You won't believe the incredible river access from this historic mountain cottage! Located on the Rocky Broad River in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, this charming cottage beckons you to wade, tube, swim, and fish right from your own backyard. Look no further for the best fishing spot on the river - you've got it right here at the Green Roof River Cottage.
Not a fisherman? Then enjoy an outdoor meal at the picnic table down by the river. Grill up some hotdogs and roast some marshmallows in the firepit, or just sit and enjoy your favorite book with the sound of the rushing river in the background. Children and adults alike will appreciate the huge, beautifully landscaped, and very level backyard, a rarity in this mountainous area. After a dip in the river, challenge friends and family to a rousing game of badminton or horseshoes. The fresh mountain air will give you extra energy you never knew you had!
The cottage itself is as delightful as its river setting. Completely refurbished and renovated, the entire living space is upscale yet comfortable. The spacious master bedroom opens to a large, covered porch overlooking the river. Here you can enjoy your morning coffee as you wake up to warblers singing from the backyard Red Maple. In the evenings, greet the cool mountain air by cozying up in the king bed with a fire in the stone fireplace. The second bedroom also has a stone fireplace and private view of the outdoor flower garden.
Downstairs is a comfortable living area with 2 leather sleeper sofas, another stone fireplace (also wood burning), and a 54" Wide Screen High Definition TV with cable, music channels, and DVD player. The fully appointed kitchen opens to a charming rock patio with a gas grill, and the dining room boasts the fourth stone fireplace. From the downstairs living area, step out to the large screened-in porch that overlooks the river and brings the outdoors in. Here you can enjoy a meal at the extra dining table, rock a while in one of the over-sized wooden rockers, or curl up on the futon for a quiet nap. Some tenants even prefer to sleep the night on the porch futon where the catydids lull them to sleep....this is what mountain vacations are all about.
Green Roof River Cottage is the perfect vacation spot for families, friends, couples, or a romantic getaway for two. Once you visit, you'll want to return year after year, for this is where family memories are made. The cottage is only minutes away from nearby Chimney Rock and Lake Lure where you can enjoy other activities such as hiking, swimming, boating, shopping, horseback riding, rock climbing, and gem mining. This is a popular spot and a coveted cottage, so book now for the best availability.
