Perfect Getaway

The house was new, clean and perfect for our family of 5. We stayed for 4 nights. The house was cozy but still had enough space and all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. Sitting in the screened porch with the river in the back was so peaceful. The host was very responsive and we really enjoyed our time here!

Couldn’t have asked for a better experience

Awesome CLEAN Vrbo. The location is exactly what I needed which was quite peaceful and secluded. We needed to get away and find tranquility. We spent most of our time lounging on the enclosed patio enjoying the fire table. The property has river access. Enjoyed listening to the birds in the morning. Lots to do nearby. Check out the Linville Caverns and Linville falls nearby. Awesome hiking. Host is extremely helpful and communicates promptly. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Will be back!

Cutest Little River Cabin

Our party of 6 enjoyed our stay at this cute little cabin right on the Catawba River. We had plenty of room with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The kitchen had everything we needed. There were plenty of linens. The little screened porch with the fire pit table was a great place to sit and relax. We appreciated the easy check-in, but check-out even more. There was no long list of chores that had to be completed before we left. We had a hearty breakfast from Bessie’s Diner and Blanton House was amazing.

Excellent stay and lovely property. Wonderful place to join our family and friends for the weekend. The open floor plan was perfect for our needs. We loved playing board games on the covered porch and deck.

Amazing River Hideaway

Amazing, beautiful, quiet, private cabin setting on the river by Lake James. Screened in deck overlooking the river kept the bugs away. Barton and Marsha were incredible host. HIGHLEY RECOMMEND Marsha's chef service. Her meals are super delicious and she delivers right to the cabin. Everything was so clean and well laid out!! We plan to come back!!
