The house was right on the river and is nicely appointed. The location near Dillsboro is also excellent.

Little paradise

This cabin had the best view out of all the cabins on the river. You could see a clear view of the mountains and at sunrise/ sunset was even more beautiful. Tons of wildlife to look at on the river and great fishing! Tubing is a must (best to drive up, park and float back down). It is an older cabin with no wifi but with the views and fun you can have on the river or fireside, you don't even think about wifi Overall LOVED it

Beautiful location! The house was clean when we checked in and the kitchen had all the appliances we needed to cook! The only thing to note is to take caution when pulling out of the driveway but we were able to turn the minivan around in the driveway instead of trying to back out.

Spectacular Views

You have a view of the beautiful river from practically every room! The home was just as advertised. Backing out of the driveway is tricky and a mirror would help, but besides that, our stay was perfect!

Spectacular view of river and mountain. Cozy cabin. Getting out of driveway is difficult because of curve and needs cutback on other side to safely leave property. The beds had dog hair on them but other than that it was clean. The railing on front needs support but honestly the views from this cottage are amazing and makes the issues seem small.

Beautiful scenery

Sitting on the porch in even on the couch with coffee or a glass of vine and seeing and hearing the river…1 BIG minus…the driveway is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!!

Great home in a perfect location

Great little house on the water. Perfect for a couple or small family looking for a weekend getaway close to dillsboro and sylva. The only bad part about the hunt is the driveway location. Your view is blocked both ways so pulling into the road is a little difficult but manageable.

Nice cottage by the river

We loved the location. *You need to watch for cars passing by when leaving the driveway. ( we did an 6 point turn to turn car around to face the road)* not a deal breaker. Has a good hot shower and very comfy beds. Kitchen is well equipped. Porch is nice for watching the river and floaters go by. Mountains all around. Short drive to Dillsboro and Sylva for a variety of food, drink & shopping options. Limited tv and internet options but we wanted the quiet. Plan to come back in the fall when it’s cooler. It was a laid back little place. Perfect for a couple or solo travelers.
