Craftsman Style River House sitting on the French Broad River!

NEW HOT TUB INSTALLED MARCH 2025!!!! Please come stay! We are open for guests and River Rd has been repaired. If you want something different you have found it! Constructed from reclaimed materials by the owner featuring two bedrooms and two full baths w/deluxe showers. We are located 6 miles (3 of the six miles are gravel) from the Appalachian Trail town of Hot Springs, NC and a 45 minute drive from Asheville NC.

Perfect for a relaxing get away and equally great for the outdoor enthusiast!
Sit on the porch and watch the River flow by! Build a campfire and roast some marshmallows, maybe even pitch a tent. Put on your hiking shoes and enjoy some of the many nearby trails.
The French Broad River works great for Kayaks, Canoes, Tubes and Rafts. Put in up river and get out right at your cabin!
We are told by local fishermen that we have one of the best fishing spots on the River! Also, just down the road is a Premier Trout Fishing Creek located in the "Paint Creek Corridor."
Close to Mtn. Bike Trails a world class Trout Fishing Stream, hiking or back packing.
This is a bird watchers paradise! You may catch a glimpse of the resident bald eagle that frequently circles overhead or hear the geese honking as they fly up and down the river in formation.

Pull out your bicycle and ride a 24 mile loop from Paint Creek to Hot Springs or a shorter 12 mile loop through Paint Creek Corridor and back.
One of the greatest features to enjoy is the large, beautiful wrap around porch (NOW WITH HOT TUB!) and the private upper veranda
On the main level you enter from covered car port into open concept, full kitchen/living dining area with table and room to sit at the bar.
Leather Sectional, wood beams and fireplace with stone profile and wood stove insert add to the cozy feel of the cabin.
The bedroom on main level has walk in closet and King Size Bed. Main level bathroom is large w/Washer & Dryer, large tile shower and exit to wrap around covered porch that is 750 sq feet and has multiple doors for entry/exit convenience.

Upstairs, the Master Suite w/King Size bed and en suite bathroom has french doors leading to a private covered veranda overlooking the river. Hear the sounds of the rushing river and bask in the afternoon sun in private.

We hope you can come enjoy the peace and tranquility of this beautiful spot surrounded by the Pisgah and Cherokee National Forest and the French Broad River! Note: Ring Camera installed on door where you enter on carport for added security.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Pictures don’t do it justice

This home is absolutely beautiful inside with comfortable furnishings and beautiful decor. And the porch…well that is where you will want to spend most of your time. The sound of the river flowing by is so peaceful and porch is so big you can enjoy sitting outside even if it’s pouring rain. The hot tub is very nice and easy to open and close, even with one person. Leann was wonderful and check in and out was a breeze. You can still see evidence of Helene, with clean up still being done in the area, but many places in town were starting to open. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Quiet time on the river

We thoroughly enjoyed the cabin, which is beautifully constructed with a rustic appearance and sits on the bank of the French Broad River. The cabin is perfectly designed and is cozy and comfortable. We loved the open kitchen, the wide covered porch and the sense of being remote without actually being in the middle of nowhere. We never left the cabin but instead enjoyed the peaceful space and the gorgeous view.

“Peace and Quiet” lives here

Our 80th VRBO / vacation rental and it was one of the most unique houses we’ve stayed in. Met the owners when we arrived 15 min early and upon entering the house I told them y’all need new photos! The ones on their listing isnot doing justice to this amazing property. It’s HUGE! Top of the line ! Everything you need for restful sleep, comfort, feeding yourselves. Well stocked kitchen. The porch and the river below is awesome…unfortunately the extreme heat that we’ve been experiencing where at home followed us and it was too hot to sit outside except early in the day. Communication was great with the owner and we had a great five days looking at mountains and enjoying a change of scenery. Thanks y’all!

This cabin along the river is truly a hidden gem! Quiet and private, right on the river. Only a 15 min drive to downtown Hot Springs and several hikes and bikes. Great stay for a family or a couple in a getaway. It exceeded my expectations!

Loved the house... very comfortable. We came up to fish but it rained so there was no fishing to be had, so we drove around and had lovely adventures. Definitely need all wheel or 4 wheel drive to get to house as several miles are a lovely gravel road right along the river.

Terrific!

What a perfect place to relax and enjoy the river and the beautiful mountain town of Hot Springs! The house is super clean and really beautiful. It's private but not isolated, right in the Pisgah Forest on the French Broad River. I visited with a friend and we each had a large, comfortable bedroom and bath. The kitchen is nicely equipped with everything we needed and the living area has good quality, comfy furniture. Best of all is the large porch and second story balcony on the river. A wedding venue across the river (and out of sight) happened to have great music on the weekend evenings that we could enjoy from the privacy of our zero gravity chairs watching the river flow by. We saw an amazing full moon, fireflies, lots of birds and bunnies and waded in the river to cool off. It would be a great place to tube or canoe.The little town of Hot Springs just 6 miles away is an interesting mixture of locals, tourists and through hikers from the AT and has a couple of good restaurants. Leann was a responsive and pleasant host. I would definitely return! Maybe next time for autumn leaves and the use of the great fireplace.
