Heaven on the River
The River House is very special! It is so comfortable, so clean, the river view amazing, so close to everything, beautiful grounds, and the absolute best pet friendly location I have ever experienced! We ate at great restaurants, relaxed on the deck, cooked with family, the boys played golf, we sat around the fire pit, and used the swings on the river. We are already planning our next visit.

Cozy winter haven
This was our second stay at the River House but the first time we've been to Dillsboro in winter. We had a wonderful time! There was a big storm, and we watched as the swollen Tuckasegee carried branches and logs past our cabin. Then we had a little snow! The cabin was clean and comfortable.

Great river front location
Beautiful spot on Tuckaseegee river. Since we kayak, we could launch right out of the front yard. Large deck on the house to enjoy the view, nice gazebo right by river. House is in great shape. Only 1 bathroom and 2 bedrooms, but if your party can fit, lovely spot. Easy walking distance to Dillsboro - Haywood BBQ spot is ideal BBQ joint, Boots is an tasty upscale steak house.

Disappointed
When we found the property on the net we felt like we had found the perfect place to stay to celebrate our anniversary (47) and my wife's birthday (73). We were very excited! Within 1 hour of arriving, we met the neighbor. I was walking our dogs along the river and they crossed the property line by 5 feet into her yard. She came running out screaming that I keep my dogs out of her yard. After that, we started to get settled into the property and we fired up the fireplace. The temperature was cold outside and it was nice. After a few hours, we retired to the bedroom. Unfortunately, the bedrooms were cold to our liking and I was hoping the fireplace might help. When I went back to the great room, I couldn't get the fireplace started again. I called the rental again and they said they would get someone out to fix it. By noon the next day, I tried contacting the agent again and a maintenance person soon came out. Unfortunately, he said the fireplace had a broken part it would have to be ordered. The following morning, I walked the dog again and my dog had crossed the neighbor's "boundary line" again and again the witch came screaming out her door. I yelled back that it was an accident. By now I'm second-guessing my choice of a place to stay. We decided to try and relax with breakfast and watch the local news. Unfortunately, the big TV in the great room could not get any local stations. I contacted the agent and I was told it should get the local stations and they would have someone out to fix it after a while. At this point, my wife and I decided it was time to pack up and leave....a day early.

Very nice stay
Very nice stay at River House with river view & gazebo with swings. Dillsboro is convenient location for day trips to Cherokee, Sylva, Bryson City (for Polar Express, purpose of our trip) & even Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area. House had all amenities mentioned & needed, tastefully decorated & comfortable. Driveway access is described adequately in other comments, best to arrive during day, which we did. Would stay again & recommend.

In love with the river house.
The only thing I didn’t like about this property was it did not belong to me. I loved it. It was clean and dog friendly. My dogs did not want to leave. The river is tranquil and my soul needed that. The swings by the river and the hammocks are a bonus. The weather was great. The leaves were starting to change and I wish I could have stayed longer. I did not get to use the fire pit because of my lack of effort but it was all set up with a pile of wood ready to go. It is close to town and a quick walk down the tracks could get you there. My dogs loved that too. I do hope that I will get to stay here again when I am in the area.

Beautiful Home, nobody bothered us. Water heater could use turning up a little Hot shower was warm, couldn't get it any hotter. Very clean. We left a small load of laundry in the dryer. Called and paid a $25.00 fee for return fee. They let us know they found it and would be sending it back. WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN IT BACK. MADE 2 ATTEMPTS VIA EMAIL TO FIND OUT WHERE AND WHEN WE SHOULD GET IT. RECEIVED NO RESPONSE ANSWER BACK EITHER. MY FAVORITE OUTFIT WAS IN THAT DRYER. BEST ADVICE make darn sure you don't leave anything.

Great pet friendly home
This was the best rental we’ve had for our dogs! They could sit with us on the front porch ( which was most of the time!)and go to the backyard themselves without any chance of getting loose. Very convenient! The home is very comfortable and homey. Very well stocked with everything we needed. Centrally located for all our day trips, even Dollywood! The beds were very comfortable. Really enjoyed the front porch watching the kayakers and tubers float down the river, and looking at the mountains! Just beautiful! We hope to be back soon!

Clean, comfortable and perfect for dogs!
Very clean. Nice kitchen pretty well stocked with pots/pans, dishes, glassware and utensils— even the steak knives were sharp! Porch wonderful, grill clean and nice. Furniture comfortable, nice landscaping and river view. Enjoyed the little dock area and if you walk to the boat launch area—only a few yards— pups could play in river. Didn’t appreciate the former guests did not I know up after their dog. Leaving me to clean it up for my dogs do they don’t end up getting dirty in it (they wrestle with each other) plus did not want the next person thinking I was so irresponsible! Property is perfect for pups as well as very well kept, really appreciate that!!
