The master bedroom in the loft has a second queen, a private bath, and a loft sitting area to the side. After a long day of exploring all the Smokies have to offer, you can settle down into the indoor jetted bath tub to soothe your sore muscles or enjoy the new hot tub outside under the stars. For more outdoor fun, you can play horseshoes or tether ball in the back yard.

New Game Room: For inside times, there is a new game room in the basement with a ping pong table. There is also a TV in the game room for movies on DVD or video games if you bring your own game machine.

This was hands down the best rental I’ve ever stayed in. It was very clean and everything went very smoothly from start to finish! It has great amenities (especially the hot tub and ping pong table) and is very close to a lot of beautiful hikes. I can’t recommend this cabin enough!

Cabin was clean and bigger than what I thought. Cabin was clean and well stocked. Location was pretty good only 10 minutes from the casino and Cherokee nation. My only complaint is the hot tub never got above 81 degrees so we were unable to get in it.

Our family visited the area for spring break. This was a very nice cabin that had the feel of seclusion although there are neighbors very close. It contained everything we needed for our stay although the grill could use an update as could the hot tub cover. Some knew knives and/or a knife sharpener would also be a plus. We very much enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings. The real winner for this cabin is the porch. The covered front porch complete with rocking chairs with a beautiful view of the area made for a wonderful place to enjoy your morning cup of coffee or evening cocktail. There is now a ping pong table instead of a pool table in the game room and the tub in the bathroom was not a jacuzzi tub, but a standard tub that appeared to be recently installed. We didn't miss the jacuzzi tub since there was a hot tub outside. The internet goes in and out periodically and I rarely had much of a cell signal, neither of which bothered us much. There is also no cable/satellite so you have to log into your streaming services on the TV. Bring your passwords! There are no TVs in the bedrooms. The area is beautiful with a lot to see and do. The treasure hunting (gem mining) was a highlight. We hope to be back again and when we do, this cabin will be at the top of our list for rentals.

Watershed Cabin

The property overall was nice. tucked away and was easy to find. the specific directions were unnecessary. only issue was the hot tub, didn’t look very clean and water doesn’t get warm enough to enjoy. also the bath tub- make sure you clean it your self if you want to use the jets. we turned them on and black specks were in the tub water. everything else was fine and we enjoyed our time there

Great weekend getaway

Cabin was clean and nice. Location was ideal. Kids enjoyed downstairs game/TV area. Adults enjoyed coffee on front porch each morning. Essentials for a comfortable stay were all provided. Check-in and check-out was easy. I would not try to find house for first time after dark. Tips: look for name of road on white marker coming up from ground -not tall street sign. Don’t choose pull out couch in loft if you want to get any sleep. I think that there are 2 more couches that pull out -try those! Overall-great place to stay!

Great Escape

This was our first time to the Smoky Mountains and the cabin we rented was the best compliment to the experience of our trip. We found that the North Carolina side of the park was much quieter and slower paced which was exactly what we were looking for. The Cabin is nestled in to the side of a hill hidden from the main road which gave us privacy and peacefulness. We enjoyed the copious fireflies in the evening, the birds in the morning, and a few bunnies which hopped across the lawn. The accomodations were generous and comfortable. The management company kept us informed of power outages in the area which did not affect us, but was comforting to know that they were looking out for our comfort and safety. Overall it was a great experience, something we would do again.

The cabin was very nice so was the hot tub the only thing we had a huge issue with is the pool table i rented this cabin for my boyfriend for his bday and he’s big into playing pool so i picked this cabin mainly for being able to play pool and the table was so ridiculously not level that the balls would all roll into the middle of the pool table we couldn’t even use it and a whole pocket was missing as well very disappointed when it comes to that part everything else was great tho

Dirty

Just dirty. Tons of cobwebs, piles of dirt/dust/trash under the one recliner. Bathtub was filthy and had mold in jets. Cockroaches outnumbered us 20:1. The refrigerator was very loud and ran almost continuously. Not to our standards, I don’t like to go on vacation and downgrade. We left a day early, they aggressively refused any refund because we didn’t allow them to “make it right”. Short of a 6 hour deep clean and an exterminator visit, it wouldn’t have ever been right

Beautiful cabin

The cabin had everything you would need. It was private but only about 10 minutes from Cherokee. Our only complaint is the driveway. Although paved, it is very steep and had a mound of dirt and rocks at the end of it. The turn to park in front of the cabin was also also challenging. All of these factors made it dangerous to enter on a motorcycle. I would maintain the driveway better by removing the rocks.
