About this cabin rental

Located in Swannanoa, this charming cabin for $390 per night is a great choice for your next break. River Rock Cabin Come see why VRBO ranked River Rock Cabin one of the top 10 cabins in the US in our second year open and why we have over 400 five star reviews, 12 minutes to downtown Asheville and less than 5 minutes to the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Folk Art Center. The most visited site on the 469 mile parkway. It’s an easy Uber ride to enjoy the breweries, galleries, amazing restaurants and all Asheville has to offer. Located on a quiet dead end street in a quaint, one way in - one way out, neighborhood, the cabin creates the illusion of being in your own private world. Beautiful bamboo forests flank each side of the property and create privacy. Planted in the early 80’s, the former owner chose clumping bamboo. Not an invasive spreader and it's looked the same for the 18 years I’ve been here. I’ve harvested dead stalks to build the privacy screens on the deck and at the edge of the property, otherwise, I leave it alone. It remains green year round. Come enjoy this Zen Appalachian paradise. Peace and beauty await. Rest, relax and let your dreams soar while you explore a peaceful day on the river. Perfect for tubing, kayaking, and fishing and especially hanging out and relaxing.. The Swannanoa is the most heavily stocked trout river in NC. Controlled by a reservoir, the river typically is bucolic and beautiful, but can get rip roaring at times. It’s power can be impressive. The cabin has a maximum capacity of 4 people and features a queen sized bed in both the private first floor bedroom, and the upstairs open loft bedroom with private bath. It’s perfect for 2 couples or a romantic get-away for 2. Sorry, no pets and no children under 6 and NO SMOKING! Access for the game room is through the first floor bedroom or from outside. Lower level renovation in 2021 now greet guests with all of the features from, with a GIANT addition. The lower level garage, in the past used for storage and off limits to guests, has been re-imagined. If you liked the cabin before, you will LOVE it now! The cabin is now open to the river like never before with new see through wire railings on the upper deck. AND the amazing new 600 SF game room. Expansive up close views of the river create a back drop for the new game room where you’ll find a 65” smart TV, 9’ shuffleboard, a dartboard and a vintage 1948 Victor Billiards pool table. Plus a dedicated 10 x 10 foot open area for yoga, Pilates, and stretching or meditating. All of the wood in the game room was harvested from trees I cut down, on a lot about 25 minutes away, to clear a view for the little cabin I renovated there and had the timber milled and kiln dried. I used some of it for the game room. The door latches and pulls are from rhododendron in the yard here. Early check in is sometimes possible. Let me know what you'd like and I'll do my best to accommodate. I live next door and am close by if you need me. I’m delighted to say hi and chat if you see me out walking my dogs or throwing sticks in the yard, but I respect your holiday and won’t invade your privacy . I provide firewood for fire pit outside, 3 dura-logs for inside wood stove, K cups for Keurig coffee maker, filters for drip coffee maker. The cabin has a fully stocked kitchen including many common spices. Shampoo and body wash in showers. Hair Dryer. All linens. Steamer for wrinkles as well as an iron and ironing board. Outdoor gas grill with extra propane tank. Smart TV’s upstairs and in game room. High speed internet. Come. Relax. Enjoy. Welcome to your sanctuary on the Swannanoa River. The cabin is full of art and collectables I have gathered over a life time. Every one of them has a story. Please ask if you are curious. Amazing new tree trunk carvings create a private art park atmosphere on the river. Enjoy any of the three firepits along the river. Thanks for considering River Rock Cabin for your holiday accommodations. Rustic, contemporary, industrial luxury.

This was one of the cleanest and well-stocked VRBO locations we've stayed at. I expect others will recognize VRBO locations that feel a bit dingy or dirty when you arrive, or where the owners have skimped on basic amenities (I'm looking at you, "one roll of hotel toilet paper per bathroom" locations!). This couldn't have been further from the truth with this rental. The cabin was very clean and very well stocked with basic amenities needed for the stay, from dish and hand soap to logs for the indoor stove. The owner, Lyn, was also incredibly helpful. Due to some very strong winds that blew through the area during our stay, we lost internet for the better part of a day (thanks Spectrum). We also lost power around 11 pm one night (which Duke Energy thankfully restored within an hour). Lyn was giving constant updates throughout the outages, and recommended a really nice coffee shop (Filo Pastries) for internet access we needed while the outage was ongoing. We'd definitely stay here again.

My husband and I along with our two teenage grandsons spent a glorious Thanksgiving holiday at this property. It is everything that the pictures portray and more. We enjoyed the environs and the cozy cabin which had a well appointed kitchen with plenty of service items. We had only one small request for the host which was fulfilled in under 10 minutes. The game room was almost continually occupied by our teens while we were at the cabin. I had looked at this property many times and only wished I had rented it before on one of our previous trips to Asheville. Don't hesitate to book. Not only does it provide a feeling of seclusion, but you are within easy traveling distance to the restaurants in Asheville and Black Mountain, as well as well positioned to visit other hiking places in the area.

Had a wonderful time in a cabin by a stream. Quiet and peaceful. Wonderful place to see the fall leaves changing . Everything is there that you need for your stay. The owner is nearby and very helpful. A great person to know. Definitely will return for another fall visit.

This is our second stay. It is absolutely beautiful with everything that one would need for a perfect vacation. Lyn, our host, greeted us shortly after arrival to ensure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this cabin for anyone who enjoys the sounds of a mountain river, a comfortable cabin, a fire, an outdoor fire pit, and so many other wonderful amenities.

This property is so amazing. The view, the porch, the house, the wood carvings, the art, the owner were all so spectacular! I took my daughter and her 2 besties to visit Biltmore for her 16th birthday and we could not have found a better place for us to stay!!! They had so much fun in the creek, the game room, and just walking the property. We saw more beautiful things everytime we looked around. I cannot
