Comfy cottage on the Tuck

The house was right on the river and is nicely appointed. The location near Dillsboro is also excellent.

Little paradise

This cabin had the best view out of all the cabins on the river. You could see a clear view of the mountains and at sunrise/ sunset was even more beautiful. Tons of wildlife to look at on the river and great fishing! Tubing is a must (best to drive up, park and float back down). It is an older cabin with no wifi but with the views and fun you can have on the river or fireside, you don't even think about wifi Overall LOVED it

Spectacular Views

You have a view of the beautiful river from practically every room! The home was just as advertised. Backing out of the driveway is tricky and a mirror would help, but besides that, our stay was perfect!

Spectacular view of river and mountain. Cozy cabin. Getting out of driveway is difficult because of curve and needs cutback on other side to safely leave property. The beds had dog hair on them but other than that it was clean. The railing on front needs support but honestly the views from this cottage are amazing and makes the issues seem small.

Nice cottage by the river

We loved the location. *You need to watch for cars passing by when leaving the driveway. ( we did an 6 point turn to turn car around to face the road)* not a deal breaker. Has a good hot shower and very comfy beds. Kitchen is well equipped. Porch is nice for watching the river and floaters go by. Mountains all around. Short drive to Dillsboro and Sylva for a variety of food, drink & shopping options. Limited tv and internet options but we wanted the quiet. Plan to come back in the fall when it’s cooler. It was a laid back little place. Perfect for a couple or solo travelers.

Beautiful scenery

Sitting on the porch in even on the couch with coffee or a glass of vine and seeing and hearing the river…1 BIG minus…the driveway is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!!

Great home in a perfect location

Great little house on the water. Perfect for a couple or small family looking for a weekend getaway close to dillsboro and sylva. The only bad part about the hunt is the driveway location. Your view is blocked both ways so pulling into the road is a little difficult but manageable.

Small cabin well maintained indoors. Outdoors did not offer easy access to river/fishing. Many weeds entangled bank fishing lines and steep, rocky slope to water level. Fishing was disappointing but cabin was very good. The driveway was very dangerous because of the curve very close. Driveway offered almost no room to turn around. Took several attempts to get pointed outward. Only minor comments for interior such as lamp did not work and couldn’t locate switch for kitchen table (my fault most likely). If fishing access was created, this would be a “10”. I know one cannot control where fish are located-just provide easy access somehow. Undecided if we will return… any improvements will be very much appreciated by us looking for both fishing and outstanding views of mountains and the river !!

Nice views

The cabin was very nice however the air conditioning only worked the first night and it did not get fixed during our stay. It made our stay less than comfortable unfortunately.

Cute home great location.

Nice as a getaway for two. Negatives were the cleaning crew needs to step it up a bit and clean under and behind furniture and the master bed mattress sags and two people roll into the middle. Water pressure in the shower has a bit to be desired.

Driveway is a nightmare

Lovely, cozy home! Getting in and out of the driveway was awful! We trailered our motorcycle and we won’t make that mistake again here! Other than that it was a great visit! No WiFi at this property either
