About this cabin rental

RIVERFRONT RETREAT WITH HOT TUB ON THE NANTAHALA RIVER.

This home away from home is one of the few privately owned properties in the Nantahala Gorge just outside the National Forest. Our mountain retreat sleeps six guests comfortably with two bedrooms with a primary bathroom attached to the main bedroom and a guest bathroom. Outside HOT TUB. The kitchen and living room areas are open and spacious. It is like living in a tree house with a view of the river. If you are looking for the most unique location in one of the most beautiful river settings you will ever
find, this place is for you.

Lots of things to do at our River House Retreat. Fish from the bank, watch the rafters and boaters float by. Enjoy the night sky and river at night by the fire pit and relax with a cool beverage by the river. If that is not enough excitement, how about a white water raft ride down the Nantahala River, and stop off at your own private retreat for a half way break or just relax on the covered porch and watch the river pass by. The property address is 14540 Highway 19 Bryson City NC.

Fantastic place for the river enthusiast and lovers of the great outdoors. House caters to those who love to sit and watch the river go by rain or shine. We enjoyed the outdoor space for hanging hammocks and playing corn hole. The host communicated promptly and addressed any issues. This was our third visit to this property and will not be our last

House is dated but its clean, beds were great. The hot tub kept losing water so it didn't want to stay hot unless people got in to get the water level high enough, my guess is because some of the jets would sometimes start shooting water out of the tub. The river and views were great. would loved to have used the fire pit but it was raining.

We absolutely loved our stay on the river in this cabin, with the hot tub 20 ft from the river and the fire pit right on the river's edge. It is rustic outside, but comfortable inside, especially the king-sized bed. The reason for our visit to Bryson City was to ride the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad, and we had the added benefit of waving to the train as it passed by 4 times a day. We had a few challenges, in that there are no accommodations like grab bars in either bathroom. The stairs are sturdy to get up to the cabin, but there's a big step from the ground to the first platform, and nothing easy to grab onto. For many, it isn't a problem, I'm sure, but some consideration needs to be given with those who have a few limitations. We'd stay again, just for the location, but it's good to have the potential problems known when making a choice.

The house was just as it is advertised. Everything we needed to have a wonderful stay. We enjoyed this covered porch, hot tub, and fire pit. My husband and son fished before the dam released each morning. We saw an otter early one morning on the opposite bank. We rafted with the NOC, hiked the Deep Creek Trail, and floated on the Fingerlake. So much fun! Too short of a trip! We also ate at 4Queens Mexican Grill in Bryson City. It was delicious!!

My family & I visited in Mid October for the weekend. We had booked the Nantahala Gorge Excursion for my birthday. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and drinking coffee in the morning while listening to the river. In the evenings, on the river bank, we sat around a cozy little fire after relaxing in the hot tub. The owner was very responsive and friendly. We had a great stay and will book again.

The house was nice. The hot tub was awesome. Couldn’t use the fire pit because there was nothing there to light it with. There was no outside lights on the stair side to see how to get in. Checked every light switch I could find but they didn’t work the outside floodlights. The ice maker in the refrigerator never made any ice. We was suppose to wash up the dishes we used but there was no dish soap had to go get some. Loved the location on the river it was great and so was the view. Enjoyed our stay even with the minor problems.

We had an awesome time exploring Bryson city and gazing at the beautiful Nantahala. The cabin is very clean and perfectly cozy. The views of the full moon over the river were breathtaking and the sun on the water in the morning was so peaceful. Would’ve liked having a dishwasher but we didn’t cook during our two night stay and used paper plates to keep the mess low. We also loved the really nice hot tub with views of the water. We will definitely be back.

The location is right on the river and surrounded by beauty. It's a nice home with comfy beds. Some things I expect were not right. No Wi-Fi connection for our cell phones. Missing lights over the mirrors in both bathrooms, exterior lights not working, VERY limited kitchen/cooking items that are common in rentals. No dishsoap, no soap for showers, no light in fridge, no seasonings, no coffee fixings. Would only recommend if you plan to buy EVERYTHING at the grocery store yourself.

This house has an amazing porch view and great location. It has the essentials for a camp and the hot tub was great. It could use a little more attention to detail. There were spiderwebs throughout the house, multiple lights were out, both toilet paper dispensers were broken and linens were kind of limited. The location to NOC and BC we’re great and being right on the river was nice. It worked for our short stay.

We enjoyed our stay in this cute home by the river! Location was perfect and just as described. Only downfall was having to take your trash with you when you leave, which is fine, but would have been nice to have a little more information on where we could take it vs driving home for 3 hours with smelly trash in the car.

Perfect for NOC related outdoor activities!

Perfect for NOC related outdoor activities!

We rented this property due to its proximity to NOC as our 11 year old attended kayak camp for the week. It was an easy drive to drop-off each morning. The rest of us arranged for other activities out of NOC- rafting, kayaking, ropes course- and then we easily reconvened at NOC in the afternoon. We really enjoyed our stay! The nanatahala river is a magical place (cold too!). Would be great to have stairs off the back deck.

Girls trip…with a few bumps

Although we had a bumpy start, and further bumps along the way, which included some weary but frayed nerves, overall we had a good time. The property manager and owner made things right that had gone astray…all because of a miscommunication basically. We appreciate the prompt attention to the problems we encountered, which were not too major. The location was lovely and relaxing, and we had most everything we needed at our disposal. Thank you for a lovely time.

Perfect get-away!

Perfect get-away!

First of all, this property was clean! I mean baseboards-behind-the-toilet kind of clean! We only slept in the king bed, but it was super comfortable. The location is convenient if you want to hit the Nanatahala Outdoor center area to raft (or just watch) or grab a bite to eat. We came to relax and to trout fish. I enjoyed morning coffee by the river where I saw ducks, an otter, a groundhog, and numerous little birds flitting around. Once the river rose (it is dam-controlled) we watched the rafters and kayakers paddle down while we fished. I could tell they were all jealous of our great location as they floated by! When we got tired, we relaxed in our hammocks hung under the house. There's a firepit right by the water and we grilled burgers and steaks on the fire for dinner (there is also a nice gas grill on the deck, but we figured we'd make use out of the firepit while we fished). Once the sun went down, we relaxed on the porch with a glass of wine while we listened to the river. The hot tub is right at the edge of the river, too, and was also a nice spot to unwind and listen to the river. We ventured out to explore once or twice and there's so much to do nearby. We found some public-access fishing areas (thanks to a tip from the property manager) and while we didn't have the best of fishing luck, the scenery was worth the trip. We saw turkey and deer upstream from the house. I can't say enough about this place! We found the house to have everything we needed for our stay. We are already talking about a trip again in the fall. This place is ideal for those that want to experience the river, whether you are coming for the whitewater experience or to fish, or to just relax and listen to the water.

Great location for Hiking and Rafting

Great location for Hiking and Rafting

This location was a perfect location for meeting my son and friends that were hiking the AP trail. The house is just a few minutes from the NOC outdoor center where the AP crosses the Nantahala River. There are several car parking areas nearby to gain trail access for day hiking the AP trail. I was able to meet my son and friends several times at GAP parking lots within 1 hour driving time from this location. Great rafting and trout fishing nearby this location.
