Walking near Pungo Lake in the Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge, it is easy to spot lots of tracks left by the resident wildlife. Black bears are quite abundant in this area, and are actually more common in this part of eastern North Carolina than they are in the Great Smoky Mountains. I didn't actually see the bear, but these tracks were quite fresh.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248634998790089/7ade2325-68d0-4e0e-9f6e-d2f2af946613.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge 14 min drive \- 9.3 miles - Tyrrell County Visitor Center 12 min drive \- 7.5 miles - Vineyards On The Scuppernong 12 min drive \- 7.5 miles - Palmetto-Peartree Preserve 13 min drive \- 7.9 miles - Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge 34 min drive \- 29.4 miles ### Getting around - Greenville, NC (PGV-Pitt-Greenville) 101 min drive ### Restaurants - Champs Chicken 11 min drive - Columbia Crossing 10 min drive - Stick Burnin - BBQ Company 10 min drive - The Depot 10 min drive - Good Time Tavern 10 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Beautiful sunsets, Cypress trees and Spanish moss retreat pet-friendly? ### How much is parking at Beautiful sunsets, Cypress trees and Spanish moss retreat? ### What time is check-in at Beautiful sunsets, Cypress trees and Spanish moss retreat? ### What time is check-out at Beautiful sunsets, Cypress trees and Spanish moss retreat? ### Where is Beautiful sunsets, Cypress trees and Spanish moss retreat located? ## Have a question?

Plenty of everything is furnished in their modest house, but you will want to spend every non rainy or non chilly second on the porch. Too cool to use their kayaks, but ooooh, the indescribable views of the river through the moss laden trees, from dawn to sunset, and with a full moon. We'll be back ! ##### Molly M.

Simple pleasures, nothing fancy, but all the accomodations of home. The sound of the water on the shores mimicked the sound of the ocean at the beach our first night there. The main bed was so comfy it was like sleeping on a cloud. We thoroughly enjoyed being on the water and the beautiful sunsets. We fished, sat on the dock, walked the waterfront, did puzzles, played cards, crocheted, baked cookies, watched a few movies and cooked meals during our stay. Thanks again for a wonderful setting! ##### Cheri Ann S. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Madeline N. 7 Sept 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great views! This was the second time my family came to stay at this property. We absolutely loved it the first time (summer 2021) and were glad to be able to stay again. The view is beautiful and it is amazing to be so close to the water. We encountered an issue this time with ants in the kitchen (even after we put all the food away in totes and wiped all surfaces down with disinfectant spray). It was annoying, but not the worst thing ever, we didn't reach out to the owner since we were able to deal with it during the little time we spent at the house. The only real thing that bugged me was how the instructions for check out and taking out the trash varied between the listing and two binders in the house so we weren't sure which we should follow. Overall we again enjoyed our stay and are glad we were able to visit again. ##### Madeline N. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gerrit B. 27 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Beautiful Spot The location was wonderful! A beautiful spot on the Scuppernong river with easy access to the water (4-6 ft deep for a long ways out). We swam, fished, and kayaked and saw dolphins, and osprey right off the dock. The property itself could use an upgrade. The outdoor shower was broken (looked like it hadn't been used in a while), the paddleboat was missing some pedals, and the furniture has seen better days. Owner filed a claim for an older chair; thankfully, we had renters insurance (required?). The uneven floors were noticeable, but didn't bother us. However, except for a couple days of really hot weather, it wasn't noticed, since we were outside enjoying the beautiful surroundings. The host was delightful, easy to work with, and wanted to ensure our stay was great. We enjoyed the great extras for guest use (fishing poles, games, hammock, etc). Highly recommend this place! ##### Gerrit B. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melody M. 15 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Getaway The Riverhouse has everything you need to feel right at home. Our annual trip included my parents, my cousin, my husband and myself and our dog. This home includes something for everyone. We enjoyed both inside and out. The water right in the backyard with the swing at the dock is so peaceful and relaxing and view is spectacular. The inside of home is well equipped with plenty of seating, great mattresses, very nice bed linens & towels and everything you could think you might need in kitchen and more. Outside accommodations equaled the inside, plenty of seating, great gas grill and large yard. There was also plenty of toys, games and equipment for both inside and outside fun. The homemade strawberry preserves was a nice "sweet" touch as well. We met the host's mother who is such a caring lady and more than accommodating. She took special care to make sure our stay was most comfortable and enjoyable. Yes the floor is unlevel but it didn't bother us at all. We highly recommend the Scuppernong Riverhouse for the perfect, peaceful & relaxing vacation. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us and thank you for your unmatched hospitality! We would love to come and stay again. ##### Melody M.

The home was an excellent location for a family retreat of fishing, relaxing, cooking, and fellowshipping. We had no problems and Karen was an excellent host with quick responses to any questions we had. The family had a wonderful time. ##### Glenn H.
