This house is spectacular. The photos are beautiful, but it is even nicer than the pictures! It was a perfect home for three couples! The landscape is breathtaking. We so enjoyed the screened porch and deck and were able to hear the river and experience the complete serenity. The walk down to the river is worth every step and we all enjoyed sitting on the deck down there! The beds are so comfortable, the furnishings are exquisite, and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we could desire. The wine and popcorn were such a special treat! Tara reached out and anticipated every question I could possibly have. The location can not be beat. Obviously, I can’t say enough about this property and the owners!
Beautiful property, kitchen amazing, gracious hosts, perfect!
This home was fantastic. From the large screened in porch to the brook below it was great. It is located near so many hikes and waterfalls we could not see them all. Nice to fall asleep listing to the running brook below the house. I recommend this house to everyone.
We enjoyed a week at the River Run House, which is a beautifully appointed home stocked with everything you need from cooking a meal to laundering your clothes. We enjoyed hiking each day at nearby trails…all of which led to magnificent waterfalls! We spent a couple of rainy afternoons in Cashiers shopping and enjoying the Lea Ann Fine art gallery. Each night we dined at amazing restaurants and were particularly impressed with The Fix ( yummy Eggs Benedict! ), The Library Kitchen & Bar, The Orchard and Osteria del Monte. We loved sitting down by the river with a glass of wine and listening to the peaceful sounds of the water tumbling over the rocks and seeing “Spring” trees burst into bloom. It was the perfect place to spend time with friends!
This house has everything you need for a comfortable stay with family or friends. Close to hiking trails with stunning waterfalls. The owner and Christy, the property manager were easily accessible and communicative. Great restaurants and shopping nearby! We will definitely return to this property—-would love to see it in the fall!
The house is beautiful. The screened in porch was the best. You could sit out there and lister to the river go by. The house was very comfortable. The check out could not have been easier. I loved the fact that you did not have to do a lot before you left. Recommend this house to everyone. Great location to hiking and waterfalls
Beautiful, spacious house in a breathtaking setting! My kid’s went skiing almost every day and I enjoyed cooking full meals in the gourmet kitchen for them. We relaxed and reconnected as a family. Wonderful trip!
location/River View and home layout was great Tv channels not good at all.
Great river view and sounds, kitchen well stocked, comfortable bed, very clean and would definitely stay again. It’s a real gem!
This property is not just a rental. It felt like a real home! The house is lovely, clean, comfortable and so well equipped. It was truly amazing! One of our favorite areas was the screened porch where you could hear and see the river down below. We were also impressed with all the large windows and the sliding glass door across the back of the house including the bedrooms that had such an amazing view, including the river! It is also in a great location for quickly accessing 64 to head in any direction for sightseeing. There are also nice restaurants and a grocery store nearby. The homeowners and their cohost were both very attentive and provided information for our stay. The welcome basket was a special touch!
A beautiful, comfortable home. We hated to leave!
This was a rare occasion where our entire group felt that this property was even nicer than the pictures portrayed. Beautiful home and setting! We loved watching and listening to the river. Everything we needed or wanted was provided. Would definitely stay again!
