Stay at the mountains
Hot tub was not functioning which was communicated one day prior to arrival. The first bedroom was not clean that we had to buy pillow cases, to be able to sleep. Probably due to the cold, the AC was not working sufficiently which ended in 46 Fahrenheit at the last night.

Cleaning people suck.
It was a very nice property. But the sheets were dirty, The floor was grity, And a hot tub was broken. But the place is beautiful and if it was cleaned properly in the hot tub Worked .It would have been amazing. Hopefully they fired the cleaning people and got good ones That care about their job. And fixed the hottub. I would stsy there again of these things were done.

Ok but won’t go again
Had a good time just getting away with the family for a few days in the middle of nowhere. Liked the atmosphere and location to the river but description did not include the highway being right there. The hot tub would not heat and after 2 days and 5 phone conversations with property management we were told no one would be coming to fix it. When booking places to stay, amenities are on the list of reasons I pick a place. Things happen but, clear communication from the beginning would have made expectations more reasonable. I will not book a property with this management company again. Also, the neighbors, who are not extremely close, are quick to make a noise complaint. We made a fire one night down by the river in the fire pit on the property with our kids. We were back up in the cabin by 8:15 and in bed by 10, woke the next morning to a notice of a noise complaint. I understand being respectful of neighbors and I feel we definitely were. The neighbors don’t seem to like having a rental property there and complain very easily. Nice area and we will be back but not to this specific house

Cozy Cottage
We really enjoyed the river access and hot tub. The size of the cottage was very comfortable for our family. The road noise was loud at times but unavoidable due to the location.

Great out of the way riverfront cabin
We really enjoyed our stay. Be sure to bring what you need, because the closest store is in Silva. The information about GPS not being correct was not true. The grill needs new burners, but cooked brats just fine. There are loose deck boards and the steps to the hot tub need repairs. The hot tub was awesome! The place was very clean! Bring ice, too! The Wi-Fi information sent to use was not correct. The correct information was found in the house.

Nice weekend getaway
Enjoyed the house. Zero cell service but WiFi was good, cute house. Unfortunately, did not have time to use the hot tub, but we did check it out and it was clean and warm. My only issue was the well water. It is stinky, but common for that area. Just take bottled water.

Not well maintained
On arrival, the bush at the main porch entrance that you have to go though is overgrown. I had to dodge around it to get up the stairs. Property management sent an email or text (I can’t remember) with Wi-Fi instructions and they weren’t right. There was a different router and password for this property on a piece of paper tucked away on the kitchen counter. Hot tub had dirt in it. It clearly hadn’t been cleaned. The water was yellow and smelled bad. All the closest are full of stuff so you can’t really use them if you want. The drawers in the bedrooms have trash in them. There’s trash under the refrigerator, under the night stands etc. The night stands had a coat of dust on them. The property sent an auto generated message asking about cleanliness and when I responded to it, it came back as undeliverable. The house is either on well water or had a really bad hard water problem and it shows everywhere with real bed yellow staining. The property location is nice. The dock/porch on the river are nice to sit on, just know there is a road just on the other side of the river that is heavily trafficked. I can confidently say I wouldn’t recommend this property and I won’t be returning to it.

Cozy, But That Water!
While the photos online made the cabin and furnishings appear newer, the cabin was cozy, well-stocked, comfortable and well-furnished. Our only serious complaint, and the reason we would not return, is the water. The water had such a high iron content that I could not even stand to brush my teeth with it. After washing my hands or showering, I smelled like rusty metal the rest of the day. If there was something that could be done to improve the water quality, the cabin would be a sweet retreat.

River's edge cottage
Wonderful cottage in a quaint valley. Quiet neighborhood except for the traffic on the two lane road on the opposite side of the river. The house was equipped with everything you would need for a week or weekend stay.

House on the River
Listing is not accurate- HOT TUB. - did not work, fireplace did not work, fire-pit by the river was great but no where to sit - we could have brought chairs if we would have known. Water - reviews say a bit of mineral in water - very incorrect- very high mineral content lime I didn’t want to bathe or brush my teeth or make coffee we went back into town to buy bottled water for all these. It was dusty/cobwebs- old blankets just thrown into closets. Just kinda weird- oh and the neighbor came over while we are sitting down for dinner to tell is to move one of our cars because the UPS man comes flying down the road - mind you it’s Saturday night. Not a horrible experience but sounded much nicer on the listing.

Not bad, could be better.
The Good: Overall the property was in good condition, rustic of course, but exactly what you would expect in a nice comfortable, up in a hollow mountain location. All surrounding properties were well maintained and you always felt safe. Everything was in working order and the rental was well stocked. A nice place to stay overall. The Bad: There is a rodent problem. Droppings were in the kitchen utensil drawers and in the lower kitchen cabinets. Droppings were also found in the forward bedroom on the comforter. Not something you ever want to see but an older home, down in a hollow, not lived in full time... it can happen. Not a show stopper but preventable and easily taken care of. Other things that needed attention was the overflowing gutter on the back of the house, a board on the deck that curled up when dry causing a tripping problem. It also laid flat when wet exposing a screw that revealed another safety concern. The kitchen faucet sprayer doesn't work. Easy, low cost fixes that will help improve the next renter experience. Hope this helps.

Great visit!
Visited son and daughter at WCU. Great location and house was nice. Only issue was neighbor across the street. He was out in the yard with a flashlight when my son came to visit and shined the light in my son’s eyes to the point he had to stop and and ask the man to turn it off so he could see to turn in the driveway. Never seen the man again.
