Beautiful cozy cottage on a nestled amongst the trees on the most peaceful piece of land. The babbling of the Chauga will make you want to sit on the porch all day. The cottage is beautifully decorated and provides all essential needs.

The wonderful views along with the peaceful surroundings made this the perfect getaway if you are looking to disconnect from everything and enjoy nature.

Great Anniversary Get-Away

When we drove onto the property down the long, winding and rolling driveway headed to our own personal wilderness retreat, the stress level immediately began to ease. We really enjoyed our stay and even rediscovered the beauty of nap time! The cabin was quaint and secluded. One of the best highlights was viewing the stars from our bed! Really forward to coming back in cooler weather to try out the hammock and fire pit by the river

River Haven Getaway

We had such a a nice time on the river swimming, fishing and checking out the area! There's a lot to see and do nearby and it's close to Ingles and several restaurants. The listing is accurate and the location is secluded and private. The house is very small, but clean and cozy and there is plenty of outdoor spaces. Check in and check out was straight forward and easy.

Awesome Romantic Getaway

This property is beautiful, my girlfriend and I loved it. It’s pretty deep in the forest for a suburban couple like us. Very remote. The river was nice, and the scenery was nice. I would recommend a truck, or vehicle that does well off-road when traveling here. There is a hike to a waterfall about a 10-15 minute drive from the cabin which was awesome to experience. The only think you’ll need to watch out for is bugs/insects, ofcourse that comes with being in a forest near a river, but other than that we have no issues/complaints. If you’re looking to get away and disconnect from the world for a while, this is the spot to do it!

Great, cozy stay

The house was just as described. Right on the river, well-appointed, clean and cozy. Loved the furnishings and lamp lighting inside and the porch life outside. Strong WiFi and smart tv was a plus, and it’s about 10 minutes from an Ingles. Would definitely recommend!
