This was a beautiful spot with incredible views! The home was very spacious for our family of four. The location to Bryson City and Cherokee was perfect for exploring each on day trips. The house was very clean, the owners were helpful when needed, and we all commented on how comfortable the beds were.

We enjoyed the stay. The view was wonderful. The cabin was nice. For the money I was charged, I did not expect to have to wash and dry our towels. Also when you check out on Sunday, the trash recycling center is closed so we had to take our trash with us. Owner needs to update all instructions to read the same as contract. Notes posted in the home did not match expectation on printed notes in home. I would suggest they be read very carefully. We did not use the fireplace, firepit, nor grill.

Great - just as advertised

We enjoyed our stay! The cabin is in a gated neighborhood where the cabins are spread out, not right next to one another. The view was pretty and the cabin was clean. The drive to either Bryson City or Cherokee was not far (maybe 10-20 minutes either way) so it's a great location.

We enjoyed the cabin, but because we were enjoying the outside so much we didn't get as much time to hang. The cabin was perfect for our group. We were in Cherokee for a fishing tournament raising money for cancer, so were on the river and in town a lot. Didn't get to enjoy the cabin as much as we hoped. The smoke detectors did start to beep the last night - so please check those.
