Nice place

Beds were comfortable, very important.Good cookware, equally important if you are cooking meals.Being on the river is great. Spacious. Could have used some extra dusting in places. Wasn't crazy about the dirt wall backed up to the house, especially just experiencing hurricane Hellene. A fencing brace or something would ease my mind some. Could use some cleaning bugs away from light fixtures outside. It would have been a nice touch to have some type of Christmas or decor for the season.These are small things but when you pay 1000 you kinda expect above average. Really nice place though.

The right of rustic and comfort

The property was everything that we expected. The location and beautiful scenery complimented a very well maintained and fully equipped cozy cabin. Hearing the river run just outside made us feel like we were close to nature. Highly recommend it.

Vietnam Veteran mini reunion

The property is great and will be our number 1 choice for our next adventure. The only thing we would change is the time of year. Since we are fly fishermen early June or sometime after October 1st would be better fishing. The summer months are a little slow in the river as far as fly fishing goes but we did manage to catch a couple.

Great fishing cabin!

This cabin was perfect for our annual fly fishing trip. Four of us stayed in the cabin - beds were very comfortable and everything was there that we needed. The river was running fast one day due to rain but we were able to enjoy fishing every day using waders. Two bits of advice - (1) bring water because the well water in the cabin is high in sulfur and (2) if you have any questions about the stay, call Vacasa directly because no one responds through VRBO. We would definitely stay there again!

Relaxing River Stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the sound of the river was very relaxing. The long driveway is narrow with the river on one side and thick brush on the other side. Parking is an adventure….sharp right turn, 45 degree upward and then levels at top, quick stop before hitting the wall. Gas logs didn’t seem to work (might have been out of gas) and we couldn’t get local TV to work, so we watch a lot of Netflix. The house was beautiful and well kept with an awesome upstairs Shower Room! We look forward to staying here again!

Beautiful home on the Tuskasegee River.

Well-equipped kitchen, wonderful beds and bedding, nice furnishings typical of a nice home instead of an Airbnb. We enjoyed the grill and the outdoor fire pit and road bikes along the river. Definitely coming back! PS. The only room for improvement would be that the porches need power-washing. Still, I’d rate this vacation place and setting a 5.0!
