Serene & dog friendly

Cabin and surrounding views were exactly as indicated in pictures and VRBO listing. It was very clean and even had some doggie amenities that were a nice surprise. We thoroughly enjoyed staying there and hope to be back for a longer stay in the fall. PS: We recommend having a vehicle & driver that can climb up and down steep gravel roads.

River Solace was perfect!

We had such a wonderful time at River Solace. We came for our honeymoon and left with so many great memories! The property was gorgeous and the cabin was so cute. We loved soaking in the hot tub and building a fire by the River. We will definitely be back! - The Binkley’s

Perfect for Two

We had such a good experience, great little place for two and even room enough for a couple of kids. We didn’t bring our pet, but we should have – great fenced-in yard, dog bed, and even a jar of doggie treats! Cell reception is so spotty, I wouldn’t rely on it. The position of the cabin is so close to the mountain river you can hear it! We loved staying there and will definitely be back!

Excellent girls trip!

The cabin and its proximity to the river were a total DREAM. One word of advice to travelers- the road to the cabin is rough. Come in an SUV or truck, and not in a low sitting car.

Beautiful river view

Had an amazing birthday up in the mountains. Got to see lots of deer from the cabin and ride up to cabin. Spent most of our time in north Carolina because of the rain. Definitely would rent again

Awesome river cabin

This was such a fun cabin. I caught my first trout right outside! There were so many deer and lots of wildlife, me and my husband had a great time. The road to get to the cabin is a little rough with gravel/potholes, and the cabin had that pet smell but overall we had a blast. Beautiful, quaint cabin on the river.

The view was beautiful.

We were not at all impressed with this cabin. The bathrooms were clean but everywhere else needs TLC. The microwave was rusted through the bottom. The dishes were chipped in multiple places. Blinds were broken, windows filthy, porch furnishings had to be cleaned before we could use them.We had a good time being together, but wished the cabin had been nicer.
