Beautiful place

The house is beautiful and equipped with everything you need. As mentioned in other reviews Molly frequently visits. She is the sweetest as well as her owners! We had a party of 6 with 4 teenagers that loved fishing and swimming in the river.

Beautiful home

Stunning home on the river - great stay with beach front river property. The house was very spacious and comfortable to stay in. Very clean and homey! I do wish there were more cleaning supplies available such as a broom and disinfectant since we were in the river all day. Also this house has immediate neighbors which wasn’t preferred. They were very kind people however!

Quiet Solitude

This was a perfect getaway. There was plenty of room and seating to relax, eat, sleep, and play. It had the basics for cooking such as salt and pepper and a couple of seasonings. There were so many pots and pans and baking dishes. The bedding was so clean and fresh. The neighbors were really nice. We truly enjoyed our stay. The drive to the property was a bit nerve racking at first. The road is very well maintained and was easy to get used to driving. Thanks for the stay!

Excellent get-a-way on the river

See the above many comments that recap the charm and cleanliness of this lovely rental. I would caution folks that the narrow, 2 mile, single lane dirt access road to the cabin takes some getting used to. My son and I were not comfortable having our wives drive alone due to how it precariously borders a large drop off and has few pull offs to accommodate an approaching car. In fairness the owner should maybe mention this in the VACASA advertisement.

Quiet location

The location on the river was great and was beautiful. Easy access to fishing from the bank. There is a rafting company that people do use often and they are floating by. The location of the cabin is within an hour of gatlinburg and the nantahala forest. The towns of sylva & dillsboro offer unique restaurants & shops. There were plenty of kitchen gadgets, pots & pans, etc for easy cooking. Just know the last mile or so driving to the cabin is a single lane gravel road.

Quick weekend getaway with friends

My wife and I with another couple came up for a weekend. The driveway was long and narrow and we were concerned after reading several reviews about it however it was no trouble at all. Cabin was nice and well supplied. Our only issue was traffic noise, while picturesque there is a major highway right across the river and somewhat takes away from the tranquility we hoped for with the river proximity to the back porch. Overall nice place to stay but I doubt we come back....

The Orr House

When we arrived we were immediately greeted by this sweet dog Molly! She was very well trained and always waited for permission to enter the cabin. We left our dog at home due to long days of exploring so she made us miss them a little less! The cabin was very clean, beds were comfortable and plenty of linens were provided. The cabin is next to a busy road so traffic is kinda loud at times but did not interfere with sleeping. The road going up is a little scary for us Floridians at first but we managed it just fine. Overall a great cabin where lots of memories were made for our family!💕

Great vacation home

My husband and I plus our three kids loved the Orr house. It has an awesome cabin feel. We enjoyed the sandy area by the river. We had plenty of kitchen supplies although we were missing a broom! I would suggest getting one. Also I would suggest dusting of the blinds and ceiling fans. The wifi worked better than expected for being in the mountains. The single unpaved road is a little unnerving but having read the reviews we knew what to expect. I would also like to mention that in the photos of the Orr house you clearly have 5 rocking chairs on the back deck. Which is perfect for our family of five but there are actually only three which one was covered in bird droppings. That was disappointing. All in all we enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful home near Asheville

The home and setting were absolutely beautiful. The all wood pine interior felt well designed and cozy. There were 3 adults and one dog and all the bedrooms were very comfortable. The loft bedroom is very nice and private despite being open. The deck looking out onto the river was cozy, even in January. Do NOT be concerned about the narrow road. We had no issues even on a foggy, rainy night. One issue, the very kind neighbor has an off leash dog that pooped EVERYWHERE! Even on the gravel driveway. We pick up after our dog no matter where he goes to the bathroom, but we had to avoid the other dog's waste all over the property. Also, I will never book a property that uses Vacasa again. Their customer service reps (who I talked to just 3 times) were not friendly and didn't really know anything about the property. No help and never really answered specific questions. The property itself...gorgeous.

Holy Highway Noise!

First off the cabin is very nice and comfortable and had everything we needed, including a gas grill with 2 propane tanks handy. The view of the river from the deck and grounds is beautiful. This is a secluded cabin in only the sense that you will have to traverse a roughed-in one way mountain rd. This was no issue for our 4WD Subaru and we only encountered 3 other vehicle's on our 6 night stay, luckily we encountered them near a passable area otherwise one of us would have to reverse down a steep narrow rd. Once you reached this beautiful cabin you think you have made it to peace and serenity... until you realize the main highway that runs through the town is just a stones throw away across the river and drowns out any peace and quiet you are seeking. Unfortunately i had already booked a nonrefundable stay before reading the others comments about this issue, so if you are reading this, think twice about whether this will bother you or not. Its not so loud it will keep you up in your bedroom, but is loud enough to drown out the babbling river noise all day and night. I came up from the very busy Tampa FL area and hear less road traffic. This was a huge disappointment and although a beautiful cabin and view. We will not return. Also, towels smelled terrible, had to rewash multiple times and there was pet hair on all the comforters. We tossed them off the beds and used the provided clean sheets and throws. Everything else was sparkling clean.
