What a great property right on the river. My grandkids enjoyed fishing, floating the river, playing pool and air hockey. My wife loved the scenery and sound of the river. The house was very clean and well stocked. I really appreciate the recliners after a long day hiking and rock hounding. I felt good to prop up my legs. We are thinking of booking a longer stay next year.

the listing is not a house it is a home - amazing place to stay - right on the river - soothing sounds from multiple decks - best stocked kitchen we have ever had, and we have traveled each season for the last 10 years. Pool table was a plus for us - all ameneties are there, muliple TVs games and the river. Harry is an awesome host.

Absolutely wonderful.

Beautiful place to stay. We relaxed by the river and caught a few trout and fried them for dinner. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Mr. Miller was very pleasant and greeted us when we arrived. We will definitely stay again.

Perfect Getaway

We have stayed here numerous times. My family loves the house and practically live in the river. Smores around the firepit and chasing fireflies is a perfect way to end the night.

We had a wonderful stay at Harry’s house. This was our third summer and we can’t wait to come back next year. Harry is a wonderful host and makes the house feel like a home. The kids had so much fun splashing and tubing in the river. This home is the perfect location and we were able to explore so much around western North Carolina.
