Weekend Adventures

The property was easy to find, and the property was pushed away in a perfectly secluded hideaway for a peaceful weekend getaway❣️ Close to the Town and Cherokee Casino for a great Night Life.

Enjoyable Stay

Nice cabin, well stocked. We enjoyed sitting on the porch in the morning and using the fire pit in the evening. Getting to the cabin was no challenge at all. Very convenient to Cherokee/casino. We hope to stay again in the future. Thanks!!

Mountain Getaway!

This cabin was located in the perfect location. It was definitely big enough for a family of 4. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything one would need to prepare full size meals. Just remember that it doesn’t have a dishwasher. It’s a cozy place. The couch was amazing. It’s very comfortable. Two things I would recommend is a king size bed in the master bedroom. That’s only because that’s what I have at home lol 😂. And the kitchen could definitely use some up dated appliances. Then again it is a rental and they do work! We totally enjoyed our vacation at this cabin, and would definitely rent it again! Thanks for sharing your home❣️.

Could be better

I wish i could give positive feedback. House was clean, which was very important for me. the beds were comfortable. The entry door lock needs some help. it is a struggle to open the door. Knob is very close to the door frame, which makes it hard to open. You better be fast to puch in 10 key numbers, or you have to start over. We never could luck the door with the first try it took several tries. The sliding door to the laundry room must be fixed ! ! It was loose and fell out, almost hitting my 12 year old daughter. House is located on a little hill, but next to the bussy road, what makes it very noisy, especially when motorcycles go pass by. If you are in a search for quite a place, this is NOT your house. Description of the house says free Wi-Fi, but we didn't have a wifi at all. If you are planning to do some work while you are going to be ready to have a problem with that. Few light fixtures needs to be fixed .
