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.

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.

Refreshing and welcoming mountain stay

The Bubbling River was a highlight to a lovely stay. The house was very clean, and well stocked with ample space for two couples. The owner was polite and quick to respond to our questions. We enjoyed cooking in, as well as the close proximity of excellent restaurants. Close to waterfalls and other attractions.

Fall Getaway!

This home is perfect. I love the location by the river and the back porch for morning coffee. We went to the great Smokey National Park for a hike and also saw beautiful fall colors. There is plenty of room in this home for everyone. I can't wait till June to come again!
