Family getaway

I loved the time spent with family. However, I did get away and fish some. The solitude of being by myself on the river was awesome. 50 yards downstream of the dock is the best fishing.

Great Place

Stayed here with a few friends and had a really good time. Every little necessity was already provided for us, all we needed were some groceries. Had one slight issue with the outdoor trash and some critters, but it was quickly taken care of by (I believe) the owner. Overall great experience and definitely worth the book.

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.

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.

Cozy Cottage

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.
