Exceeded Expectations
This house is spectacular. The photos are beautiful, but it is even nicer than the pictures! It was a perfect home for three couples! The landscape is breathtaking. We so enjoyed the screened porch and deck and were able to hear the river and experience the complete serenity. The walk down to the river is worth every step and we all enjoyed sitting on the deck down there! The beds are so comfortable, the furnishings are exquisite, and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we could desire. The wine and popcorn were such a special treat! Tara reached out and anticipated every question I could possibly have. The location can not be beat. Obviously, I can’t say enough about this property and the owners!

Excellent Home
This home was fantastic. From the large screened in porch to the brook below it was great. It is located near so many hikes and waterfalls we could not see them all. Nice to fall asleep listing to the running brook below the house. I recommend this house to everyone.

A perfect retreat
We enjoyed a week at the River Run House, which is a beautifully appointed home stocked with everything you need from cooking a meal to laundering your clothes. We enjoyed hiking each day at nearby trails…all of which led to magnificent waterfalls! We spent a couple of rainy afternoons in Cashiers shopping and enjoying the Lea Ann Fine art gallery. Each night we dined at amazing restaurants and were particularly impressed with The Fix ( yummy Eggs Benedict! ), The Library Kitchen & Bar, The Orchard and Osteria del Monte. We loved sitting down by the river with a glass of wine and listening to the peaceful sounds of the water tumbling over the rocks and seeing “Spring” trees burst into bloom. It was the perfect place to spend time with friends!

Beautiful and well-appointed home
This house has everything you need for a comfortable stay with family or friends. Close to hiking trails with stunning waterfalls. The owner and Christy, the property manager were easily accessible and communicative. Great restaurants and shopping nearby! We will definitely return to this property—-would love to see it in the fall!
