    We had an absolutely wonderful time on our mountain vacation! The location of the house was convenient to several nearby towns but far enough out of the hustle and bustle. The sound of the river that could be heard out on the deck was amazing and we loved having the ability to tube right in our backyard. We fished, went rafting, played a lot of board games, and had a great getaway as a big family. This house provides plenty of space and as a bonus has a bathroom for nearly every bedroom. We can't wait to book again for next year!

    We loved everything about Tuckaway Retreat! There was plenty of room for our extended family to spend time together. We loved the huge deck overlooking the river and the three floors to spread out on. Our teens loved the first level with their own kitchen. The bedrooms don’t have TV’s so they set up their Xbox down there. The main floor is the 2nd floor and is spacious for everyone to play games or watch movies cook dinner etc. The third floor has the twins bedroom and a queen bedroom but also has a roomy loft space for reading or working. We loved fishing and tubing the Tuckaseegee right from the house - we would leave a car and take out at the Webster church river access. We loved being so close to Sylva, Dillsboro and Cullowhee. Such a beautiful area to explore! Easy access to GSMNP, Franklin, Cherokee, and all of the Ruby Mines in the area. We would absolutely rent this house again and look forward to coming back!

    This house was amazing!! So spacious with plenty of spots to cozy up with a book and/or enjoy the amazing view and sounds of the river. Was stocked well for a fishing adventure which is not why we were visiting, but it made me want to book again for a fishing trip with family. Would certainly stay here again.

    House was really nice. Loved the kitchen in the basement area Added to convenience. Would have liked an earlier check in and later check out perhaps an hour or so without the 150 extra. But we got up and out earlier than expected.

    Everything was perfect. Pictures dont do it justice. Its not a creek but the Tuskgage River. Absolutely beautiful. Family members remarked several times, save this cabin, its our favorite.

    Beautiful house on the banks of the Tuck! Very spacious with plenty of room for all. House was very clean and accommodations were great. Would definitely recommend this house to others and plan to return. Close proximity to WCU, Sylva and Dillsboro.

    Tbe house was great, mostly clean (there was a baby spider in one of the night lights in one of the basement bedrooms but that's kind of unavoidable in the mountains). There was a cricket or something outside/near/in the pipes (I'm not really sure where) the queen bedroom in the basement and I could barely sleep it was so loud and so frequent. When I went outside to check it out, I couldn't hear the cricket, so I don't know where it was coming from. All the other rooms were geeatand we had a blast hanging out and enjouing the amazing food in Sylva ?

    Family reunion of 11. House perfect for us. Well equipped We enjoyed playing in the river. A little road noise from across the river we did not expect but tolerable. We had some problems with the Local VACASA Team and were not able to use the grill. They never sent someone out to fix it like they said they would but that is not the house's or owner's fault. The house was very nice and we were glad we rented it. Thank You!.

    An amazing place to stay. Clean, comfortable and perfect. If you are looking for a place to stay for fishing as we were this, is it. Do not look any further. Walk out the door and start fishing the Tuck right away or call a guide. Best trip in a while.

    What a perfect home for a family gathering! We had 9 family members in for graduation this weekend and Tuckaway Retreat was no less than fabulous! Ready on time, sparkling clean, well-appointed, and the view...oh the view! We hope to make yearly use of this special place, it is now dear to our hearts and part of a memory we will always treasure!
