Amazing…nature at its finest
This cabin and its proximity to the river made it a phenomenal 4 day break for our family. It’s quiet and serene, we never left the area! So much to do from kayaking, fishing, hiking, or just relaxing…super responsive customer service, we shall return ❤️

Unique place to enjoy the river.
This property is uniquely situated on the river with a great swimming hole. Above and below this position, the water depth can be swallow enough that swimming is not possible. Directly in front of the house water depth is limited to maybe 5', so even when my 11 year old daughter fell out of the kayak, she was able to stand up on her own and walk it back to shore. That safety aspect was reassuring as a parent. The house itself is very private and away from most other properties. Although cell phone coverage is zero for ATT, phones worked fine with the house wifi. The house and deck were in very good shape. The appliances were a little finicky but we were able to cook, refrigerate, and do some clothes wash loads. Distance from the house to Burnsville restaurants and shops was good. Just know its about 15 minutes to most things.

Seclusion and Serenity
THis is an amazing little cabin that makes you feel as if you are the only people in the mountain. It is right on the river with a beautiful deck that you can spend the day on with only the sounds of the water rushing over the rock. There is a small "swimming hole" where the kids and dogs enjoyed swimming all day. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

A great place to unwind
We stayed at this property in between two weekends of "lots of people" activities. The home and property were truly at the end of a remote gravel road and the perfect quiet respite for us. We and our dog enjoyed lots of splashy time in the river as well as quiet time simply sitting on the porch watching the water flow by. The sounds of the river were the perfect white noise when it was time to go to bed. The house is best sized for a couple or smaller family. Frankly, its so peaceful, you really wouldn't want too many people around anyway. We found some great hiking in the area and really enjoyed our time in town (Burnsville). Good grocery store, eateries (Snap Dragon, Pig and Grits!), and a fun brew pub (Homeplace). We are glad that we stayed here.

Everything was fantastic. If we had to say something "negative" it would be, to just have the fire pit cleaned out for the next guests. 10/10 highly recommend! Would stay there again!

This is a beautiful spot, and you won't regret staying here. The cabin was perfect for our family + dog, and the river is just amazing. We enjoyed the kayaks, hikes, and relaxation on the deck overlooking the water. Our dog will never forgive us for taking him back home - this was a slice of heaven for him!

Much neeed retreat
Lovely comfortable cabin right on the river. We were there in early November. Cabin is easy to move into, easy propane heater for chilly nights, big covered porch with plenty of chairs, small outdoor fire ring at edge of river. Plenty of wood. Secluded, quiet, always the sound of water through tiny rapids. Easy to finally get a deep breath, especially walking up the steep drive and into wide open views of spreading hills and mountains:)). Leaves falling, met a great , friendly dog to walk with, practiced rock hopping out in the river, pretended to read while just taking it all in. Got some grounding before heading home. Already looking for dates to come again.

Quiet getaway
When they say you need 4wd you do. Its not a property you want to drive out of every day. The river was the perfect place for our dog to play. The cabin was quaint but the door locks need upgrading and replacement. The only way to lock the door is using the deadbolt key, which leaves you venerable if there is a fire. The kitchen door handle came off in my hubands hand. Paper towels and firestarters were low quality. For the amount of money spending to stay at this property, higher quality products would be nice. We stay at a cabin ever year and the owners or management team always leave a welcome basket for the incoming guest. Simple things like trial bars, peanuts, and if you have a pet, a dog treat. We did not receive any welcome package. Kitchen had a lot of tools but lacked measuring cups (unless i missed them). I bring supplies to make homemade pancakes etc and could not find any measuring tools. The cabin is very cute, and the setting was beautiful and quiet. Management team was very good when my husband left his backpack, to ship this back to us the next day.

This property is amazing! The host thought of everything from the towel and blanket for the dogs ( in their own little basket by the door) to the clean foil on the grill. The cabin was spotless and smelled so fresh when we first opened the door. The kitchen had everything you would need to prepare meals. The little touches throughout the cabin just made it feel comfortable and cozy. Definitely recommend and will definitely be back!

South Toe River Cabin
We absolutely loved the location, and the seclusion it provided. The cabin was very cozy and just the right size for us, also, the deck overlooking the river was awesome! We enjoyed kayaking and wading in the river, going on hikes, the fire pit, but most of all the peacefulness of the setting. We would have given it five stars, but the cabin does need a little TLC; light bulbs out and needing replaced, handle missing off of outside shower door, bedroom pillows flat to the extent of being nonexistent, kitchen knives extremely dull. With all that being said, if we were going back to a secluded cabin on a river, we will return here.

Mountain Summer Getaway 2023
My wife and I made the trip with our two golden retrievers who loved the summer swimming. A bit cold for their humans but we tried. We caught rainbow trout, red eye bass, and smallmouth bass directly in front of the house. The cabin was nicely supplied with easy access to the outdoors. The sunrises and sunsets were beautiful. The area was cool even during the hot parts of the day. We cooked most of our meals while packing food for area day trips. A fun stay that we would do again. Try fall stay next time.
