The stay was nice , loved the river , although I don’t believe there are any fish in that water . Fished all 3 days , 6 of us fishing , not one fish was caught , not even a single bite . The grill didn’t work , only the front part of the burners would turn on , and only on low , the oven took over an hour to cook fries at 400 degrees and pizza took almost 2 hours cooking two of them at 400 degrees . The house had animal hair All over the place , the floors didn’t look like they had been swept or mopped , ceiling fans were dusty and dirty . There was hair all in the downstairs shower , the hot tub wouldn’t get past like warm and had a mind of its own when it came to turning on or off by itself . The power shut off due to the breaker blowing several times throughout our stay , went without hot water one night and the fireplace didn’t work after the first night , the tv didn’t work either til the final night , I think there’s something going on with their electrical for all of those items to be Messing up . Overall nice place , The drive to the house is terrible , don’t take a low car . And get what you need before you get to the house . Would definitely go again if the issues above were addressed .!

This was perfect for me and my family. We used all the amenities. Will be booking again in Spring.

The creek was great. We were able to build a fire.

We loved the house. The view, fire pit by the river, everything about it. Has everything you would want. It does have the busy noise from the highway but didn’t bother us at all. The ride in is long but it’s the mountains so that’s expected! So close to Cherokee and we went out and explored each day. We had a great time.

House was really clean. Had everything you need for a weekend of fun! Does take 5 minutes from main road down bumpy road which is common in the mountains. Will definitely be a returning guest!

We absolutely loved our time at Full Stream Ahead! Getting there in a Prius was….fun, but once there, it was hard to leave everyday! As everyone has said, it’s tricky to get to the property. But if we could do it, you can! Unless you have no clearance under your car. Seriously, you will probably hit bottom a couple times and maybe take a wrong turn. But it gets easier. More signs would be good. The house, though, wow! Drinking coffee in the mornings and having dinner on the porch was the best. The highway noise was never bad, and the stream was so nice! Honestly have nothing bad to say. Everything was well-appointed and very clean as well! Do yourself a favor and stay for a week. You won’t want to leave!

My husband and I wanted to do something we’ve never done before for our 30 year anniversary. We decided Harrah’s Casino would be fun. Our children, age 21 and 16, came with us for a few days then left so we could have a couple of days to ourselves. Full Stream Ahead is a beautiful home. It was clean and well stocked for any cooking that we wanted to do. Hot tub was a lovely, relaxing feature. Due to the late August weather being warm, we did not get a chance to utilize the fire pit but can imagine how nice it would be to sit around and socialize. I read many reviews before booking. Here is what I would say, the road noise is loud. If you’re used to it, it won’t bother you and inside it is quiet. Unfortunately, it did drown out the beautiful river. We enjoyed the view and had a wonderful time but did miss the quiet and being able to enjoy the rushing of the river. The train… we only saw one time, and it was fun waving at the passengers. The drive in and out to the main road is tricky. My daughter did just fine in her Chevy Trax, and a smaller vehicle could make it but it wouldn’t be fun. A truck, Jeep, etc is better. It is not wide and you must pull over if you meet another vehicle, only happened to us two or three time and luckily, where we could pull over with ease, or the other person could for us to pass. We did lose power but after calling vacasa, the manager got it taken care of quickly. Overall, nice space, good views, but a little loud outside. Great trip!!

Beautiful house and overall an enjoyable stay. House was surface clean (beds, kitchen items, furniture surface). However, behind the furniture there were massive amounts of thick dust, the couch was dirty to the point we went and purchased cheap blankets to cover them so we could sit on them, the cushions on the dining room chairs were detached and would slide off if you weren’t mindful of them, cobwebs in most high corners, and door knob areas and baseboards were discolored from layers of dirt and grime. Washing and dryer worked great. Hot water was good. Well lite around the house and by river. Hot tub was nice once we realized it took about 24 hrs to heat up. Road to home is definitely an adventure. Dirt road to home does not accurately describe the very narrow, very rough road you are required to take to get to the home. It is doable but for anyone coming in a low car or unfamiliar with mountain dirt roads might have issues navigating all the drainage pipes that cross the road continuously and narrow road. The home is VERY isolated from the main highway, so guests should take that into consideration if someone in your party might be at a high risk for needing medical attention. We were able to swim and fish which was the main reason we selected this home.
