Absolutely Amazing!!

Celebrating my man's birthday after multiple birthdays in a month we had no option than to take our fur babies with us. This was the absolute perfect weekend get away. Walking in late night to music and the fire (TV version) already going was so relaxing and a warm welcome to relaxation! Then to realize all the pup friendly amenities was the cherry on top of the whipped cream!It was so peaceful and even with the cold and rain there's no where else we would rather be. The rain falling on the metal roof was dreamy, the rain on our heads in the hot tub was perfect, the smokey mornings with coffee on the patio was priceless! We will absolutely be back as this for sure felt like a second home we could truly escape to.

Quiet Getaway

Great property on a wonderful lazy creek bed. Loved the view. Very clean and well kept and perfect instructions on how to reach the property. It was a windy, hilly gravel road but accessible. We had a wonderful weekend.

Exceeded expectations

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were delighted to discover the cabin was even cuter in person and we had a wonderful stay. We loved the constant sound of the river. My husband couldn't stop fishing! He caught (and released) about a dozen small fish of various kinds, so he was very happy. This property is a dog owner's paradise. The dog can have a lot of freedom to be outside with you, yet everything is fenced in. Really refreshing country vacation :)

The river view is amazing! So relaxing! The cabin was just as pictured in the listing. Great view and sound of the river from the porch or decks. It was so warm and inviting and was cleaned to perfection!

Charming cabin

This was a very charming cabin, with every amenity we wanted. The location was great and we really enjoyed the river. However, due to our ages (69 & 81) we could travel the road leading to the cabin. The upside is, we had a very relaxing 4 days, and we spent quality time with our rescue dog, Zoey.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Mattresses are very poor quality and not comfortable. Difficult to sleep on because you feel the springs. The price was too high for the quality of the stay. The guest is expected to do too many chores for checkout. The fees and cleaning costs are way too much.

Relaxing getaway

The view of the river and soundscape is exquisite. The rushing water is calming and there are multiple places to sit and enjoy the view. The cabin itself serves it's purpose.

Wonderful holiday

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This cabin and view has everything you need. We needed a break from a brutal Summer in Florida. The narrow road was challenging in our big pick up. Sitting on the porch watching a doe and her two fawns cross the River was magical. Husband only caught a small fish but happily sat on the deck with his rod. We visited Downtown Blue Ridge and Mercier Orchards. Two nice places to visit. We hope to return next year to this little piece of paradise.
