Nice Cottage
This cottage is at a beautiful stretch of the North Toe River. The train goes by across the river two or three times a day for a nice diversion. The cottage has a pleasant front porch and nice yard with a great fire pit. The cottage interior decoration and lighting is superior.

River Joy Cottage
The home was lovely. Very cozy. The only challenge was getting there. GPS is not very good in the mountains and there were only directions if you were coming from the west. We came from Raleigh (east) and had a difficult time finding the place.
