Amazing River Hideaway
Amazing, beautiful, quiet, private cabin setting on the river by Lake James. Screened in deck overlooking the river kept the bugs away. Barton and Marsha were incredible host. HIGHLEY RECOMMEND Marsha's chef service. Her meals are super delicious and she delivers right to the cabin. Everything was so clean and well laid out!! We plan to come back!!

Quiet Weekend Getaway
We enjoyed our extended weekend in the peaceful little house on the river! We were able to access some hiking trails with a little drive. The kayaks at the property were an added bonus. Great screened in porch too!

Great place! Nice layout with view of the river. Loved the screened porch area and spent as much time there as anywhere! Very clean, comfortable beds, easy check in and the kayaks are a nice bonus! Definitely recommend if traveling to that area.

Perfect Getaway
The house was new, clean and perfect for our family of 5. We stayed for 4 nights. The house was cozy but still had enough space and all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. Sitting in the screened porch with the river in the back was so peaceful. The host was very responsive and we really enjoyed our time here!

Cute Cabin
The cabin was perfect for our stay. The host was very responsive. It was centrally located for us to visit the following: Biltmore Estate, Linville Caverns, Linville Falls, Mount Mitchell, Looking Glass Falls, Sliding Rock, Lake James, and Catawba Meadows Park. We also loved the screened in back porch. The kayaks were an added bonus that we were able to utilize.

Great location
This rental is in a great location! We were able to get to the Lake James Park in 15 minutes and it was about 10 minutes from downtown where there were stores and restaurants. It also had a great screened porch, where we spent the majority of our time when at the house.

Couldn’t have asked for a better experience
Awesome CLEAN Vrbo. The location is exactly what I needed which was quite peaceful and secluded. We needed to get away and find tranquility. We spent most of our time lounging on the enclosed patio enjoying the fire table. The property has river access. Enjoyed listening to the birds in the morning. Lots to do nearby. Check out the Linville Caverns and Linville falls nearby. Awesome hiking. Host is extremely helpful and communicates promptly. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Will be back!

Weekend getaway
Wish we had more time to stay. We didn’t have time to enjoy all of the amenities. Great place to stay, far enough away from neighbors to enjoy the quietness but close enough to town for shopping. Will definitely try and go back here in the fall.

Clean, comfortable, and nested right by the river. House had everything we needed, but we opted to use the fire pit overlooking the river to cookout and enjoy friends. Owner is friendly and responsive. Highly recommended!
