    Things to take note of:
    At the end of your stay you will be responsible for placing all trash in green can behind home. Load & start dishwasher, empty fridge, remove bed linens and lastly start a load of towels. A friendly reminder will be sent out the night before you go. This is all to help the cleaners visit go a little smoother.
    PLEASE NOTE* NO SMOKING IS ALLOWED INSIDE THE HOME* IF SMOKING IS A MUST, IT SHOULD BE DONE OUTSIDE & YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DISCARDING YOUR CIGARETTE BUTTS!! Failure to do so will result in loss of security deposit. Thank you for understanding.

    (As we are waiting for Cherokee to provide access to WiFi and cable in the area, please enjoy the satellite & old fashioned DVD collection, or better yet, enjoy a book as you unwind from a hectic, daily life.
    Cell phone service is good, so you should be able to access the internet via your phone.)

Very clean and spacious. Great location for visiting Cherokee. Host was very kind and responsive. Good cell service if you have Verizon but not for AT&T. Great Mountain View and Elk near by. If you like breakfast go to Peter’s pancakes and waffles in Cherokee. Everything was delicious and it’s not just pancakes.

Great fishing cabin

The location was great, central to all the places we wanted to fish. We enjoyed playing cards on the deck when the fish weren’t biting!

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!

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!

Bowling and fun

We were in town for a bowling tournament at the casino. There were 4 of us and a small pet. We were greeted by the most beautiful butterflies I have seen! They were on the bushes right where we drove up. The property is gorgeous and the house was perfectly suited for our needs. It was very clean and Abby was great at answering any questions very quickly. I would definitely recommend and stay again! The master bedroom shower is amazing.

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.

A perfect little house to stay in for us, we didn't need much just basically a place to lay our heads. Nice 3 bedroom place with a very spacious bathroom, everything you would need. Driveway is a small little hill which is paved and flattens out for parking at the house. We were on motorcycles and did some riding in the surrounding area.

This was what we wanted and it worked out well. Shower head in the master bedroom can't be adjusted, and replacing it with a nice (and lower cost) shower head would be better one, but it works OK. Girls would like the half-shade area on the porch to be covered to allow sitting out in the rain, but that, too, is just a nice to have item. Overall, we liked it enough that we plan to return. Host was good, and location is fine for almost anything.
