Quiet, secluded, and delightful
Great cabin all around: Clean, roomy, quiet and secluded. Kitchen is well stocked. Look forward to staying here again. Super minor issue: felt was torn on the pool table. Might have happened recently but we were a little bummed not to be able to play.

Mike, thank you for the review. We are very sorry you weren't able to use the pool table. It is always our goal for our guests to be able to use everything the home has to offer. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope we can host you again!

We loved it so much! Especially the game room. We were blessed finding this cabin. If we’re going to be in Cherokee again, we’re gonna book this cabin once again. This was our home away from home.

Best Cabin Yet
We have stayed in close to 25 cabins through the years. This was our favorite. It had everything we wanted...hot tub, huge space to hang out. Pool table, wood burning fireplace and outdoor firepit, mountain views, space to play games, huge kitchen, rockers and a swing for coffee with a mountain view. Check in and check out were a breeze.We had to drive a bit to find our favorite hikes(we are avid hikers), but it was close to the BRP so the drives were a part of the experience. Highly recommend. We will return!

Wonderful weekend. Plenty of space for a group. Very clean and well stocked property. You can tell that the owners love this cabin & want others to love this property as well. New and clean showers. Plenty of extra pillows, blankets, & towels. Great cabin to stay in and cook, watch movies, play games, spend time together, & do puzzles. Would definitely rent this property again.

Excellent floor plan for sleeping multi-generations and unrelated.
We booked for the family to attend a WCU Spring graduation. We all highly recommend the Timberidge Lodge. We conserved use of water and staggered showers heeding the warning about the pump running dry. We never had any water shortage. We ran the dishwasher once daily and the washer/dryer once. Both caused no water shortage. Hot water quickly reached the upstairs bathroom. The home was well stocked with kitchen pots, pans, utensils, and baking dishes of all types. We used the electric griddle for pancakes, toaster, coffee pot, large pots for spaghetti and sauce, baking pans, etc. Whatever the cooks in the family needed, they found somewhere in the kitchen. We brought a lot of paper plates and cups as well as plastic utensils, but there were enough real dishes and silverware on hand had we wanted to use them. We suggest that the kitchen be stocked with more cloth dish towels. We could not find a bucket to use when some cool grease was spilled on the floor. We found a mop and used a empty small trash can to clean up the mess quickly before someone slipped. The home was well stocked with quality white towels. There were even enough for the “younger generation” (20-30 year olds) who think they need to use many a day. There were a washer and dryer. Sheets were crisp white like those found in luxury hotels.. With both well-furnished first floor great room and a lower-level great room, there was plenty of room for everyone to gather or to seek out quiet time for reading. There was a huge stock of games for all ages stored in the closet. The TVs worked and got good signal. WiFi was available. We had no problem getting good cellular service for our phones, etc., in that location. The 3-D tour on the booking website allowed us to plan ahead as to who slept where. The decor was charming with many interesting additions. The country lodge was as pictured in the advertisement. The rntire family recommends it.

Loved the location, layout of the cabin, and the amenities!
We had a wonderful time making sweet memories with family. the location was perfect with a beautiful view, privacy, trails to walk, a view of a creek, and the fire pit. We had a fire going in the fireplace the whole time and it was simply sublime! The layout of the cabin was very good for our group. We'd love to go back to this cabin, but we've decided we would not go back unless the mattresses and bedding were updated. We were so uncomfortable in the beds that it kept us awake throughout the nights. We also found some cleanliness issues that were distasteful, such as obviously dirty towels still hanging on the back of doors upon our arrival, very dusty decor, and dirty dishes in the cupboards/drawers. We understand log cabin walls and ceilings are not easy to keep dust free, but easily assessible decor had layers of dust on them. In the downstairs bedroom, mice could be heard scurrying through the walls and kept people awake at night. As much as I hate to be negative at all about this cabin because it could be an awesome rental - one that we'd return to- we feel its necessary to point out these issues in hopes that changes will be made.

Great experience
Like most mountain cabins, this one had plenty of space, as well as the usual beautiful deck views. However, the charming fire pit (set up on the front side of the house) was an added bonus, along with the flat backyard for popular cornhole tournaments. What proved to be the most valuable was the long terminating driveway that guaranteed maximum privacy and seclusion for our reunion of 50-yr old professional male colleagues.

Our family had a wonderful time! We will definitely be returning. The backyard view of the mountains is spectacular. There is a 10 minute trail located on the property that takes you to a waterfall and little stream. The driveway is very steep in the beginning. Our vehicles made it, but they were struggling. Would have been better with 4 wheel drive. Overall, our entire family loved it and didn’t want to leave. The cabin has everything you need, even a baby gate and high chair. It’s warm, inviting, and has a family friendly feel.

Just short of perfect!
Lovely cabin with beautiful views! We were originally supposed to be a group of 11 but turned into only 4 of us after our family’s flight from Houston was cancelled.😥 Way too much house for only 4! I believe we would have fit 11 comfortably! Close to everything we wanted to do but just far enough away to relax! My only complaint would be housekeeping. When we arrived at the house the dishwasher was full, not sure if they were clean or dirty. All the towels in the bathrooms were folded up but still damp. Would definitely book again!

Perfect Mountaing Getaway
This was the perfect getaway! The cabin was cozy, well-stocked with EVERYTHING you could want or need, and clean. This cabin was perfect for the half of the family who didn't want to go skiing. They were entertained with the hot tub, games, pool table, and large kitchen to cook in. Then at night, there were ample beds for our 9 guests and plenty of counter/table space to play games on. For snow, the cabin has salt for the front and back porch and the gravel driveway allowed easy in-and-out access. Will definitely be staying here again!

Mountain Weekend
WE had a great time at this property. The view is fabulous. All of the bedrooms were very large and it is a great floorplan. It felt very much like staying at a friend's home. They had little extras like firestarter and smore wands for example- that were just a nice touch. That was the nicest fireplace I have seen. I loved the location...close to town but very private. We would definitely stay here again!!

Beautiful Cabin - Well maintained
Remarkably good condition for a 26 year old cabin. The owner cares and rightfully so. Access was easier than anticipated from reading some reviews. One could nit-pick, but why when the we all had such a good time. I will say that my wife was not happy about being allotted 1 garbage bag, but a phone call remedied that short-coming. Certainly not a deterrent. we thank all that made this available for a family get-a-way; albeit, there is only us four.

A group of us (5 adults) stayed at this wonderful property - very nicely laid out and very clean and spacious. Weather was perfect, a little warm for the time of year. There was still color on the mountain even though a storm the week before had cause most of the leaves to drop. Enjoyed the stay and highly recommend.

cabin was as advertised... watch the driveway up to the house...a 4x4 is recommended...especially if its wet or snowing out. Perfect little scenic creek/waterfall just a 10 minute walk from the house. Would definitely recommend this for any family needing a larger cabin... and will be staying there again.

Smoky Mountains Home Base
We stayed here in June 2020 with two families, 4 adults and 5 teenage girls. Aside from some cleanliness issues at checkin (a couple of the beds had clearly unwashed sheets and the fridge had some sticky residue) we loved the home, the deck, the hot tub, the fire pit, and the general ambiance. Highlights included visiting the national park and Bryson City, particularly the Deep Creek area, and Fontana Lake. We did have quite a bit of trouble the night we arrived getting up the very steep portion of the gravel driveway with fully loaded minivans - we ended up having to unload half the luggage and most of the people, and one of us had to back up in order to keep enough traction on the wheels. The rest of the week we learned to back up the last portion of the paved road a little and get a good running start on the gravel. It was a fun adventure and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again ... but we do hope that the road gets paved all the way.

House is beautiful, view is amazing. We walked to the waterfall with the kids. It was about 10 minutes of walking. Beautiful and so worth the walk. Kids enjoyed the pool table and the hot tub. Could never get the internet to work, also the trash cans fill up fast:perhaps need to add a few more. Dryer in laundry room broke during our stay. We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay jere again. Property managers were very responsive to my emails with any questions or concerns. Happy Holidays.

Not Clean
The location was really nice, a quick drive to everything we wanted to do. The cabin had plenty of room and we were definitely not cramped. It was also dirty.The deck was full of leaves and looked like it was not blown off all year. We needed to clean the chairs before we sat down. The kitchen seemed to be superficially cleaned but there was a film on everything. The entire house had the faint smell of cigarette smoke as well, we will not be staying here again. The trip would have been much better if the cabin was actually cleaned. It struck me as kind of funny because we weren't allowed to check in early because "the cleaning crew would need the entire 6 hours to ensure it was in good shape."

Family Getaway
We stayed at Timberidge Lodge Jan. 20-22, 2017, and had a great experience. The living/dining/kitchen is all very open and spacious which was great in spending time with everyone. We traveled with 8 adults and 3 kids. The kids enjoyed the basement area for video games and pool table, and we all enjoyed time by the firepit and in the hot tub. We also went on a hike on the trail just off the driveway which was a great time to really enjoy the views and the exclusiveness of the property. Laura was very responsive, and great to work with. Definitely recommend!
