Love this Place!!

We were working on the area so employees stayed here for the week. This is the 2nd time they've stayed here and they love it! It's clean, it's roomy and way cheaper than putting them all in a hotel. Thanks for hosting us!

We had a wonderful weekend of grilling, ping pong, fishing, kayaking, and just sitting in the sun! The house had plenty of kitchen amenities and room for us to spread out. We failed to bring coffee, so had to make a morning run, but they had a grinder, coffee pot, and even plenty of sugar (also a variety of spices were available for meals). Thanks so much!! Beautiful view and a secluded cove- perfect spot for Skinny Dippin’!

Perfect Location on the water!

This home is on a very scenic bend in the river with gorgeous views. The home is beautifully designed for families to enjoy with several river toys (kayaks, SUPs, canoes). We hope to return to Skinny Dip!

The Perfect Getaway

This home is the perfect getaway, and the perfect blend of amenities and nature. The home has everything you could possibly need with a view to die for. This is our 2nd stay, and it was perfect. We relaxed, enjoyed some snow, and even found a ton of rocks and gems down by the river.

Great House

Love the whole setup inside and out. House is clean and comfortable and roomy. There were 5 guys staying here while working in the area. They had plenty of room to relax after a hard day's work. This house was their favorite of the summer. Working with Vacasa is so EASY! Thanks for hosting us!

“This is the best place we have ever stayed at in N.C.!”,as per our kids. Great home with a frontage on a dammed river. Kids spent the time fishing, kayaking, and swimming. Took hikes, went white water rafting, and visited Bryson City. Great trip and are looking forward to renting this home again!

Great rental, incredible views

Our group of 10 loved this place! Kitchen/pantry was huge and well stocked with dishes/utensils/appliances. Beautiful secluded property, incredible views. Lots for the kids to do inside and out. Adults enjoyed the deck and fire pit. Driveway is steep and twisty, would be wary on a snowy or icy day but otherwise fine. We would stay again.

Should be featured in a magazine

The home and property are incredible. It looks like something out of a magazine or on a TV show. The home has so much space and is one with nature. The view overlooking the canyon and river must be the most beautiful view I've seen in NC.

HEAVEN ON EARTH

This was our second time in 5yrs at this home. The home is nestled right into the hillside on a lake. The environment is very quiet and peaceful with lots of berries for the picking. We found the home to be very well maintained with quite a few modern upgrades. The location is perfect for all local attractions hiking, kayaking, whitewater rafting, fishing, relaxing..... ❤️❤️❤️

Beautiful! Wonderful week with the family

8 of us enjoyed the beautiful house. We spent most of our time playing games, reading, and putting together puzzles. It had everything we needed. We had unexpected good January weather so went kayaking a couple days. The pictures don’t do the view justice. The water is close and more beautiful than expected. We would definitely stay again!

Perfect for Graduation

This house is beautiful, and location is amazing! We rented for my daughter's WCU graduation, and it was perfect. A couple broken appliances but were not a big issue for us and I'm sure they will be fixed for the next group.

Serene retreat beside the river

This home is beautifully sited without and planned within. You always want a large and well-equipped kitchen and numerous dining places and this had it all, whether working on the dining room table or lounging at the patio table, or using the table in the screened porch. Games, puzzles and dinner plates, no problem. The Tuckaseegee River, down a small path, provide natural wonder, swimming, floating and fishing. You could hear it at night from the bedrooms, soothing and constant. A place of great beauty, great fun, now great memories.

We loved the lake!

We have been vacationing here for 6 years and we love the house and location. This was the first year there has been a full lake due to the dam renovations. We loved relaxing, floating and finding fun rocks to jump off of. All three families loved our time here again. Unfortunately, the oven was broken and we were not made aware of that beforehand. Since it is a remote location, we bring food and plan to cook all of our meals. We were disappointed in the communication from Vacasa which was sporatic and misleading. The oven was not repaired during our stay.

The house was big enough for everyone to spread out and had plenty to do!

The kids loved the low level of the water and played in it every day. They loved the kids kayaks. They also enjoyed the "playground." We enjoyed spreading out. With 6 adults and 4 kids aged 2 1/2 to 9, we had plenty of room to be together or apart as needed. Grandma and Grandpa really enjoyed the quiet, spacious, master suite. The property description needs 2 small tweaks-- Describe the main entrance better. It's not just a sign on a tree. Also, it's the bottom lock that works, not the top.

The house was very dirty the floors had not been mopped in a long time. The cabinets and drawers in the kitchen where dirty the coffee cups were dirty there was roaches in the house and down stairs had a musky mildew smell. The carpet had stains and it smelled like animals had peed everywhere downstairs. I will never rent this place again. Also in the review it claims to have 5 bedrooms when it only has 4, Do not rent!!!
