About this cabin rental

This cabin is a paddlers dream. Nestled in between 2 of the major Rapids in Sylva NC, it is also a fisherman's dream. Cast off of the front porch into the trout stocked Tuck. River. Also a great area for sight seeing and relaxation! Internet access... We have the only 2 riverfront cabins that are minutes from many attractions but still have managed to keep the remote feeling!

We offer the perfect vacation getaway to take pleasure in all 4-season activities and experiences that North Carolina boasts. Laurel Bush provides a unique experience for guests to connect with and enjoy the pristine, natural elements of the Great Smoky Mountains and the peaceful Tuckasegee River.

Whether you want to relax or play and escape into nature, Laurel Bush is the spirit of what every vacation should be. The onsite large covered pavilion is conveniently located close to the cabins for picnics, socializing or relaxation. You can enjoy sitting on the deck listening and watching the river go by or sit at the fire pit on a cool evening while looking across the river at the original train wreckage from the movie starring Harrison Ford, “The Fugitive!"

Within a 50 mile radius there are many miles of hiking/biking trails (including the Appalachain Trail), whitewater rafting/canoeing/kayaking/tubing, waterfalls, swimming, fishing, the Cherokee Indian Reservation, Great Smoky Mountain Railway, Harrah’s Cherokee Casino and Hotel, Gatlinburg, TN, The Biltmore Estate, Cataloochee Ski area and much, much more.

Great place to stay. Only thing I could say negative was the road into the property was very ruff. They scrapped it the day we left though.

Very peaceful cabin on the river with amazing huge deck. Could use some updating on the inside and improved wifi, but it was a very relaxing stay.

Great location. Beautiful river. The next part is just what we experienced but would not keep us from renting this cabin again. We really enjoyed our time there. Cabin should have been cleaned better and needs a screen door and rugs replaced. Unexpected smell from the cabin water supply suggests well water. We just weren't expecting that but it was fine. Might add a couple more cooking/baking pans and kitchen items. With the few downsides listed above we had a great stay and would definitely book this cabin again. Sitting on the deck and watching and wading the river made all our troubles drift away. Thank you for having this sweet little place.

We found this place to be an ideal location could not be any better right on the river convenient drive to Dillsboro, Sylva and other towns near by and rafting, canoeing, Great choice of stores, restaurant's breweries. As for the cabin was very clean an loved the back porch, Our only complaint would be that it is quite dated and could use some TLC drapes, bedding furniture, But all and all we had a very nice stay and is doggie friendly,

Cabin is clean and we needed nothing suring our atay. The deck is a lovely location to watch the river and wildlife. The picnic table and extra chairs on the deck make it a very nice stay. The cabins here are close together and there was a group of noisy guests beside us for a couple of days. The management of the property was extremely communicative. Great overall for a short vacation.

Nice property. Very rustic cabin with small kitchenette and small bathroom. The deck was the highlight! Wifi was shared with other cabins and signal wasn't the greatest!

Great place to get away for a few days and Relax!! Wish we had more time to stay! Futon in the living room is very comfy for sleeping. Only down side was the organization of the pots and pans under the sink. When I got out a plastic container for some leftovers....there was already some old pizza in that one container ...no worries I threw it out! Yuck!

Enjoyed the cabin and having access to the river. I wanted a quiet place to enjoy nature’s sound but there was a cabin next to ours was rented for a kids birthday party and some adults smoked cigarettes so I didn’t care that smell.

We loved our stay. We rented side by side cabins for a family getaway. We relaxed by the river and fished for trout catching enough for supper. We saw otters swimming and a hawk flying over. The cabins were cozy and inviting ! It was our second time visiting and will not be our last!

This little cabin was super cute. It was clean and smelled nice - meaning no perfumy scents and no bad odors. For someone like me who has issues with scents I was so grateful for that. We went during bad weather, so did not get to enjoy it to its full potential, but it was still nice and relaxing with the him of the water rushing by. We saw some very brave wildwater kayakers, the ducks, otters, and there was a sweet lonesome duck that hung around the cabin most of the time. We took our dog, but the listing has now been changed to show no pets. I can see why, their doors had scratches from pets who had clearly been left unattended - this is sad to see, especially for folks who take such great care in maintaining their cabins. Our one issue was that we wished there would have been a couple extra blankets. The two provided were very thin, sheet like quilts, and my son (who normally sleeps very warm) told me that he was cold all night. So take extra blankets!

This is the perfect place to get away from the city and relax. Listening to the river just outside the cabin while sitting by the fire is a great way to start or end the day. The cabin is very spacious and clean. This cabin goes about and beyond. I would definitely recommend!

This was our best vacation! The description of the property was in point. The location was perfect, not too far from the city but far enough to only hear the flowing river and the birds. We will definitely be back again with the whole family to experience summer on the river.

this was a great place to relax and unwind next to the river, and close to pretty much everything you would want to do. Property was very comfortable, and we would definitely recommend to others and we would certainly stay here again on future trips.

Ive rented from Tavish and Jason before. Theyre extremely accommodating, and I love the cabins. Ill be back every year. The Tuk is a special place, and the cab back are only about twenty miles from Nantahala Outdoor Center.In fact, NOC puts rafts and kayaks in on the Tuk just two miles away.
