Great cabin by the river

We were here to attend Open House for our son at Western Carolina University. The location was perfect and the space extremely comfortable and warm. Loved the fireplace and being able to go out to sit by the river and listen to nature. We will be back anytime we come to visit our son if he picks Western Carolina to go to College.

Stay at the mountains

Hot tub was not functioning which was communicated one day prior to arrival. The first bedroom was not clean that we had to buy pillow cases, to be able to sleep. Probably due to the cold, the AC was not working sufficiently which ended in 46 Fahrenheit at the last night.

Cleaning people suck.

It was a very nice property. But the sheets were dirty, The floor was grity, And a hot tub was broken. But the place is beautiful and if it was cleaned properly in the hot tub Worked .It would have been amazing. Hopefully they fired the cleaning people and got good ones That care about their job. And fixed the hottub. I would stsy there again of these things were done.

Ok but won’t go again

Had a good time just getting away with the family for a few days in the middle of nowhere. Liked the atmosphere and location to the river but description did not include the highway being right there. The hot tub would not heat and after 2 days and 5 phone conversations with property management we were told no one would be coming to fix it. When booking places to stay, amenities are on the list of reasons I pick a place. Things happen but, clear communication from the beginning would have made expectations more reasonable. I will not book a property with this management company again. Also, the neighbors, who are not extremely close, are quick to make a noise complaint. We made a fire one night down by the river in the fire pit on the property with our kids. We were back up in the cabin by 8:15 and in bed by 10, woke the next morning to a notice of a noise complaint. I understand being respectful of neighbors and I feel we definitely were. The neighbors don’t seem to like having a rental property there and complain very easily. Nice area and we will be back but not to this specific house

Great place in a quaint neighborhood on the Tuck!

Great family friendly place to stay. Fire pit right on the river with relatively easy access to the water. Didn't have any luck catching fish but had a blast while doing it. Gorgeous views all around. Would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to get away.

Beautiful area

The yard was very well maintained, beautiful views, quiet neighborhood. Was not in a secluded area but rarely saw neighbors. The road on the other side of the river was busy and loud with quite a bit of traffic. House could use a good deep cleaning. The back deck needs some desperate attention due to rotting and loose boards and nails sticking up. The hot tub didn’t have any steps so some people in our party couldn’t even get in.

We really enjoyed the river access and hot tub. The size of the cottage was very comfortable for our family. The road noise was loud at times but unavoidable due to the location.

Great out of the way riverfront cabin

We really enjoyed our stay. Be sure to bring what you need, because the closest store is in Silva. The information about GPS not being correct was not true. The grill needs new burners, but cooked brats just fine. There are loose deck boards and the steps to the hot tub need repairs. The hot tub was awesome! The place was very clean! Bring ice, too! The Wi-Fi information sent to use was not correct. The correct information was found in the house.

Outdated property on segment of river

The property was ok overall. The house is outdated with old furniture and appliances. If you are looking for a rustic place to stay then it works just fine. Shower water smells bad. If you want something nice then look elsewhere.

Nice weekend getaway

Enjoyed the house. Zero cell service but WiFi was good, cute house. Unfortunately, did not have time to use the hot tub, but we did check it out and it was clean and warm. My only issue was the well water. It is stinky, but common for that area. Just take bottled water.
