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.

Seeing New Place

Our family enjoys booking little getaway’s with VRBO and Hot Springs did not disappoint. The cabin gave us great privacy, lots of fishing, some walking and just opportunity to put our feet up. The little town of Hot Springs was wonderful! Welcome Center provided great history of the area, we were able to get breakfast both mornings and shopping for local artisan treasures to take home!

Riverside Getaway

Had a great weekend in this rustic cabin on the river. Nice and quiet, with great views of the river and Pisgah National Forest. Enjoyed some much needed R&R. Cabin was spacious and amenities were excellent. The only negative was the dirt road in. Needed to drive very slow due to the rut and holes. But definitely not the owners responsibility.

Girls getaway

This was a fantastic girls weekend with my girls. A gorgeous cabin right on the river with an amazing deck. We saw eagles, ospreys and an otter swimming by while having coffee on the deck. We also relaxed at the near by hot spring spas for an hour got dinner at one of the local taverns. Tried our hands at fishing while relaxing near the water. Amazing place to relax and unwind. Definitely coming back for a much longer stay. FYI: Stop at a grocery store prior to coming into the local town it has very few options if you want particular food options or wine.

Nature Lovers Retreat

A great place to recharge! Rustic but thoroughly modern cabin with a huge deck that overlooks the French Broad river. Boulders located just upstream from the cabin produce a soothing rushing water sound that lulls you into a peaceful afternoon nap in one of the zero gravity chairs. The cabin is very well stocked with most everything you need- I especially appreciated that there are adequate paper goods that we didn't have to go to the store. Lots of hiking in the area and kayaking near the cabin. There are a few casual restaurants about 5 minutes away. The wifi signal is strong and had no problems with Verizon cell service at the house. We liked that the huge upstairs bedroom has it's own thermostat, although the A/C is quite noisy. We also appreciated the information folder with detailed information and directions to hikes in the areas as well as restaurant menues. Would highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking for some peace and quiet.

Amazing stay for R&R

The craftsmanship of the construction of this cabin is top notch. Everything is so comfortable, and just watching the river flow by is a relaxing way to pass the time. Thank you so much for sharing this warm space with us! We’ll be back!

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!
