my back. My husband hated the thick pillows but that's just a matter of preference. That's why I bring my own pillow with me where ever i travel.

Hardy..cute and quaint

We had a great time in Hardy. Cute little shops, friendly people, and floating the river was very fun. If you are wanting to get away to where tome forgot this is the place! The cabin..looked quite run down on the outside however the inside was very clean and homey. The keyless entry worked when it decided to. The owner was very nice when we spoke with her about it but our cell service was shotty at best there. It was overall a great experience

Perfect!! Hidden jewel!!

Everything about this cabin was perfect!! Completely stocked with everything and anything you could need!! We literally only needed our clothes and food!! I cannot say enough good about this place!! Neat, clean and cozy!! Best bed I've slept in and I take several trips!! Secluded and private! Screened in porch was perfect in the evenings for grilling and early morning coffee listening to the creek, the birds and watching the squirrel play!! The creek is slippery!!! Heed the warning!! We had our own access to the river with canoe, kayak, and floats available for our use. There was a grill down by the water with plenty of seating as well. There was a patio area by the water that can be used for a dance floor!! I have never been to the spring river or Hardy but my experience was far better than my expectations!! Nice little town with restaurants, dollar store, grocery store, and several antique stores. When I tell you our trip was perfect I'm not even exaggerating!! I hated leaving!! Carolyn could not have been more helpful!! Before the trip she sent several detailed informational emails on the cabin, surrounding area, town, amenities and activities. To the point I thought "what else could I possibly ask"! Well I did end up having more questions and she responded immediately!! In the end my main question was "when can I book again"? This will forever be my "go to place" from now on!! You will not be disappointed and the reviews and online info does not do it justice!! Just perfect!! I feel like I found a "hidden jewel" in the cabin, the river, the town, and miss carolyn!!
