If I could give more stars I would! It was the perfect place to relax, reset, and enjoy quality time with family. Every detail was thoughtfully done, the home was spotless, and the setting was just beautiful. Truly one of the best places I've stayed — peaceful, comfortable, and unforgettable. Looking forward to returning soon!

We loved our stay in the cottage. It was very clean and had everything we needed. We were there for a car show and stayed a few extra days to check out Asheville and Charlotte which were both an hour drive away. The river was too cold to swim but it was quiet and peaceful every morning. We even saw an Otter! We enjoyed the Copper Penny right down the street, as we went two nights in a row. We highly recommend staying here and would go back. Our only complaint was the AC units. We didn’t understand the remotes. Other than that everything was perfect!

Relaxing River stay
We were there on Business and made this trip into a Business/vacation. Relaxing by the river doing some fishing. We did not want to leave. Prefect for all occasions.
