Serene retreat beside the river
This home is beautifully sited without and planned within. You always want a large and well-equipped kitchen and numerous dining places and this had it all, whether working on the dining room table or lounging at the patio table, or using the table in the screened porch. Games, puzzles and dinner plates, no problem. The Tuckaseegee River, down a small path, provide natural wonder, swimming, floating and fishing. You could hear it at night from the bedrooms, soothing and constant. A place of great beauty, great fun, now great memories.

Perfect for Graduation
This house is beautiful, and location is amazing! We rented for my daughter's WCU graduation, and it was perfect. A couple broken appliances but were not a big issue for us and I'm sure they will be fixed for the next group.

WCU move in
Great spot. We really enjoyed our stay at this property for a mini family get-a-way as we moved our daughter up for her college move in. We will definitely look to stay here again!! Only difficulty we experience, was it was hard to communicate with the property manager about a bear/ trash incident due to the poor reception and internet service. Had to drive off property just to get texts out. But all ended well

Relaxing Family Home
We loved our stay in this home and will definitely be back again. It is very spacious with plenty of room for a large group. There is a lot entertainment for the kids outside between climbing wall, zip line, and all the water toys. Property manager was very responsive to help with a minor issue that we had at check in so I would highly recommend them as well.

The house was big enough for everyone to spread out and had plenty to do!
The kids loved the low level of the water and played in it every day. They loved the kids kayaks. They also enjoyed the "playground." We enjoyed spreading out. With 6 adults and 4 kids aged 2 1/2 to 9, we had plenty of room to be together or apart as needed. Grandma and Grandpa really enjoyed the quiet, spacious, master suite. The property description needs 2 small tweaks-- Describe the main entrance better. It's not just a sign on a tree. Also, it's the bottom lock that works, not the top.

Bad experience
We was so excited about the property. Even considered renting on summer time because of the lake. Until we realized that the ice dispenser didn’t work, the stove barely worked, and on top of that we lost power around 12 midnight on the 26 it returned around 7 in the morning and after a few minutes it was out again. Somehow the power controls the water. We have to cut our celebration short that night. We couldn’t eat breakfast, shower, or use the toilet. We had to run out of there to be able to take care of our personal needs. What a disappointment!
