This was our second stay at the Blue River Cabin. It is a lovely, private spot in the woods that feels "off the grid" but offers electricity, plumbing and high speed internet!My family had a wonderful time fishing in the river. Thank you for allowing us to vacation in your delightful cabin!
My husband and I stayed for a long weekend. The cabin was about 40 minutes from the track, though it is only about 10 miles away. The accommodations were exactly as listed, comfortable, and the sound of the water was incredibly relaxing. You are not super close to anything so ensure that you have your food and other staples with you before making the trek to the house (20 - 25 minutes to grocery stores). Everyone that we met was so kind and helpful! Definitely a great example of southern hospitality.
The listing is very deceptive, when we walked in there were cobwebs and stuff covering the floor. We had to sweep just to walk without shoes. When we went to take a shower upstairs it smelled like the inside of a barn, they also have an ant problem and it happens to be over that shower. When we couldnât get into the first gate, it took 3 plus hours to get a response from the host. The only good thing about the property is the closeness to the creek. I wish the best of luck to anyone trying to stay here in the future and hope the hosts do a better job with proper upkeep.
My family enjoyed this property immensely. A secluded cabin in the woods but with all the comforts of home made everyone happy. My husband enjoyed fishing in the river while the kid explored the shoreline and rock hunted. We made outdoor campfires and sâmores, and snuggled up by the indoor fireplace with books. Be aware it is a long driveway, so any plans out and about take a bit longer. The Food Lion in Millers Creek is about a 20 minute drive.
Our family had an awesome time down by the river. The cabin was very clean. An excellent place to connect with nature. Will definitely go back next summer.
Great cabin! Great peaceful, isolated location with wonderful scenery! Only negative is driveway is rough, especially since we didnât have âmountain vehicleâ.
Loved this property! Definitely plan on going back. The river is amazing. Super private and secluded. Shared the cabin with a few harmless bugs (moths and such) because it is solidly in the forest, but they never bit or were much of a bother. Great amenities and easy directions!
The location is great! We were right next to the creek and got to walk along side and wade in the cool water. The inside was very nice and cozy so my friends and I were able to relax. The kitchen was very nice. Overall we had a very nice stay and would highly recommend this place! Just an fyi, the bedrooms on the upper floor donât have doors, but they worked just fine for us.
We loved the creek in the back of the property. Our grandkids were able to play in it everyday and swim in the swimming hole. Lots of bugs, because you are surrounded by beautiful woods. The driveway is good, but treacherous if you are coming in late at night. It truly was a beautiful location to get away from it all.
This place is beautiful, quiet and relaxing.
The creek is next to the cabin, itâs amazing.
The cabin is great, perfect for a small family.
Itâs not really clean but there are a lot of cleaning supplies and tools to clean it up.
We will definitely go back.
We had such an awesome week! It was everything we hoped it would be! The cabin is a good 8-10 minute drive from the road (the first gate) to the 2nd gate so take that time into consideration when venturing out because GPS doesn't factor it in. Our kids had a ball catching (and releasing) trout, creek walking, and just being lazy in the cabin. We also saw a family of wild turkey on the drive down from the house. Highly recommend and hope to enjoy this cabin again some time.
We had a wonderful time refreshing in the woods. The road in is treacherous but well maintained and the cabin is lovely. We went for numerous walks on the property, spent a cozy day inside while Hurricane Debby whipped through and went for a beautiful hike at Rendezvous Mountain State Park. We loved hearing and playing in the river and found a bunch of critters during our stay. I wish there were actual hiking trails on the property, we just walked the roads because we didn't see any but it was still a great escape and not too far from town if you need something. Thanks for sharing your cabin with us!
Overall the cabin was good. The location couldn't have been better for us. Really felt tucked away and the sound of the river and small waterfall was wonderful. Lots of time spent on deck reading and listening to the water. Did catch a couple trout which we ate for dinner final night. And no cell service was actually a real blessing. Just make sure to screen shot the check in procedures and you wont have a problem. Again overall a great experience.
We really enjoyed the stay at this house. I was a little worried after reading all previous comments, but we really liked it and most likely be back! It is very isolated, quiet, you can't hear a thing but the creek and birds. Owners were very nice and reaponded quickly to all my questions.
Someone in previous comments recommended to screenshot directions, that was really helpful and the signs along the way are super easy to follow.
We walked up the creek in the water which was fun!
The house was clean enough and had everytying we needed. One thing I would recommend to have in the house is something to deal with the fire and logs in firepit. Maybe a big stick or shovel would be helpful.
A note for future visitors is that there is no firewood provided, so you have to get your own.
Overall it was a fun and nice stay. Definitely we would do it again! Thank you!
WE love your set up, however several are prettified of spiders in house, mice droppings and bug on bedspreads. The creek was awesome and the fire pit, however the multitude of insects/bugs was somewhat overwhelming. I think you are good hosts, however the cleaning is subpar for new guests and first time impression. The mice droppings were in kitchen drawers, which made a difficult comfort zone for eating.
Thank you for the stay, however we did not have a great first impression.
Sincerely,

I really enjoyed my stay here. It's in a beautiful area and the cabin is well equipped, including an adequate internet connection. I hadn't planned on working during my time there, but had a work emergency and was able to video conference without issue.
The stream nearby has some lovely pools and I caught several nice sized brown and brook trout out of it.
This is in no way a reflection on the property, but something to note if fishing is a primary reason for your visit. I am from out of state and was not aware of the significant trough fishing regulations in NC. I was not able to fish in several off-property areas I had planned to due to the time of year. If fishing is a primary reason drawing you to the area, be sure to check the regulations before booking. I would have booked at a different time had I known.
We are a family of four. This spot is one of our favorite vacation places because when we are here, we are united and nothing interferes with that good old-fashioned family togetherness.
When we first saw this cabin and its surroundings we were stunned by the beauty and magnificence there. It looked like something you would only see in a painting. It is truly a hidden paradise that we have found.
The energetic river is very soothing to gaze at and to listen to. The motion of the river seems to relax the mind, body, and soul. Truly a unique part of staying at our cabin.
