The right of rustic and comfort
The property was everything that we expected. The location and beautiful scenery complimented a very well maintained and fully equipped cozy cabin. Hearing the river run just outside made us feel like we were close to nature. Highly recommend it.

Vietnam Veteran mini reunion
The property is great and will be our number 1 choice for our next adventure. The only thing we would change is the time of year. Since we are fly fishermen early June or sometime after October 1st would be better fishing. The summer months are a little slow in the river as far as fly fishing goes but we did manage to catch a couple.

This is the most peaceful spot there is. The river view is wonderful and we spent an entire day on the porch watching the boaters and fishermen. The house was roomy and accommodating.

Great fishing cabin!
This cabin was perfect for our annual fly fishing trip. Four of us stayed in the cabin - beds were very comfortable and everything was there that we needed. The river was running fast one day due to rain but we were able to enjoy fishing every day using waders. Two bits of advice - (1) bring water because the well water in the cabin is high in sulfur and (2) if you have any questions about the stay, call Vacasa directly because no one responds through VRBO. We would definitely stay there again!

Relaxing River Stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the sound of the river was very relaxing. The long driveway is narrow with the river on one side and thick brush on the other side. Parking is an adventure….sharp right turn, 45 degree upward and then levels at top, quick stop before hitting the wall. Gas logs didn’t seem to work (might have been out of gas) and we couldn’t get local TV to work, so we watch a lot of Netflix. The house was beautiful and well kept with an awesome upstairs Shower Room! We look forward to staying here again!

Beautiful home on the Tuskasegee River.
Well-equipped kitchen, wonderful beds and bedding, nice furnishings typical of a nice home instead of an Airbnb. We enjoyed the grill and the outdoor fire pit and road bikes along the river. Definitely coming back! PS. The only room for improvement would be that the porches need power-washing. Still, I’d rate this vacation place and setting a 5.0!

House was great! Road leading to it was a little rough because it had rained A LOT but still not too bad. Very close to WCU. Right on the river! I sat and watched it snow on the river! Good layout! I would love to come back in the summer and utilize the porch more!

Great cabin on the river
We loved "Above the River." It was very clean, had comfortable beds, a great view and lots of space to move around. Perfect if you are visiting your child at WCU, which is what we were doing. Just wish it was warmer so I could of opened the doors at night and fallen asleep to the sound of the river. :)

Amazing Home!
This is one of the best properties ever! It had everything you could ever need! The home was right in front of a flowing river which was very peaceful and relaxing. I enjoyed waking up to the sound of the river every morning. The area was very quiet! The pictures are exact replicas of the home and to me, it looked even better in person. I would definitely recommend anyone staying here and I would definitely consider staying her again as well. You will not be disappointed booking your stay here.
