A lovely location - you will like it, but a few small issues
This was our second time staying here. First time we were in the lower apartments. This time we rented the second and third floor. Four adults. The property is just wonderful, right on the Roaring River. One night there was a lot of rain, and the river came up a lot and was really roaring! The facility is quite nice, but had a few issues: The place needs a good deep cleaning. Quite a bit of the plates and cups cracked and chipped. Several lamps had no light bulbs, and there were a number of burned out bulbs. Some of the lights just don't work at all, and a number of light switches don't do anything. The ceiling fan/light in the master blew the breaker when we turned it. The owner came with an electrician and reset the breaker so that the outlets in that room would work, but no fan and no light for our stay. The owner was quite responsive in replacing light bulbs and brought in the cleaning person to clean the dust and cobwebs and dead bugs from the master room. In the master, one screen was missing and one did not seal completely, so if windows opened, the hornets and bugs could come in. Other window screens ok. Nice to open the windows at night to go to sleep to the sound of the river. Some rugs and carpet pretty worn out. There is a really nice fireplace area outside to sit around in the evening, but needs quite a bit of TLC. There is a hot tub, which we did not use, but did so last time, and it was quite nice. There is a restaurant on the property

Beautiful setting on the river
Nice accommodations overlooking the Roaring River and next to the winery. Close to the venue where the wedding we were attending was held. Comfortable bed and for the most part quiet.

Great house with plenty of room and well-appointed kitchen. Highlight is the huge porch overlooking the river. We spent most of our time on the porch, dining outside or enjoying the comfortable outdoor couch and chairs. Convenient location for visiting Stone Mountain and local wineries.

We enjoyed the river view. We kept a few windows open at night and the river flow was like a sound machine that helped us sleep. Chez Josephine's Cheeseburger and Salad were both delicious!

Fantastic Place in the NC Foothills!
The Roaring River Vineyards facility was first class in all aspects. Our family enjoyed four days in the Cedar condominium. All aspects of the stay were excellent in many ways. The facilities available were easy to access and complete as advertised. The owners were amazing in their response to all our requests and needs. It was a truly pleasurable experience!

Roaring River Vineyard was lovely.
We had a nice stay despite the lack cleanliness. The lodge needed a deep clean. It was very dusty, with dust caked on wall decor. Several of us sneezed all weekend. Also, we found dirty utensils in the draw & on cookware. The toaster oven was not clean & unusable, The owner states in the check out instruction that “they may not do a walk through” to insure cleanliness for the next guest. That must have been the case on our stay, especially with Covid we were appalled. . If I had known this was the policy of this facility. I would not have stayed there.

What a blessing this property was for a weekend get away. We wished we had a week or more to truly take advantage of everything offered. Loved the peaceful mornings on the deck and great evenings at the winery. Very comfortable place with everything you need and more. Can’t wait to return!

A beautiful property on the river!
The cedar unit was gorgeous and well stocked in a beautiful location with a huge deck overlooking the river. ( We had most meals outside) Check in was super easy as well. The only negatives were: the master bedroom is in the loft (along with the 4th bedroom) and doesn’t have much privacy as it overlooks the living room. And the dishwasher didn’t really seem to clean the dishes well.

Escape from reality
Such a great place to escape reality! Once we arrived, we went straight to the winery where we were greeted with warm cider wine and a roaring fire. It’s so nice to have the restaurant on site so you don’t have to worry about cooking if you don’t want to. I highly recommend the salmon! The scenery is beautiful! We fell asleep listening to the River. Thank you for an amazing weekend!!!

Amazing Birthday Weekend with Friends and Family!
My wife and I celebrated our birthdays at the Roaring River Vineyards, and we could not be more grateful for Josephine and Thomas and their staff. We reserved the Cedar, Aspen, and Birch units, and were joined by our friends and family for an unforgettable weekend. The lodgings and amenities were perfect, and our large party never once felt crowded. Throughout the entire process, from reservation to check out, we were made to feel as though we were the most important guests. I had the pleasure of speaking with Josephine prior to arriving at the vineyard, and I truly believe she was just as excited as we were for our stay. Thomas met my wife and I when we arrived, and despite the late hour, he happily gave us a personal tour of the property. The grounds were completely opened to our party, and Josephine and Thomas did an amazing job of ensuring that we could explore and enjoy all they had to offer. We could not have asked for a better way to celebrate with friends and family, and we all agreed that we will be returning to do this again!

Perfect vacation getaway!
This is a beautiful property, very peaceful with plenty of room on the beautiful Roaring River. We went swimming in the river and hiking at the nearby Stone Mountain State Park. The property owned restaurant is delicious with delicious wine from the owners' vineyard. We loved this property and would definitely recommend it.

Mens retreat
"Dear Josephine and Tom We had a very good time staying with you last weekend. The Cedar Unit was fantastic, sitting on the deck overlooking the river and grilling out both nights. Perfection. The new (to us) winery and restaurant were really a good way to spend out afternoons after fishing. The Draft and Calamari were very good. We all caught several nice trout right below the porch. During the heat a quick swim in the river was very well received. Thank you for hosting such a nice retreat. Regards Bill Crites Columbia, SC"
