Nice

Nice well maintained property. I had no problem with driveway but see where some could. I did assist another renter further up the driveway as they did get stuck. My rental was perfect for my family of 5. Two adults two teen sons and daughter.

Our Favorite

This is our favorite cabin to rent in the Smokies. This was the second time we have rented it, and it was even more enjoyable than the first time. The internet and lighting has been improved since our first visit. The location is great, the beds are comfortable, it is kid friendly, and has all the essentials.

Beautiful setting. Loved sitting on the deck in the morning listening to the nearby creek. And enjoyed sitting in the hot tub in the evening. The cabin was very nice! Nicely decorated and extremely clean. Other than not hearing back from the owner we loved our stay.

Short getaway

Beautiful property and the cabin was very, very clean! Loved the beautiful landscape and the close-by flowing stream! Due to heavy rains before we arrived, the gravel driveway was difficult to drive up due to ruts. I called the management company and they were very responsive. They sent out someone to grade it that afternoon. The grading did help. However, the gravel was loose and thick in places and still somewhat difficult to drive up (we drive a Toyota Highlander). Overall, we had a wonderful stay!

Overall good property

I enjoyed the quiet and it’s as pictured. Getting there was a little confusing but I think that was more so the gps. Service there even with wifi is pretty bad. We went to disconnect so it was fine. I did reach out with a question when I booked and no one ever replied. But otherwise the home was great!

Awesome place. Loved every second and every amenity. There is a kcup machine and a regular coffee maker there, something that’s not mentions but definitely no flaw in the stay. We loved every second. My son had something to do everytime he turned around!

Weekend trip

This was the cutest cabin. Super clean and a perfect size for our family of four. We cooked several meals and everything needed was there in the kitchen. Couple of notes to prepare those coming in the future... There is no dishwasher-if that is an issue for you, bring paper plates! Then theres the internet. This is a rural cabin. Internet is via satellite which means extremely low bandwidth. And we got one bar in 4G off the wifi. We weren't trying to work, but we do like to stream movies at night or music. That was not possible with the internet speed. That said, there is a dvd player so come prepared! It is a perfect location to unplug and getaway and enjoy nature!

Overall

Overall, the cabin was clean, very nice, and quiet. The only downside is the driveway. it is really impassible for cars and even with my daugters fiance's truck it was very difficult. It barely made it up the driveway. We had to park our car at the bottom of the driveway and walk everything up. Too muck loose gravel and soft dirt. In inclement werather it would have been impossible for any vehicle. If not for the driveway we would stay there again. Again we had a good time, its just the driveway up to the house.

Beautiful in the fall!

Our rental was for 7 nights. We had some issues there were 5 in our party we had towels for four! Only two hot tub towels were there! Two small kitchen garbage bags! No space for recycling totally unhappy with trash situation! Not enough tp and no laundry detergent yet we were asked to start it upon leaving! Squeaky floors so being quiet was not happening! We enjoyed being in the country. Lovely setting we had a good time! This was my first time renting.

All the comforts of home.

Black bird cabin is a large space for the price point with all the comforts of home. Comfortable beds, 2 full bathrooms, walk in closets, hottub, a full kitchen with every appliance, utensil, etc and a gas grill, lots of games and books for all age groups. We lacked nothing. Quiet, peaceful area with nearby fishing access. Location is about halfway between Bryson city and Cherokee, short drive to either town. The only issues we had was that it was difficult to find at night first time driving in, and there are 2 driveway choices (wrap around) both with steep climb and sharp turn. Wouldn't have been an issue if the rock was packed, but its loose 57 stone (large rock) and without compaction you just spin. Had some difficulty after rain even with 4 wheel drive. I did notify management so I'm hopeful they'll work on that. We will definitely stay again in the future. A+ property.

Short drive from Cherokee

Nice cabin with games and movies for family. Private setting and away from downtown area. There weren’t any towels available, however we later found them half dry in the dryer. Probably just got overlooked. Overall a nice little cabin and less than 10 min from Cherokee.
