Great time at the “Guest House”

Very clean, comfortable house on the river. Excellent opportunity to throw some lures in hopes of catching a trout. Great place to enjoy the property while relaxing with the sounds of the rapids. I will be back!

Quiet Respite in Nature

We arrived after midnight and Kay had kindly turned some lights on in the guest house for us. The motion-sensor lights attached to the buildings outside also lit our path to the house which was especially helpful after a long day of traveling and car troubles. Our stay was very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped with cooking utensils, pots and pans that we were able to enjoy preparing breakfast and dinner during our stay. We especially loved waking up, exploring the property, and being surrounded by nature in general. Before we went on a hike for the afternoon, Kay kindly prepared a complimentary charcuterie backpack and included a birthday card for my husband which was a very thoughtful touch. We hiked to Yellow Branch Falls, but there are so many waterfall trails nearby for all ages and levels of hikers that you really can't go wrong whichever you choose. The pillows provided with the bed were great as well - one firm and flat & one plush and soft for each person, plus extra blankets for those who sleep colder meant that we both slept wonderfully. Kay & Keevin truly ensure that their guests needn't worry about a single aspect for their stay so that they can simply enjoy their few days in the upcountry paradise. We appreciated this so much and look forward to our next stay!

Relaxation Getaway

The property looked just like the pictures. It was a great place to get away for the weekend. My husband fished and we sat in the river and relaxed. The location is a little remote but only a short drive if you want to go eat at a restaurant. Kay was so easy to work with and answered any questions that we had.
