Beautiful location on the river!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and charming. The location was right on the river and the grounds were so serene and beautiful. You are very close to local parks as well. We really enjoyed the privacy.

Awesome Romantic Getaway

This property is beautiful, my girlfriend and I loved it. It’s pretty deep in the forest for a suburban couple like us. Very remote. The river was nice, and the scenery was nice. I would recommend a truck, or vehicle that does well off-road when traveling here. There is a hike to a waterfall about a 10-15 minute drive from the cabin which was awesome to experience. The only think you’ll need to watch out for is bugs/insects, ofcourse that comes with being in a forest near a river, but other than that we have no issues/complaints. If you’re looking to get away and disconnect from the world for a while, this is the spot to do it!

Cozy cabin getaway

This cabin was awesome! The location is super quiet and peaceful with the river out front. The driveway is long and allows you to feel secluded and tucked away in your own little oasis. The cabin itself is very clean and super cozy for a nice weekend getaway.

Great, cozy stay

The house was just as described. Right on the river, well-appointed, clean and cozy. Loved the furnishings and lamp lighting inside and the porch life outside. Strong WiFi and smart tv was a plus, and it’s about 10 minutes from an Ingles. Would definitely recommend!

Ahhhhhhhhhh…..serenity

We needed a getaway where we felt like we were the only ones around, and it didn’t disappoint! Serene quiet atmosphere with a small calm river. The cabins decor was absolutely beautiful, and it was tidy and quaint. Absolutely lovely.

Great Cabin Getaway!

If you're looking for a great place to get away with great views, go ahead and book this one! This cabin is clean, comfortable, and well-furnished. We stayed two nights and had everything we needed. We took a dip in the creek that runs right outside the cabin. My wife says we'll be staying here again.

Quite Getaway

The property was very nice. Easy location to get too,only mishap that we had was when we were going to get something to eat and we got stuck leaving the property. My husband put it in 4 wheel drive and we got out. I wouldn’t advise anyone to drive a car here. But overall we loved it!!!

This truly is a Hidden Gem

River Haven was the most magical, beautiful little hideaway. Tucked out of the way, down a long dirt road through beautiful wooded property, this tiny house opens up to a beautiful river. The house was perfectly appointed with all our needs perfectly met. We enjoyed wading in the water outside and sunning on the rocks. Would definitely enjoy visiting here again.

We loved staying here and look forward to returning to the area! The cottage is modern, very clean, and well stocked. My family really enjoyed the proximity to the river, just steps from the porch. Communication with the host was prompt and professional. Check in/out was a breeze. Definitely recommend! Five stars :)
