The cabin is absolutely beautiful and is located in a very scenic setting with a creek. It may be a little difficult to maneuver if you have mobility issues, however overall we loved our stay, our host was very accommodating and communicated effectively and respectfully. I would definitely recommend this location and will definitely book again if I am in the area

My husband and I have stayed at this property twice in the past couple of years. We travel to Cherokee, NC primarily to fish, and this property is a perfect fit for us because it is outside of town, but close enough to get anywhere. The host is always responsive and the property is well-kept. We hope to visit again soon.

Nice, clean, and cozy cabin! The view from the back porch and the sound of the river make for a peaceful and relaxing afternoon, after a day full of walking and exploring. The casino, shops and several restaurants are just minutes down the road. Our second time staying at Appaloosa, and this will definitely be our regular spot to stay when back in the area!

We came to Cherokee to see the STYX concert & really didn't want to stay in a hotel & found this cabin. It's really cute & a little rustic but very comfortable. The Oconaluftee River runs by the cabin & makes for a wonderful deep sleep with the relaxing sounds.Clint was a good host & communicated well. Next concert in Cherokee & we'll likely stay here again!
