Great stay and great location for the outdoor enthusiast
We had a wonderful stay, the communication was great and the home was very clean. Only issue was the listing had a bunk bed but it was a full bed resulting in my teenage boys sharing which they didn’t like. The location was close to our favorite fishing spots and even gave access to some private fishing areas. This is a great stay that I highly recommend!

Cherokee & The Smokies
We thought the house was very clean and roomy enough for 3 adults and 2 kids, and in a great location (secluded). We had a great time and would do it again, although we would plan it a little better - see the 3 points below. Beware that there is WiFi and no T-mobile service (despite what the host says) and download ahead of time all check in info, maps, and itineraries. Also of note - the master bath toilet is in direct view from the bed and there is no door or curtain. Finally, on the last day, the host sends check out instructions and asks that we start the dishwasher and a load of laundry but there is only 1 pod provided for each - if you plan on using the machines, plan accordingly.

Wonderful property close to everything
A friend and I stayed for 2 nights for a weekend getaway. The house was very nice and clean. There are cool little pieces of information about Cherokee which were fun to read. The kitchen was surprisingly well stocked! The close proximity to the casino was definitely a plus. We would definitely be back!

Spacious, but not quite what we expected
The lower trundle bed was missing a mattress, so the accommodations weren't really suitable for 6 people. We were expected to do tasks typically done by cleaners, i.e., remove bed linens, wash towels. The driveway was located around a blind curve which made coming and going a bit dicey.

Mountain /River View
We enjoyed our stay. The close proximity to the casino is a definite plus. It was very peaceful and overall the property was clean. Convenient to grocery store and fast food . Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate so we were unable to explore too much of the area. The mountains are beautiful!!!!

Perfect Vacation Stay
I stayed here with my family for Christmas break and we loved it! It was spacious and had everything we needed. The location was in a more secluded area but very close to town. Abby was a great host and very responsive with any issues we had. Overall we had a great stay!

We really enjoyed our stay. Loved sitting out by the fire roasting hot dogs and marshmallows. The view of the stars was pretty amazing too. Enjoyed the front porch and the sunrises.

Beautiful home in a majestic location
Had a wonderful stay, the home was comfortable and the mattresses were firm as we like them. Also the short story books they have kept were a treat for everyone there, who wouldn’t mind small bed time stories. We had a good time. It’s not very far from the major scenic locations of smokey mountains.

Close to the casino and private.
We came in for a couple of days for some R&R and casino fun. The casino was only a couple miles away. The location was perfect, quiet and private. House was very clean.
