Cabin in a quiet and cozy spot right on the river. Was clean with great accommodations. The owners live just a few houses down and from my brief interaction, seemed really nice. They sent messages to check-in, but we had no issues doing our stay.

A very special property, well priced for all the views and river access you get! Great for folks who want to spend a lot of time outdoors: fishing, swimming, tubing, sitting by the river. Nice fire pit for s'mores. Plenty of room for 2-3 people. VERY quiet and feels like you are in the mountains.NO thru traffic. Dead-end road.Home is very well kept, tidy, clean. Has everything you need to be comfortable. We will be back soon!

Great spring break getaway with the family. My husband enjoyed being able to fish right outside the cabin with easy access to the water. The hot tub was wonderful after a day of hiking in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. Tuckaleechee Caverns was awesome and maybe a 10 minute drive from the cabin. The host was gracious and very responsive to messages! We would definitely book again!

This was a great location for a quick getaway! Quiet location. We spent the afternoon and evenings on the porch watching the river flow by and playing Dominoes. Cabin was clean and the kitchen was small but very functional. We would certainly stay here again!!
