Perfect spot for scenic views and relaxing sounds of the river. Close enough to town for shopping and entertainment while still far enough away to be in God’s country. House was very clean with a comfortable bed, large shower/tub, spacious kitchen and everything you need for an enjoyable stay! We would highly recommend!

This was a great space! We really enjoyed the home, it was very cozy and very clean. It’s not super secluded since it is on a main road, but there is direct access to the river which we also really enjoyed. It’s a good mix of being away from civilization (15-20 minutes to town) but also not way deep in the mountains. It was perfect for what we were looking for. Molly was a really great host and added some extra touches that were really special since she knew we were celebrating my birthday. We will definitely be back.

The M3 cottage was the perfect romantic getaway for my girlfriend and me. The property was super peaceful and quiet, right on the banks of the pigeon river. The property came with everything we needed and was incredibly clean and cozy. Molly and the property owners were always one call away if we needed anything at all. We highly recommend staying at this property, as the location is the perfect distance away from all of the activities in the area, and the property provide a memorable experience.

The perfect quiet romantic getaway!

The cottage has a great kitchen, bathroom, comfortable bed/bedroom and a wonderful host. There is pretty river just across the road if you want to hang out on the front deck. It is not far from Waynesville if you want to shop or dine out. I would gladly stay there again.

Nestled on the edge of the river this cottage was a perfect getaway. Sit on the deck and listen to the rippling music of the water and watch the cows and deer in the fields during the day or take in the stars after dark. Inside, everything was spotless and felt new. The bathroom was amazing. Waynesville and everything you could need is just a 15 min drive although there a few smaller stores just mins away. Would stay again without a second thought.

Gorgeous Get Away

What an absolutely, well maintained property! The unit itself was across a gorgeous creek and had all the necessities to make our trip relaxing. (That tub!!) The location was convenient to Asheville and Lake Junaluska for us, yet secluded enough to allow us to relax and enjoy the natural setting.

Clean and great location!

I initially choose this property due to the location on the river. It’s literally across the street so you can hear the water and see everything from the front porch. It’s very close to Waynesville and area towns. For a close eat we recommend the Haywood cafe. Very friendly staff and good food at a reasonable price. Place is very clean and the host is thoughtful and communicates well.
