EXCELLENTBased on 10 reviewsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Anthony Raynor2024-07-07So far, so good. It is a newer, very well done tiny home community on the water. I would guess we are one of the first few people to stay in this unit. It is an excellent shape, tastefully decorated. Roomy and comfortable. A very nice porch looking down on the river. Well appointed. The only negative would be the road behind the units by the parking lot with associated traffic noise. If your goal is to sleep in late everyday this may not be the best place for you. During the course of the day it is fine. Would add a couple more chairs on the deck, otherwise appears to be a great deal. Seems to be one parking space per unit. We stayed in trout which has two and I think I saw one GUEST space.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.David Bissette2024-06-22Comfy, cozy, tiny, by the riverside. Our location, Fox, was immaculate. We would stay here again!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Jessica Ocasio2024-06-04I recently stayed in the Bear unit at Rivers Rest and I cannot say enough great things! The unit itself is very clean and surprisingly spacious even though it is a tiny home. Another great feature of the property is the common area that includes a TV, BBQ, firepit, and ample seating. The property is also very close to Downtown Bryson which has cute shops, eats/ drinks, and the historic train. I loved waking up each morning and having my coffee on the patio next to the Tuckasegee river. I highly recommend and will definitely be back for future stays.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.melinda Griffin2024-05-28AMAZING!!! My family of 5 stayed in the Trout Tiny home which accommodated us very comfortably! All the necessary amenities within the cabin (including washer and dryer!) with great outdoor spaces on-site to enjoy. The river , which is right outside your patio, created a very relaxing ambiance and the city is close by with many food and entertainment options to pick from. Would highly recommend as a unique and upscale vacation experience for couples and families to enjoy!!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Melissa Reynolds2024-05-27Wonderful experience at Rivers Rest!

A tiny home away from home, very spacious. We rented the train unit, it accommodates 6 people. The silo has a wonderful seating area with a fire pit for roasting marshmallows or warming up when it’s cold, and a TV for a fun group gathering/movie night.
