Could have been dusted in more places, pillow shams dirty and smelled, towels were sour, road and driveway were terrible. Started to leave and go find a hotel, afraid since it was holiday it would have been hard to find one. Plus we spent way too much on 1 night in this place.

Ok but need 4 wheel drive vehicle
House was clean but husband thought there was a smell, i didn't notice it. Kitchen table sat 4 people but there were only 2 chairs. It had rained that day so driveway pavement was wet. Our car is front wheel drive and barely made it up the incredibly steep driveway. It took us 4 tries. Once we were up by the house we didn't want to move the car, which spoiled our plans since we were planning to go into Cherokee for the evening. We were sorry we didn't rent hotel rooms in Cherokee or a different house. Location was good, secluded but close to Cherokee. The age of the house and the steepness of the driveway were very disappointing.

Enjoyed our stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The view is amazing. The hot tub is an added bonus. The location is private but only a short drive to all the excitement at the casino. The only two issues we had during our stay was the beds being uncomfortable (very firm mattresses!) and couldn’t get the direct TV to work correctly. The house was clean and welcoming. The Christmas decor was beautiful!

Fantastic Cabin
This cabin is fantastic! It’s private and so peaceful. It has a wonderful front porch that overlooks the sloping front yard. The hot tub was terrific! The house was beautifully decorated and had all the amenitites we needed. Convenient to downtown Cherokee and Bryson City. We will definitely be back!

Cozy place stay to see the leaves 🍁 and ride the train.
We enjoyed our stay at Buck’s Place. The cabin is beautifully decorated and very clean. There are 2 beds and a futon to comfortably fit a small family. The location is amazing. Its very close to the town and the train. It is especially pretty in the fall as the leaves were vibrant around the cabin. The hot tub was a nice addition.
FYI!
You may need a 4WD to get up the driveway! It is very steep and has a few areas where the concrete has been pushed up by the roots of trees. We had to get a running start with our SUV that is not a 4WD. It took us a couple of tries, but we finally made it up the driveway. If there was any ice it would be difficult. Also, we struggled to get internet. It wasn’t terrible, but not strong.
