I came upon this place after foot trouble forced me to bail out of a hike of the Greenbrier River Trail. Of all the places to bail, I couldn't have been luckier than the town of Seebert and this rental. Owner Ed was kind enough to give me a ride from Jack Horner's Corner, across the river, to the rental. (Jack Horner's Corner runs a trail shuttle service, and the store staff/owners are also very nice.)
Ed and Jonelle are very friendly and gracious owners: available, but unintrusive. They also have a big, friendly but also not intrusive dog on the property that you might be able to pet.
The quarters themselves are great. They're attached to the Lowes' house, but are separated, and might as well form their own small building. They're very clean, bright and cozy, with plenty of comfortable furniture, linens and kitchen appliances. You can see the river out of a big picture window in the living room, but the place also stayed very cool near the end of July. If you only brought food and clothes, you'd still have a very comfortable stay here. The Greenbrier River Trail and Watoga State Park are obviously very close by, but if you need or want to spend time inside, there's plenty of entertainment: books, games and abundant satellite TV in two rooms.
Sitting in the skeeter hut overlooking the river is a very relaxing experience. The lawn, fire ring and river access also looked inviting but I didn't take advantage of them the one night I stayed.
Bottom line is: the rental and the owners are awesome. I recommend this place highly, and I myself can't wait to come back in better walking condition!
