About this house rental

Summary:

Cottage on the Tuckasegee River with firepit, picnic area, hot tub, & AC



The Space:

Set on almost a half-acre, this stilted river cottage is the perfect getaway! Just a few feet from the Tuckasegee River but also close to town, this retreat is perfect for groups looking to get a real sense of the mountain atmosphere. Walk just a half-mile into Dillsboro to shop, dine, or canoe the river. Trails also fill the area for hiking and exploring the surrounding mountains.



The thoughtful orientation of this modest-sized cabin keeps the river-song in your ears and heart. Guests can use the hot tub on the front deck, the outdoor firepit (bring your own firewood), and the covered picnic shelter. Inside, you'll find a compact, but full kitchen as well as a main bedroom with a large TV with surround sound speakers.



This home also includes central heating and air-conditioning. Things to know Cell and GPS services are limited in this area. This property is managed by VueStay Vacations.

Perfect cottage just a couple steps from the gorgeous river. Very comfortable bed. Easy access to dillsboro and Sylva.My only wish was that it were a little more secluded. Overall a gem!

The Cabin was very clean and the creek was so peaceful! The only thing I would suggest is to trim down the brush at the driveway so it would be easier to see oncoming traffic when pulling out of the property. Other than that, it was an awesome place to stay!

The laundry room is under the home in a very awkward place and is dark there is no light. There is no shops to shop really for souvenirs either and there was dog poop under the bed when we arrived it was quite nasty. I would love to talk to somebody about this.
