About this property

RIVERFRONT Cabin on Nantahala River, Minutes from NOC

  • Our cozy cabin is located in the Mystic River gated community along the banks of the world renowned Nantahala River with the Nantahala National Forest along the facing bank. The cabin was built in the early 1970 prior to the current 25 foot building setback requirement, part of the cabin is literally over the bank of the river. Because its river bank location is grandfathered in we are very limited in our ability to alter or remodel. The unique location of this cabin is part of its charm. If you are looking for a luxurious newly built cabin, our property is probably not for you. The cabin is very modest and basic but has everything that you will need If you are looking for the most unique location in one of the most beautiful river settings you will ever find and are willing to accept clean but minimal accomodations, then you will enjoy our property. A private get away from the busy world.
    Fish from the deck if you choose or watch the whitewater rafters float by just a few feet away, wishing they had your view. We have 2 miles of private river frontage plus 2 islands for your fishing and hiking enjoyment. You also have access to miles of private hiking trails, fish pond, and pond side pavilion in our nearby sister community.

    If that is not enough excitement, how about a white water raft ride down the Nantahala River stopping off at your own private cabin for a half way break or just relax on the covered porch and watch the river pass by.

    Whatever your idea of a vacation in the Smokey Mountains includes, our riverfront cabin is the perfect lodging solution.

    We have multiple properties so if we don't have availability here we may have something open so please ask.

Beautiful location!

Great location, right on the river. Accommodations are simple, but adequate. Wifi was a bit tricky but did work better outdoors. Amazingly peaceful, pristine environment and very private. We enjoyed our stay and caught a few fish! We enjoyed being disconnected from everyone for a few days.

A breath of fresh air in Gods Country

Me and my husband stayed here for a weekend getaway we were only two hours away from home. This cabin is right on the river, has a grill,Picnic table with umbrella a back porch to set out at and look at the river and the passing rafters. Trudy gave us detailed instructions and had no problems getting there as gps didn’t work like she said The internet didn’t work well and we was warned before hand but that did not bother me because I got to be away from the hustle and bustle of life and social media. I always wanted and wished to stay right on the nanahala river and my wish came true. We will defiantly be staying here again and I just hope it will be available for us next year. THANK YOU for letting us stay at such a lovely place

Awesome location

This is our 3rd stay here and will return. My husband and I are very happy with this house and location. It is not a property for everyone. The beds are comfortable and the cabin in clean and depicted accurately in photos. It has satellite tv, but cell reception is minimal and wifi is sketchy in the cabin. You can walk to lodge for more reliable wifi. However, Im on vacation for relaxing and this is a place that is perfect for such. Again, not for everyone whom might prefer more amenities, but I will definitely book again, it is perfect for me. I will add that I have met and seen property management each of my stays, they do a great job of communication and list the rental accurately.

If you want prime riverfront property full of trout look no further. Read the listing, this is not club med. If you’re looking to be outdoors this place is perfect. If you stay up late enough a cute little couple of river otters who have no sense for personal space will make a showing.

It is a super location on the river with privacy. There is road noise but didn’t really bother us. It’s tough to fish the river because its flow is controlled by Duke for whitewater activities but there is fishing opportunities very close by. Very relaxing with fire pit and pretty much everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Our dog loved it!
