  Finding the place was easy and checking in was easyThe driveway was steep and backing out wad difficult.It was odd to see exercise equipment in the bathroom and living space.We did not use the living space.Our first attempt to walk to the river we were met by 3 large barking dogs so we turned back. The next day we made it down. The gazebo is a screen tent with table and chairs. It really needed some cleaning so we did not sit there. It

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Sheila, the homeowners were surprised to read your review, as they are accustomed to providing 5-star experiences, and would like to clarify the following:
  - Thank you for being my guests! I reach out by text and email before each guest's arrival to explain the living area, especially to new guests
  - The living area is generously split in two by a central staircase. One side has video games and Bowflex, and the other is a sitting room area with the futon and streaming tv. Our bathroom is large and easily accommodates the stationary bike in one corner. Many of my guests enjoyed a quick workout before jumping in the shower.
  - As explained in the property description, this is in a mountain community with some surrounding farms. The dogs mentioned in your review are harmless and live on a farm close to our home. If approached, they will run away. - Because of our location, there's an array of wild animals too. These include bears, deer, possums, turkeys, coyotes, etc.
  - Because hiking is done by many on the meadow walk by the river or Cherokee Trail itself, I always recommend a hiking stick, at least due to the wild animals present.
  - The area by the river was a summer village for the Cherokees. The trail goes up to Brasstown Bald Mountain via Millers Trek.
  - We stored inner tubes and outdoor games in the tented gazebo by the river due to Hurricane Ian, just passing through and with Fall being quite advanced.
  - Although the Gazebo wasn't fully available, the firepit and some outdoor chairs were still there to use for your enjoyment.
  - We wish there had been more communication, as we are always ready to offer any information our guests request, including local activities.
  Communication with my other guests has always been the key to my 5-star reviews.

• We were met by property owner who took us on an informational tour of the property.

  The owner welcomed us when we first arrived and was available for any questions that we may have had during our trip. Our stay was very enjoyable.
