Will be back

I am apart of a group of friends that have been making this trip to Cherokee for 16 years now. We have rented different places looking for that one place to call "home". We have found it. The location was perfect. Less then 10 minutes to the casino. Beautiful scenery. Beautiful house that accommodated 6 adults perfectly. Absolutely loved this place and look forward to renting it again.

Quick trip

We only stayed for a couple of nights but the cabin was just what we needed! It is very cute. The road to the cabin is a one-way driveway. It isn’t too bad. There are a couple of spots it’s a little hard to see the road. But nothing treacherous or steep. One thing to note is the stairs going up to the loft is more like a ladder. But it is just as shown in the photos. It is a beautiful and relaxing place. The only thing I would say was that if you have a house where you can see the top of the fan, you might want to dust it. But that is being nit-picky! The screened in porch was my favorite area! Would definitely stay again.

This place is great. We gambled at the Casino during the day and crashed here at night. Great spot and much cheaper than staying at the Casino.
