Great place on the river

This is a great spot to stay. It has all you need to enjoy a peaceful stay. The driveway is not for the faint as you're in the mountains, but it wasn't an issue. The next time we're in Cherokee to fish we will stay here. Thanks Day!

Here's a review you can use for your Vrbo experience in Cherokee, NC:---Amazing Weekend Getaway

We had a fantastic time at this cabin in Cherokee, NC! The place was very clean and well-maintained, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The weather was perfect during our stay, which added to our enjoyment. One of the highlights of our trip was the elk viewing—it was truly a remarkable experience! We also came for a concert, and it did not disappoint. All in all, it was an amazing weekend filled with great memories. I highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of the area!

Cozy fun on the water

The bungalow was clean and neat and comfortable. The river view was beautiful and we "fished" but didn't catch anything (newbies). The dock was really nice to relax on.

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!
