We loved staying here, as there was plenty of room for all 9 of us. The kids loved going to the front room and having their own space to hang out. It was also a quick drive to Smoke Hole. Our favorite part was using the private river access. We fished there and made a campfire to roast marshmallows. We will definitely be back in the future and highly recommend this property to anyone with a large family.

Sight Seeing Girls

Location was great for us. The house was beautiful, we enjoyed the sun parlor, deck and the added ice maker was wonderful. Very roomy and well furnished with all we could need. The river area is a great place to spend the afternoon relaxing by the water, we even got our feet wet.

Climbing Trip

This was our fourth time staying at Pappies Place for a climbing trip to Reed's Creek/Smoke Hole and, as always, it was stellar. It's a well appointed and clean home, the beds are very comfortable and the house couldn't be closer to the Reed's Creek parking lot.
