Sandy & Richard, Your cottage is truly lovely and so well equipped. Our stay was one of the best times we have experienced in some years on our annual vacation. Once we were able to gain access to the house (ooops!!!), we had no trouble from there on out. We did rent a boat slip from Benfield Marina, and that was a huge advantage to us.

As far as our stay, we had a great time!! Your house is very nice and all the neighbors were kind. Everything looked brand new in the house. We would definitely stay there again. Also, our dog, Sydney, had a great time playing with the neighbor’s dog, Rocky. Linville Falls/Gorge was beautiful! I’ve been recommending everyone I know take a trip to see it. We’ve recommended your home to our friends and family, as well.
