This home was perfect for our girl’s weekend. It was very clean, decorated beautifully, and it had everything we needed. We grilled out one evening and had a charcuterie on the screened porch. It was a perfect place to eat and be able to listen to the river below us. We look forward to coming back again.

Our family had an amazing week in this charming cabin! The porch on the river is truly paradise with the sound and clear view of the rapids. There were great views from all of the rooms and the bedrooms were large and well furnished. We had excellent response from our hosts every time we had a question. The trip to town was very easy once we learned to navigate the mountain roads. Magical!!

We had a great family reunion and the river and surrounding area was beautiful. Some in our group were much older so navigating the inside and outside steps and terrain was difficult for them. Overall, we had a great time and loved our stay, but this rental is more ideal for a younger crowd.

A nice peaceful stay with family. My favorite spot was the screened porch, which offered a bug-free place to see and hear the river. One thing I appreciated was that it offered seating for as many people as it slept, which is not always the case in some places; it has a nice long table for dining and games, and plenty of chairs around the fire pit.

Great river getaway!

Great location close to town but out far enough you feel like you are truly getting away. It sits right on the river with a 'beach' area to wade in and splash around which was fun for our whole family. Lots of outdoor entertaining areas which was important to us. The owners texted us so they were easy to reach should we have needed anything. We would definitely stay there again!
