Too cold for comfort

The cabin was nice. The heating unit would not heat well so we only stayed one of the 3 nights we booked. Also, the long trail getting to the cabin was hazardous which was NOT mentioned in the ad. In fact there is a sign posted at the beginning of the driveway that says “enter at your own risk”.

The property and setting were fantastic. The problem with the property is that you almost need a 4 wheel drive vehicle to get there.

Excellent get-a-way on the river

See the above many comments that recap the charm and cleanliness of this lovely rental. I would caution folks that the narrow, 2 mile, single lane dirt access road to the cabin takes some getting used to. My son and I were not comfortable having our wives drive alone due to how it precariously borders a large drop off and has few pull offs to accommodate an approaching car. In fairness the owner should maybe mention this in the VACASA advertisement.

Perfect riverside stay

This was an adorable property close to town! Fair warning, the drive out looks daunting but isn't bad after the first time. No wifi but lots of movies and tv options.

Beautiful home

Stunning home on the river - great stay with beach front river property. The house was very spacious and comfortable to stay in. Very clean and homey! I do wish there were more cleaning supplies available such as a broom and disinfectant since we were in the river all day. Also this house has immediate neighbors which wasn’t preferred. They were very kind people however!

Nice place no problems with the cabin at all. Need to include in your property details of getting there that it is a one lane gravel road, that requires a 4 x 4 or high vehicle so you don’t drag on the road. Also must back up down the narrow road if somebody is coming your way needs to be a 2 lane road and a more visible sign of property number for this unit. The cabin has a hwy across from unit next to river that is very loud, not very quiet as the property details state.

Beautiful place

The house is beautiful and equipped with everything you need. As mentioned in other reviews Molly frequently visits. She is the sweetest as well as her owners! We had a party of 6 with 4 teenagers that loved fishing and swimming in the river.

Quiet Solitude

This was a perfect getaway. There was plenty of room and seating to relax, eat, sleep, and play. It had the basics for cooking such as salt and pepper and a couple of seasonings. There were so many pots and pans and baking dishes. The bedding was so clean and fresh. The neighbors were really nice. We truly enjoyed our stay. The drive to the property was a bit nerve racking at first. The road is very well maintained and was easy to get used to driving. Thanks for the stay!

Great vacation home

My husband and I plus our three kids loved the Orr house. It has an awesome cabin feel. We enjoyed the sandy area by the river. We had plenty of kitchen supplies although we were missing a broom! I would suggest getting one. Also I would suggest dusting of the blinds and ceiling fans. The wifi worked better than expected for being in the mountains. The single unpaved road is a little unnerving but having read the reviews we knew what to expect. I would also like to mention that in the photos of the Orr house you clearly have 5 rocking chairs on the back deck. Which is perfect for our family of five but there are actually only three which one was covered in bird droppings. That was disappointing. All in all we enjoyed our stay!

Secluded Escape

Great cabin and very relaxing space. We enjoyed our visit and hope to return. I would only recommend driving a truck or other taller, off-road vehicle to access. The "road" is rather narrow, curvy, and rocky but it's worth it!!!

Quiet location

The location on the river was great and was beautiful. Easy access to fishing from the bank. There is a rafting company that people do use often and they are floating by. The location of the cabin is within an hour of gatlinburg and the nantahala forest. The towns of sylva & dillsboro offer unique restaurants & shops. There were plenty of kitchen gadgets, pots & pans, etc for easy cooking. Just know the last mile or so driving to the cabin is a single lane gravel road.
