We all really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The property was clean and the location is great. The host were attentive and responsive, especially when we ran into a problem worth the water. We suddenly lost eater pressure, but it was fixed immediately! Highly recommended!

Amazing mountain getaway!
This lovely home was clean and well maintained in the beautiful mountains of NC! What a relaxing visit and time enjoying local hikes and restaurants and shops. The river behind the house was beautiful as was the scenery from the massive windows in the great room. It was such a peaceful getaway. Thank you for opening your home!

Great Cobin!!!
The cabin is great, huge front field with tons of privacy. The rear yard / firepit is right on the river!!! We used the firepit and grilled out. The hot tub was nice as well. Very easy to fine, I will say the transition from highway to the driveway was at an odd angle. A standard car will scrap the bottom. We will defiantly be renting this cabin in the future!!!!

This is a spectacular property. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for a crowd. Lots of outdoor space! Close to fishing and hiking. Well-equipped kitchen. Unfortunately, a few things didn’t work. But overall, we had a fine stay.

A Peaceful Retreat
The property was great. The land was great for dogs to run around. For those that enjoy the water, kayaking is possible from the house. The house was comfortable and had plenty of room and equipment in the kitchen for those that enjoy cooking and eating in. The beds were very comfortable as well.

We really enjoy this property, super clean. Full equipped, but if you are planning to work the wifi is not so great. Also, the hot tub is old and inside of one of the bathroom. The rest is perfect!

We had an amazing stay! The property is absolutely gorgeous! We didn’t catch any fish, but had fun trying. The TV channels would go in and out so we had to reset it a few times, but we weren’t there for the television. We will definitely be back!

Relaxing week
The house is even nicer than the pictures. We made use of the back porch daily and a couple of mornings it got a little chilly so we used the gas fire pit to take the chill off while we enjoyed our coffee. The house was very clean, the furnishings are very comfortable and well kept. The hot tub was clean and hot for us when we got there along with firewood for the outdoor firepit. Management was very responsive with any questions we had. We would stay again if we are back in the area. I would highly recommend staying at River Bend if you are in the area.
