RIVERFRONT Retreat with HOT TUB on Nantahala River

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.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a dining table.

This is the second time we have stayed at this property. Really like the location with the deck overlooking the river. The owner has been very responsive in a timely manner the couple of times we have had to communicate with him during trip. The inside bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen are clean.

We had a great time…. Beautiful area. Overall a good experience. Location is great. Firepit by the river is great. House is very clean (needs updated furniture). Porch is very nice too with a great view of the river, but it needs more outdoor furniture and also updated furniture. Kitchen is large and has all utensils. Parking is plentiful and easy to access.

Perfect river front Nantahala vacation

This home away from home had absolutely everything we needed for an absolutely perfect Nantahala vacation. We particularly enjoyed the porch, fire pit, fully equipped kitchen, comfy beds, and being able to stop and have lunch at “ our house “ while paddling the Nantahala. We can’t wait to return.

Great Location! The back porch and lower level on the Nantahala River were very fun. You could sit and watch rafts, duckies and kayaks go by all day. Check-in was very easy. Place need some upgrades. It was a blast back to 1980.

Fantastic location!! The porch and fire pit area are awesome. There are window a/c units in both bedrooms at opposite ends of the house. The living area was warm. Appliances are dated, but the location is outstanding . We loved having coffee in the mornings and a cocktail in the evenings on the porch or by the river.

Came into town to ride the polar express and make memories with the family and thought that i could do a little trout fishing from the bank while staying here. Unfortunately it rained and we didnt get the chance

Great setting.

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.

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.

4 day stay in May

Enjoyed the deck which was right on top of the river. Watched the kayakers and paddle boaters go by along with the GSMR train on the other side. House was very clean. Took me a minute to figure out the HDMI cable is shared between the Dish and DVD player. Might consider a small window shade in the bedroom with 2 queen beds. Owner was immediately responsive over text. Hope to go back again.

Repeat visitors

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

Family Fun Trip

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!!
