Mountain get away.

We found this place to be an ideal location could not be any better right on the river convenient drive to Dillsboro, Sylva and other towns near by and rafting, canoeing, Great choice of stores, restaurant's breweries. As for the cabin was very clean an loved the back porch, Our only complaint would be that it is quite dated and could use some TLC drapes, bedding furniture, But all and all we had a very nice stay and is doggie friendly,

Great on the river cabin

Cabin is clean and we needed nothing suring our atay. The deck is a lovely location to watch the river and wildlife. The picnic table and extra chairs on the deck make it a very nice stay. The cabins here are close together and there was a group of noisy guests beside us for a couple of days. The management of the property was extremely communicative. Great overall for a short vacation.

Nice property. Very rustic cabin with small kitchenette and small bathroom. The deck was the highlight! Wifi was shared with other cabins and signal wasn't the greatest!

Nice riverfront cabin

Great location. Beautiful river. The next part is just what we experienced but would not keep us from renting this cabin again. We really enjoyed our time there. Cabin should have been cleaned better and needs a screen door and rugs replaced. Unexpected smell from the cabin water supply suggests well water. We just weren't expecting that but it was fine. Might add a couple more cooking/baking pans and kitchen items. With the few downsides listed above we had a great stay and would definitely book this cabin again. Sitting on the deck and watching and wading the river made all our troubles drift away. Thank you for having this sweet little place.

Pleased and would love to do it again

The property was nice and quiet. I love the sound of the river running right outside of the window. The heat made it nice and cozy. The bed was a little hard but doable. There was a hole in the bathroom that was hidden by the trashcan. I hope they didn't try to give that to me. At night the bugs came out in the living area. Not roaches but it appear to be stink bugs. I think that is what they call them. All in all the property was nice.

Awesome little get away!

Great place to get away for a few days and Relax!! Wish we had more time to stay! Futon in the living room is very comfy for sleeping. Only down side was the organization of the pots and pans under the sink. When I got out a plastic container for some leftovers....there was already some old pizza in that one container ...no worries I threw it out! Yuck!

Wonderful

We loved our stay. We rented side by side cabins for a family getaway. We relaxed by the river and fished for trout catching enough for supper. We saw otters swimming and a hawk flying over. The cabins were cozy and inviting ! It was our second time visiting and will not be our last!
