Very nice home and beautiful views of the stream and everything we needed it was right there. Not far from Dry Falls. Quiet neighborhood very peaceful. My family couldn’t ask for a better place to stay. Would love to stay again when we come back.

For us the location was perfect and convenient. The place was nice and had everything required, just needed to wash kitchen items before use. Peaceful river with daily dose of Canadian geese visits. We enjoyed but couldn't figure out the TV with 4 remotes and unfamiliar services. All in all, a nice place to stay.
6 / 10Average·Jun 2021
We had a small family reunion here and we are very happy we were able to reserve both the upper and lower units. I would suggest reserving the upper unit if you do decide to only rent one due to the fact that the lower unit can very clearly hear everything from above as well as getting dirt and water dripped onto you if you are on the lower patio. This unit also has a very very strong smell of mold as well as a lot of humidity in the air. We found a dehumidifier and had to empty it multiple times per day and it still felt muggy. We opted to spend all of our spare time in the upper unit because it was so smelly and wet in the lower, however we did have to sleep below which wasn’t enjoyable.
The property itself is VERY cute, the river frontage is at a great location on the Cullasaja. It’s shallow enough to walk around and stay cool so we hung out with chairs in the river everyday. We had a 6 year old visit and she had a blast skipping rocks and walking around in the river.
If you only rent half of the house, I’d imagine it would be a little awkward to share the river and amenities.
