Enjoyed our stay by the river. This is an older home with some modern updates. The fence in the front yard was much appreciated but the property is still rather close to a very busy highway. The backyard is very nice by the river with access.

Nice vacation spot

We had a wonderful vacation- the location was close to the cute little town of Burnsville and hiking trails. We had fun in the river and even tubed from Carolina Hemlock Recreation Area down to the house. The kitchen was well stocked and king size bed was really comfortable!

N. Carolina Vacation

Our trip to North Carolina was great. We planned our location because of the proximity to Asheville and Johnson City TN to visit with family in both locations. The VRBO was peaceful along the river and was a great location for us.

Cozy on the River

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this location this past weekend and the host was very accommodating and kind! The view on the porch was amazing and so relaxing. The house felt cozy like home and had all the accommodations that I needed. I definitely look forward to staying here again and next time when it's warmed up so I can hop in the river.
