Great R&R
We had a wonderful but short stay. Having recent neck surgery and an ER visit to Scottish Rite, we desperately needed quiet time away. Our favorites were the hot tub, fireplace, and the porch with a view. Not only do you enjoy the view, but the sound of the water streaming below. Spacious bedrooms, well-furnished kitchen and welcome from the owners made it perfect. They have K-cups (and flavors we’d never had:) but also a coffee maker if you want to bring your own ground. Terrific instructions and labels on everything made it easy. It definitely hit the spot for what we needed. Thank you!

Zen Cabin
We came to Cherokee to see "3 Doors Down" at the Casino and chose this very special place. The large deck is eye level with many tree tops promoting a "tree house" feeling along with gorgeous mountain views. The house had everything we needed; all the appliances worked well including the fireplace and hot tub. We used the grill for burgers and really enjoyed cooking in the kitchen. Highly recommend seeing Mingo Falls (160 steps up to viewing platform), it is truly a beautiful waterfall. Our host was very pleasant and it was obvious they took great care in appointing the cabin. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Cabin in the woods
The.cabin is very secluded. It was a little hard to find, but I called the owner who assisted me. It was a short stay, we spent one day in Bryson city and one fishing in Cherokee. The only issue was the bathroom needed some TLC. The washer/dryer was nice to have.

Booked this cabin for my wife and I as a week long getaway. Nice place, ticked away in the mountain, with the sound of the river down below. Close enough to the GSM park, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and surrounding tourists attractions.

Perfect Getaway
My husband and I celebrated our one year wedding anniversary and it was such a wonderful weekend at this property! We absolutely loved the views and enjoyed the rocking chairs on the porch. The hot tub was a huge reason why we booked this location and it did not disappoint, perfectly placed to enjoy the sunset and mountains. The hosts are super kind, left us such a sweet anniversary gift, and let us know if we needed anything that we could contact them. Cute little cabin, loved the location. We enjoyed exploring Bryson City and surrounding areas. Highly recommend this cabin!

Loved the deck and enjoyed the peace & quiet
Instructions were provided before our stay that made it easy to find, enter, and enjoy the property. Tags and notes throughout the home eliminated any questions about operating equipment, finding nearby attractions, or getting food. No detail was overlooked! And most of all, we loved, loved, loved the quiet deck and gorgeous views. Fantastic getaway!

Nice Stay
The cabin is nicely equipped with all the essentials needed to relax and unwind. The view is gorgeous while sitting in the hot tub or rocking chairs. Loads of nice touches in the cabin and the fire warmed up the main room immediately. Loads of condiments were also in the cabin. We took our dogs and the negative side is that there is no yard for them to relieve themselves, only the sides of the road. We tried to walk them, but the old, crazy neighbour came chasing us because we walked them near his driveway. He chased us down in his buggy and told us to never come back to this part, it's all private. We kept our mouths shut because we were concerned the old man might have a gun. We also had to watch out for the lose running rottweiler. It's a great place if you don't have pets with you and don't need a walk.

Great for our needs.
We were looking for a get-away for a couple of days where my daughter and I could take our dogs, enjoy some hiking and relaxing. Nature's Retreat was just what we needed. Loved the hot tub, the mountain views, sounds of the river below, clear starry night sky; nice deck with rocking chairs, picnic table - half of it is covered which is great if raining, kitchen well stocked with pots/pans, kitchen utensils, etc; nice room off the kitchen with W/D and a table area for work; tv/internet worked well; brought dog play gate to put across deck opening - dogs loved hanging out on the deck; Minor downsides: the upstairs floors squeak so we worried that we were waking each other up walking around; there is very little yard for dogs to go to the bathroom; the short road up to home is a bit skinny and the driveway is small but we managed to get turned around ok with our old large SUV! Short drive to Bryson City and a number of great trails, sights to explore and quaint shops; Would stay here again if we come back to this area.
