Relax listening to the river

This cabin is updated and clean, very serviceable. The kitchen area is small and basic, but just what we needed at the time. It was a good location for all our plans during our stay. The best part was being right on the river. Listening to the water was so relaxing, we will definitely be back.

Mountain River Getaway Cabin

This is a nice cabin situated on the Tuskasegee River. There are numerous outdoor activities nearby. We were able to see the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad train across the river. Our time to enjoy the property was limited due to a short stay and busy schedule.

Great way to wake up in the morning.

We came to Cullowhee for the emotional trip of moving our freshman into WCU. Being able to wake up next to a peaceful River and all of us being out on the deck in the morning to enjoy it was the perfect way to start this day.

Amazing view, peaceful flowing river, morning sunrise and ducks

If you love the peaceful, relaxing sounds of water in the river, watching ducks enjoy their morning swim and porch sitting, this place is for you! Great spot to drink your morning coffee and just relax. We spent 1 night (1/16/24) as a stop over on the way to Atlanta. It snowed the day before we arrived and was "very cold." The temperature was in the single digits/teens the entire time we were there. The cabin was warm, cozy, clean and had everything you needed. The owners were very helpful. I just wish we could have stay a little longer and the temperature was a little warmer. The best part of our stay was being right on the river which was very relaxing. We will be back to do some back porch fishing maybe in the fall. The view was simple and amazing.

Nice Place

Took us about 45 minutes before we could get inside. The owner of the cabin seen we couldn't get in and he tried to get the key and finally had to go to his house and get another key and let us in. But the cabin was nice, but they really need another couch. It's just worn-out. Loved the porch and river. We did fish but I think it was the wrong time of the year for catching trout. We were there September 4th. I would recommend it to anyone.

Very clean, beautiful view!

The owner was very responsive, she got back to my messages very quickly! Im so picky about cleanliness, it can be a mansion but if not clean, I'm not having it, but this cabin was very clean. I was a little concerned since it is a little older cabin, but it really is clean. The river was wonderful , the towns dillsburo and sylva were quaint and wonderful. Me and my mom usually go to chimney rock and we were so bummed we haven't been able to go and we didn't know if we would ever find a place we like jst as much, but I think we finally did! A couple of suggestions would be to maybe put a hammock up on back porch, nothing beats a hammock in that beautiful environment, and this is a personal preference thing,but the fluorescent led lightbulbs were a bit bright, but I'm sure they thought the cabin was dark enough w the dark decor so they used bright light bulbs, but my mom has a lot of health issues and the led thats not warm soft white can start to bother her over time. Again , jst a personal preference. The sheets were clean, and if that's not clean it's a no in my book. I hate the ck in is so late and CK out is so early, and I know that more and more hosts choose these times, but when you pay a lot to stay somewhere, that extra hour really helps, esp if you are only staying 2 or 3 days. Overall we enjoyed our stay so much!

Great cabin on river

We felt comfortable and relaxed. We loved its easy access into home and river. The covered and gated porch allowed us to enjoy the river without worrying about our dog.The bed was super comfy and shower felt great. We will definitely stay again.Suggest entry floor rugs to keep house tidier and a handrail in bath/shower.
