About this property

Riverfront direct access to trout river with tranquil views

Home away from Home on the South Toe River! Everything you need to enjoy the view and relax. Our home is accessible no matter what the weather. County maintained asphalt roads all the way to the driveway.
This home has 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths on the main level and a bedroom and a full bath in the finished basement. In the basement there is a game table and many games in the closet. The Custom Bar and game table are all done in tasteful log cabin decor. Sorry.. the bar is not stocked. BYOB The comfy sectional couch is a great place to hang out with a 50" smart tv. A walk out porch is the perfect place to swing and enjoy the view.
Upstairs enjoy the gas fireplace and watch your favorite TV show on the 50" smart tv. Read a book on the upper deck at the table under the umbrella as the birds eat at the feeders down below. Hummingbirds abound in the spring and you can see the trout swimming in the shallow waters in the South Toe River. In the summer, you can rent tubes and drop the kids off upstream for them to get out right at your back yard. Trout fishermen are a common sight as well as other families floating downstream. If the water is high enough, you will see a few kayaks floating down river. Sleep at night with your windows open and let the sounds of the river lull you off to sleep! Wake up refreshed with a great cup of tea or coffee at the kitchen table which looks right out at the South Toe River.
No Matter what time of the year it is, the view is astoundingly peaceful!
The main level has 2 steps to get in and there is a set of stairs inside to get down to the basement where the game table and bar and sectional with tv are located.

Feels like home

This was our second stay at this property and it was just as we remembered. The location is so convenient to everything you could want in the mountains and with the steps to the river making it so accessible it’s hard to beat. As soon as you walk in the home you feel as though it is a family home and not just another rental property, and that made our stay so much more relaxing especially with smaller kids. We love the property and hope to be back soon!

A trip we will never forget

What an amazing community! I have been overwhelmed with the loving and generous people of Celo. I have never been anywhere similar and the owners are so blessed to have a home there. The owner, Robin, is an absolute gem! She truly cares about her guests like family would and I am grateful that we are now connected. We may be back home in Florida now, but our hearts are still in Celo.Thank you so very much, Robin

Relaxation with peace, quiet, and views

Large, beautiful, & peaceful home. Decorations fit the region with many whimsical items to see & enjoy. The house is well appointed with many family & couple activities. The river was low for the season but that did not stop our grandsons from running up & down with great joy & curiosity. There are many necessary stores nearby yet far enough to keep the traffic & noise levels to a near zero level. The weather allowed us to open the windows feel/smell the fall breeze, sit on the two porches/decks, & take pleasure in the fire pit for smores every night. The hot tub is comfortable & convenient - love the indoor placement. The design of this property would allow 2 families to have their own floor with only sharing the kitchen & hot tub. The games & game table were used daily as we played with our grandsons. The host(s) are exceptional - they have thought of everything. We have already recommended this location to friends and family - this is a top quality property with exceptional amenities, an amazing location, and great hosts! We will return!!!!!

Such a lovely place!

We had a wonderful visit to this clean, cozy home beside a beautiful river! We especially enjoyed skipping rocks in the river, hiking at Mt. Mitchell, and watching the chipmunks and hummingbirds at the backyard feeders. I definitely recommend that other guests fill the feeders when they stay as well! Thank you for everything!

Paradise

This was our second visit to this beautiful property, and we can't wait to book it again for next summer. The house is perfect for multigenerational families and there is a great basement with a bed/bath, hot tub, and game table downstairs for the night owls and two beds/2baths on the main floor. The river is beautiful. We tied our floats onto large rocks and spent the days fishing and just hanging out. Robin is great to work with, and the home has everything you need for an enjoyable visit. The wi-fi works great, btw. There are some beautiful hikes and several artisan markets nearby. Our family loves to visit this area to get away from the crowds. Great property, great location!

Home on the river

This is a great place to stay. It was clean and peaceful. It is equipped with anything you could possibly need to include walking sticks, fishing poles, and more games than a toy store. We thoroughly enjoyed nearby daytime adventures and relaxing in the evening. We would love to come back and stay a week!

Annual Summer Family Vacation

We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We made a change from a summer beach trip to the mountains looking to get away from the usual June beach crowd and vacationers. This was an ideal location. We still had fun in the water, great food locations, and great evenings playing games and catching up. Plus we got to stretch our legs hiking this year. Far away from it all yet so close! The host was wonderful with mid-week questions and we had no problems or concerns the entire week with our stay.

My family and friends come up here every year to trout fish in the spring, this has been the house we have come to for the past few years. Very comfortable and welcoming place to stay, everything you need is ready to use. Always clean , very comfy beds as well. Plan to continue coming back in the years to come!

Absolute heaven!

This is our second time to stay at this house in this wonderful location. My son and his family live a couple of miles from this house and my grandson wants to be an avid fisherman. The house is so comfortable and well appointed. Although we like to go out I love to cook and my family loves to have me cook for them. The kitchen is well stocked and having a dishwasher is essential. I don't do dishes at home! Why would I want to do them on vacation? Sitting on the deck listening to the sounds of the river while having dinner (or ANY meal!) is so relaxing. Thank you Robin and Mike for sharing your wonderful home with us!

River Oasis

We had a lovely time at this place. The house was inviting and we enjoyed seeing the River view when we woke up every morning. It was a bit cold in the mountain but we didn’t mind since we had access to an indoor jacuzzi tub. We also had fun playing games at the poker table. We made sone good family memories.

Perfect get away

Not much could be done to improve this stay. From the comforts of the bed to the speed of the internet this property rocked. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. Great touch is that all the light switches are labeled! Property itself is idealistic on the river’s edge. Oh, to have coffee while watching the river any season of the year!

About the host

Hosted by Robin and Mike Fowler (mostly Robin 😊)

Host profile image
Mike and Robin are empty nesters with two grown sons; Mike is retired from the US Army and Robin owns her own business. Oldest son is in the Army following in Dad's footsteps and youngest son is working with youth at the church he grew up in.

Why they chose this property

Mike went to college at Western Carolina University and his parents bought a home in the general area many years ago. We spent many years looking for just the right home and it HAD to be on the river. Mike really enjoys fly fishing and Robin just likes the serenity of being close to the water. Both of us actually grew up in South Florida so having a home in the mountains has always been a dream for us.

What makes this property unique

When we get there it isn't unusual for Robin to just settle in, read books and relax. We enjoy going to the square to eat and visit our favorite clothing and gift shops. For lunch, there is the Garden Deli where you can eat inside or out and it's right on the square. There is a new Brewery off the square HomePlace which has pretty good food. In the spring, summer and fall, there is a craft fair featuring all kinds of local ware right on the square. There is a quaint little ONE SCREEN old-time theater that we are hoping gets refurbished and there is even live theater at Parkway Playhouse. You can check for events on Yancey County Chamber of Commerce website. Mt Mitchell Golf Course is 10 minutes up the road and Carolina Hemlocks is a state park/camp site where you can rent tubes and play in the river. Grandfather Mountain is about 45 minutes away and has great view and places to picnic. Crabtree Falls is a campground/state park that allows you to follow the trail down to view a very cool 60 ft waterfall, just remember you have to hike back up. Be sure and take the walking sticks provided at the house! This is a challenging hike. You can do a lot or nothing at all and still have a wonderful time.
