Trout fishing Trip with Son
Amazing!
The host was very communicative, inviting, and her property is one of a kind. We did not catch any trout but will be returning this spring. 5 star property for sure and such a great value!

Wonderfully Unique Property
My husband, dog and I visited this local vacation property for a long weekend.
The property is spacious with a trout stocked creek at your doorstep! We enjoyed relaxing to the sounds of nature while fishing and reading. Solar lights are a romantic and fun touch at dusk!
There's electricity and multiple heat/cooling options. Mini fridge and running water made our trip feel like home.
Location is a few minutes from shops and restaurants. I recommend Fancy Gap Country Store for delicious food and ice cream!
Thank you, Jodee for answering all our pre-trip questions! We will definitely be back. Maybe we'll bring the kids next time <3

Amazing slice of mountain peacefulness
This was a wonderful alternative to our normal tent camping since most of the campgrounds we go to were impacted by the hurricane. Definitely looking forward to another venture here
