The Cabin was very clean and the creek was so peaceful! The only thing I would suggest is to trim down the brush at the driveway so it would be easier to see oncoming traffic when pulling out of the property. Other than that, it was an awesome place to stay!

Great cabin on the Tuckasegee!

Location, location, location. This is a perfect location! It's close to everything you need and if you like trout fishing, you're able to catch them in the backyard. Will be a yearly visit now that we found the perfect spot.

Nice cabin

Nice older cabin. Location was good. The cabin is not stocked well. Be sure to ask if it has what you might need or just bring everything you may need to have. If you enjoy fishing, you will like this place.

Awesome!

Exactly as described and portrayed. And exactly what we were looking for. Just the two of us so didn’t need a lot of space. Perfect location to hit the Tail of the Dragon and Cherokee on motorcycle. Awesome restaurants and shops nearby but not as packed as the Smokies and other locations. Awesome!!

Rocky Top Retreat

Lovely, spacious home 2 miles into a subdivision with a private gate. Well appointed large kitchen. Two large seating areas inside plus outside covered seating. Comfortable bedrooms with private bathrooms for each. Located close to Panthertown Valley with numerous trails(waterfalls) for hiking/biking. We did not use the club facilities. We did notice as we were leaving that there is a public restaurant/lookout on property.

Me and the family had a great time here. It was a good location. Clean. The only issue we had was there was no a/c the whole stay we had. We called the management the first night to have someone come out and fix it. No one showed until the day of leaving. It was 85 in the house the whole stay. We was not comfortable. But other than that we enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful location

This is our 2nd stay at this home. The location on the river is amazing. The last time we we there it was spring. Although the fishing was better in spring we really enjoyed being able to swim to cool off. My husband actually fished while standing in the river. The inside of the house was clean. However, the porch area where we mostly hung out was a bit dusty with pollen and spider webs. I wiped everything down so we could enjoy it more. The bed was comfy and clean. I was looking for an extra flat sheet to put on the couch. However, the 2nd bedroom bed only had fitted sheets on it. We grilled outside, while the grill was small the propane was full and was fine for our needs. The driveway is a little tough getting in and out of. However, the location makes it all worth while. We enjoyed our stay and we will be back.

Disappointing

This was a disappointing property. The location is fantastic. It sits right on the Tuckasegee River and is lovely. The deck and hot tub face the river, which is nice. The outdoor picnic shed is right alongside the river and the grill worked great.The cabin itself is old and shows both its age and lack of maintenance. The carpet in the bedroom was dirty. The bedroom ceiling needs work as it seems to have been crudely patched. Drawers were missing in the kitchen. The television in the main room did not work. These are just a few of the more notable things. Everything inside shows its age. Just suffers from a lack of care and attention.Overall this property wastes a lot of potential. Would not stay here again without significant repairs and updates.
