River Rock Cabin, Game Room, 12 mins. to Downtown
About this cabin rental
Welcome to your sanctuary on the Swannanoa River! River Rock Cabin has been designed with attention to every detail to make your vacation experience a feast for the senses. A true mountain cabin, with luxury amenities and a magical river backdrop! The Space Take in amazing river views from the main level King bedroom and living room, and on the outdoor wrap-around deck complete with large propane grill and seating for lounging and dining. In the lower level game room (access through stairway in King bedroom) you'll find a 65" TV, a large sectional, a pool table, a shuffleboard table and a dartboard. There's also a nice open area here perfect for yoga or exercise, just steps from the river. Open the two electric garage doors and enjoy the main fire pit or shoot a game of pool while the sounds of the river transform you. Explore the cabin gardens...there are several tree-trunk carvings of native birds and animals scattered throughout, as well as three fire pits and an open area perfect for frisbee. You'll be on a private street, with ample parking in the large gravel driveway; keyless entry. I live here on the beautiful Swannanoa River as well. I'm delighted to say hi and chat if you see me walking my dog or throwing sticks in the yard. Otherwise, you'll have complete privacy but know that I'm just next door if you need anything at all.

This was one of the cleanest and well-stocked VRBO locations we've stayed at. I expect others will recognize VRBO locations that feel a bit dingy or dirty when you arrive, or where the owners have skimped on basic amenities (I'm looking at you, "one roll of hotel toilet paper per bathroom" locations!).
This couldn't have been further from the truth with this rental. The cabin was very clean and very well stocked with basic amenities needed for the stay, from dish and hand soap to logs for the indoor stove.
The owner, Lyn, was also incredibly helpful. Due to some very strong winds that blew through the area during our stay, we lost internet for the better part of a day (thanks Spectrum). We also lost power around 11 pm one night (which Duke Energy thankfully restored within an hour).
Lyn was giving constant updates throughout the outages, and recommended a really nice coffee shop (Filo Pastries) for internet access we needed while the outage was ongoing.
We'd definitely stay here again.

My husband and I along with our two teenage grandsons spent a glorious Thanksgiving holiday at this property. It is everything that the pictures portray and more. We enjoyed the environs and the cozy cabin which had a well appointed kitchen with plenty of service items. We had only one small request for the host which was fulfilled in under 10 minutes. The game room was almost continually occupied by our teens while we were at the cabin. I had looked at this property many times and only wished I had rented it before on one of our previous trips to Asheville. Don't hesitate to book. Not only does it provide a feeling of seclusion, but you are within easy traveling distance to the restaurants in Asheville and Black Mountain, as well as well positioned to visit other hiking places in the area.

This is our second stay. It is absolutely beautiful with everything that one would need for a perfect vacation. Lyn, our host, greeted us shortly after arrival to ensure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this cabin for anyone who enjoys the sounds of a mountain river, a comfortable cabin, a fire, an outdoor fire pit, and so many other wonderful amenities.

This property is so amazing. The view, the porch, the house, the wood carvings, the art, the owner were all so spectacular! I took my daughter and her 2 besties to visit Biltmore for her 16th birthday and we could not have found a better place for us to stay!!! They had so much fun in the creek, the game room, and just walking the property. We saw more beautiful things everytime we looked around. I cannot

Lovely base from which to explore Asheville, the Blue Ridge Parkway and surrounds. Beautiful setting, very well equipped property with loads of character. Lyn’s years’ experience with his holiday rental shows - fully focused on the right things and helpful level of interaction. Would definitely stay again.
5.0
Spectacular location, beautiful accomodations with many artistic flourishes inside and out. Literally, about 15 minutes from almost anything one would want to see in Asheville, and within an hour in any direction of the great outdoors visible from Asheville. Host was very welcoming and helpful. A special spot that earns repeat visitors. Can't go wrong unless you'd prefer not to feel spoiled.

No complaints whatsoever. A beautiful location, everything in the house was in perfect condition, and the host was incredibly kind and helpful. If I ever come back to this area, i will absolutely be booking this place again. Also telling all my friends and family to go here if they're ever in Asheville. Highly highly recommend.

Comfortable, well-stocked cabin in a quiet neighborhood. We especially enjoyed a glass of wine on the deck and at the fire pits along the river. The eclectic art was a real treat, and we kept discovering new pieces as the weekend went on. We didn’t cook, but if we had, we would have had everything we needed! We will be back!

This house and location is just a little slice of heaven. The property was absolutely stunningly beautiful. We enjoyed it immensely and will be back.

The house was very nice. In a neighborhood of close by homes. Close to neighborhood main road.
Great game room in lower level.
Wish they had a king sized bed, but that would be my only change.lovely view of river. Beautifully landscaped with bamboo and local plantings.
State park close by for fishing.
It wasn’t quite remote enough for us, but we highly recommend this for a well located home with a backyard that makes you feel like you are in the wilderness.

Can't say enough good things about this location.

This is the second time we have rented this fabulous retreat ! The inside is really nice but the outside is spectacular. Sitting on the deck listening to the stream below or have a fire in the fire pit under the stars. So relaxing. We will be back again.

The first of many planned stays at this sanctuary. We had an incredible time. Only 15 minutes from downtown, the Biltmore, and historic areas. The river is beautiful and the house is well stocked with everything you need. Lyn is so kind and provides the perfect balance of friendliness, safety, and privacy. We loved it.

My husband and I have stayed in many VRBO houses through the years and this cabin was the best rental we have ever had. Clean, beautifully decorated with lots of artwork and funky treasures inside and out, porch which overhangs the babbling river (best sleep listening to nature’s music), game room was awesome and Lyn, the owner, was lovely and very helpful. Absolutely everything you would need is already waiting for you. Can’t wait to return! Tacy and Brooks

We had a wonderful stay at this property.
I cannot say enough about the house and the property. Hanging out on the deck overlooking the river and walking down to the river was so peaceful and relaxing. We enjoyed watching the geese, ducks, and hawks that visited the river We also enjoyed roasting marshmallows for s'mores at the fire pit.
The house is so nice and the artwork is amazing and eclectic. I loved the style. We also really enjoyed the game room. My son loved the shuffle board table, pool, and the dart board. Kitchen is very well equipped. We ate in every meal, and the grocery store is only about 5 minutes away.
The property is very close to Asheville, but tucked away in a neighborhood that makes it feel secluded.
The owner was very nice and helpful.
We hope to stay here again. Again, wonderful place.

This house was perfect for us! We enjoyed the game room and the opportunity to be near the river whether inside or outside. We ate dinner on the deck one night and around the fire pit on another night. The location was great, close to Asheville, but in a quiet neighborhood.

This property is absolutely stunning! The pictures do not to it justice. There are so many beautiful details to the outside and inside this place. We enjoyed the views on the deck and multiple fire pits on the property while having some fun in the new game room located in the basement. I would 10-10 recommend this place. It was also 10-15min away from downtown Asheville. Lyn was a great host and we can't wait to come back!

Truly an amazing property. The house, landscaping, fire pits galore, the river, all of it truly amazing. The location is absolutely perfect as well. 15 minutes to anywhere in downtown Asheville and 15 minutes to Black Mountain. We couldn't have been more pleased. We will return again. Thank you Lyn for sharing this magnificent sanctuary with us.
