“Better than hoped” I was skeptical about renting a cabin. This has become the best vacation my wife and I have had. The cabin is wonderful-a great view and plenty of space for two. We are already talking about when we can do e back.

“Wonderful and Quiet Cabin” The cabin was wonderful and high on a hill where it was very quiet. The cabin is central to Cherokee, Cashiers and Dillsboro which are the places we visited. The cabin was really nice and we enjoyed sitting out on the balcony and seeing 2 baby deer eat each morning. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of places to sleep. The TVs were a little tricky and we never figured out how to be able to watch TV even with the instructions that were left there. Also, you will be warned about the steep drive up which is very scary at first but once you do it a few times it gets less scary. We did arrive at 4:00 PM for check-in but was told when we pulled up that they were still cleaning the cabin. After a 4 hour drive to get to the cabin we stood for an hour in the driveway until 5:00 PM waiting for it to finished being cleaned. I did call the property manager as I was instructed to do in the email I had received, but I did not get an answer. I emailed the property owner to inform him that we were not able to check in on time and was told by the owner that the property manager was his mom who was cleaning the cabin. He did offer to allow us to stay an extra hour at check out which we took full advantage of. The cabin was clean and so it did not ruin our trip.

“The perfect getaway location!” I cannot say enough nice things about this rental property- from the first email contact to the last, the Millers were outstanding with communication. The property offers a fantastic view of the valley that hypnotizes- before you know it, you've sat on the porch rocking the afternoon away. The cabin itself had everything you could ask for and more- just bring the food and you're good to go. The kitchen was well equipped with cooking utensils & I was able to cook two nights/one morning there without needing a certain pot, pan, or spatula. The living room was cosy and there was enough t.v. channel variety to keep my teenage boys occupied during the short rainy period. The cabin was centrally located and we visited a mine, movie theater, grocery store, arcade, and several restaurants in the area all with in 20-30 minutes, many much less. I plan on making a return trip as soon as I can!

“Review” I had a fantastic time. The cabin had all the kitchen utensils I needed. Many attractions were within a reasonable drive and the city of Franklin had lots of nifty shops and places to eat. I will definitely be back in the future. My stay was nothing short of amazing and the surrounding area is breathtaking.

“Great family retreat with a great view.” This house is situated high enough that you have a great view of the mountain ranges out the great room windows. Enjoyed the large deck and gas grill. If the weather had been a little nicer it would have been a great area to hang out in the evening. We really enjoyed our weekend there. We would stay again if we were back in the area.

FOX CREEK WATERSIDE CABIN near the Smoky Mountains
Bryson City log cabin

“Fox Creek Waterside Cabin” We loved the cabin - especially with everything being on one floor. It was perfect for three people. The cabin is in good condition, was well equipped and fairly clean. One issue that we had was with roaches. The only suggestion I would have - and our only disappointment - was that there are some windows without screens so we were unable to partially open the bedroom window at night to be able to hear the creek. A screen on the back door would also be great for the same reason - being able to listen to the creek.
