Stayed here last week with a church group of about 50 people while doing some Mission work in…read moreCherokee. My experience is from the perspective of the one in charge of cooking and meals for our group. Our group had rented their kitchen space and because we don't live in the area we relied on them to adequately convey the facilities which were woefully misrepresented. BEFORE ARRIVAL: Called 1 week prior to confirm space and storage availability as I was bringing as much food with us as possible. I was informed that from my original call several months prior some refrigerators were no longer working and that they would double check. She further stated that there was a Boy Scout troop coming in and that we would need to share the kitchen space and fridge/freezers. ARRIVAL: We arrive from VA one hour prior to dinner needing to be prepared and served due to traffic and walked into this kitchen area to a disgusting kitchen and dining space. The sink was full of ants and completely clogged, half of the gas stovetop burners would not work and one oven was not functional. There was a layer of filth on everything in there. Our group went to cleaning immediately before we could even prepare food and notified the office of our problems. DURING: Room flooded Two replacement stoves One significant gas leak (where I lost some cognitive function temporarily) Prolific ants Deep freezer full of unlabeled random items that had barely any space available. ..and my home for a week #20 RV...the trailer was cleanish but dilapidated, rusty and had no functioning outdoor lighting. The view off the deck was nice. I will never return or recommend this place to anyone. Ever. Ever.

Great people. Awesome campsite on the river with clean bath house. Will be coming back!!!read more

Nancy and staff went out of their way to make us feel not only at home, but part of their family. Breakfast was very good and made to order. The rooms were clean and very nice. Sitting on the porch, rocking on a rocking chair and watching the incredible view was relaxing. You can bring your pets, but if you don't, there is Ethel. She is the "pet" chicken! She is friendly and loves to be held and petted. As you travel up to the lodge, you may see turkeys and deer. We also heard an owl and a coyote in the evening while sitting on the porch. A surprise was watching at least eight hummingbirds feeding on the flowers from the porch. The staff will cook supper for you or give you dining suggestions in nearby towns. It is just down the road from Cherokee, and just a few minutes away from The Great Smokey Mountains Railroad. The railroad trip is worth the time and money. Rafting is just down the street along with guided fishing tours if you want to check them out. Overall, it was one of the best travel experiences we've had. We travel out of town about every other month. We are already making plans to return to the Lodge soon!

Carolina Bound Adventures basically made our trip to North Carolina. They provide any adventure you…read morecan think of. I only wished I could do them all in our vacation! Mark and Dave were our guides for a Jeep Tour and a Canoeing tour. They were both very accommodating and very knowledgeable about the cultural and environmental history of the area. This really was one of my favorite birthday trips I've taken in a while and North Carolina will always have a special place in my heart because of this. I usually try to travel to different places I've never been to before but I really want to go back to NC! Definitely do not hesitate to book with Carolina Bound Adventures! You will have the best time!

We caught several fish, and most importantly, my kids each caught a fish and I didn't have to worry about untangling their lines or helping them put some bait on a hook. I could sit back, relax, and enjoy. When it comes to fishing, it doesn't get any better than that. Will 100% call them for another trip next time I'm up at my cabin.
