Simple but just what we needed

The cabin is perfectly secluded. The road leading to it has some ruts but not too bad. The driveway is a little steep but we all accessed it using sport mode. The cabin isnt fancy like some, but has the neccessities. If you have little ones, you may want to bring a baby gate to keep them from falling down the stairs.

Was really looking forward to our family enjoying the weekend together but had to end the trip less than 12 hrs after it began due to the fact there were bed bugs.

A beautiful mountain retreat

The house is beautiful and the neighborhood is quite. The approach to the house is a difficult one though and definitely requires 4 wheel drive. We were very grateful that we had it, but it wasn't very obvious on this site that we needed it. All in all, if you can get there, it's a great place and very close to all the places you want to go in the area!

Disaster

We did not stay a single night. Luckily I went by myself to check in our first night. Horrific experience is an understatement. GPS has no idea where this place is. It was the middle of the night. After I “luckily” found it I was amazed that the place is even listed on Vrbo and Vacasa! Do y’all even send someone out to see the properties? IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO PARK 2 VEHICLES, MUCH LESS 3! THERE IS NO ROOM TO TURN AROUND. WE DID NOT STAY THERE A SINGLE NIGHT. HORRIFIC. I’ve stayed with Vrbo and Vacasa many times. Never have I not stayed where I PAID to stay. We had to get hotel rooms at extra cost and one of our guests just cancelled his trip all together. Inexcusable. Period.

As advertised

This is the second time we have stayed here as a group and the house itself is great. 10 guys on a fishing trip and it has plenty of space. Communication with the company that now owns the property was lacking. tried getting in touch twice in the days before and no responses.

Nice, secluded cabin

My friends and I enjoyed our stay, enjoyed the hot tub, and the comfortable setting. Not a knock on the place at all, since it's right in the listing - but you do need a 4WD vehicle to get up the road to the cabin. They aren't just being cautious.

Nice Family-Friendly Getaway

This cabin was perfect for our group of 4 adults and 5 kids. The kitchen is well-stocked with pots, pans, and utensils, and the beds were comfortable. The hot tub was great for relaxing in the evenings. The surroundings are so peaceful.... we particularly enjoyed the mountain views, fresh air, and waking up to the sounds of nature. The cabin is secluded, but just a short drive from Cherokee and the GSM National Park. Overall, we had a great experience and would highly recommend! Things to know: The driveway is STEEP (but this was clearly explained in the listing), and is extra difficult when it's muddy. Also, you may want to bring extra necessities such as paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, etc if staying more than a couple of days.

Amazing property

The cabin itself and the property surrounding it is amazing. The seclusion and privacy allowed us to feel at home when were not out touring. However, when we went to check in the cleaning lady was still there. We were about 10 mins early but she said she would not be finished until 4:30. We were due for check in at 4. The cleaning was not gross but could have been better. The floors were sticky and there was dust and spider webs under the beds and on the walls. Spider webs all along the deck. Other than the little slackness of cleaning and maybe suggest some safety gates at the the entrance to all the stair ways( for toddlers) the cabin was a great stay. Our family had a fantastic time.

Fine stay.

This cabin provided a good place to meet with family over the holiday. The stay could be improved with an adequate number of towels, toilet paper, and paper towels. Also the check out rules require starting a load of laundry but no detergent was supplied.

NEED to MUST have a car with higher ground clearance to manipulate the road and driveway

The cabin was very rustic and dealing with the property manager was great. The direct TV had no signal (needs an updated box from the owner) so bring a computer to stream things to watch. The beds are HORRIBLE. The master bed box spring squeaks so loudly when one moves, the other wakes up. ALL beds have this problem- I tested them. I read it in another review but didn't believe it....BELIEVE IT

Great place for a get together near Cherkoee.

The property was as advertised. Clean and well appointed. The access road and driveway are rough and in need of repair, and the parking area can accommodate five or six vehicles if you back all the way down the hill, otherwise, only three vehicles can park and turn around to exit.

My Review

A beaut of a cabin for sure. The wood used was beautiful! They problem was with the little centipede looking worms all over the ground floor bedroom with the 2 double beds. I realize that these are hard to stop in basement like rooms ...but other guest might not be as understanding as we were , because we live in the country and have these. The Johnson's

Quit little house, Close to the casino

The house is difficult to find on google maps because the dirt road up the mountain doesn’t register. Really close to food, grocery stores and the casino. Everything is under 10 minutes. The hot tub is nice and beds are comfy. The bottom bunk bed was broken so thankfully we didn’t have a 6th person. All in all I would stay at the house again, but maybe not my first choice.

A sweet little getaway in the mountains

We enjoyed our stay very much. We made Thanksgiving dinner together and enjoyed the cabin. A couple of notes to consider: the driveway is VERY STEEP and a little treacherous to navigate; the beds are pretty comfortable, but very squeaky. The hot tub felt so very nice after a day of hiking and/or playing.
