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.

Trudy, the property manager, is amazing and incredibly responsive. The river front setting is amazing. The cabin is basic and aged. There is traffic noise. Trudy does her best to give you the best stay possible.

Perfection!

The cabin was exactly as listed! If you're looking for luxury, don't book here! Think of it as a "glamping" experience. Everything you need to enjoy nights by the fire, grilling dinner, trout fishing, hiking, whitewater rafting or kayaking, and just enjoying family and friends with a warm or cool place with a comfortable place to sleep at night. And the location!!! Absolutely amazing. Plenty of space for three adults and two teenagers right on the Nantahala River! We will be back!

Review

The physical location of the property was great, on the river as described. As others have mentioned it's not a luxury property. The 2 recliners need to be replaced. The entire cabin needs a deep clean. Dishes were dirty and there was an ant problem. Beds were ok at best; if you like firm you should be ok. Road noise was a bit annoying. 2 AC window units, 1 is loud and honestly a mini-split would do a better job. I had a good time enjoying the river but felt the price was a little high considering the above.

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.
