Cabin was very comfortable, relaxing, with a back deck that welcomed morning coffee drinkers, or warmed apple cider drinkers with the river water falls comforting sounds! Elk wandered by, unconcerned. A walk down to the river was quiet, the water clear.

Always LOVE staying here! This will be our third stay at this cabin and it never disappoints, always clean, always welcoming. Great view of the water off the back porch. We found an easier way to get down to the water just down the street so we wouldn't have to hike up and down with our fishing equipment. Husband caught lots of fish just behind the cabin because the water was just full of big trout! The host is so friendly and willing to go above and beyond it seems to make sure you are doing good during your stay. Grill and firepit outside made it to where you wanted to definitely spend quality time outdoors. The cabin is always super clean and ready to enjoy, everything is just really great and will continue staying here year after year.

Beautiful place, cozy, convenient to downtown. The kitchen was well stock for our cooking needs and grilling was perfect. We greatly enjoyed fires at night. Our fishing was not that great, my sister only caught two. I have walking issues but didn't want to risk it. Looking forward to our next trip.

This is a quaint, cozy cabin. Close to many outdoor activities but situated far enough to sit quietly and relax on the porch all day. Well equipped cabin for a couple or friends weekend, surrounded by the mountains and a gentle river below.

My wife and I are graduates of Western Carolina University and hadn't been in this area in over 25 years. We were able to go back - the mountains were calling. The cabin was so cute. It had everything we needed and the deck overlooking the river was our favorite part of the trip. It was so relaxing and peaceful. We really enjoyed sight seeing in this area and had a wonderful stay!

All We Needed and Very Comfortable!

We visited the Appaloosa 2 while we were in the area checking out the national park and a few other nearby attractions. We had three small children with us and the cabin was clean and completely accommodating. The back porch overlooking the Oconaluftee was a real treat, as was the riverside area below the cabin. It's secluded enough for adequate privacy but not so much so that you can't quickly drive to nearby attractions. It was about 10 minutes to the Oconaluftee Visitor Center and a short drive to Bryson City, Sylva and Cherokee--all worth exploring. We had a great time and would recommend.

Great location

A good, solid place to stay. It was clean upon arrival and communication with the owner/manager was was quick and efficient Location to town and attractions was convenient. The walking trail down to the river was a bit steeper than we had anticipated, but in reading reviews after our stay, it looks as though perhaps there might be another way down to the river that would offer easier access, so keep that in mind and ask the owner about it. It rained on us most of the trip, so we spent most of our time in the cabin, at the casino or walking the shops in Cherokee, so we didn't stress about it too much. Would definitely stay here again.
