Absolutely beautiful location on the river. Be prepared for a bumpy drive down a dirt and gravel road to get there but the view is worth it.House is clean and has all the basics. Bobby is very easy to communicate with and fully transparent about the property.

No WiFi , bad water, not all electric outlets worked,some quit working while we were there, not enough light bulbs to replace the bad ones, Could be a nice place with some attention. No WiFi meant no tv till day5 of a 7 day stay. I made our reservation several days ahead of time obviously not ready for our stay

I’m not sure what the pictures are for. That’s all they’re junk in the floor. These are the people you would never want to rent to. This guy did nothing but complain ever since he got thhe was well aware of the water and of the Wi-Fi situation my Electrician told me that the reason that the Bob blue was overloading the outlets with extension cords the guy was a pain in the rear end from the go. They just wanted something for nothing one star review for him. If I were, you don’t rent this guy.

It was a beautiful stay, the host was quick response and fixing the issue when our AC stop working, the hot water had a rotten egg smell but we just used the cold water. The river was easy to get into especially for a 4 year old to play in. Lots if adventures nearby to explore.We enjoyed our week long stay.

Hidden Gem

We stayed here this past weekend to go spend the day at the Homestead. We will definitely be returning here in the summer to enjoy the river in the front yard and spend time fishing the river and Lake Moomaw. The owner has access to kayaks and a canoe to float the river. There is an awesome walking trail walking distance from this property. A great weekend deal with lots of amenities around!

Positives: Nice cabin in an awesome location. Having the river right there is really very nice. Negtives: The water in the house is very hard and the hot water smells awful, so much so that nobody wanted to run the tap or take a shower because it made the whole house smell like skunks. A water softener and an anode rod in the hot water tank (and lots of hydrogen peroxide) would be an enormous help. Also, the main bedroom with the king bed just off the kitchen has no curtains, so plan on waking up with the sunrise. The house layout is weird. You have to walk through this "bedroom" to access the wooden deck from inside the house. Deck looks into bedroom as there are no curtains as previously mentioned.Would have been nice to have a supply of wood near the fire pit. Just broken beer bottles in there when we arrived.Overall, not a bad place, but needs someTLC to bring it up to what you would expect for 300/night.
