I travel for work and stay in VRBOs (and other unnamed rentals) all the time. This house is one of my favorites. Super cute. Clean. Beautiful location. And the hosts went above and beyond to make the place feel like home. We’d love to stay here again.

This quaint little house was just perfect…all the details have been thought of…robes, slippers, snacks, coffee, you name it. I’m sad we didn’t stay long enough to try the fire pit or the hot tub. So beautifully decorated too. We didn’t want to leave! Would highly recommend!

The blue house

The property was perfect. It had everything we could ask for. My daughter misses the " The Blue House" her nickname for the place. We roasted marshmallows, caught lightning bugs, and hung out in the hot tub. Thank you for having us.

Absolutely beautiful home

We had a great place at this house. They had tons of games and provided coffee and snacks. The beds were super comfy. The view was beautiful and the hot tub outside was so relaxing and super clean. My only suggestion would be for better outdoor lighting going to the hot tub. There were some of those creepy spiders building webs across the porch to the shed and we kept walking into them 😂 we had a great week and enjoyed our time here.

Pretty Blue House

We enjoyed our recent stay at the Riverside Relaxer. It was so new and fresh-looking and every bit as beautiful as the preview photos. The house was cozy and comfortable as the hostess thoughtfully saw that all necessities were provided. The gas log fireplace and Star Link-enabled internet service were plus luxuries. The fall colors and full view of the Little Tennessee River from the front porch were wonderful. This lovely "blue house" was so nice to come home to each day after being out and about. The only negative was the occasional traffic noise during the day. We would recommend a stay at the Riverside Relaxer to others.

Not for older people

There is no place in the downstairs bedroom to open a suitcase. Put the suitcases on the downstairs beds Then there was no place to sleep in the beds. The downstairs shower leaked And then the floor was soaking wet and dangerous. In the kitchen, there were two spots on the kitchen floor, where the floor was ripped or toy, and the whole floor on the chairs were totally unlevel. The stairs going up were very narrow and steep and dangerous, and you cannot carry a suitcase up. The sour did not leak, but the bathroom floor was sticky. There was a drawer where they were supposed to have aluminum foil, saran wrap something that you would use on it every day basis that was totally empty. I felt the driveway was extremely dangerous. It was hard to get into and even harder to get out. We took the garbage out on Wednesday night because it was supposed to be picked up on Thursday morning by eight. It wasn’t even picked up the week before there was still garbage and the garbage can when we got there. When we left, there was more garbage there. We were disappointed that a lot of the remotes did not have batteries in them and we had to go buy batteries to get them to work. The outside porch had not been cleaned in a long time we had to clean the chair before we could sit in them. The back of the chairs we did not clean and they were covered in dirt and mold.

This was by far the best vacation rental property we have ever stayed in. The host has put an enormous amount of time and effort to think of all details big and small to ensure a wonderful stay.
