Great host experience. Some of the finishes could be updated and refined for the price. Since the hurricane, the access road is confusing. Upon accessing the gravel road there is a sign that says your GPS is wrong, and the street sign is twisted. Access road should be parked better.

We were totally impressed with the facility, the decor and amenities. Very hospitable and comfortable. The final few miles drive on unpaved trails were a bit of a challenge, but expected in the river/mountain area. Very beautiful scenery. Only regret was steep river bank and virtually impossible access to the water.

The cabin is everything you would expect based on the listing. Beautiful, right on the river, very rustic, a true mountain cabin. Beds were comfy, kitchen pretty well stocked with cooking and eating stuff. The only things not on the awesome list is that the basement flooded when we were there. A couple of notes for anyone interested in renting this cabin: a) not a good rental for families with toddlers b) when they say the roads to the cabin are rough, they mean it, and c) this is run by a rental agency and isn’t stocked the way many short-term rentals are. They send very detailed list of what they provide. If you think you might need anything else that is not in the list, bring your own. I wound up running to the store for trash bags, foil, baggies, etc.

The entire family excited everything about our visit at the cabin by the river. Check-in was fast and easy. Even the long drive caused by Helene knocking out the bridge was enjoyable. The only regret is the stay was too short.
