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.

Here's a review you can use for your Vrbo experience in Cherokee, NC:---Amazing Weekend Getaway

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.

Serenity, and proximity

I attended the national convention of American Indians. Therefore, I had work to do on a computer during my stay. I sat on the balcony overlooking the river, and found it to be the ideal place to do a bit of work. I took a few minutes on my first night there, walked a few steps to the river, and caught a trout. very close to the cherokee nation and the conference center at the casino hotel. It was wonderful.

Perfect

My wife and I needed to unplug for a few days and decided on Cherokee, NC. We are from Kingsport, TN. We found this cabin and absolutely loved it. It's so cozy and secluded. Yet, still very close to everything Cherokee has to offer. The cabin is very comfy and perfect for couples. It has enough room to stretch and has all the necessities. At the same time it's cozy and comfortable. It's on the river and has an awesome back porch/deck for sitting, viewing and listening to the water. We spent most of our time there. It also has a dock on the water, which is nice. If you wish to unplug and not be bothered, this is the place. Day was very helpful and attentive. We appreciate her very much. She checked on us everyday through text. This experience was so refreshing. We will definitely go back in the future and we decided we will stay no other place. We really didn't want to leave but ya gotta adult. Thanks so much.

Fantastic view

The view from the deck over the river is fantastic. Very cozy but perfect for just two people that will not be spending much time inside. The driveway would be the only concern. If it had been wet I don’t believe our rear wheel drive vehicle would have made it out.
