The host was most receptive and quick to answer all the questions I had. The cabin is right on the river with the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad track straight across. It's peaceful and scenic. The cabin is small and warm. I felt welcomed and hope to visit again!

It took me a few days to write this. I was surprised when I opened the drapes in the living area to see paint drops down the right side windows and the fair left. I expected the bugs and etc to be there. Closet in the bedroom needs some sort of lighting-with the drapes there, it’s to dark to fine your underwear. This part is on me for not speaking up- the AC unit in the living area humming would drive you crazy-my husband is heard of hearing so we just turned up the TV if not outside ( the bedroom AC unit with the door closed worked fine at night for blocking the humming ) - The pizza pan and the baking sheet pan was NASTY - glad I brought ali foil - would I stay here again? Positive thoughts -refrigerator was cold the hot water hot!!! The DECK and RiVER VIEW was WONDERFUL!! The rocking chairs

Adequate facility, The Tuckasgee River is a little threatening.

Very clean, beautiful view!

The owner was very responsive, she got back to my messages very quickly! Im so picky about cleanliness, it can be a mansion but if not clean, I'm not having it, but this cabin was very clean. I was a little concerned since it is a little older cabin, but it really is clean. The river was wonderful , the towns dillsburo and sylva were quaint and wonderful. Me and my mom usually go to chimney rock and we were so bummed we haven't been able to go and we didn't know if we would ever find a place we like jst as much, but I think we finally did! A couple of suggestions would be to maybe put a hammock up on back porch, nothing beats a hammock in that beautiful environment, and this is a personal preference thing,but the fluorescent led lightbulbs were a bit bright, but I'm sure they thought the cabin was dark enough w the dark decor so they used bright light bulbs, but my mom has a lot of health issues and the led thats not warm soft white can start to bother her over time. Again , jst a personal preference. The sheets were clean, and if that's not clean it's a no in my book. I hate the ck in is so late and CK out is so early, and I know that more and more hosts choose these times, but when you pay a lot to stay somewhere, that extra hour really helps, esp if you are only staying 2 or 3 days. Overall we enjoyed our stay so much!

Great cabin on river

We felt comfortable and relaxed. We loved its easy access into home and river. The covered and gated porch allowed us to enjoy the river without worrying about our dog.The bed was super comfy and shower felt great. We will definitely stay again.Suggest entry floor rugs to keep house tidier and a handrail in bath/shower.
