Easy to check in and great communication from the host. We didn’t want to leave and have already been talking about coming back. Beautiful cabin overlooking river. Well maintained and clean. Day had the cabin well stocked and checked in occasionally. Maybe we’ll have better luck fishing next time.

We used this as a home base for slow mornings on the patio and hiking in GSMNP. It was about a 15 minute drive to the entrance of the park. We appreciated the quiet area. Day was super easy to communicate with and was super flexible. No complaints from us!

Great lil hideaway!

Very cute lil place, tucked away in a great location! Loved the lake view from the deck. Enjoyed bird watching, ( bring your binoculars!)Hubbie and I brought our own Umbrella and stand with a couple chairs to fish on deck. We got a few nibbles that’s about it. Kitchen is very small with no oven BUT doable and nice grill outside. Definitely made for a couples getaway my husband and I LOVED IT! Miss Day was an awesome host! We will be back

Wonderful Weekend

We enjoyed a quiet, peaceful 3 night stay and hope to stay again in the future! The cabin is exactly as advertised and it felt as if we were up in a tree house! Sitting out on the porch area was our favorite. The view of the river is so relaxing. We were fortunate enough to see 2 bald eagles flying over the water! Hubby enjoyed fishing from the dock and caught a couple of nice trout.This is the perfect getaway for a couple! It’s clean, cozy and has everything you need.

We had a fantastic time at this cabin in Cherokee, NC! The place was very clean and well-maintained, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The weather was perfect during our stay, which added to our enjoyment. One of the highlights of our trip was the elk viewing—it was truly a remarkable experience! We also came for a concert, and it did not disappoint. All in all, it was an amazing weekend filled with great memories. I highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of the area!

Great place on the river

This is a great spot to stay. It has all you need to enjoy a peaceful stay. The driveway is not for the faint as you're in the mountains, but it wasn't an issue. The next time we're in Cherokee to fish we will stay here. Thanks Day!

Cozy fun on the water

The bungalow was clean and neat and comfortable. The river view was beautiful and we "fished" but didn't catch anything (newbies). The dock was really nice to relax on.

A Riverfront Stay Visit During Hurricane Helene

The owners were very communicative prior to the stay. The cabin is so cute and overlooks the river. They have a dock. Fishing is available with a license from the Cherokees. The cabin is located on the reservation, so all rules and regulations are that of the Cherokee. The 1st morning, the valve I. The tub broke. We were unable to turn off the water. Day and Phillip were very responsive. They were at the cabin in 15 minutes. After arriving to cabin, Day and Phillip quickly assessed the situation. Then, they went to get the parts necessary to fix the spigot in the shower. They were very friendly and thorough. Shortly after the hit of Hurricane Helene. Helene hit with excessive rain and high winds. We felt safe through all of it. Helene knocked out Cell and Internet service. Day contacted us as soon as services were established. The cabin is private, but is close to everything, If you want to stay in a private and darling riverfront cabin, choose this one! Thank you for sharing your cabin with us.
