About this house rental
Due to the last hurricane, the road washed out. The alternate route results in over an hour trip into Franklin, NC. If you’re looking for a unique experience, this is it! The adventure lover’s dream and such a magical place! This is a very unique and charming property It sits on over 3 acres overlooking the river and has about 300’ of river frontage. Plus, the view is gorgeous overlooking mountains. It also backs up to National Forest! After a day of adventure, cozy up by the gas push button fireplace or relax on the covered deck overlooking the river.
Pictures don’t do the cabin justice. The cabin is completely made out of recycled wood from old properties. It’s all in the details from the farm sink to the push button gas fireplace... you can’t ask for a better location and cabin. Plus there’s privacy galore since you’re on 3 acres and back up to forest. And over 3,000 feet elevation. Note there is no cell service here. We do have WiFi. With WiFi calling turned on, you’re able to make cell calls through the WiFi and send and receive texts.
You do have to cross a river on a paved road or low water bridge that is usually 6” to 1 ft deep so a crossover, jeep, suv, or truck is needed. A small car will not be adequate.
The master is located downstairs with a queen bed. The upstairs bedroom is a lkft style. It has three single beds and two double beds to sleep a total of 9 people. The master bath has a shower and the guest bath has a bathtub. Floating is fun if you tie a rope to a tree and just sit in the river in a tube. I recomend water shoes as the river rock can be rough on the feet. Its also fun to bring side by sides, motorcycles, and 4 wheelers to ride the roads inside the neighborhood.

We had a girl group that stayed for 6 nights. We loved the view and the river. There was a lovely little fairy glen on the river that was absolutely wonderful. The porches were a great place for sitting any time. We enjoyed trips to Jackrabbit Mountain, Lake Chatuge, Wayah Bald, Rufus Morgan Falls and some other locations. It was a wonderful trip. The cabin has everything that you need.

Beautiful, Quiet and relaxing
Cabin and property are beautiful and well cared for. View overlooking the river is great. Thousands of acres of National Forest literally out the back door. Very relaxing and peaceful spot. Host was extremely helpful as well.

Through the river
Cabin was really nice! Pictures don’t do it justice. In the description, it says that you need a truck or SUV to reach property… you definitely need a truck or a lifted vehicle Bc you have to cross a river. Other than that, we loved it!

Personality + comfort cabin
Very peaceful cabin! Loved everything but the large river crossing, but I'm sure that's mountain life, it is different for me.
I would recommend this cabin to others.
