This is a very peaceful place and the riverside setting on a quiet piece of road is nice. I liked that the bedrooms were on either side of the cabin and the privacy that provided. The kitchen was well supplied and it was easy to use. Everything was very clean and well maintained. Thanks!

Everything was exactly as listed. Well stocked kitchen and pantry with everything needed. Well furnished, clean and comfortable. Nearby recreational options (Black Bear Park on Lake James)) and hiking trails are very near & better than advertised. We all enjoyed a quiet, restful scenic spring visit.

Excellent stay and lovely property. Wonderful place to join our family and friends for the weekend. The open floor plan was perfect for our needs. We loved playing board games on the covered porch and deck.

Great place! Nice layout with view of the river. Loved the screened porch area and spent as much time there as anywhere! Very clean, comfortable beds, easy check in and the kayaks are a nice bonus! Definitely recommend if traveling to that area.

Weekend getaway

Wish we had more time to stay. We didn’t have time to enjoy all of the amenities. Great place to stay, far enough away from neighbors to enjoy the quietness but close enough to town for shopping. Will definitely try and go back here in the fall.

Great location

This rental is in a great location! We were able to get to the Lake James Park in 15 minutes and it was about 10 minutes from downtown where there were stores and restaurants. It also had a great screened porch, where we spent the majority of our time when at the house.

Perfect Getaway

The house was new, clean and perfect for our family of 5. We stayed for 4 nights. The house was cozy but still had enough space and all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. Sitting in the screened porch with the river in the back was so peaceful. The host was very responsive and we really enjoyed our time here!

Nice Retreat!

Clean, comfortable, and nested right by the river. House had everything we needed, but we opted to use the fire pit overlooking the river to cookout and enjoy friends. Owner is friendly and responsive. Highly recommended!

If you want a peaceful retreat then look no further! This is your spot! The house is perfectly clean and well appointed. My favorite spot for a morning cup of coffee was the screened in porch looking out at the river. Unfortunately we didn’t get to spend our time allotted there and had to leave early.
