Great Location

3 friends came for a two night stay for a Cherokee fishing trip. The location was perfect, short drive to Dillsboro and Sylva and 15 minutes to Cherokee casino or rivers.The house was clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The outside patio is perfect for relaxing at night and listening to the river.

Kid free anniversary

My wife and have been married for a year today and we took off for the weekend to our cabin streams and dreams and it was a wonderful cozy warm little cavin and we were just at home. My wife did shed a few tears because the cabin made her feel at home with her late grandmother who was a big part of her life. We wnjoyed our time away to relax and be free from the world for a couple days with our dogs. We will definitely stay there again and we will be booking for next year. Wonderful host and very informative, respectful and great communicator. Best weekend in a long while

Streams & Dreams

This is the vacation we needed. The cabin/trailer is in the perfect place with peace and tanquility and it is right across from the river. It is very quiet and the neighbors are friendly and helpful. We opened the large window at night and enjoyed listening to the stream and the train on the other side. We sat by the firepit, roasted marshmallows and even viewed an osprey catching fish from the river. There was little touches the owner added that we enjoyed very much from the coffee station, hand wash and dish wash liquid, to the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the shower. The owner was helpful in providing us with a guide book on things to do in town and great restaurants to try. Overall, we would love to stay here again.

Quick get away with pet friendly.

Cute and quite area. Not too high up in the mountains so easy drive. Great for pet friendly. Easy communication with host. Did not meet them so did not know if they were on site or not. But very easy communication. As for cleanliness it was not to my standards. I think a good deep cleaning would be the overall improvement. Carpet needs a good deep cleaning. Refrigerator and microwave was very clean, oven not so clean. Rained most of the time so internet was not the best. But remember you are in the mountains And that should be considered.

Tranquility

A quiet place, fully equiped, with great views of the river flowing almost past the front door. We didn't want to leave. (A brochure in the house suggested it would sleep 7 - that was rather optimistic. The Vrbo site was more realistic as having room for 4). We hope to get back.
