Great vacation house
We enjoyed the property, big yard for the kids and pup to play in and view wildlife. The river was pretty, I wish it was more accessible but we made the most of it. Easy to walk upstream and hop in and float back to the stairs at the cabin. The location between Bryson and Franklin was continent to both . Really enjoyed it

Amazing mountain getaway!
This lovely home was clean and well maintained in the beautiful mountains of NC! What a relaxing visit and time enjoying local hikes and restaurants and shops. The river behind the house was beautiful as was the scenery from the massive windows in the great room. It was such a peaceful getaway. Thank you for opening your home!

Fall trip
Another great motorcycle trip! It just went by way too fast. The house was as described, spacious & clean. Really nice! We had 3 couples, but could have accommodated 4. The driveway was a lil tricky the first time, but we learned 1 bike at a time, no problem. We all especially enjoyed the back yard. A great way to start the day, on the back deck with a cup of coffee, watching the birds, squirrels and we even had a bunny. A great place to end the day too, sitting by a fire planning our next day ride, and the guys even got in a little fishing. Very private, peaceful and relaxing. Liked that they had grocery stores & gas stations nearby. All in all, a really nice place to stay. Would definitely stay here again.

Fun
This home is very clean, very roomy, very comfortable, and has easy access from the road. If you’re looking for a water view property, this place is wonderful! If you’re seeking a water access property (swimming, fishing, ect), you may want to move on in your search. Just depends on what you’re after. We enjoyed fires every day in the fire pit, and our pup was happy to be with us as well! The kids liked having their own space and we were able to enjoy a number of activities including white water rafting. Location was great, house was very comfortable, and we enjoyed our stay!

Just this side of heaven
Loved the house & property! Especially loved being able to take the dogs for a spin around the property--as the "front yard" is huge--and walk over to the viewing platform for the Cherokee lodge. The house itself is lovely, and the beds were especially comfortable. The only disappointing element was that there is no easy access to the river in the back of the property. You can follow the path over to the viewing platform, and there's access on the path beyond that. Still, it was lovely being able to sit in the yard behind the house by the river. There are beavers, so you need to keep an eye on your dogs, but we managed that well. All in all, this was a super wonderful place! We three ladies of a certain age loved it!

Great Cobin!!!
The cabin is great, huge front field with tons of privacy. The rear yard / firepit is right on the river!!! We used the firepit and grilled out. The hot tub was nice as well. Very easy to fine, I will say the transition from highway to the driveway was at an odd angle. A standard car will scrap the bottom. We will defiantly be renting this cabin in the future!!!!

River cabin
We enjoyed our stay. The beautiful surrounding scenery and river. Three full baths with four queen beds. We managed to play bocce ball in the large lot. However, we never had the time to enjoy the hot tub. The kitchen supplied all the dishes and utensils that we use for a small party. There was plenty of linens for our group and even extras. The only disappointment was there was a large number of gnats inside the cabin, mostly in the kitchen area, which we can assume they entered the cabin from them cleaning the cabin with the doors open to the outside.

The property was great. The land was great for dogs to run around. For those that enjoy the water, kayaking is possible from the house. The house was comfortable and had plenty of room and equipment in the kitchen for those that enjoy cooking and eating in. The beds were very comfortable as well.
