We absolutely loved our stay at Red Gate cottage! The amenities were all excellent, the location was perfect and the home was incredibly comfortable and welcoming. We especially enjoyed the bottle of wine upon arrival. One of our favorite parts was relaxing to the sounds of the river. It truly felt like a little slice of heaven and made our stay so peaceful and memorable. Everything was thoughtfully prepared, and we felt right at home from the moment we arrived. We would gladly stay here again and are already looking forward to rebooking in the future. Highly recommend!

Cottage was wonderful, quiet and restful. The only complaint was that the dishes on the shelves were dirty. Bowls, plates and silverware had visible food stuck to them. We will visit again but just check dishes and rewash them.

I have been using VRBO for about 10 years and this was by far one of the best experiences I’ve had. The property is beautiful. The drive seems intimidating but after a day you are used to it. Everything is conveniently close but takes longer if you are not used to Mountain roads. We definitely plan on coming back. The home is beautifully stocked and maintained and the host even presented us with a bottle of wine. Loved everything about it.

Peaceful cottage

Such an amazing gem of a place. Very clean, well stocked, nicely decorated and had absolutely everything we needed. The 3 bathrooms were appreciated as we were a group of gals. We enjoyed dinner on the screened porch by the river. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely rent here again.

Great house overlooking the river!

Family of five had a great time! Beautiful home that is well stocked and managed. Short distance to downtown Hot Springs, nice hiking trails and waterfalls. Only drawback was the lack of direct river access but that is solved by a 5 minute drive. Would stay again!

Perfect October retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed the house, the views, the town of Hot Springs and the river. The house is wonderfully stocked and very comfortable, and the evenings beside the river were fantastic. The town is eclectic and delightful and everyone is so hospitable. Everything was so relaxing - we couldn’t have enjoyed it more.

We loved our stay in this beautiful river home. The house is new, and the owners have thoughtfully outfitted it with everything a guest could need. My favorite part of my stay was enjoying coffee (or wine!) on one of the screened in porches overlooking the river. Wish I was there now!

Well stocked with great views!

One of the best rentals we have stayed in! Extremely clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Location feels private with amazing river views. Access to the river is limited at the house, but a short drive to the water isn't too bad. Downtown Hot Springs is so close and easy to get to. We will be back!

Thanksgiving with a view!

Wow! This place was immaculate and so well equipped. We stayed over Thanksgiving and the kitchen was fully stocked with any and everything your need to make a fantastic meal. The view of the French Broad River was ever-present, and gorgeous. We took advantage of the gorgeous fire pit overlooking the River. I highly recommend staying here!

Great March Getaway

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The house was beautiful and well supplied with all that we needed for our stay. The screen porch was well used by our group. Who needs a sound machine for sleeping when you have a river outside? Listening to the river flowing by was very soothing. The only part we didn't like was all the potholes we had to avoid to get to the house. Would highly recommend to anyone needing a tranquil place to stay.

Brenda, Thank you for the kind review and for staying at the Red Gate Cottage. We are happy to hear that the house and location by the river were appreciated by your group. Yes, at times the road to the house can get pot holey. Several times per year the DOT will scrape the road, weather pending. It sounds like it was due time for your stay. We hope that you will return to our river home the next time you need a little R&R. Best, Marion and Mary Helen, Rental Host

Rest, relax, and recharge

We came to get some much needed rest. We had planned to check out some trails in the area, but once there, we never left! The house was so cozy and comfortable. We could hear the river from the house. The kitchen had absolutely everything we needed to cook our meals. I spent about an hour or two just soaking in the tub. It was perfect.

Hidden Gem in Hot Springs, NC

This is a beautiful property in a gorgeous location. Communication with the host was great. Upon arrival, the house was exceptionally clean and very well equipped. The French Broad River is right across the road which offers a beautiful view with the peaceful sound of the flow. We enjoyed a fire every night in the fire pit. The 2 ways in and out to this property are fun to walk and explore if one wanted to. We will be back for sure

Beautiful French Country Cabin in an Incredible Location

The house is practically brand new, however that doesn't take away from its beautiful French country charm. The homeowner has terrific taste in every little detail of the property. It also comes well supplied with all the needed household utensils. The views and sounds of the river are so tranquil. We loved having fires in the firepit. There are some cool trails nearby and if you enjoy driving off road (or mountain biking) there is a very cool road down by paint rock. We loved it and would definitely stay again!

Jason, thank you for staying at Red Gate, and thank you for your rave review! Red Gate is a class act! The owners have carefully considered every detail with guest enjoyment clearly in mind. I wonder if you looked through the album of their family involvement with the property for multiple decades? I think it is so special that they enjoyed it with their family in what was essentially a river shack, and then when the time was right, the house was reborn into what it is now. There is a lot of love there. Anyhoo, we hope you will return to the Red Gate and continue to explore what the surrounding mountains and river have to offer. All the best, Marion, Rental Host
