My family of 12 rented Riversky for a week in August and we LOVED the place. It is spacious, new, lovingly decorated, stocked with everything you need and the best beds anywhere. The amenities are amazing with a pool table, poker table, lots of board games, several fireplaces, whirlpools inside, hot tub outside, lots of TVs, wireless, a kitchen large enough for several cooks, a large deck with large grill and great views of the French Broad River and mountains on three sides. There is also an outdoor pit where in the evenings we made smores and enjoyed the cool evenings. The house is laid out nicely with plenty of private space and enough rooms to give everyone what they want from quiet and away from it all or in the middle of activities.
I could go on and on about what a great house it is, just check out the website and it is everything pictured and described and more. Working with the owners is also a pleasure. They provided lots of information.
Riversky is located a few miles from the town of Marshall which although small has a couple of good restaurants, a modern large Ingles grocery store and some artsy types of places to frequent. Only a few miles from the town is horseback riding and white water rafting or floating. It's not far from the Blue Ridge Parkway and golf courses and Asheville is nearby. So there is plenty to do and plenty to look forward to for the next visit.
Although we will probably only stay at Riversky in the summer it would be an awesome place to stay any time of the year, and how fortunate for someone to be able to enjoy all the seasons at this super getaway.
Our five families came from Northern VA, Raleigh area and Texas and everyone loved the place and is looking forward to returning Summer of 2010. If I sound like I am overdoing it a bit, it is because this place deserves accolades.
