Should be featured in a magazine

The home and property are incredible. It looks like something out of a magazine or on a TV show. The home has so much space and is one with nature. The view overlooking the canyon and river must be the most beautiful view I've seen in NC.

Serene retreat beside the river

This home is beautifully sited without and planned within. You always want a large and well-equipped kitchen and numerous dining places and this had it all, whether working on the dining room table or lounging at the patio table, or using the table in the screened porch. Games, puzzles and dinner plates, no problem. The Tuckaseegee River, down a small path, provide natural wonder, swimming, floating and fishing. You could hear it at night from the bedrooms, soothing and constant. A place of great beauty, great fun, now great memories.

Perfect for Graduation

This house is beautiful, and location is amazing! We rented for my daughter's WCU graduation, and it was perfect. A couple broken appliances but were not a big issue for us and I'm sure they will be fixed for the next group.

The Perfect Getaway

This home is the perfect getaway, and the perfect blend of amenities and nature. The home has everything you could possibly need with a view to die for. This is our 2nd stay, and it was perfect. We relaxed, enjoyed some snow, and even found a ton of rocks and gems down by the river.
