Private eco-retreat with screened porch, play area, & wood stove

We had a great stay! It was perfect for our family. We’re excited about planning to come back again!

The house was very dirty the floors had not been mopped in a long time. The cabinets and drawers in the kitchen where dirty the coffee cups were dirty there was roaches in the house and down stairs had a musky mildew smell. The carpet had stains and it smelled like animals had peed everywhere downstairs. I will never rent this place again. Also in the review it claims to have 5 bedrooms when it only has 4, Do not rent!!!

Love the whole setup inside and out. House is clean and comfortable and roomy. There were 5 guys staying here while working in the area. They had plenty of room to relax after a hard day's work. This house was their favorite of the summer. Working with Vacasa is so EASY! Thanks for hosting us!

This place was just perfect! There was so much space. The kitchen was so well equipped! We had a perfect long weekend with our mostly grown kiddos!

We were working on the area so employees stayed here for the week. This is the 2nd time they've stayed here and they love it! It's clean, it's roomy and way cheaper than putting them all in a hotel. Thanks for hosting us!

Close to wedding venue Running Cedar springs and wonderful place to relax and enjoy family time after the wedding!!!!

Fabulous home near Running Cedar springs wedding venue. Perfect for commute to our daughter’s wedding. We enjoyed kayaking on the river, ping pong, making smores and just enjoying family time as well. A. Will be retuning for celebrating wedding anniversaries.

We have been vacationing here for 6 years and we love the house and location. This was the first year there has been a full lake due to the dam renovations. We loved relaxing, floating and finding fun rocks to jump off of. All three families loved our time here again. Unfortunately, the oven was broken and we were not made aware of that beforehand. Since it is a remote location, we bring food and plan to cook all of our meals. We were disappointed in the communication from Vacasa which was sporatic and misleading. The oven was not repaired during our stay.

the location was great. beautiful view

Property has great bones with an amazing location. Layout is spacious and very well equipped for large family gathering.

Everything except the driveway.

and honestly not sure VRBO has a heart. I'm sure there were many people who rented something in beautiful Western NC that the utter destruction of Hurricane Helene upended. Ours was in Tuckasegee an area that the state of NC declared a state of emergency and prohibited travel to by anyone other than official emergency help. Neither VRBO nor VACAS, despite sending actual NC gov. info., refused to acknowledge the actual conditions in the area. They blithely said everything was fine. If all we lose is two nights rental it will be nothing in comparison to what the communities will go through to rebuild their beautiful towns. We will go back to WNC whenever they are ready for us. But we will never rent from the heartless VACASA or VRBO. We heart WNC.

“This is the best place we have ever stayed at in N.C.!”,as per our kids. Great home with a frontage on a dammed river. Kids spent the time fishing, kayaking, and swimming. Took hikes, went white water rafting, and visited Bryson City. Great trip and are looking forward to renting this home again!

This was our second time in 5yrs at this home. The home is nestled right into the hillside on a lake. The environment is very quiet and peaceful with lots of berries for the picking. We found the home to be very well maintained with quite a few modern upgrades. The location is perfect for all local attractions hiking, kayaking, whitewater rafting, fishing, relaxing..... ❤️❤️❤️

I will be looking to book this place every time I visit my family there. Beautiful place with a lot of space and everything you need! I have stayed at many places and never seen a place like this with so stocked with everything you need. From kitchen utensils, appliances, outdoor activities, etc . One of a kind place!

This home is on a very scenic bend in the river with gorgeous views. The home is beautifully designed for families to enjoy with several river toys (kayaks, SUPs, canoes). We hope to return to Skinny Dip!

Our group of 10 loved this place! Kitchen/pantry was huge and well stocked with dishes/utensils/appliances. Beautiful secluded property, incredible views. Lots for the kids to do inside and out. Adults enjoyed the deck and fire pit. Driveway is steep and twisty, would be wary on a snowy or icy day but otherwise fine. We would stay again.
