French Broad Chalet
Bed was very uncomfortable. A lot of traffic, especially early morning. Lots of spiders, ants & cobwebs. Mini split heat wasn’t working until our last day; the night before that, , we heard the generator kicked and we thought that was why it finally started. Weird though, bc we didn’t lose power while we were there. Went to relax and sleep in a few mornings and that didn’t happen.

Great Experience!
The communication and directions were excellent. Upon arrival, everything was perfect! Description exactly matched what we found it to be. We loved looking out at the small creek bed out the bathroom window- that was perfect and could be relected in the pics. We were told limited or no internet but once we read the book we easily made connection- so perhaps update that piece of information. The place was clean and inviting. The porch was exactly what we were looking for overlooking the river. I will definitely rent here again...Thank you!

Convenient and Great View
The place itself is really nice inside and the front porch has beautiful view. The road in front of the place can be noisy so no sleeping in! But proximity to fishing hiking, and the wonderful town of Marshall makes the place a great location. As well, the people working in Ingle's grocery are awesome and the store has everything!

Peaceful Paradise
An architectural wonder! Sunshine streaming through large windows, the river singing us awake, the smell of pine...all part of the package! We loved the solitude and absence of noise. I am an amputee with special mobility needs and equipment. The chalet provided a ramp for entrance, an accessible shower and toliet, wide spaces for maneuverability and furniture that was user friendly! This trip changed my outlook on travel possibilities. I CAN rejoin the active world and LOVE it! Whether it's quiet, romance or recharge you're looking for, the French Broad Chalet will not disappoint!

Stunning views, charming stay!
We were absolutely in love with this modern little chalet. My husband and I enjoyed a late honeymoon (we're a Covid marriage!) The views are absolutely gorgeous in this place. From being woken up by sunlight filtering through the green leaves into the huge windows in the bedroom, to the gorgeous view of the river from the porch we just couldn't get enough! We used the kitchen to make a meal and we had everything we needed. Nearby downtown Marshall was equally as charming with all kinds of cute shops and the most amazing food at the Star Diner. Would 100% recommend to anyone else, and we might even go again!

Short and Sweet
The house itself is great and the surround nature is beautiful. It was just me and my spouse so we did not need much - perfect for two people. Some recommendations or suggestions: The lawn care was done on our first night at 6:30 PM when we were sitting on the porch having dinner. We ended up having to come inside to eat due to the noise and dust generated from the mower. Perhaps have this done prior to check in or when the house is empty. We felt it unsafe to have the "RENT ME" sign displayed by the road - perhaps remove that when the property is in use. The area is very remote and the entire county would know already that we are from out of town renting the property without it even being so apparent. There was a bullet hole or rock hole in one of the windows - not all the way through both panes - that would have been repaired - again, just a feeling of it being unsafe. The chairs on the deck and the grill are chained together or to the house - is that really necessary? Again, just gave a feeling of the area being unsafe that the outside items needed to be chained for safe keeping. Two rolls of toilet paper, no tissues - this may be fine for some but in the event of an upset stomach - not sure that needs to be rationed. Landscaping appears to not have been touched yet this year - paying this much for a short term rental property, we would have expected the deck area be swept and landscaping to be maintained.

Very nice comfortable home. Location is great for a couple to getaway for the winter months and enjoy the outdoor / mountain life. Downfall was lack of cellphone service and no wifi. Water pressure was very low, but overall nice location and private. Would stay again

Beautiful home
We enjoyed the sound of the creek next to the house. The property was very clean and organized when we arrived. The kids enjoyed the guitar and the bear stool. Even though the property is a 1 bedroom and bath the abundance of windows make the house feel larger. Unfortunately, we had really poor cell phone coverage inside the house. This made it difficult to plan our activities with the lack of wifi. I would have preferred the fire pit area to be near the house and not on the other side of the street down by the river down a a very steep path. The deck overlooking the river needs to be pressure cleaned as the buildup of mildew on the wood made the surface slippery.
