The house was just what we needed. We wanted a house in the middle between Bryson City and Maggie Valley. Every morning and evening coming back in the Elk were everywhere. The house was in a quiet area away from everyone. Sitting on the front porch was so relaxing. Host was very quick to answer.

We found the home to be very clean and had everything to make our stay comfortable. The host was so helpful with our last minute booking! And I can’t say enough about the location, it was located in the nation park and we were greeted by large herd of elk every time went drove down the driveway. We will definitely book this home again when visiting the Smokies.

National Park Gem

GREAT: Geographically (on point) Relaxing (on the porch) Exceptional (beauty in the park) Attentive (hosts) Time (of our lives) Beats any of the hotel/motel options by 100 miles in our family’s opinion.

This place surprised me by being everything I needed and more. Cherokee don’t have many places like this hidden gem. It’s quiet, clean, and the best yard to visit with family. I’d stay here every time I go home.

If you are looking for peace and quiet close to GSMNP, this is the place for you! The front porch rockers were the perfect place for morning coffee. The kitchen looks newly renovated and is beautiful! The beds were comfortable. And the house was very clean! We were able to see elk every evening at the bottom of the hill. We will be back!
