Whether you are visiting to go rafting, to explore shopping or great Flea Markets in the area, to hike in the great Smokies for Views or waterfalls, mountain bike the trails at Tsali, golfing or just want a getaway, this unique house can deliver and charm you. Pan ‘for your own Ruby’ Mine is just down the road, Horseback riding, zip line, high ropes course, wall climbing and Cherokee and Murphy Casinoe are all Nearby! Ice cream shop and BBQ stand are just steps away! (\*We Are Open Seasonly\*closed during winter\* If your stay is in spring or fall these businesses may be closed\*- ??one reviewer assumed that ‘closed for the season’ meant health department closure?) \*\*NOT toddler proof! \*please do not let toddlers out of sight/reach!! (Our games/remote controls are NOT toddlers toys!!) \*Please bring your toddler safe toys and keep ours out of their reach!) Thank You Nantahala Outdoor Center is just a mile down the road with a great restaurant overlooking the river, Across the pedestrian bridge (entertaining in it's own right!) is an amazing kids treeHouse/ropes challenge and world class outfitter store. Motorcycle "Mecca" \*\*- Tail Of The Dragon is nearby - Our house is on the renowned “moonshine loop” from Deals Gap. Covered parking for 2 cars or plenty of motorcycles! Whittier (next town) has 3 Golf courses! . \*\*IMPORTANT notes: The house is 2 story and built on pylons (see the photos!) - so climbing stairs is a requirement and if you have never stayed at an elevated beach house be aware you can feel movement in any structure built on pylons. We offer week or monthly Discounts which are automatically calculated by your reservation request \*\*Can’t stay The full minimum requirement - \*\*message us - we may be able to accommodate! VRBO blocks phone numbers until after you reserve but you can reach us at area code (704)and prefix 488 & 2386. The RiverHouse is great for an ‘UNPLUGGED’ get away BUT, be aware -\*\*\*The internet access is through YOUR OWN DEVICE only - great reception from Verizon for voice and data \*but Some other cell carriers may have limited coverage in this area. (No T-Mobil but AT&T reception is fine.) \*\*NEITHER internet, nor cable TV reception are available in this area!!\*\* We have lots of videos available or bring your favorite movie on disk to watch on our 4 foot flatscreen TV. We highly recommend you print out directions and check-in information - reception in the mountains is spotty for all cell and GPS devises, Siri and your other guidance devises are unlikely to work as you are accustomed to! Mostly we hope you enjoy an 'unplugged' vacation - if you haven’t tried it in a while- give it a try- nothing beats it!! We do require a current cellphone for security reasons, so \*if you do not enter your phone number in your reservation request it will be delayed\* until we have a phone contact to reach you. \*\*\*please note\*\* no campers or tents allowed! Our typical season is Mid April - Mid November - \*winter rentals by special request are only available for 3 month non-refundable minimum rental and security deposit is required.\* With the extra time required to sanitize all surfaces between guest stays we must strictly adhere to checkout by 10:00 am and normally cannot complete the cleaning prior to the 4:00 checkin time.

The balcony hangs right over the Nantahala River. Steps away is an ice cream shop and BBQ shack. We fished the river, went rafting, hiking, had camp fires, and the kids played along river banks, all without driving far. The cabin is clean and has all that you need. Waking up to the sound of the river flowing by was great! We will be back again for sure. ##### DANIEL D. Stayed 5 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew D.

Breathtaking views and the peaceful surroundings make this a fantastic spot to unwind, and unplug. Our children 7,8, 9, spent the trip catching fireflies and playing in the river. There was no begging for a tablet, TV, or video game. The only negative to our visit was having to head home. Can’t wait to come back. ##### Matthew D.

Oct 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice fishing cabin on the Nantahala The cabin is located right on the Nantahala river. We went for trout fishing. Unfortunately the river was held high for our entire trip, so fishing was not good there. I suspect it was due to the flooding in NC, but I don't know that for certain. If you are going to trout fish behind the cabin be sure to check water level plans with Duke Energy in advance (if possible). That said, there are numerous other rivers to fish within a 30 minute drive. The cabin is old, and not as nice as in the photos (much older than the photos) BUT it has everything you need, the beds are comfortable, and everything works! You can't say that for many VRBO stays. The house, while old, was VERY clean. This was one of the best hosts I have ever worked with. He called prior to discuss our needs. He communicated extremely well, and I felt comfortable speaking with him. So, if you are looking for an upscale vacation spot on a river, this is not the place for you. But if you don't mind an old house that does the job in an absolutely beautiful location, then this will definitely work. I would call it a fishermans/hikers/outdoors person's place. We enjoyed our stay. ##### J. D. T. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claire R.

Sep 16, 2023 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Location, listing accuracy #### scary week Up on arrival the place just look like a group of abandon buildings. (because all but this house are) The inside was not bad just not well kept. The property though was unusable. Down trees, brush and over growth was ridiculous. The deck was to the point of being dangerous to be on. The ice cream shop and barbecue restaurant that were on the property and next door were shutdown by the health department last May and were still not open. Overall it just gave you the movie Deliverance feeling. We even got to see some guys getting high behind the ice cream shop one night. We really need to do more research on the rentals before we ever do this again. ##### Kevin H. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James M.

The perfect base camp to do so many wonderful things, or the perfect place to just chill and enjoy the beautiful Nantahala River. We had members of our party do both and everyone was happy. River House is comfortable and well stocked with everything you need. For a long weekend we packed in a lot. We booked a guided trout fishing expedition and rafting trip through Endless River Adventures. They were excellent! We hiked, fished, went horseback riding, took a scenic ride to Highlands and saw some beautiful waterfalls along the way. Watching the rafters and fishermen drift by was awesome entertainment! The ice cream shop and BBQ places on the property were a plus! We ate at Boots in Sylva for dinner one night which was great. Had tasty breakfast and lunch one day at River's End at the NOC. It was a wonderful long weekend and everyone in our party is already talking about going back! Thank you to our host Nolan who was very easy to communicate with and helpful with recommendations. ##### Kim H. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tamara W. Oct 29, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful and fun The property was strategic to all the wonderful attractions, food, and hiking/watersports in the Nantahala, Bryson City and Cherokee, and Smokies National Park area. The cabin was clean and well appointed, private (in mid-Oct) and very relaxing. The glass wall and deck overlooking the river really made our stay perfect. We had the peak fall leaves in full view every morning and quiet murmuring of the river at night. It was all we had hoped! ##### Tamara W.

We cooked our favorite dishes & found everything we needed in the house. My favorite part was waking up & being able to watch the river from our bed. I wish we could’ve stayed longer. ##### Cindy M.

Just a little close to the road. They were everything they advertised. My fault for not looking closer at the map. We were there for the first cold snap so unable to enjoy the river proximity. Beautiful view from the windows. Must be awesome in season. ##### TODD B. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Victor J.
