This was by far one of our favorite thanksgiving vacations! The cabin was amazing and very well stocked for cooking our meals! We enjoyed the indoor and outdoor fireplaces and thanks to Amy’s communication we were able to have our firewood delivered before we arrived. The location of the cabin could not be more perfect! Listening to the sound of the river and enjoying the privacy of the location was such a nice change from our busy lives.

Cabin is very spacious, able to accommodate our group of 13, yet so cozy at the same time. The outdoor areas were our favorite part, especially watching for deer! The sound of the river while enjoying the warmth of the outdoor fireplace was priceless. The kids loved having a playground and climbing the rocks over the water. The views from every part of the home are amazing! The house has plenty of space and very well equipped. Can’t wait to go back!

Very nice cabin on the creek. The family really enjoyed staying there.

House was great and directly on the river. We did not have any luck catching fish but the water had been low to lack of rain. So between our fishing skills and low water I will chock the lack of catching to that. The Blackstone grill was looked to have been clean in a while. The hot tub was hot and very clean. We did notice a fruit flies around the kitchen sinks. We threw some vinegar down the drain and it took them out. Overall the house was clean and great location. We had a great time and would visit again.

Our family met at the lodge for Memorial Day. We had 5 children under 12 and they had a great time kayaking, tubing, exploring and playing in the Coosawatee River! The view of the river was amazing! The lodge is very peaceful with a hotub and outdoor fireplace. Several deer came to the property throughout our stay and they were all over the neighborhood.
The check-in process was easy. The lodge was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. Communication with the owner was excellent. The owner even sent a list of recommended restaurants and activities which was very helpful (Bigun's Barbeque)!
Highly recommend this lodge for family fun and relaxation!

This house is absolutely wonderful… There were 12 of us and we had plenty of room… The lot is incredible. The backyard is huge and of course the sound of the river is amazing. Amy is great to work with… We had to change our reservation a couple of times, and she was so accommodating to us… we plan to be back

This home was just perfect for our annual Moon family mountain trip. The 3 floors provided the accommodations needed for our family of 10. Whether we were sitting by the fireplace on the deck, soaking in the hot tub, or exploring the river, fun was had by all! The kitchen was very well stocked to meet our cooking needs. Such an amazing property!

We stayed in this home over Thanksgiving week and it was perfect. It was our 2nd time staying here and it was so great to be back. The layout of the house is perfect for a large family. Plenty of spaces for everyone to relax and have fun. The teenagers loved the pool table upstairs and the foosball table downstairs. The nice flat backyard and playground area make a perfect spot to run around and play for the little kids. We enjoyed the beautiful view and easy access to the creek behind the house. Access to grocery stores and such is an easy 10-15 min drive away. The house is well maintained and well stocked. We used all 3 fireplaces: inside the living room, on the patio and down by the creek. This house has it all. We will certainly stay here again.

My family of 13 absolutely loved this perfectly appointed cabin on a lush, secluded stream! The kitchen had everything you would ever need, and the beds were so comfortable. Our favorite was the stone fireplace on the deck and the fire pit in the yard. We hope to make this an annual event!

What a beautiful cabin perfect for large groups! Very comfortable and fun! We enjoyed the pool table, hot tub, playground set, backyard, and foosball table. We all slept so well with the sound of the river. The weekend we came it rained so hard so the fishing wasn’t good but we did enjoy going out and about to the different wineries. Will definitely be back. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Fir house was a great place for our 10 member family get together. We enjoyed the river setting and the hours of fun it had to offer. The fire pit for night and jungle gym were a pluses.
We loved the deer on the drives in and out and the geese that flew down river every evening.
House was clean, beds comfortable and kitchen well equipped. Two sets of washer/dryers greatly appreciated.
Amy was very responsive and a true Premier host!
Our family had a blast.

Fun on the River
Beautiful setting, fun time playing in the river running by the property, everything you need to cook and do laundry. Not far from town and river tubing. Would definitely stay here again. The seven children and six adults had plenty of room and lots of fun!

Toney Annual Family Vacation
We had a wonderful stay at the Fir house-from the entrance to the beautiful spacious home we saw so many deer, which we all were amazed at. The home is absolutely beautiful and on the river we rafted on many times from the back yard! We were amazed at the supplies left for us and the many patios that allowed us to spread out!! Many areas for fires-fireplaces,fire pit.. I would love to stay here again and our kids said it was the BEST place ever!!

Beautiful property
We took our two adult children and their families for a week at this property. The house was very clean and well appointed. The beds were very comfortable too! If you have small children, it will easily sleep 14. If your children are older, like our grandsons, it will sleep 12 comfortably.
We appreciated having tubes to enjoy the river out back, and the pool table upstairs. All the cousins had a wonderful time together and it was just oh, so peaceful to sit on one of the porches or down at the riverbank and listen to the water. We would definitely recommend this place for your large family.

Great family friendly space. There was so much to do on property for all ages. Amy was a great resource and gave us a lot of options to do outside of the property as well.
