    My husband and I loved the property and will probably stay here again! Google maps does not get you to the house you have to look at the house number on the mailbox to find the driveway. This house is so convenient to WCU. The kitchen is well stocked and we were able to cook several meals for our daughter.

    My two Boston terriers loved the place as well. It was stocked with everything we needed including a dog dish stand, coffee and tea bar and snacks. Loved it!

    We enjoyed 4 nights at the River House in late May. Came for a family fishing outing. The home is very comfortable and situated right on the Tuck with good proximity to local waters, restaurants and outdoor amenities. Communication with the property management company was a bit cumbersome (took a few emails and a phone call to get the home info/access code, etc.). The house would benefit from a few more snacks on hand upon entry and a k-cup coffee brewer. Otherwise, this is a really nice place!

    The house feels like you are away from everything and yet 5 minutes away from great shopping and variety of restaurants Kitchen is exceptionally well equipped My son loved ALL the t v channels Beautiful view of South River from wraparound porch The house and the area have their charm. Not a Touristy area at all....We plan to return this summer Strongly recommended

    Nice little spot to stay for WCU Homecoming. Sits back from the river a ways. Interior was sort of a retro 60’s look. Didn’t utilize the fire pit by the river. Very steep bank down to the water so fishing wouldn’t be very easy. The added-on fees seemed high compared to other places I’ve stayed. Suggest raising the daily rate and toss the $120 cleaning fee. Thanks.

    It was ok. The house foundation (floor) is not level. I saw some white hair on the floor so decided to sweep and found a lot of hair in living room and kitchen. A water bottle lid rolled under the stove, so I tried to retrieve it with a broom handle and brought out a lot of icky stuff. Not enough room at the top of the drive to conveniently turn your vehicle around to go back down the steep driveway. With all this said I would stay again. The location is good in relation to places and events you might want to go to. Oh one more thing. The TV seems to loose signal often.

    Most of it was as described except for the river front deck was not in the back yard of home it was across the street from the front of the house. Would recommend for the location to get to other towns of the mountains and the price of the rental.
