Hurricane Helene

The house is very cute and in a nice location. There is a nice hot tub, large deck, grill, and it is walking distance to a clubhouse. The owner was great to work with and so helpful! Unfortunately we were there when the hurricane came through so we were without water, electric, cable, etc. We were not able to enjoy the amenities . ”

Delightful!

A beautiful, well appointed property in a peaceful setting. Lovely grounds for walking to the river and strolling with our dog. The cottage is within 10-15 mins of charming village restaurants and shops and close to several North Carolina ski resorts and historic attractions. Jack and Lisa Marie were wonderful hosts and very helpful with suggestions and property information. Thank you for everything…we enjoyed our stay at your lovely mountain home! ”
