We are proud to offer River Rock Cabin as a brand new listing for 2023! Open to responsible couples and small families/groups, you'll love the location and super comfy feel of this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath private cabin. The cabin comfortably accommodates 6 guests, but is also nicely sized for smaller groups and even couples wanting a little more room to spread out.

★ LOCATION ★
The cabin's prime but peaceful location sits on an easily accessible paved dead-end road less than a half-mile to US-64, a main route for getting you quickly to all area activities and attractions. No narrow, winding, gravel mountain roads need to be traveled.

★ INDOOR LIVING ★
The cabin’s welcoming interior is open, brightly lit and features a mix of quality mountain rustic and modern appointments. The feeling of quality, warmth and coziness is felt immediately upon entering, providing a sense of satisfaction that you made the right choice for your mountain getaway.
The open main floor features the living, dining and kitchen areas along with the master bedroom, gorgeous master bath, a walk-in closet, laundry room and a guest bathroom. You’ll find on the upper level two more bedrooms and a spacious bathroom with double sinks.

★ SLEEPING ★
The main floor master bedroom and rear upper bedroom are furnished with rustic solid wood king beds while the front upper bedroom contains a solid wood queen bed. All beds are furnished with quality memory foam mattresses.

★ KITCHEN ★
The fully equipped modern kitchen features granite countertops and full-sized stainless steel appliances, including a refrigerator, dishwasher, stove, microwave and other kitchen appliances perfect for making breakfast, lunch or dinner throughout your stay! All pots, pans, glasses, plates, silverware, etc. are also there for you. There is a bright, roomy dining area located right off the kitchen with access to the side deck and gas grill. Additional seating can be found at the breakfast bar.

★ OUTDOOR LIVING ★
Outside, you'll find inviting covered porches on the front and back, plus a side deck for grilling and al fresco dining. All outdoor areas are furnished with ample seating. A porch swing on the rear porch overlooking the mountains will quickly become your favorite spot in the cabin. A gas fire pit table and warm party lights, both also found on the rear porch, heat up the ambience after the sun has set.

★ STOCKED ITEMS ★
Here is a list of the many items we provide: bath/kitchen towels, bed linens, cookware, dishes, flatware, cooking utensils, dish soap, hand soap, foil, cooking spray, S&P, coffee, Keurig K-cups, coffee filters, paper towels, napkins, toilet paper, Kleenex, trash bags, laundry and dishwasher detergent, dryer sheets, hair dryers, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and more!

★ PARKING ★

★ ADDITIONAL ★
Booked guests will receive access to our digital guest manual/area guidebook before arrival. It provides information about your stay, amenities, checkout procedures, etc., along with an in-depth guide and recommendations to area dining, shopping, activities & more! No app needed.

For our guests with mountain or road bikes, we offer secure bike storage in an unfinished, high clearance, well lit crawl space area accessible from the outside. A hose is provided for bike washing.

For guests with a dog, we provide a 30” crate, which will hold up to a medium sized dog. We do not provide any dog beds or blankets. $50 length of stay pet fee.

Dream House
This house had everything we needed and things we didn't know we needed--even a sleep machine! My top need was a porch with plenty of seating to look out over the mountains in the morning with my coffee and in the evening with my wine. Very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend this home. Our hosts were amazing.

Perfect Mountain Getaway
This house was so incredibly nice, clean, and spacious. And the back porch was my favorite place to sit and read. I rented this place for a short weekend work trip, but I cannot wait to come back for a longer stay. Thank you! Chase

Perfect Cabin!
I've been renting cabins in the Western NC mountains a few times a year for 25 years and this is the cleanest cabin I have ever seen. It is also well stocked and up to date in every way. Just of Hwy 64, but secluded with a view of a valley over the river. Close to both Hendersonville and Brevard. There is an Ingles grocery just a couple miles away. The hosts were quick to communicate and very gracious. This was a solo business trip, but I promised my wife I'd bring her here on vacation soon.
