Cottage in Cove City

Neuse River get-away to peaceful calm and paradise

My home is somewhat remote, located on a private unpaved road, AND directly on the water. It is extremely quiet and private. Has 2 zip lines, two rope swings, a boat ramp and 2 docks. You can hunt, fish, boat, jet ski or just enjoy the water and peaceful view. This is not a hotel room. Please care for it as you would your own home. The use of the porches, rope swings and zip line is at your own risk. The back deck does not have a railing for unobstructed views of the river. Great wifi too.
