Beautiful property, great view!

Beautifully decorated, immaculately clean! Beds & furniture very comfy. Kitchen well equipped. The view of river outback was lovely. We had an unexpected delay ( mechanical with vehicle) of 2 hrs when checking out, & they were very understanding, although there was a modest 25 fee added for late checkout. We would stay again!

Short but sweet

I knew the house was across the road from the Tuckasegee River, however I didn’t realize I could see it from the back porch. What a pleasant surprise. Our stay was for 2 nights, but we would have loved to stay much longer.
