RIVERFRONT Cabin on Nantahala River, Minutes from NOC

8/10 Good

"The best thing about this cabin was the wonderful porch/deck just a few feet from the river and with a view of the mountains. We spent hours sitting on the porch, reading and talking, and waving to the kayakers and rafters who streamed by. In the mornings we watched the fog lift off the mountain and the fog roll down the stream. The full moon over the mountain was wonderful.(I am too persnickety: the porch ceiling and fan were dirty.)We were four old people and found the lightening in the house insufficient for comfortable reading or playing cards. That said, we had a wonderful time and enjoyed the cabin, especially the porch!"
