Anniversary and mountains
We loved our stay! To be honest, we spent most of our time out of the cabin and enjoying the surrounding areas. But, we are glad to have found this little place and plan to return to enjoy the river more, the fire pit, and do some sitting on the porch! The cabin was clean and ready for immediate use, zero bugs anywhere which my wife appreciated, spacious rooms and comfortable beds. The tv’s were a little tricky to figure out, and I don’t think we ever did but were able to find some things to watch at the end of the day. We appreciated the collection of DVD’s, although we didn’t watch any, it was nice to have that option. Local channels would have been nice to have just to stay on top of any weather related emergencies or alerts for the surrounding areas, but luckily, our weather stayed lovely for the entire trip! Can’t wait to come back!

Total Serenity
The cabin was very clean and beautifully decorated. Being able to hear the rushing water down below was amazing. The only issue was the bed was a little too firm for me and my boyfriend, but next time we'll just bring a mattress topper. Clint was awesome in responding immediately when we accidentally blew out the pilot light on the fireplace. After being in this cute, cozy cabin I can't imagine staying in a hotel ever again. We will definitely be renting this cabin next time we go to Cherokee, NC. THANK YOU, CLINT!! :)
