Would stay here again!
This is the most peaceful spot there is. The river view is wonderful and we spent an entire day on the porch watching the boaters and fishermen. The house was roomy and accommodating.

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.

Beautiful, but water stinks
The house and location are absolutely perfect. The only issues that we had were the water has a strong smell of sulfur (from the sinks, toilets, showers, washing machine, etc...). Nothing quick showers and bottled drinking water couldn't remedy. Other than that issue, would 10/10 recommend!

Not a great space for anyone with allergies
We had to move out after the first night. The home was damp and smelled moldy. The registers were coated with blackish dust. We reached out to Vacasa and were told we would be contacted by the Local Team. We have yet to hear from them.

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!

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 View, lots of stairs to climb, Cleaning not the best
The view of the river was great. 2 of the 3 bedrooms and baths were very spacious. The 3rd bedroom was tight and the bath was in the hall , nit attached. The was mold in one shower, food debris on the living room carper. The fireplace did not work. too many stairs for seniors.

Location and Creek are Fabulous!
We loved the size of the home and the location. Guest services were great as well. A few things lacking were the appliances and items provided. The refrigerator did not work well at all. There is a note about it when you arrive but we stopped at Ingles on the way in and loaded up on food and drinks for the week so we were unaware that it took so long to cool down. Nothing was cold for at least 24 hours and was never truly ‘cold’. The ice maker took forever to make ice as well. The dryer kept over heating and turning off as well. There were no extra trash bags provided but stated we must bag all trash before putting in can. This is simple yes, but having to purchase a giant box of bags for a week stay shouldn’t be. The floor was quite gross as well. Everything else was pretty clean but the floor definitely has not been cleaned in a while. Guest services did offer to come clean but we just vacuumed it so we weren’t disturbed during our vacation time. They do not state that the driveway is quite steep and the front of our vehicle was torn off trying to back in the first day. These items are an annoyance but if you know before you go, it’s not a big deal. The house was still good and the kids and adults all LOVED the creek and even went tubing down it quite a few times. House is close to other locations such as good hiking, Deep Creek Falls, gem mining, Lake Glenville and more.

Above the river
As we were coming up the stairs my husband's foot went through a big hole in the stair that he did not see because he was carrying luggage. They got someone out pretty quickly to check the stair but it was not able to be fixed during our stay. However, they have replaced the banisters around the porch which is nice and was very needed. They could have replaced stairs in the process. When the guy came to try and fix it, it was rotten all the way through. Thank God my husband didn't go through that hole all of the way! The upstairs is so very hot, while the downstairs is cold. Haven't noticed that before so that's why I'm noting it. Also some type of flying bug is nesting near the ceiling above the dining room table. Not good to have insects dropping down into the food and drink when you're eating at the table. We've stayed here several times throughout several years. We love this house that's why we've come back, but it was very lackluster this time. We've always wanted this house because of the river, rocking porch and location. Very easy to get to all of the other places to visit. Nice to have your own private area by the river with the swing, picnic table, fire pit and access to fishing. Not trying to be critical of this house because we love it. That's why we chose it several times. It just needs love. Hoping they get it together and maybe we can stay here again.
