Elk Falls Riverhouse - Mountain Retreat

Escape to this comfortable 2-bedroom, 2-bath mountain retreat nestled along the scenic Elk River in North Carolina. Perfect for relaxation or adventure, enjoy essentials like Wi-Fi, air conditioning, heating, and a fully equipped kitchen. Unwind by the river or explore nearby trails. With a washer and dryer included, it’s ideal for longer stays. 

The Riverhouse is a tastefully renovated one-level home overlooking the Elk River in Elk Park, NC, with Direct and Private River Access.

This comfortable upscale retreat is adjacent to the Pisgah National Forest and just a short walk from one of Western North Carolina’s most breathtaking attractions, Elk River Falls.

You also have DIRECT access to miles of trails for hiking or mountain biking, and the area is known for trout fishing.

Kick back on the spacious river-facing front porch, where you can enjoy your morning beverage and dine while observing nature and living like a local. View Ospreys, Eagles, Kingfishers, and Herons in their natural habitat while listening to the soothing sound of the river. Find unforgettable scenery here, along with the comforts of home.

The Riverhouse features an open floor plan, a fully equipped kitchen, and a comfortable living room with leather furniture and three recliners. There is a mini split AC/Heating unit in the main living area and a stand-up fan.

Each of the 2 bedrooms has a Queen bed with Egyptian Cotton Sheets and a ceiling fan.

There are two very nice bathrooms, one with an easy-to-step-in shower, the other with a shower/bathtub combo.

This home is equipped for both long and short stays with essential amenities included.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Property was clean and as it appeared on the website. Host was very nice and made us feel at home. Took care of everything we needed. Enjoyed feeding and petting the horses. Nice walk to a very cool waterfall. Enjoyed the fire pit and the rest we were able to get. We would definitely stay again when in this area
