This is a beautiful property located in a peaceful and quiet area. The house was immaculate and exactly as listed. Very convenientl to everything in Waynesville, Maggie Valley, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the Smoky Mountain NP. Heather is great to work with and always responds promptly.

Thanks so much for the nice review. We hope to see you again in the future.
Beautiful property. Equipped with everything needed for an enjoyable stay. Conveniently located in a peaceful area of Waynesville. The Alpaca farm that was next door was perfect scenery!
The property was fantastic, very clean, excellent views, well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds. Everything we expected it to be from the pictures and more. Hope to stay there again when we come next year.

Thank you for the nice review. We hope to see you again in the future.
This is such an amazing property. As soon as you walk in it feels like you are home. I honestly didn't want to leave. If you're a nature nerd like me, you will not be disappointed! From the welcoming calls of the blue jays when we first arrived to 25 varieties of birds I found on my Merlin app, this is a great place to bring your binoculars. I was especially in awe of the night sky. Sitting on the back deck with the lights out brought the Milky Way to life. With no light pollution, the stars gleamed brightly. Although we didn't have time to visit the adorable alpacas down the hill, it was fun to watch them from the expansive front deck. Although we were only in Waynesville to attend my daughter's wedding for a short while, our stay was elevated by choosing Heather's home to lay our heads at night. It gave me a quiet, reflective place to unwind from all of the months of planning and excitement from the day. I will be looking for excuses to come back and visit again.

Thanks so much for the beautiful review. We hope to see you again in the future.
House was fantastic. No issues with check in, location was great. Not knowing the exact area we were looking for an accessible house in case of snow and this was that.
Very clean and comfortable home in a very peaceful area.
This is the second time that we stayed at this home and we are not disappointed with the location and how clean everything was.
The house was perfect in a quite area. The views were breathe taking and watching the alpaca's everyday was a treat. The house was very clean and the fireplace was nice on the cold mornings.
We will stay again!
House was as good as previous reviews indicated. The kitchen was the best stocked kitchen of any property we’ve used in the past. Definitely recommend.
The home was just as beautiful as listed on VRBO. Everything was clean, tidy and we had a gorgeous view of the mountains. There was plenty of room for our family with a large covered back porch for outside dining.
We highly recommend this home for family vacations.
I stayed here with 5 family members and another couple. The place served us very well. There was plenty of room for everyone for just hanging out and for sleeping. There's a lot of great places to eat and drink around Waynesville and beyond and it's only a 10-minute ride to Waynesville. I would consider staying at this rental again if I'm ever back in the area.
We had a great time staying at the Harmony in Iron Duff Haywood County NC. The property was spacious, clean, and offered everything we needed for comfort. This is a great location to “get away” yet offers easy access to main routes to many attractions in the Smokies. We put it on our list of places we will revisit.
Our family loved staying at River Ridge for Christmas! The house was beautiful, well-stocked, and comfortable for our whole group. The location was perfect - we enjoyed trips to Waynesville, Asheville, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Heather was easy to get in touch with about any questions we had and very responsive.
This property totally blew us away. Everything was perfect except the outdoor grill, which they replaced with a brand new grill within 24 hours. Awesome view, great location, totally clean and comfortable. My Wife and I will definitely be back next Summer.
We had a great time visiting for Spring break. The house was beautifully decorated and well stocked. The views are absolutely gorgeous. Everywhere we wanted to go was within a reasonable distance, so the location was perfect. Waking up to the beautiful mountain views and the alpaca’s next door made our stay so relaxing. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.
The home was immaculate inside with every essential needed. The mountains were so beautiful and the charm and kindness of the residents in the small towns was so special! The home overlooks a well kept property next door of adorable alpacas grazing. Thank you Heather for your visit with us and making sure everything was just right! A jewel!
This was the place we had always hoped existed. Spacious, clean, fun (pool table & multiple TV's), but most importantly, the setting.
That's why we went to the mountains... for tranquility, serenity and relaxation without feeling utterly cut off from civilization. We were only 6 1/2 miles from Publix and other amenities when needed.
I hope we can return.
This lovely home has all the best things… 1) easy access to town, 2) beautiful views of the alpaca neighbors and sunrises, 3) lots of room to stretch out, 4) unlimited hot water - with 6 of us, we never ran out! and 5) amazing amenities in the home.
Heather was very responsive and protective in communication. The home was well cleaned and comfortable! We will be back again! I think we’ve found our annual NC vacation landing place!
This is the kind of place we were looking for. The house felt so cozy and homie that we didn’t want to leave. Very relaxing and quiet neighborhood. Pictures are very accurate and the house was very clean all around. The Alpaca’s next door were a treat since they stayed staring at me while I was walking my dog in the front yard every morning. House is very accessible and close to different cities like Maggie Valley and Waynesville. For a little longer drive then you have Asheville and Bryson City. It was a plus that we could park the car inside the garage. We really loved the property and communication with Heather was very good! I can’t recommend this place enough and we will definitely be back!!!
