About this property

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.

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.

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!!

Beautiful location, challenges for older adults

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.

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.
