Wonderful stay

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at The River House. We so enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the River. If you have a four legged friend it couldn't be more pet friendly. They way the gates are laid out is genius for everyone's dogs. He could lay on the porch with us and still have access to the back yard. It is a short drive into Sylva for Restaurants and shopping. We really enjoyed the fire pit with an amazing grate to cook over the fire. We played cornhole in the side yard and enjoyed the River deck as well. The River House is cute, clean and well equipped for anyone's stay. We throughly enjoyed our stay.

Cozy winter haven

This was our second stay at the River House but the first time we've been to Dillsboro in winter. We had a wonderful time! There was a big storm, and we watched as the swollen Tuckasegee carried branches and logs past our cabin. Then we had a little snow! The cabin was clean and comfortable.

Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2024

The River Retreat

We travel in this area quite often to see our son and daughter-in-law. This house is the best pet friendly rental we have found for location, comfort, cooking kitchen, river views, bathroom space, dog gates, and amenities. Absolutely loved this house! This was a short visit for us, but we will be back! We are already looking at dates for another visit!
