It was amazing! The sounds and sites along with the fire pit and excellent condition of the house were all so wonderful. The host was very welcoming and communications were prompt. We enjoyed hiking the trail to Roaring Rum Falls-so many waterfalls and beautiful mountain views, and it was just down the road from Bruce’s Bend. Pine Top Restaurant for breakfast is a must- the most delicious and huge biscuits. At the house, the Black Stone was perfect for our steak dinner. The screened in porch was perfect for early morning Bible study, but my favorite part of the whole weekend was making s’mores and singing praise songs while sitting around the fire.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed the stay at Bruce's Bend. The secluded location afforded some much needed solitude. Was lovely to watch the birds at the feeders and a deer on the bank of the creek was a highlight! Fires at night around the awesome firepit and host even supplied ingredients for 'smores which were enjoyed by all! Lots of board games were a big hit with the grandkids. Cooked almost every meal on the Blackstone. This place is top notch!!

We had an excellent time at Bruce's Bend. The house was fantastic, clean, and well stocked. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. The Blackstone was fantastic, we did all of our cooking on it! The front unattached porch was very dusty, so we didn't utilize that, but it wasn't necessary with the comfortable furniture in the enclosed back porch. We loved sitting around the fire pit, and appreciated the s'mores supplies that we left for us. The bedrooms were comfortable, with plenty of space for our items. I wished we'd brought a rope, or a way to anchor the tubes to the shore so we could have floated in front of the house a bit more. We did float down the river to just the next bend, but were unable to find a good spot to drop in for a one way float and needed to walk back. We had a great time and will definitely consider coming back!

A really great property and owner. The place was exactly as described. The swing set for the kids was a great addition and a real hit with the kids. The property is super quiet and relaxing. The house is well equipped with everything we needed. I was very impressed with the owner and the communication. This was just a great experience and a stay just as I was hoping for. Thank you!
