The cabin was beautifully done with new appliances. The bathroom was awesome and the bed comfortable. Exactly what we wanted for a short getaway. The hot tub hit just right on chilly nights. Close to everything we wanted to do. Host was an excellent communicator, always responded quickly. We highly recommended this cabin when visiting Cherokee, NC or the surrounding area.

The rental was so cute and clean. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was amazing. We unfortunately were only able to stay the weekend and never got a chance to use the hot tub but we did look at it on arrival. It was very clean and felt nice and warm.

The property was extremely clean and well described and appeared exactly as photographed. Communication with the host was easy and convenient and the check in/out process was smooth. The house had lovely upgrades and amenities! The road into the property was a typical, hilly mountain road so be prepared for that. We loved the quiet and conveniently located neighborhood. Only a couple of small things would have made our stay better but they were minor (cooking spray, curtains over open windows, hooks in bathroom) We would love to stay here again!
