Work stay

House was exactly what we needed for a 7 day work trip at the papermill in Plymouth. A bit far to drive everyday. Leaving at 5:45 AM and not getting back until after 8 didnt leave much time for the water. But on the water location was good far sunrise and sunset viewing.

Our favorite vacation spot!

We have stayed here about 7 times (honestly lost count) and we always enjoy it tremendously and look forward to our next visit. Sitting out by the water is so peaceful and the house always comes stocked with just about everything that we ever need. Thank you Karen as always for offering up this beautiful location and we will be back!

Peaceful and relaxing

My husband and I were looking for a romantic getaway for just the two of us. We wanted something that we could juat spend the weekend enjoying us and not have to worry about the world around us and we found here. The view was perfect, the accommodations were great, and even though it was cold the weekend we went, it was still a fantastic trip

Nature's Beauty

This is the perfect place to stay if you want to get back to nature! Simple pleasures, nothing fancy, but all the accomodations of home. The sound of the water on the shores mimicked the sound of the ocean at the beach our first night there. The main bed was so comfy it was like sleeping on a cloud. We thoroughly enjoyed being on the water and the beautiful sunsets. We fished, sat on the dock, walked the waterfront, did puzzles, played cards, crocheted, baked cookies, watched a few movies and cooked meals during our stay. Thanks again for a wonderful setting!

Fishing Trip

The house was just what we were looking for on our annual fishing trip to the Albermarle sound. The house was clean and plenty of space to cook and relax with friends. The host was very helpful and responded quickly to any questions we had, we will visit here again.

Peaceful by the river

Life's simple pleasures in the beauty of this location. We spent our days at the Outer Banks but hurried back for quiet suppers and were blessed with 2 beautiful sunsets. Even got to watch a full moon rising over the water. We hope to return and stay longer.

Outstanding views , perfect place for R&R

Our too short stay was so relaxing and pleasant. Plenty of everything is furnished in their modest house, but you will want to spend every non rainy or non chilly second on the porch. Too cool to use their kayaks, but ooooh, the indescribable views of the river through the moss laden trees, from dawn to sunset, and with a full moon. We'll be back !

Took the family to the coast. This was a lovely little spot. The kids could play in the water with no issue of big waves. It was a great vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Karen York

Host profile image
This is the home place in which I grew up. I attended Columbia High School. This has the small town charm where you know everyone.

Why they chose this property

This is family owned property. I grew up with my brother on the river-fishing, swimming, canoeing, water skiing and boating. I have enjoyed many years on the river with our family and friends and would like to share this experience with other couples and families. There is nothing as enjoyable like watching the sunset over the mouth of the Scuppernong River and the Albemarle Sound every afternoon.

What makes this property unique

Watching the sunset every afternoon sitting one the deck with my family is what made me fall in love with the River House. We have shared many meals with our family and friends outside. Cooking local seafood. And best of all making home made peach ice cream.
