Mitchell clubhouse and restaurant. Two miles from Blue Ridge Parkway and one hour from Asheville, N.C. Other nearby attractions include Grandfather Mountain (less than an hour away), Linville Falls (less than an hour), and Linville Caverns (45 minutes)

Fantastic mountain getaway
Loved being able to walk to the creek. The flower garden was very peaceful to watch the bees and spring flowers blooming. A magnificent waterfall is literally right down the street. There is a grill and plenty of space for hosting guests. We will definitely be back.

Great location for family!
Really enjoyed our stay! Its an older home and a little dated, but has plenty of room and is stocked with what you will need to enjoy your stay. The host is VERY responsive. Had one small issue and he was right on it.

Great Getaway!
Wonderful place for a family vacation. Tha master suite is upstairs and away from main room, excellent for a brief escape. The kids stayed downstairs so we were able to put them to bed and continue visiting without disturbing them. The river is in view and also slightly audible in the master bedroom, which made for great sleeping. High quality and everything we could need. Owner reached out by phone shortly after we got there and was helpful and completely aaccessible during our stay.

Best mountain stay so far
The house was just what we needed. Perfect amount of space. Only a few minor things that needed some fixing (shower door handle loose ) but it’s an older house so not bad at all. Overall I gave it a 4 out of 5. Our family had a great time would definitely recommend or book again myself.

Riverside Retreat/Reunion
We enjoyed being about an hour out from attractions to the North and South of us. Had a great firepit neside the river for smores. Deer drank from the river and caught it on camera. 1 AC unit made for an interesting cooling situation but thankfully the air temps were pleasant. Downstairs could use upgrade but overall great spot.

Very relaxing
There were 8 of us and were very comfortable. The porch and the river were my special places. We had s’mores every night by the river which made them taste even better! I was only disappointed in the river. Of course the river can only be determined by nature!

Away for Christmas
We all had a relaxing get a way. We played games, napped, took walks and ate. I was impressed with how STOCKED the kitchen was. The only thing I reached for and wasn't there was a rubber spatula. There was an isssue but Brad (the owner) was right on it. This is a great place to unwind and enjoy, I would love to go there in the summer. GREAT PLACE!

Quaint Little River House
Very clean and lovely house. My family and I enjoyed it very much. My kids loved the river behind the house, enjoyed it every afternoon. The only suggestion I have for the owners is to add a wireless repeater or powerline network adapter to extend the wifi/internet. The router is not in the greatest place causing dead spots through the house. Other than that we had an awesome time. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home!

Great Location
We absolutely loved the setting! The house was tucked off the road with plenty of trees and shade. The surrounding area is fantastic! The South Toe river is a short walk from the back of the house and there is a nice fire pit near the stream. The kids loved playing in the stream not to mention there is a great stretch for fly fishing. The house was comfortable, but very dated. For the money spent for a 10 day stay, we were disappointed and left a day early. The living room beige carpet was stained, dirty and musty; take some Febreze with you. The kitchen was very well equipped, but several of the cabinet doors were broken and needed basic repairs. The back deck is great and well shaded. There is a nice grill which we used once for burgers and that was it - as we were out of propane – the second tank was empty. It would not take much effort to make this a 5 star rating.

Exceeded all expectations by our group of friends
Riverside Mountain Retreat exceeded all expectations by our group of friends who recently gathered here for a three-night getaway. The location on the South Toe River is perfect. The river is a short scamper away, and the sounds of the water are the perfect background when you are outside. And you will be outside once you see the wraparound porch that simply pulls you from the house. During the first day of our stay, it was 34 degrees and pouring rain, but folks kept migrating to the porch regardless. Inside, there is plently of room to spread out, three bathrooms, four bedrooms and other floor space if needed for a camping pad or cot, a great room area (living room and dining area) for gathering, a kitchen that was well equipped, including such amenities as enough trash bags, coffee filters, spices, sugar, and enough utentils and cooking gear to easily prep and feed 8 or more guests. The furniture was comfortable and functional. Towels and linens are furnished, and there were plently of extra blankets and covers for anyone needing another layer. Parking was ample and on a level driveway, and Brad was an attentive host who answered a couple of queries promptly and even called to update me about something. I suggest bringing your own camp chairs to set up under one of the covered outdoor porches or by the firepit near the river, but other than that this is truly one of those places that requires little of you other than your relaxation and conversation.

Liked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Did Not meet expectations
Left a lot to be desired. Not cleaned properly-wet towel behind the bed, heavy dust on window sills, blinds and light fixtures. Stains on carpets, downstairs shower doesn’t drain. Empty single serve wine box in bathroom vanity. Half consumed water bottle in living room. Woman’s hair tie in one bed. No light bulbs in master bedroom lamps. Grout in master shower desperately needs cleaning. Mouse droppings in oven drawer. Dog friendly yet dog found 2 plastic spoons and Lego’s under a bed that had to be taken from her mouth. Grill desperately needs cleaning-food still on it. We didn’t use it. Listing said sleeps 10 yet it really only sleeps 8. Location not quite as private as the listing suggests- neighbors closer than it appears.
