Summary: We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO rental! The location was fantastic — right next to a river where I could wake up each morning and fish right off the bank. The house was a great size for our family and offered excellent value. I especially appreciated the comfortable pillows that helped me sleep really well, and the high-quality cookware made cooking meals a joy. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, making us feel completely safe and at ease. It was perfectly imperfect — just the right mix of comfort and charm. We’d definitely love to come back! Oh and the hammock stand was a great addition!

Summary: We had a fantastic stay at this cottage on the Tuckasegee River. Paddle boarding every day from the home was our biggest highlight. The river is special and it definitely put us at peace with incredible scenic experiences on the water. The cottage was conveniently close to town, yet felt secluded. It was also well-equipped with everything we needed to cook or grill meals. Overall, a perfect getaway—we would definitely stay here ag

Summary: This was our first time using a rental home verse your typical hotel and let me tell you, we were initially pretty nervous about what we were going to walk into but it turned out to be beyond better then we expected!! I don’t think we will ever go back to hotels after this. The house was clean, tidy, spacious, and had everything you need and then some. The fact that we were able to bring our two large dogs to enjoy this family trip made it that much more special. There is a nice sized fenced in area on the property and plenty of non fenced in area for the dogs to run and play. The water access was such a treasure!!! The river was a large and flowing not just a small stream. We went mid October and the leaves were every shade of orange, red and yellow it was like we something out of a Thomas Kinkade painting. You have the best views from the porch!!! Worth every penny to stay here!!!

Summary: We were in Cullowhee to take our daughter to orientation at WCU, We always take our two dogs wherever we go, so a pet friendly location was necessary. Unfortunately, our older dog was recently diagnosed with cancer, so both were left behind with a pet/house sitter. The cottage is located in a quiet, private area by the river, yet it is near all local restaurants. Our three evenings were spent dining at three different restaurants in Dillsboro - just 7 miles away. Only two problems and they were minor: the front maple board that is one the eating utensil drawer needs to be glued back to the side boards of the drawer, and the linens on the bed upstairs where our daughter slept reeked on male perfume. She moved to the couch.

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this mountain home. The house was clean, roomy, and well-kept. Also enjoyed the river and beauty of surroundings. Gem of a rental so close to WCU. We definitely look to book every time my daughter runs there.

Summary: This was a good location and a beautiful spot on the river. Close to the Sylvia Greenway for an afternoon walk in a nice setting. We enjoyed our visit. Note: older folks like us might find the stairs a little challenging.
