Summary: We loved the place! Can't wait to stay there again.
Heidi M. Sep 4, 2024 06:01:09 AM
Summary: This property is amazing. The house can easily handle a large group. There were 14 of us. One of the bedrooms is a bit small so the 2 teenagers chose to sleep on couches but since we were only there for 3 nights it didn't pose a big problem. The deck is huge and the gazebo is wonderful. It overlooks the river and is a great place to read or just enjoy the sound of the river. Several of our party enjoyed fishing. Having the river right there is a plus. Lana was easy to communicate with and met our son promptly to go over the house amenities and leave the keys. The fruit bowl, snack and some more basket were nice special touches. Everyone in our party was impressed with the property and would return for another vacatrion.

Summary: Fit our needs extremely well

Summary: Our Family Vacation with 6 kids age 10 and under and 4 adults had a great time! Everyone was happy with their sleeping arrangements (with lots of beds to choose from). The river was a great draw..kids and adults all went down every day. The house was well supplied and all concerns were handled swiftly. The manager of the property was easy to get hold of and responded quickly.

Summary: Overall we enjoyed our stay. Lana was helpful and easy to get in touch with. The river view and property is beautiful and the deck is amazing, especially when you have a large family or group. The kitchen had more than enough supplies/cutlery/cooking essentials that we needed to cook big meals everyday.

Summary: This was by far an amazing place for a large family get away during Thanksgiving. There was enough space for everyone to spread out and the table was large enough for everyone to gather together. Lana was a great host and was available to answer any questions. The grounds are secluded and just absoutely beautiful. Although it was a bit chilly we were still able to get out and take pictures by the river and enjoy a campfire. Thank you Lana and we hope to return!!

Summary: We were a group of five families and we are used to vacationing together. My communication with Lana was terrific, and she was flexible with our group’s arrival time. The house is beautiful and striking when you arrive. We had a glorious time on the deck enjoying it morning, noon, and night. We tubed the little river. We drove the short distance to Black Mountain for shopping and eating and visiting some breweries. We hiked and biked. We went to Asheville. We even figured out how to use the special AGA Stove (Swedish brand) which Lana will describe for you on checking in. All the members of our party had fun! A few additional notes: The house was overall very clean, though dust and cobwebs were visible in some places. We had a little trouble figuring out where we were all going to sleep and we had to get creative with some bathroom use as well- for example, 2 bathrooms are within the master suite, which seems odd. We did figure it out, and there were plenty of sheets and blankets for our needs. One other thing we noticed is that a lot of bedrooms don’t have closets, which wasn’t and issue for us as we were just there for three nights. And the final gravel road and driveway were challenging for some of our vehicles which bottomed out or spun out. Overall, I’d say that this is a fun, special house and the star of the house is the deck! We enjoyed our stay very much. All the members of our party, including teens, enjoyed themselves!
Jason D. Aug 6, 2023 01:47:50 AM
Summary: Amazing property and amazing house!
David P. Jul 10, 2023 02:03:08 AM
Summary: The river was the biggest plus with lookouts from the deck and the gazebo.
