Cherokee Mountain Cabins was founded 20 years ago in 2002 and started with 15 cabins. The owners of the property originally purchased the land for their families. They intended to build seven cabins, one for each of their children. After talking with the national forest service, they changed their minds, as they were told the land was suitable for 15 rental units. They began construction of the cabins and opened to the public in August of 2002. Over the years, they have strived to give memorable experiences to guests and have continued to update the cabins, fixing the exterior and interior of the buildings, adding amenities, and maintaining the property. The owners have a goal to add two new cabins to the property by the end of the year and are making an effort to give guests experiences that prompt them to come back. They are happy with the progress they have made but are excited for the potential of the property in future years.
