Great place to disconnect and enjoy the simpler things in life.

The place was super clean and well furnished. Great place to just get away from it all. Really enjoyed sitting on the porch at night listening to the creek that runs through the property. Super relaxing and look forward to going back one day. Do recommend driving something other than a low sports car as there are a few spots on the road that require a little more ground clearance. Also recommend picking up enough food for your stay as its about 1.25 hr round trip to get town but dont let that be a factor. Its a great place to stay and the host is very helpful.

Spectacular Mountain Trip

This was my husband and my third time staying at Beverly’s place. It’s so peaceful and relaxing however we decided to bring our three grandkids this visit. We found lots of activities in the area they loved. (Fires Creek and Indian Boundary). As much as they enjoyed the outings, they were always ready to get back to play in the creek. It’s safe to say you won’t find a better host than Beverly, always going the extra steps to ensure you have anything you may need.

Magnificent Mountain Getaway

Beverly's Friendtal is fabulous. Beautiful river/creek, pond, games, relaxation. There is so much to do and see in the surrounding area or just relax on the huge porch or by the water. Highly recommended. Beverly is a wonderful host and makes sure you have everything you need. Can't wait for my third stay!

The place to unplug

Took my dad here for an extended weekend and didn’t want to leave. A slice of heaven, just a stones throw from the NC/TN state line. If you want seclusion, look no further. A true “off the beaten path” experience. The rushing creek, pond, the fire pit and sounds of nature. Get the breakfast too, you won’t be disappointed!

Perfect Birthday weekend! Beautiful scenery.

It was my birthday weekend so I told my husband I wanted to get away from the everyday hustling bustle of the city we live in. So I began to search and I stumbled upon Beverly's rental. I love the area I'm from Lenoir the foothills of the mountains so I'm familiar with mountains and how beautiful it is this time of year. But I've never rented out a place to stay in the mountains. I am so glad I decided to take a chance with this rental. Beverly was a gracious host. Her house was very neat, clean and decorated very pretty and seasonal. Everything was there that we needed. Her outside was truly amazing so beautiful. It looks exactly like it does in the pictures but even better in person. The weather was perfect. The only thing that I would change would she needs to mention that it is a very Rocky unpaved road to get to the property so my car really took a good beating and got very dirty LOL. Next time we will plan to drive my husband's pickup truck other than that the scenery coming up was so gorgeous. We will definitely refer this to our friends and family. A beautiful birthday weekend I will never forget thanks Beverly for opening up your beautiful home to us.

65th Birthday Retreat!

The location is spectacular...creek, tall trees, quiet community and a super nice host. It IS off the beaten path but such a lovely place that my 82 year old Mom, wants to return in June to celebrate her birthday. I had a family and friends rotation of guests coming to celebrate with me and Beverly was very accommodating... WE will be returning for other family celebration s.

Couldn’t have been any better!!!!

Oh my gosh we so enjoyed our stay! We wanted to be as close to the tellico River and had originally planned to camp but the weather wouldn’t allow it. I found Beverly’s place and knew it was going to be great! It exceeded our expectations and couldn’t have been any better. Our 14 year old wasn’t super happy when we told him there wouldn’t be any internet but he not only survived but THRIVED! It forced him to get outside with us and fish, make a fire and chase his sister around the property. The creek is gorgeous and so relaxing. The beds are extremely comfortable and the kitchen had everything plus some. Beverly was super kind and made our arrival super easy. We are already planning our next trip back! Book now!!!!

Perfect getaway!

This was the perfect getaway! No cell phone service and away from all of the city noise, which was just what I wanted. The home was clean, spacious and had all the basics. The property was gorgeous, loved the creek flowing through the yard next to the fire pit. The hammock was probably my favorite, so relaxing listening to the creek flow. Beverly, thank you for sharing your home! Will definitely be returning.

Heaven On Earth!

I can’t speak highly enough about Miss Beverly and her property. It truly is paradise on Earth. I love how secluded and quaint it is. If you’re looking for an amazing getaway from the real world, Ms Bev’s cabin is the place to be. Off the grid, beautiful creeks running through the property, a fishing pond, bridges to cross over creeks, and a fire pit you can cook on out back behind her wrap around deck with hammocks, chairs etc. Full kitchen, plenty of sleeping space for a family, directv for those who like to watch. I can’t imagine anywhere else I’d rather be. If you like being off the grid w those you love most, this is the place to be! Thanks Ms Beverly, we love you to pieces and truly enjoy our time at your cabin when we visit. —Heather, Lexie and Curt.

The best introduction to North Carolina

If you are like us, wanting to get away or experience something new then this is the place. We were excited that it wasn't something you could find on google maps and that it didn't offer wifi, who needs another generic vacation where everyone sits on their phones? Not us! The host has thought over literally everything you could possibly need and has the best recommendations for sigh seeing. It's spotless and cozy, and the water is incredible! Growing up in the mountains in Oregon I haven't had water that fresh and cold in a long time. It may be a weird highlight but it was a very pleasant surprise. 10 out of 10 we will be back. Like we are already planning to book another trip. And Beverly, brought us cinnamon buns in the morning as if it needed to get any better! She made sure that it was. Thank you Beverly for your hospitality and kindness. This has been the best vbro experience we have ever had.
