*Please note the Wi-Fi service and cell phone service is spotty. No land lines are available in Cabin. If you really need to make a call you can drive approx. 7 miles down river to the NOC facility. They have great cell phone service there.
*Also, please note there is a house being built near the cabin so occasional noise from the construction.

Nantahala getaway

We’ve stayed at this property in the past and it is always a 5Star experience. It is a well appointed home with a beautiful outdoor living space that sits alongside the Nantahala! Nature at its very best! Highly recommend!

Slice of Nantahala Heaven

This property is perfectly located for all hiking and waterfall access. Close to the smokey mountains for exploration and about 15/20 min from a grocery store. Being directly in the river makes all the difference. Having 3 master suites is more than what our family needed but perfect for group travel. Paved roads leading in and level ground that makes the yard safe for kids and pets. The owner was awesome and provided great communication. I'm looking forward to hearing back in the summer! You're right down the way from NOC- Nantahala Outdoor Center for all tubing, kayaking, and adventure needs. Don't hesitate... this is a very special find!

Simply AMAZING!

I can't express how wonderful this house and location are. Before our stay, I thought a bit about the cost for a weeks vacation here but hours in to our arrival, the value of this rose by the minute. This place is truly second to none and provides such a unique view of the water, location to anything you would want to do and we just happened to be there while the weather was absolutely PERECT! The only thing we hated was the day we had to leave. Do yourself a favor and book this place, you will NOT be disapointed.

Perfect Mountain Retreat on the River

Beautiful new home directly on the Nantahala River. Modern and clean, with a beautiful outdoor space, we enjoyed watching the kayaks and rafters moving down the river. The host was attentive and the home was stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The home was in close proximity to the Nantahala Outdoor Center which was our home-base for rafting and zip-lining.

Absolute best place to stay on the Nantahala

My recent stay at this VRBO property on the Nantahala River was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the serene surroundings, spectacular sounds, and breathtaking views. The house itself was immaculate, well-appointed, and exuded a cozy yet luxurious charm that made us feel right at home. The interior of the house was very impressive. The open-concept living area was spacious and filled with natural light, offering unobstructed views of the river through large windows. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals, and enjoy them on the spacious kitchen island or large table. Another highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the hot tub. Nestled on the deck with a perfect view of the river, it provided the ultimate relaxation experience. Soaking in the warm water while listening to the river was pure bliss. It was the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring the beautiful outdoors. The bedrooms were comfortable and tastefully decorated, providing a restful night's sleep with the soothing sound of the river in the background. The bathrooms were spotless and stocked with high-quality linens and toiletries, adding to the luxurious feel of the property. Location-wise, this VRBO couldn't be better. We enjoyed easy access to hiking trails, rafting companies (Nantahala Rafting with Fast Rivers about 1 mile away!), and the NOC only 8 minute drive away. The property's secluded setting also ensured peace and tr

Between the professionalism of the host, the beautiful cabin, and the stunning views of the Nantahala River - it would be hard to compete with this property - it has it all! I can’t wait to come back and visit this place in the future. 10/10!

Riverside Retreat

Stayed for a long weekend with some friends. The house is wonderful. Very clean and nicely decorated. The outdoor space is great and the location is perfect. We spent so much time on the back deck watching the river it was perfect. Close to Bryson City and Andrews where there is plenty to do and places to eat.

Weekend on the Nantahala

This rental was wonderful. The home is laid out so well and had everything we needed to enjoy our long weekend. We chose to eat in the first night and the kitchen was well stocked. Linens in the bedrooms/bathrooms were nice quality and beds were extremely comfortable. Having the internet and Dish were great for watching SEC football on Saturday although the outdoors took precedence over football this past weekend. The home is designed extremely well with views from all rooms. The highlight of the property is the back deck with the fire table and the hot tub. This gated community provides amazing scenery but we think this lot is by far the best. The host was very accomodating and check-in was easy. We'll definitely be return guests. Thank you for sharing your property.

What an amazing cabin on the river! Beautiful cabin that was everything we expected it to be. David, the host, was great to work with. We loved watching everyone raft down the river during the day and at night we enjoyed the peaceful sound of it. We will definitely stay there again the next time we visit!

The most amazing place

I’ve been down the Nantahala at least 50 times in my life. This was my first time actually staying on the river. This house was simply amazing. The design features, the property and the furnishings were all perfect. Of all the properties in Mystic River, this one has the best run of rapids at its back door. It’s unbelievable. And the inside of the house was immaculate. The designers thought of everything. There isn’t a spot in the house where you can’t see the river. They even used mirrored backsplash in the kitchen — so even if you turn away to cook on the stove you can still see the river. We will definitely be back. The owners were also super accommodating and responsive. The wifi isn’t strong but I actually preferred that — forced our family to disconnect. No cell coverage and slow internet forced us to put our devices away and enjoy all the property has to offer.

Best House on the River!

Amazing location, amazing house! We rafted past Mystic Village last year and knew we had to reserve one of the homes for our trip this year! This home did not disappoint! The house was wonderful, spacious and comfortable for our family of four and goldendoodle - the amenities were fantastic (two gas fireplaces for convenience and a fire pit), large private rooms and bathrooms, comfortable furniture outdoors and just steps away from the river! The kids had a blast floating down the river when the water was low and it was a lot of fun watching the rafters wave as they passed by! We had a wonderful stay and will definitely return again!
