About this cabin rental

Settle into this one-of-a-kind riverbend vacation cabin near Black Mountain, NC, perched at the headwaters of the pristine Broad River in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Leave the world behind in this secluded natural paradise — private, peaceful, and just minutes from the best of Western North Carolina. You are within 25-35 minutes of Asheville, the Biltmore Estate, Black Mountain, Montreat, Hendersonville, Chimney Rock, and Lake Lure so you can disconnect, but also have gigabit fiber internet available if you need to stay connected.

Turn onto the tree-lined, hidden driveway and the Broad River comes into view, curving gently in front of the home. The river winds down the mountain through a lush canopy of dogwood, hemlock, and black walnut across the 2½-acre property. Hummingbirds put on an endless show at the two porch feeders with occasional cameo appearances by critters such as groundhogs who could easily be mistaken for a misplaced plushie. Surrounded by woods and wildlife, the river is your only visible neighbor.

Take in the sights and sounds of the river from the rocking chairs, porch swing, or dining table for four on the full-length porch. Wander down to the overlook deck for a closer view, or all the way to the river's edge. Cool your feet, sun yourself on a granite outcropping, or cast a line for native trout. Above all, relax and let routine stress melt away. Great for families.

Special Features:

Three cozy bedrooms, each with its own adjustable ductless AC/heating unit: Queen, Queen, and two Twins
Spacious main living/dining room with seating for 10, also with ductless AC/heating
Cozy breakfast/game room with a comfortable futon for extra flexibility

This property was absolutely beautiful. We could have sat by the river all day. Our teens loved playing in the water and we greatly appreciated the tubes to float in too! The house was clean, cozy and big enough for our family of 5. It was also well stocked with everything we needed. Communication was easy and hosts were friendly. Would love to come back sometime! As stated in another review keep in mind that stores and restaurants are about 20 minutes away, in case that is a problem for anyone. We enjoyed the privacy though. No neighbors in sight. Just the river and some pretty neat fireflies at night!

This is a great place for a peaceful getaway. We loved listening to the sounds of the river. It is about a 20 minute drive to get to grocery store, etc so take that into account when you go out/plan your day. The house has everything you need including lots of games and puzzles. We wished we would have stayed longer and definitely would stay here again.

Another perfect stay!This was our third stay at Jonathan and Melissa’s beautiful cabin on the river, and it just keeps getting better. The location is unbeatable—we loved spending time outdoors, enjoying the peaceful river, fishing, and relaxing on the swing. Morning coffee on the porch with the sound of the water is absolute heaven.Inside, everything was just as warm and welcoming as always. The fireplace and the wood stove made the cabin feel extra cozy, and the sound system was a great touch for relaxing evenings. We also love the live-edge wood added around the main bathroom mirror—such a beautiful detail that fits the cabin’s charm perfectly.As always, Jonathan and Melissa are incredibly kind and responsive hosts, making sure everything is perfect from start to finish.We can’t recommend this cabin enough and are already looking forward to our next stay!

Overall awesome location and property, but due to excessive rain the mildew smell in the house is strong. The property owner is doing all that is possible to combat the moisture and mildew in the house but if anybody in your family is hyper sensitive to not stay here as it w ill ruin your tripi ended up sleeping on the couch and my daughter is extremely congested. Again, this is no fault of the property owner.
