Clean, had everything we needed. Requires stairs to access. Quiet, but there is a busy road on the opposite side of the river. Gravel driveway runs between house and river but not a busy one. Porch is awesome. Gas fireplace.
We love this house and have stayed here several times for spring trout fishing trips! The layout is great for families with older kids and location is unbeatable!
Great place location and accommodations.. found a dryer load of clean towels on arrival but all was wonderful

Great location with easy access to everything.
I have stayed at this location a few times. Great fishing spot right in the front yard and easy access to surrounding areas. Always clean and easy to enjoy.
Beautiful views of the river and close proximity to WCU make this house perfect for our family.

Great WCU Graduation location
Great house and great location for our WCU graduation weekend. Clean, stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and spaces. No problems or complaints. Would stay again.
This is the most peaceful spot there is. The river view is wonderful and we spent an entire day on the porch watching the boaters and fishermen. The house was roomy and accommodating.

Fishing trip
House was perfect for an April fishing trip. Unbelievable location right on the stream and has everything needed. I would recommend and will return.
Home is very large, with a great layout for multiple guests. Spectacular views of the mountains and river. Location was perfect for our plans, convenient to alot of shopping, fishing, train ride, restaurants, and Casino. Relaxation was easy!
The property was everything that we expected. The location and beautiful scenery complimented a very well maintained and fully equipped cozy cabin. Hearing the river run just outside made us feel like we were close to nature. Highly recommend it.
