  We stayed in this beautiful home the last week in Oct. and it was more than we expected. The pictures are great, but really don't do it justice. It snowed the 2nd morning we were there. Didn't eat in Marshall, but heard the Bistro was very good. The drive to Ashville is about 25 minutes. We took the train trip out of Bryson, but if I had it to do again, I probably wouldn't as the views from the deck at the house are prettier than any we saw on that trip. Joan has put much thought in the comfort of her guest. Marilyn & Bob

  This home has the best view of any vacation property we have ever stayed in. The views of the mountains from the back deck are unobstructed and great in the morning, afternoon, and evening. It is also a very private, relaxing setting. The interior is large with plenty of space and great ways to stay entertained (pool table, poker table, hot tub, 5 TV’s with a plethora of channels). We will definitely be back and would highly recommend!

  Woody & Joan's home was absolutely perfect for our multiple family vacation. With 4 families there was plenty of room to spread out and not feel cramped. We brought kids that ranged in age from 2-6 and they loved playing on the hill just to the right of the house. We loved seeing the trains go by on the tracks and enjoyed the neighborhood dogs that hung out with us while we played outdoor games. The kitchen was fully stocked. The house was spotless. There were plenty of towels and linens. The directions provided were thorough and helpful as the cabin is off the beaten path. We enjoyed the patio in the evenings. The husbands hiked down to the river... I just can't say enough wonderful things about this home and our trip. I highly recommend booking your mountain vacation at Riversky!

  Woody and Joan's cabin is so beautiful! The pictures don't even do it justice. This is the best stocked cabin we have ever stayed in. They truly have thought of everything, and they could not have been nicer to deal with. We cannot wait to go again! They have a folder packed with information on things to do and places to eat in the area. We went rafting twice at French Broad Rafting Expeditions, just about 20 minutes away. Favorite restaurant was Stony Knob Cafe (they prefer reservations), favorite pizza was Marco's Pizza in Asheville. Took the kids to Asheville Fun Depot and they loved it--lots of bang for the buck. Would stay even longer next time. Thanks so much, Woody and Joan!

  This place could not have been more perfect for me and my husband, a bunch of pups, and 11 of our closest friends. We range in age from mid-20's to 30's and everyone had the space and privacy that they needed - with room to spare! Woody and Joan have created the perfect getaway for friends and family, and will provide you with more than adequate directions once you book. The first time was a little dicey as we second guessed ourselves, but once we found our way it was quick and easy. Asheville is 25 min max away from the house, but you really don't have to leave. The house has everything you would need for a long stay (minus the food)...and I can't forget those beds. After arriving home, we realized ours was no longer adequate and upgraded to a king! The house is honestly perfect and I cannot think of anything to be improved. It would be awesome to have a trail down to the river, but then you'd have to cross the tracks. One of our friends did make it down there, but the rest of us wussed out once we got to the drop-off. All in all, would love to return!

  We had family/friends from Pennsylvania and Florida meeting at this beautiful Mountain Home. LOVED the attention to detail, from the extra linens down to the Bath & Body Works soaps! Definitely a good house to relax and have a good time with friends and family. We were in want of nothing. The house was a good square footage but still had that cottage/cozy feeling to it. Really nice layout - well done! The views and privacy were amazing! Plenty of hiking around. The road/driveway was an adventure in itself and the detailed instructions/directions were right on and hysterical at the same time! Thank you for a wonderful vacation

  My husband and I went with 3 other couples to Riversky and we absolutely loved it. The house is gorgeous, and the views are unbelievable! There was a ton of room (we also had 3 dogs), and all of the amenities were updated and beautiful! The kitchen was wonderful, and we loved the hot tub on the deck! We definitely plan to return to Riversky next year!

  I want to personally thank the owners, Joan & Woody for their wonderful hospitality! Like a prior review stated, they make you feel like a welcomed friend in their home, rather than a "customer". Riversky Lodge was the perfect place for our mountain getaway weekend. My family shared the home with 3 other couples and their young toddler daughters. With 5 bedrooms and 5.5 baths, there was plenty of space for all of us. Ample living space, an extremely well-equipped kitchen, lovely furnishings, and a gorgeous view of the French Broad River really made for a great weekend for all of us! It was amazing how Joan & Woody thought of everything...from hair dryers in all the bathrooms, to how organized the linens were, and the wonderfully detailed set of directions that proved so helpful. I have never rented a home before that had the kitchen so well-stocked with equipment! We really enjoyed cooking together, and sharing meals out on the deck. The kids loved the downstairs (the girls all brought their sleeping bags and had fun watching cartoons on Saturday morning together in the game room). We will definitley be returning!

  This house has absolutely everything you will need for a large group of people. We had a group of 15 friends and everyone had plenty of room and we had everything we needed. We cooked/ate all of our meals at the home. The owners provide every utinsel, pot and pan, and dish we needed to fix grand meals for such a large crew. We stay at rentals often when vacationing and I must say this home is the favorite of all the rental homes we have stayed in. This was our second trip to this Marshall home. The view is unbelievable, you must see it in person to realize how amazing this home and it's location truely is. Such a relaxing vacation. We can't wait to come back!

  My husbands family all got together at Riversky for my mother-in-laws 50th birthday. It was wonderful and my mother-in-law loved it. The cabin was very relaxing and beautiful. Everyone was extremely pleased with it and we would definitely recommend it to friends. We absolutely loved the view! And the owners were so wonderful to us, made us feel like friends versus a customer. It's so nice to feel like you know the people you're renting from:-)
