Family fishing trip

3 generations of our family traveled together for our annual fishing trip. This cabin was all we wanted and more. Beautiful, clean, private bedrooms for 3 couples. Beautiful front porch with wonderful views of the river. Would stay here again! Great location and easy drove to Cherokee or Bryson City.

Great property!! Pics don't do it justice. We enjoyed our stay and had everything we could possibly need. Day was a great host and checked in with us often. Even the most random questions were answered very quickly and Day was super helpful with questions not relating to the property. The view from the master is beautiful. We will stay here again.

Quiet getaway

This property was exactly has advertised . The property manager was easy to talk to and answered any questions I had. Location is great if you are looking for a private, peaceful and quiet getaway . My kids enjoyed having their own private dock to Jump off of and swim in the river. The house was cozy and very clean one minus for me personally was there are no ceiling fans throughout and I usually sleep with a fan on but other than that this place is perfect! Location is close to many things but yet secluded. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Wonderful Girl’s Weekend

The cabin and property were beautiful, we spent much of the weekend on the front porch or at the fire pit in the back after dark. The casino was just a short drive away for a fun afternoon outing on Saturday. The kitchen was well equipped and the bathrooms very clean. We loved every minute of it. We got to see several elk on the way out of Cherokee. You have to take all of your trash with you when you leave but there is a dumpster not far away so it wasn’t a big deal, just make sure you have some extra large and sturdy trash bags if you’re doing a lot of cooking and have to haul your trash in the back of an SUV like we did!

Time to escape from the real world

This was about spending time with family and getting away from our everyday lives. The house was everything I had read in the reviews. The driveway down to the property is a little step but we had an all wheel vehicle so it didn’t affect us.This was one of the cleanest rental houses I have rented before, one of my favorite parts was sitting on the front porch on the rocking chair just listening to nature, I also saw an otter up close. We fished a bit, not much luck there but it was so beautiful I didn’t mind. I only wished there were more time to stay at the property, but it was time to go back to the real world.
