Amazing time on the river!

This was the perfect location for my family to congregate for Thanksgiving!!! It is so peaceful being by the river. The accommodations were clean, close to the highway and restaurants/stores. Thanks for making our holiday special and would definitely book again when in the area!

The property was 10 minutes away from the US Whitewater Center that we were attending for Swiftwater training. It provided us everything we needed for the week. The owner was very responsive and easy to get in contact with.

Restful!

Great, quiet location close to Charlotte without being in the city (although the sounds of I-85 and airport traffic remind you of the nearness of Charlotte)! The house is nicely laid out, decorated, and stocked with all we needed making our stay very comfortable and enjoyable.

We had a wonderful stay at this riverfront location! We enjoyed the outdoor activities on the property- the campfire, kayaks, small island access with a beautiful sunset of the river! Our host Mike made sure our stay was perfect! Communication was great! Highly recommend!

Fantastic Location Outside Charlotte

This house was absolutely everything you could want out of a rental. The house was update and very homey. It was a fun location on the water but still only minutes outside Charlotte. I highly recommend this place for a unique stay outside Charlotte.

Quick family visit

We really enjoyed this quaint house! It was beautiful and clean. The owner was great to work with. We asked for extra towels and he drove over with them. The fire pit and the little island were big hits with the kiddos! I would love to stay here again!
