This was the cutest house with a fully functioning and appliance stocked kitchen. My kids loved playing in the river and I enjoyed relaxing next to it. We would 100% return if we are ever in the area again.
From the Owner: "Jamie, I'm so glad you had a wonderful time at the river house, and we hope to see you again. Thank you again for such a great review."
ExcellentOwner is superb

From the owner: "Tracy we enjoyed having you stay here, and hope to see you again soon. The best times to see the area is Mid-summer or deep winter so many things to do here and nearby. Thank you!"
We had a wonderful stay, and the property has every amenity you could wish for! The interior is immaculate, Teresa communicated with us regularly to inquire about our needs or questions, and she even left us a tray full of snacks! The adjustable massage bed and walk-in-shower are incredible, and the home is just a few blocks away from downtown! Five Stars!! We will be back...soon!

From the owner: "Troy, So glad you and your family enjoyed your stay during Christmas. We hope you will be able to visit during the Summer it's fantastic being out back at the river pergola. Thank you so much for the great review and hope to see you both soon."
We had an amazing time! The house is absolutely amazing! We enjoyed days by the river, playing in the water. And evenings roasting smores over the fire.
We can't wait to come back!

From the Owner: "Monica, I don't know how I missed your review, so sorry for this delay, but we enjoyed having you all visit our lovely river house. Yes, s'mores are great by the river, and relaxing does not get better than this. Hope you visit again soon, thank you."
Home is newly renovated and impeccably clean. Beautifully staged for our arrival. Great location for my family to attend Appalachian League baseball games locally. Quiet nights, days can be busier with the kayak business next door...or just join them for a ride down the river! Host is excellent, and would highly recommend this rental.
