Fall Getaway!

This home is perfect. I love the location by the river and the back porch for morning coffee. We went to the great Smokey National Park for a hike and also saw beautiful fall colors. There is plenty of room in this home for everyone. I can't wait till June to come again!

We will be Back...

Charming, peaceful and great location is how we would describe Harry's Place. The home's layout is great. The location is the best. We were there to celebrate a college graduation from WCU. We were able to get on and off campus from this location within 30 minutes.

Perfect mountain stay!

Do you have a wonderful vacation and acted perfectly located home. Kill very clean and comfortable and spacious for every light red out, relax and stay in a cage. The view from the balcony overlooking the river it’s so peaceful morning and a great place to enjoy the mountain air during our family meals. The house is perfectly located for adventure and exploring day trips into the mountains. Harry is an incredible host, friendly, informative, caring and quick to respond to any needs. Will definitely stay here again next time we come to North Carolina.

Mountain paradise

We had such a wonderful time and loved this rental house. My family of 5 along with my mother stayed at this house and it was so roomy. We had other family in town and had them for dinner and there was plenty of seating and room for all. Coffee on the porch each morning with the slightly cool temps(60s), tubing in the river, afternoons playing games and evenings by the fire. This house has it all and the owner was so friendly and easy to work with. We had so much fun that we ended up extending our stay. The location is perfect and we can’t wait to return next year! It’s a hidden gem and I only wish we found it sooner.

Last minute getaway

If you are looking for the perfect place that provides privacy as well as peace and quiet while you enjoy the sound of the river flowing just outside your door, then this is the place for you. I was looking for a quiet place to enjoy a last minute getaway with my nephews and son before my oldest nephew ships off for the Marines. This place was absolutely perfect! It has plenty of space and was super clean. Mr. Miller made check in and out super easy and convenient. The home is conveniently located with stores and shops nearby, as well as a ton of outdoor activities. Beautiful waterfalls are a short drive up the road. The guys enjoyed shooting pool while listening to the river flow. The property had everything we needed for our short stay. I would highly recommend this property! Already making plans to go back.

Another wonderful family vacation

This was our third time staying at the house, and this year, staying in the summer rather than late autumn. The place is loved by our family and they already want to go back! This year was the first time we used the tubes to go down the river and it was so much fun. The house as always is immaculate, with every modern convenience you could want to entertain a growing hungry family. This stay was special to us as we had the pleasure of meeting Mr Miller, the owner. He is a wonderful gracious host who works so hard to make sure your stay is perfect. If you need a home-from-home to get away with your family or just your spouse, this is the place to stay! We love it, and can't wait to return, there are other places we looked at but comparing amenities, location, distance to stores, and the idyllic setting etc. there is no better place. You will not be disappointed.

My family and I had the pleasure of staying in this lovely house right on the river. It was an awesome experience for all of us. The house was just perfect! Not just the grandkids but the entire family enjoyed tubing and fishing on the river, and playing pool, darts, and other games that were there for our enjoyment inside. Most of all the owner of the house, Harry, was an awesome host and such a genuinely nice man. There was absolutely nothing negative about staying in this home if you ever have the opportunity to stay here don’t pass it up!!!

We had a wonderful stay at Harry’s house. This was our third summer and we can’t wait to come back next year. Harry is a wonderful host and makes the house feel like a home. The kids had so much fun splashing and tubing in the river. This home is the perfect location and we were able to explore so much around western North Carolina.

Very relaxing!

This home was wonderful!. Fully stocked - from the kitchen to the laundry room and bathrooms- from cookware and dishes ,to cleaning products and soaps ,linens and towels. We loved the upper and lower back porches to view the relaxing river. The young people enjoyed the game room and tubing on the river. The beds slept good . We came away very refreshed and hated to leave. Would love to go back again!

Refreshing and welcoming mountain stay

The Bubbling River was a highlight to a lovely stay. The house was very clean, and well stocked with ample space for two couples. The owner was polite and quick to respond to our questions. We enjoyed cooking in, as well as the close proximity of excellent restaurants. Close to waterfalls and other attractions.

The house was built with the plan of 6 month a year summer retreat, but a couple grandchildren have put that on hold for some years to come, Love them grandchildren The wife and I enjoy the area and what it has to offer, especially the tranquil life style.

What makes this property unique

We like the home, we really like the decks, but we love the river and the soothing sounds of rushing water and sights of wildlife on the river. can,t get much better than that
