Summary:

Riverfront gem with wraparound deck, horseshoes, firepit, hot tub, WiFi - 2 dogs OK



The Space:

Get away from it all and find sweet serenity here at Full Stream Ahead, a riverfront retreat that will spoil the whole family! Boasting unobstructed views of the Tuckasegee River, a hot tub, a furnished wraparound deck, a hammock, picnic table, corn hole, horseshoes, and a firepit, you can easily spend each day at home with unlimited fun right at your fingertips. Start each morning in the fully equipped kitchen and brew a cup of coffee to enjoy out on the deck as you wave to the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad Train which passes right behind the house! When days come to a close, the warmth of the gas fireplace will welcome you with open arms as everyone kicks back on the plush sofa while watching a favorite movie on the mounted TV.



Bring your fishing gear and enjoy fishing in the hatchery-supported, trout-stocked waters of The Tuck (fishing is closed in March). During the summer months bring your floats and tube down the river in the sunshine. Feel lucky Just eight miles away is the Harrah's Cherokee Casino open 24/7. Experience the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and Blue Ridge Parkway, both just 12 miles away if you have a few outdoorsy guests. Want to stay close but venture outside Check out Uncle Bill's Flea Market on Highway 74E just a few miles from the cottage (between Dillsboro and Cherokee).

    Great little cabin. Our family of 6 fit perfectly. The manger was great and very responsive to any and all questions we had during our stay. We enjoyed the fire pit by the river. It was a beautiful trip.

    The hot tub was clean but not heated when we checked in. Took it about 20 hours to go from 74 degrees to 100 degrees. Very long gravel road which is one lane and traffic flows in both directions was the only real negative about this location. Sometimes we would have to back up 150 foot or so to a driveway to allow someone to pass. Beautiful place.

    Great house and location. Had a few issues with stink bugs and warm water but other than that it was great!

    The dirt road to the house had multiple roads veering off with no signs telling us which way to go. The beds were so uncomfortable that we left a day early because we were so sore. We will never rent ANYTHING from you again!!!

    Our stay was good. Had problems with a breaker continuing to trip that was tied to the hot tub, lights and tv. Not a big deal but had to unplug the hot tub to watch tv. Also pictures showed a dock at the water and there was not one. Assume it got washed away with storms but listing should be updated. Besides the road noise (which we didn't mind), area was quiet.

    Great house for guests. Great for fishing, bon fires and relaxing. I adjusted to the drive pretty quickly on the one way street. I hope to go back again soon. Loved it.

    We loved the lay out of this house! It was perfect for a family of 5. The fire pit by the river was perfect. The highway does add a lot of noise but you eventually get used to it! Walking the tracks was fun and we caught some fish in the river. Our only complaints are that when we arrived there was no power to the downstairs. It took some time to figure out which breaker because it wasn’t fully tripped and the numbers listed for the different breakers didn’t match the breakers. Updating that would help in case the breakers are tripped for other guests. There was also a lot of bugs, not bugs from being dirty, just leaf footed bugs that maybe a quarterly spray would help with. There were also quite a few wasps in the upstairs bathroom window. We killed about 4, and then more came in later. I would suggest looking into that as it seemed they were coming in from the top of the window and there may be a nest in the siding or something. All in all this was a great rental and we look forward to returning again in the future.

    I had the pleasure of staying at the Full Stream Ahead for my graduation weekend! The house had a lovely view and plenty of space for my family and guests to be comfortable. Hot tub was in good working condition contrary to what other reviews had mentioned, however, the overall cleanliness of the home could have been better upon arrival. Driveway was not terrible after rain and plenty of parking space. We were also able to walk ten minutes to the walking bridge for some amazing photos over the river.
