River Romance

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Set on almost a half-acre, this stilted river cottage is the perfect getaway! Just a few feet from the Tuckasegee River but also close to town, this retreat is perfect for groups looking to get a real sense of the mountain atmosphere. Walk just a half-mile into Dillsboro to shop, dine, or canoe the river. Trails also fill the area for hiking and exploring the surrounding mountains.

The thoughtful orientation of this modest-sized cabin keeps the river-song in your ears and heart. Guests can use the hot tub on the front deck, the outdoor firepit (bring your own firewood), and the covered picnic shelter. Inside, you'll find a compact, but full kitchen as well as a main bedroom with a large TV with surround sound speakers.

This home also includes central heating and air-conditioning.

Serenity for sleeping
Nice location along the River. Entrance to driveway is hard to see due to trees and curve. Clean. Repairs needed, but nothing that impedes a good night’s sleep. Balcony is a lovely place to chill and watch the water dance past.

Gorgeous spot on the river. Excellent fishing, quaint town, friendly people and great central location for exploring tge area. Cabin is a bit antiquated but the view and hot tub made up for the few flaws! The cabin was well equipped for preparing meals.

Beautiful location, rustic
Location is right on the river, beautiful spot. Best part is the hot tub looking out over the river. Quite rustic and could use a little TLC. Paint coming down from the ceiling in the bathroom and master. Overall though a nice quiet place, close to town. A good getaway for relaxing and nearby hiking.
