Wonderful little place on the river

We really enjoyed our stay. The property was perfect. The amenities were wonderful. The hot tub was enjoyed nightly in addition to a bon fire! The property managers and owners were reachable and prompt. We can’t wait to come back.

Great getaway

This is our 2nd stay and enjoyed it as much as the first. Property management responded immediately when we had questions or issues. Great location between Helen and Blue Ridge. Great price for those who want to enjoy the mountains and only need a small place to sleep and shower.

We had a wonderful time. Even though it rained like no tomorrow we were still high and dry. The only thing I would say is it needs a real deep cleaning. It was clean to the look, it does need some personal attention to it.

Dog Friendly Spot!!

It was only a 10-15 drive to the grocery or local restaurants, yet completely away from it all. The property is very cozy and relaxing, but offers plenty of activities to occupy the guests. With 2 Campers available to share, invite a friend or couple, but still have your own privacy and amenities! Would love to come back & bring one of our dogs along!!

Great get a way!

We definitely enjoyed the set up, river by the fire pit, hot tub and tv on the porch. Owner was quick to respond when we had a question. The RV was nice but could use a deep clean. Over all, we’d definitely stay there again.

Birthday Getaway

We had an absolute blast and were sad to leave. Everything was as if we were at home, all the comforts of home-away-from- home. To be able to have our morning coffee right on the river; to say it was an amazing start to the day, is an understatement. The area was quiet and the sound of the river was relaxing, even our furbaby didn’t want to leave!! This is an absolute gem and can’t wait to come back!!

Nice and Relaxing Getaway

This property was perfect for my fiance, two pets and I. There was a fenced in yard for our dogs to roam freely, riverfront access, fire place, deck with hot tub and so much more. Whenever we had any questions or needed assistance with something, I would get a reply within minutes. The property is close to so many fun activities and things to see/do we had so much fun and will definitely be coming again. Such a wonderful place!

Perfect!

We are already planning our trip for next year! The property managers were phenomenal. Ross and Melanie were so sweet and easy to reach. We were so sad to leave. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Game cupboard was fully stocked. The creek was amazing. Very pet safe and friendly. We absolutely loved it!

Property is a great location. Tubing just 2 miles down the road.

Campers were clean and property was taken care of. Nice steps down to the creek. Plenty of room to play badminton with the kids. West tubing upstream is very convenient and relaxing, we were the only ones on our shuttle trip. Only complaint is lack of hot water for showers, just ice cold from the tap.

Glamping at its finest!

My family is outdoorsy and I'm, well, not very. This little slice of heaven satisfied everybody's preferences. The two campers were clean and cozy and had pretty much everything we needed for our stay. The free wifi was super helpful, as well. My 10 year old fished in the creek pretty much the whole time we were there. We cooked amazing meals over the campfire and it was just a really wonderful couple of days away from hustle and bustle. Looking forward to doing it again.

RV stay away for 6 and a dog

We had an enjoyable 2 day stay at this property in Brasstown. It has such a lovely creek front view and fishing, swimming space. It actually has 2 bathrooms and 2 showers. One in each camper. I think they aren't allowed to say 2 bathroom due to sink placement but know there is two for up to 8 people to stay. We had 6 and were comfortable. Very nice porch and grill. Outside fridge for food overflow which was VERY helpful. The gated yard was very helpful having our dog with us. There is AMPLE extremely HOT water. We are very pleased and would go back. Thank you!

Relaxing, dog friendly stay on the river

First of all, the pictures do not do this property justice. It was even nicer. A very good sign was the dogs welcome doormat. We take our dogs everywhere and most of the time, we feel they are more tolerated then welcome. Not here, we felt at ease, letting them be themseleves. It was well stocked with everything we needed. There were games and fishing poles to keep us busy. An excellent sound system and 4k tv on porch to keep us entertained. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and condiments. We hope to return again in the Fall The only reason we are "only" giving this property 5 stars is, that is the maximum

Perfect piece of river property except for the highway noise

River front is amazing - a great combination of deep enough water for a little swimming and rocky rapids to explore! Large fencedyard area for our dogs to have room to explore a bit. We were not at all prepared for how close the highway was & the constant noise of passing vehicles that definitely impedes on the ambiance of being by the river. Also the neighbors had a few larger dogs that barked from their porch consistently for the 3 days that we were there. The first day was cold & rainy so we enjoyed the sound of the rain on the metal porch roof and stayed warm with the heaters provided. Second day was 80 degrees and a perfect day to play in the cold river water during the sunny afternoon. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much but do wish there had been a more accurate description of the location.

About the host

Hosted by Ross/Melanie Kight

Host profile image
My Wife and I are retired Air Force and live locally. We have 5 children that are all out of the house now. We love animals and have 6 dogs, 2 cows, 2 pigs, 4 goats and 2 cats. Our animals are just for us to enjoy their company and the cows, pigs and goats are treated as pets and are not food. Although we do love a good Steak. As long as we don't know where it comes from.

Why they chose this property

The Misses loves the water but gets nervous in a large lake or ocean and wanted a property with running water where she could enjoy nature and to be honest, see the bottom and her surroundings while in the water. We love taking our dogs and letting them just run on the property while we lay around, play games and listen to the water. We really enjoy using the property, but don't get to use it as much as we would like so we decided why not allow others to enjoy what we love. To be honest, the property isn't a fancy place but we just love it. Simple and relaxing. We hope others enjoy it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

My wife and I love to relax and just simply cool off in the water listening to it rush over the rocks near by. We hope others enjoy the place and stay safe while enjoying location.
