Be 'at E's' in rustic elegance as you take in the natural beauty and mountain culture of Western North Carolina. Enjoy the relaxing sounds of the Tuckasegee River just beyond the large, screened porch. This newly-built and delightfully-furnished cabin in a private community is centrally located in Jackson County offering easy access to many local attractions and communities. Inside your air-conditioned space, you'll find a soaring cathedral ceiling, a full, modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a table for six, and a comfortable living area with a gas fireplace (October to March), a flatscreen TV, a washer/dryer, and sliding door access out to the furnished deck. This large, screened deck offers a table and chairs for outdoor dining, cozy rockers, ceiling fans, and an additional flatscreen TV, all overlooking the river, while the riverside firepit is the perfect place to gather and watch the stars come out.

The new river-front game room features an 8-foot billiards table with optional table tennis conversion top, an electronic soft-tip dartboard, and flatscreen TV and music system. This added feature is rarely matched in similar short-term rentals, and perfect for when the weather causes a temporary change in plans or for winding down after a long day exploring the outdoors.

Enjoy hiking the nearby trails that lead out to spectacular vistas and beautiful waterfalls, fishing the WNC Fly Fishing Trail, or taking in events at Western Carolina University located less than two miles from your door. Discover several small mountain towns like Sylva, Dillsboro, Waynesville, Cashiers, Bryson City, and Cherokee, all within a short drive and all offering great, walkable downtown areas with unique shops, restaurants, and friendly pubs, each with its own unique personality. Additional outdoor activities can be experienced within the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Nantahala National Forest, several mountain lakes, and numerous North Carolina and Jackson County parks. And Tuckasegee River access is available at several designated ramps with parking areas and at various pull-offs along the river.

Delightful stay

This is such a wonderful base camp for exploring the Appalachian side of the state. Restaurant are good in Sylva and Dillsboro. Mornings on the porch with a cup of coffee are the best!!!

Great location, tight space but well laid out

Great outdoor living space on the screened in porch overlooking the river. Quiet neighborhood that feels secluded. The house is very well suited to accommodating several adults, but the bunk beds are quite tightly packed and may not be comfortable for some.

WNC visit

We took a weekend trip to visit WNC for my son. This was a great choice as the house is near the school and offered outdoor recreation for my family. The house is beautiful and sits right on the water. We did not encounter any issues and enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Home away from home

The property is well maintained with plenty of modern appliances and entertainment devices. Walking in we immediately felt welcomed. The view and location were prefect. The only downside was the spring mattress made it hard to sleep comfortably through the night. Aside from that, our stay was wonderful and the recharge we were looking for.

Fabulous

The pictures of this house and property don't do it justice!! The outside is so cute and well maintained but the inside is quaint, clean and inviting. It was small but for 3 people it was all we needed. The porch is the best part. The porch overlooks the Tuckaseegee and to sit out there and play games and talk and laugh and hear the rolling water was just what we needed for relaxation!! We all hated to leave!!!

Work/vacation trip

Very lovely place. Not too difficult to find. It was actually a relaxing work trip. The sound of the river and the back porch was a delight. Only strange thing was all the cameras. We are therapists so we were analyzing how the cameras actually induce fear instead of safety. That had a prison feel. I know ppl in the states love their house cameras but we are seeing in our research in trauma that it actually dysregulates your nervous system.

Very nice place

This place was everything we could have asked for. It was super clean and very well decorated. We did have one problem and would make one suggestion... to help get the best night's sleep would be to remove the motion light detector. Every time I turned around or moved at all, it would come on. I had to sleep in the bunk beds to keep from waking up my husband. I felt I was held captive by the motion light. We had to change the position of the motion detectors in order to sleep the next night but moved it back before leaving the place.

We had a quiet and peaceful stay by the river. Nice quiet development on the river. The place was very clean and check in was a snap. Close to a lot in the area but feels like you got away from it all. Looking forward to another visit.
