    Cabin was perfect. The master bedroom mattress was amazing!!! After exploring the adjacent small towns ALL DAY, it was wonderful coming back to the cabin for a good nights sleep. The deck overlooking the water was priceless. The neighborhood appeared safe, very friendly neighbors. We will be back again soon!!

    It took me a few days to write this. I was surprised when I opened the drapes in the living area to see paint drops down the right side windows and the fair left. I expected the bugs and etc to be there. Closet in the bedroom needs some sort of lighting-with the drapes there, it’s to dark to fine your underwear. This part is on me for not speaking up- the AC unit in the living area humming would drive you crazy-my husband is heard of hearing so we just turned up the TV if not outside ( the bedroom AC unit with the door closed worked fine at night for blocking the humming ) - The pizza pan and the baking sheet pan was NASTY - glad I brought ali foil - would I stay here again? Positive thoughts -refrigerator was cold the hot water hot!!! The DECK and RiVER VIEW was WONDERFUL!! The rocking chairs

    The owner was very responsive, she got back to my messages very quickly! Im so picky about cleanliness, it can be a mansion but if not clean, I'm not having it, but this cabin was very clean. I was a little concerned since it is a little older cabin, but it really is clean. The river was wonderful , the towns dillsburo and sylva were quaint and wonderful. Me and my mom usually go to chimney rock and we were so bummed we haven't been able to go and we didn't know if we would ever find a place we like jst as much, but I think we finally did! A couple of suggestions would be to maybe put a hammock up on back porch, nothing beats a hammock in that beautiful environment, and this is a personal preference thing,but the fluorescent led lightbulbs were a bit bright, but I'm sure they thought the cabin was dark enough w the dark decor so they used bright light bulbs, but my mom has a lot of health issues and the led thats not warm soft white can start to bother her over time. Again , jst a personal preference. The sheets were clean, and if that's not clean it's a no in my book. I hate the ck in is so late and CK out is so early, and I know that more and more hosts choose these times, but when you pay a lot to stay somewhere, that extra hour really helps, esp if you are only staying 2 or 3 days. Overall we enjoyed our stay so much!

    We felt comfortable and relaxed. We loved its easy access into home and river. The covered and gated porch allowed us to enjoy the river without worrying about our dog.The bed was super comfy and shower felt great. We will definitely stay again.Suggest entry floor rugs to keep house tidier and a handrail in bath/shower.

    We’re looking to cool down some and just relax. Spent four days and did just that. Reminded me of my childhood days in the Shenandoah valley of Va. Also took the Rocky mtn train ride and may do some rafting the next time. Had relatives come up from SC for the day and they loved it also. Although we didn’t have any, particularly like they welcomed a controlled pet. Hope to come back when the leaves change color.
