Sweetwater Fly Fishing Camp

Escape to one of western North Carolina’s most unique mountain retreats.

At the end of a private gated drive through the Nantahala National Forest, you’ll discover Sweetwater Fly Fishing Camp—a secluded riverfront cabin on nine private acres surrounded by thousands of acres of protected forest.

Originally operated as a fly-fishing lodge, Sweetwater offers something that very few mountain rentals can: the adventure begins the moment you step outside.

Walk directly from the cabin to White Owl Falls, explore Tumblin’ Fun Falls by following Gum Bottom Creek upstream, hike to Tall Falls, fish the Thompson River, relax beside the river pavilion, or simply enjoy the sounds of rushing water from the screened porch.
