This updated riverfront home is ready to host you and your family for a fun Smoky Mountain vacation in Western North Carolina!

Wake up to the sound of the Tuckaseegee River right outside your window and whip up breakfast in the well-equipped, full kitchen. Complete with stainless steel appliances, a Keurig with K-Cups, a toaster, a blender, and various dishware - cooking is made effortless. When mealtime rolls around, dine at the attached breakfast bar, at the bistro table, or alfresco on the furnished back deck. TV trays are also available for your use if you'd prefer to eat while streaming your favorite TV shows and movies.

The living room is a place of pure peace with its gas fireplace, soft seating, and large TV. When you aren't kicking back and reading or watching a show, engage in some playful competition over one of the provided board games.

Outside, you can fire up the gas grill to host a sweet summer barbecue, play corn hole in the yard, fish in the river, soak in the hot tub, or gather around the firepit for s'mores and campfire stories. Near your stay, check out Nantahala Whitewater Rafting and the Dillsboro River Company for hours of thrill, head to Harrah's Casino for drinks and games, or enjoy the vast North Carolina wilderness on a Fontana Guide tour.

Beautiful cabin right on the river

We only stayed 2 nights but the cabin was great. Right on the water. Unfortunately we stayed during the burn ban so was not able to utilize the fire pit which was great. Would definitely stay here again.

Great spot for a relaxing vacation

This property is located super close to town and is easily accessible. We only stayed 2 nights but wished we could have stayed more. The porch was lovely in the afternoon sun. We came to spend homecoming with our daughter at WCU and would definitely recommend this home to others.

Post Holiday Getaway

Really enjoyed our two days here! We just stayed in and relaxed as it was raining most of the time. But it was perfect and the house is very comfortable, clean and decorated simply and nicely. I wish we could have stayed longer but had to get back to reality!

Peaceful Riverfront Escape

We absolutely loved our stay at this cozy property directly on the river. The house was spotless, very comfortable and had so many thoughtful touches. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook,  including a variety of spices. The cabinets were labeled and very organized. They also provided kpods, teas, creamer and sugar. We enjoyed hanging in the hot tub and playing cornhole, cards and games. Perfect place to either unplug or stay connected-WiFi was good and they even had USB ports in the bunk bed walls. We were so pleasantly surprised to find a basket that had a ton of essentials in case you forgot something at home (my son forgot his toothbrush!) Spacious outdoor areas, the peaceful riverfront setting and all the amenities made this a great stay. Can’t wait to return!

Family river retreat

This house was perfect for our little family. Located right on the river with spots for the kids to play in the river (watch out for all the goose poop though!), grill to cook outside and fire pit for smores at night. Only a couple minutes drive to downtown Dillsboro or Sylva. The house itself had everything we needed and the porches were great to spend extra time outside. The hot tub was great too! The AC worked well and the blinds/curtains were great to let us sleep in a little bit. The kids loved the bunk beds! Only downside is the property is also just feet off the road where cars/trucks/motorcycles coming flying around the curve and can be a bit noisy as well. But overall would definitely recommend this rental.

Very Disappointed

The porch and view of the river was nice. Hot tub was good. The pictures were very misleading. The house was only about 20 feet off a busy road. Lots of road noise and headlights. Very small parking area and dangerous to pull out into the road. Goose poop was everywhere, was like walking in a cow pasture. Poorly working A/C and WIFI. Fished for four days and caught nothing. We booked based on so many good reviews. I don't usually write reviews, but hopefully this will save somebody a bad vacation.

It was a small cozy home for our family. We enjoyed the decor and the comfort of a "home" while on vacation. The hot tub was clean and perfect for the weather.

Very nice retreat

Aside from the AC not working the house was very nice. It was clean upon arrival, well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. The AC did not work the entire time we were there but I don’t blame the homeowner for that. I called Vacasa 4 times. On the day we arrived we were told someone would be out that night or the next morning. Never happened and wasn’t fixed while we were there. I feel sorry for the people arriving today. It was hot in the house and uncomfortable. I would rent the house again if the AC worked.

Overpriced

The house is nice and the location right on the river was great. However, we paid $4000 for a weeks stay late October 2022. When we arrived the pantry and refrigerator were completely bare, not even salt! Many pieces of glassware were chipped. There was a five cup tiny coffee pot that had the handle on backwards so you couldn’t even pour coffee from it. There was a dirty towel hanging on the back of the bathroom door. The wifi worked part of the time. The property proclaims to sleep nine and there is indoor dining seating for three. The cable boxes did not work so the only television was streaming. We expected better for our money.

Trout heaven

The property is located in a delayed harvest trout area right on the river. The deck was great as well as fully stocked kitchen ( pans, can opener, grilling tools, spices etc). Shower had plenty of pressure and house was decorated nicely. Furnished with books, games, internet etc. Would stay again.
