*There are two SECURITY cameras; one on a tree above the culvert at the intersection of the gravel and grass driveways and one on the front of the house above the staircase. Both are facing Izzie Ln to monitor the incoming traffic only.
The Neighborhood and Getting Around:

Maggie Valley (12 min), a charming little town has many shops to visit for ice cream, crafts, gems, food and souvenirs. Less than 30 minutes from Great Smoky Mountains National Park and only 20 minutes from Cataloochee Ski Resort if you enjoy skiing!! Stop in Waynesville (25 min) to get your grocery shopping done in major markets (Publix, Ingles) and explore charming Main Street for local boutiques and gift shops or grab a bite in local restaurants. Cherokee (25 min) offers many family attractions, shopping, Cherokee Indian Art, Harrah’s Cherokee Casino and much more. Enjoy elk watching even strolling in town. If you like urban life visit edgy and artsy Asheville, approximately 50 minutes away. It is the ultimate playground for arts, live music, locally owned shops, breweries, art galleries and Biltmore Estate as a top attraction.

Our stay was great. This was definitely a true mountain getaway for someone that wants to relax in nature.
Also conveniently located between Cherokee and Maggie Valley when you want to spend some time in civilization.

Very disappointed that there was no hot tub as advertised. There was a whirlpool bathtub but no hot tub.

The cabin is in a great location between Cherokee and Maggie Valley. It is secluded in the woods and is very peaceful and quiet. There is a creek running out back and you can hear it at night, which added to the tranquility. Cabin was fully equipped with everything needed to have a wonderful stay. Everything was very very clean. Wood floors throughout, even in bedrooms, which is something I look for. No locks on bathroom doors, which did not bother us, but may be a concern for others.
Izzie Lane was scary steep! We have a 2wd Ford explorer and we were able to get up and down fine, even when the gravel was wet from rain.
Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in the area!

As you travel down the gravel roads that takes you to this cabin once you arrive at the driveway that leads down to it you will be amazed at the beauty of the place and how beautiful the cabin is!! Once you step inside you will be amazed as it is just as beautiful on the inside. The hosts have put a lot of thought into this to make sure your stay is incredible from detailed instructions on how to get to the place in case you don’t have any cell phone service down to instructions on how to use things around the cabin it has a fully furnished kitchen they even left a book to go through that tells you things that are in the area to do. This cabin has lots of room with large decks that have different chairs on them so you can just sit and listen and watch nature it so peaceful you won’t want to leave!! It’s a great price for all you are getting would definitely recommend this place!!

We loved our stay at this cozy cabin in the woods! It was clean, well stocked and comfortable. They even had snacks and k-cups for guests. We took several notes of things that we would like to implement at our own rental house! Highly recommend!

We stayed in this beautiful cabin for a girl’s trip. The view was incredible, the cabin was adorable, and the location was perfect for us. The driveway was slightly intimidating, but we did make it was 2WD.

This was a great stay. Located close to a creek, it was very relaxing to sit outside or put the windows up and just listen to nature. Parking is not ideal but that's about the worst of it. Would stay again!!!

The cabin was wonderful, cozy and very clean! Was nervous about no a/c but the crisp cool mountain air made the trip even more enjoyable. The wifi was definitely spotty, but we weren't there for the wifi, the mountain experience was great!! Lots to do, close to the Casino and other stores, excursions as well as some waterfalls! If we had to list one things we didn't particularly like, it would be the downstairs/basement shower- although its not convenient it gives you much privacy. Overall we enjoyed and had a great time, we didn't want to leave!!

Mountain Trip
The cabin was very clean and our visit was great. I highly recommend the cabin, although you will need to be able to climb steps and I recommend a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Otherwise great for the family.

Great Weekend Getaway
My wife and I rented out this property for a long weekend. The property was well maintained, the instructions were precise and we absolutely loved staying here. We enjoyed the small stream next to the house, as well as the fire pit in the back. The location was perfect as we traveled to Maggie Falls every day or to a local trail to hike the mountains. We look forward to bringing back our kids to enjoy this property with us.

Cabin in the woods
We had an amazing time at the cabin - it was peaceful, with the sounds of the creek in the back. Exactly what we needed for our week away from work and the city. Highly recommended to anybody who wants a break to recuperate from everyday life.
Very close to Maggie Valley or Cherokee so easy to find groceries, coffee, food within 30 mins by car.

Fabulous Cabin!
We were looking for a peaceful, serene location that would serve as a base for exploring the Blue Ridge Parkway and GSMNP. This cabin surpassed our expectations! It’s very close to the Parkway (literally right down the road) and a 30-minute drive to the National Park. As other reviewers have indicated, the owners have well-stocked and well-organized the cabin for extra convenience. The running water of the creek adds to the peacefulness. We highly recommend drives on the Parkway, Soco Falls (very close to the cabin), Woodfin Falls (Parkway) Mingo Falls (on the reservation), and Juney Whank Falls (GSMNP, 2 other falls in same area). Yes, getting in/out involves steep drive but you’ll make it and not the greatest WiFi but you’re not there to surf the internet, right? Overall great stay! You’ll be happy you booked!

Cranberry Creek review
The house was very clean upon our arrival. Pretty much everything you need is there. The house has a nice porch to sit and enjoy morning coffee. There is also a nice fire pit and plenty of wood. It was very relaxing with the sound of the creek around you. I would stay here again.

Great mountain getaway
Beautiful cabin tucked away in the mountains. Not much room to park your car when you get there though. Don’t plan on watching TV because there’s no service. We didn’t come to watch tv. Central location for the Smokey Mountains and Blue Ridge Parkway. We had a great time!!

I was looking for a ‘cabin’ but nothing I have to rough it much in. Cabin was super nice & looked pretty new, very clean (and I’m picky) and decorated very nicely. It is pretty deep in woods & a little hard to get web service at times so be ready - and satellite dish was sketchy at times, but what a set up in the woods! Nice porch for sitting/relaxing on (there are rockers & porch swing) and little stream by house, and fire pit.2 nice, clean bathrooms w/ lots of towels + loft area if needed for kids. Kitchen had a microwave, dishwasher & fridge. Living had reclining sofas.It was awesome!! Highly recommend!!
