Cute and Quaint..
We thoroughly enjoy Burnsville and this Mt. Mitchell hideaway had us excited! This property has so many pros,. 4 bedrooms, split set up, on the river, and minutes from Mt. Mitchell state park. The host was quick to respond to messages before our trip. There were a few cons, and that essentially was the cleanliness of the property. The downstairs outside had lots of cluttered junk, including broken glass, which could have been an issue with pets and a toddler. I think in general, the house itself (inside) needed a thorough cleaning. We purchased our own cleaning supplies and cleaned the showers and rewashed dishes due to caked on food. Would definitely stay here again if the property was cleaned up.

Fantastic mountain getaway
Loved being able to walk to the creek. The flower garden was very peaceful to watch the bees and spring flowers blooming. A magnificent waterfall is literally right down the street. There is a grill and plenty of space for hosting guests. We will definitely be back.

Great Getaway!
Wonderful place for a family vacation. Tha master suite is upstairs and away from main room, excellent for a brief escape. The kids stayed downstairs so we were able to put them to bed and continue visiting without disturbing them. The river is in view and also slightly audible in the master bedroom, which made for great sleeping. High quality and everything we could need. Owner reached out by phone shortly after we got there and was helpful and completely aaccessible during our stay.

Exceeded all expectations by our group of friends
Riverside Mountain Retreat exceeded all expectations by our group of friends who recently gathered here for a three-night getaway. The location on the South Toe River is perfect. The river is a short scamper away, and the sounds of the water are the perfect background when you are outside. And you will be outside once you see the wraparound porch that simply pulls you from the house. During the first day of our stay, it was 34 degrees and pouring rain, but folks kept migrating to the porch regardless. Inside, there is plently of room to spread out, three bathrooms, four bedrooms and other floor space if needed for a camping pad or cot, a great room area (living room and dining area) for gathering, a kitchen that was well equipped, including such amenities as enough trash bags, coffee filters, spices, sugar, and enough utentils and cooking gear to easily prep and feed 8 or more guests. The furniture was comfortable and functional. Towels and linens are furnished, and there were plently of extra blankets and covers for anyone needing another layer. Parking was ample and on a level driveway, and Brad was an attentive host who answered a couple of queries promptly and even called to update me about something. I suggest bringing your own camp chairs to set up under one of the covered outdoor porches or by the firepit near the river, but other than that this is truly one of those places that requires little of you other than your relaxation and conversation.

Did Not meet expectations
Left a lot to be desired. Not cleaned properly-wet towel behind the bed, heavy dust on window sills, blinds and light fixtures. Stains on carpets, downstairs shower doesn’t drain. Empty single serve wine box in bathroom vanity. Half consumed water bottle in living room. Woman’s hair tie in one bed. No light bulbs in master bedroom lamps. Grout in master shower desperately needs cleaning. Mouse droppings in oven drawer. Dog friendly yet dog found 2 plastic spoons and Lego’s under a bed that had to be taken from her mouth. Grill desperately needs cleaning-food still on it. We didn’t use it. Listing said sleeps 10 yet it really only sleeps 8. Location not quite as private as the listing suggests- neighbors closer than it appears.

Riverside Retreat/Reunion
We enjoyed being about an hour out from attractions to the North and South of us. Had a great firepit neside the river for smores. Deer drank from the river and caught it on camera. 1 AC unit made for an interesting cooling situation but thankfully the air temps were pleasant. Downstairs could use upgrade but overall great spot.

There were 8 of us and were very comfortable. The porch and the river were my special places. We had s’mores every night by the river which made them taste even better! I was only disappointed in the river. Of course the river can only be determined by nature!

Best mountain stay so far
The house was just what we needed. Perfect amount of space. Only a few minor things that needed some fixing (shower door handle loose ) but it’s an older house so not bad at all. Overall I gave it a 4 out of 5. Our family had a great time would definitely recommend or book again myself.

Away for Christmas
We all had a relaxing get a way. We played games, napped, took walks and ate. I was impressed with how STOCKED the kitchen was. The only thing I reached for and wasn't there was a rubber spatula. There was an isssue but Brad (the owner) was right on it. This is a great place to unwind and enjoy, I would love to go there in the summer. GREAT PLACE!
