    The house had everything it listed and the pictures were accurate to what you see in person. Very well stocked inside and out. Our group loved being right on the river listening to the sounds of nature. We didn't make use of the pool or other amenities just because of the distance and crowds due to the holiday weekend. Great house. Highly recommend.

    We had a excellent time at this beautiful house! Everything was perfect for what we were looking for in a family get away trip. We had 10 persons total with 2 babies.The rooms were very spacious and clean and the beds very comfortable. We loved the large bathrooms near each bedroom.The kitchen was very well equipped from pots and pans, 2 types of coffee machines, to seasonings for our dishes. This was such a plus since we ate at home mostly. We used the Blackstone grill outside for Hibachi and grilled burgers. It was my birthday, one day, so I loved that option.My family enjoyed the large Jacuzzi, pool table and many games available in their cabinet storage. When not outside at the river, this was our go to.Since the weather was amazing, we did spend a great deal of time at the river. With 4 sons, they wanted to be there swimming or fishing on a lg lot! We also had two grandchildren staying. The playground equipment kept them busy with lots of fun! We even used the cornhole game and enjoyed family competition.At night, our favorite was the fireplace on the deck area outside. We enjoyed s'mores and family stories. There was a firepit outside near the river too, but there was a NO burn notice during that dry period. We did however, enjoy sitting in the chairs near the river. So relaxing listening to the river flow and sounds!Thank you Amy for being a wonderful host and answering my questions when needed. You have a lovely house on the water.

    All areas, inside and outside, were spacious and very well appointed. The three bedrooms with king beds worked perfectly for the adults in our family and the bunk room was a big hit with the kids. We really enjoyed the outside fireplace and the proximity of the river which provided relaxing sounds and fun fishing. We loved our family vacation and look forward to staying here again.

    What an amazing getaway for our family of 12 with six adults and six littles. Mike and Amy were responsive and helpful. Check in and check out was a breeze. The home is beautiful, spacious, and we had fun on every level. Fun games available to play, enjoyed the hot tub and fires on the porch. Enjoyed the Blackstone for breakfast and the grill for dinner. The kids loved the playground and even went tubing from one side of the property down the River to the other end. Saw deer crossing the River behind the property and lots of deer all over the area. We did not get time to enjoy the amenities of the resort area, so I cannot comment on those. We loved every second of this trip and cannot thank the owners enough for creating such a welcoming space.

    We booked the house for a summer vacation with 3 families (6 adults and 7 kids) and the choice of house could not have been more perfect! The three en suite master bedrooms made it perfect for each family to have their own space, while the kids loved the bunk rooms. The amenities / items available in the house were amazing ….

The river access is perfect, allowing my crazy crew to tube from the house even in the freezing river. The beds were comfortable and we had plenty of hot water.

    We really enjoyed our time at this property. We were traveling with family for spring break and the house was very spacious. Large rooms, large beds and bathrooms are great size too. It was so nice being right on the water, enjoying the outdoor living space and the hot tub. The beds were very comfy too! Only con is that upon arrival we had a lot of large ants on the kitchen counters and had to contact the owner. The owner came and sprayed but the smell stayed for a few days. Other than that, no issues.

    Stayed mid February and chose River Sanctuary for river location (river is beautiful). Chose the resort for indoor pool and other facilities available for multigenerational gathering of 3 families (6 adults and 6 children). We never used the resort facilities, since had plenty at this house with hot tub, pool table, games. Great 3 level layout for 3 families and plenty of room, well equipped kitchen, Blackstone grill for cooking for large group. Kids want to return in warm weather for fishing and tubing! Lots of deer seen, wild turkeys too. Highly recommend this property.

    Nice and isolated but not too far from everything. Our group of 11 adults had a blast. Property was very clean and it was close to the river which we found to be so soothing. It snowed while we were there and we were able to get outside and walk in it. Lots of fun. The house was just exactly to our liking and the checkout process was very smooth.

I’m not sure there are actually trout in the Coosawattee River but my husband enjoyed wading in the water and practicing his cast.
