We enjoyed our overnight stay here. It was peaceful and in a beautiful setting. It is an older building, nothing fancy, but totally adequate for an overnight stay.Communication about how to get in came a little late, but once we received the instructions, everything was fine.

The location is perfect to visit Grandfather Mountain, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk. All within 30 minutes. I can imagine it is peaceful however there was construction going on for retention pond or perhaps to fix flooding damage. 8am start time. Hopefully that will completed soon. The inside of cabin was awesome, super clean, everything you'd need.....but outside was in need of maintenance. The stairs to creek were unable to be used (could have been flooding issue). The owner handles for her Mom and lives out of state, so as a landlord myself, I sent her pictures of what I felt were issues as well as suggestions to update photos so future guests aren't surprised that cabin doesn't look at pristine as pictures online. She was very greatful and appreciated the input. I would DEFINITELY rent this cabin again.

This is a little slice of heaven in the mountains. It has everything you need to have a wonderful stay. The location is great and close to every where in the area. The neighborhood is quite and the creek behind the house is simply everything. The magic of this place can not be expressed fully. The owner was prompt with communicating with me and was helpful. I will definitely be back

Great Location
Loved being right on the river. The swing was a great place to sit and listen and be at peace. Would suggest repairing the screens on the windows and doors, as it would be a huge draw to be able to have those open when the weather is nice without fear of bugs. Overall, though, it was a fabulous retreat and I would definitely consider coming back again.

The location was great and easy to access. The river is lovely and we enjoyed walking down the rocky bank. In hindsight, the house is catering to skiers, because there is no air conditioning. That really should be disclosed. I would also suggest updating the bath linens, and invest in a frying pan. There were ants in the kitchen, a common problem we all have, but just wanted you to be aware. The porch and outdoor seating were extremely dirty, and not able to be used.

I really don’t know how I can named the place.
Entire place should be rebuilt and clean.Bathroom unacceptable.If you look at the back yard, there is a lot of trash.No laundry, place is too tight. Only internet access is good.Living room furniture is good,

Disappointing
I had to ask the property manager for the access code, which is typically provided proactively by other managers. The property was also not cleaned, as evidenced by the dirty bathroom, one of the beds not being changed, and the smelly food in the refrigerator.
