Riverfront Smoky Mountain Retreat Near Highlands & Waterfalls

Outstanding place to forget it all

Convenient location. Easy access. Well equipped for our needs.

Enjoyed this location. The beautiful mountains and leaves of autumn were the best. Thank you very much for sharing your home with us.

We are all seniors and had a great time. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The only thing was it did not list how steep the yard to the water and picnic tables in the yard was. As seniors we were unable to enjoy the yard. Would stay there again.

Very peaceful and clean. We really enjoyed sitting on the patio in the mornings and having coffee while enjoying the River and the smoky mountain mornings. Will definitely be going back!!!

Centrally located in the town of Franklin,NC. Beautiful second level home with everything you need for a mountain get away. You are within driving distance of many waterfalls, hiking, whitewater rafting, and we tried zip lining in neighboring Highlands this time and this beautiful home is located down the street from an Alpaca farm a must see. We love the upstairs view. Thank you for our third visit to your lovely home.

This was our 3rd stay. We love that it’s on the water. It has the feel of being secluded with the bonus of being close to town. We plan on renting this property again in October .

Great time and be nice to have access to the River city nature raft.

We had a wonderful time and enjoyed our stay at the River Dance Lodge. Always enjoy our time there visiting family.

We did enjoy it. There is plenty of room and it’s a relaxing location. Beautiful view of the river. We enjoyed using the fireplace. Had some trouble and needed help figuring out the tv, but once we did we enjoyed the many options. When Yaling came to help with the remote, she was extremely helpful, patient, and very concerned that we were settled in properly. I struggled with the fireplace and she helped with that too. A few things we felt could use updates- The love seat was very stiff and uncomfortable. We didn’t use it. With both beds I felt like we needed to choose the better of the two, neither were that comfortable. We both had some back trouble with sleeping. We decided to cook in most of the time we were there. We brought some of our own utensils and a couple of pans. Some of the stuff in the kitchen was fine to use, but there were a few utensils that were in awful shape and needed to be replaced. Overall we did enjoy it. If some of the outdated stuff was replaced we’d return. For other vacationers that would plan to eat out a lot and don’t have bad backs like we do, these problems wouldn’t be a big deal.
