Whether your passion is fishing, canoeing, or simply relaxing by a peaceful riverfront, our cozy house in Hot Springs, NC will suit you. Located near the quaint town of Hot Springs, an Appalachian Trail stopping point, our home is surrounded by a grassy expanse directly on the French Broad River looking across to the majestic Painted Rock Wilderness Area.
With plenty of room for a game of horseshoes, toasting marshmallows by the outdoor fire pit, or lounging on the screened porch, it is a place to make some memories. The kitchen is well appointed with a commercial grade stove, all standard appliances, and dining room seating.
There is central heat and air, washer and dryer, and even a jacuzzi tub in the master bath. Its charming character is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, and a short drive to the town of Hot Springs provides shopping, dining, an abundance of outfitters for rafting, kayaking, biking, and other wilderness fun.
With direct access to the French Broad River on the property, you could 'boat in-boat out' from the banks right in front of the house. The options for outdoor enthusiasts are endless!
We have created a 'Parents Retreat' within the Riverfront Retreat in the huge master suite. You can enjoy the extra large jetted tub, take a quick steam in the steam shower, then sit and enjoy a good book in the cozy reading spot or view a grownup movie on the TV. All the while your family can play in the over two acres of level yard outside or watch their own movie in the living room! Join back together for an evening on the porch with the over hearth gas log fireplace.

My husband and I stayed at the property right before New Year's. The property is just far enough away from town to have some peace and solitude but close enough so that you can hop in the car and head down to Hot Springs for a bite to eat, enjoy a soak at the mineral springs, or do a little bit of shopping or hiking. Its also within a reasonable distance to drive to Asheville for the Asheville experience. The kitchen was very roomy and not cramped at all. A TV was available in both the living room and the master bedroom for when you needed to pop in a dvd and zone out. There are plenty of books on the bookshelf to read during your stay. The property is situated right next to the river so you can enjoy sounds and sights of the French Broad during the day and the amazingly clear skies and starry canvas at night. I commented many times during our stay how it would be the perfect home for us after our kids go off to college. So, you should go and enjoy this property now because in 2 years I'm going to have to see if Steve will sell it to me!
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, sightseeing, pet owners, families with young children.

We were particularly drawn to the riverfront retreat due to the kitchen amenities. Since we were staying over a holiday weekend we knew we would have to rely on cooking at the property as the few businesses in town would likely be closed over the weekend. Unfortunately, we were unable to use the oven since it appeared to have the gas shut off. I tried for some time to light the pilot based on the instructions printed on the stove to no avail. This was a major problem and dissapointment. It was evening of Christmas eve when we found out and I'm not sure we would have been able to find anywhere open in town to call about it. Neither of our cell phones worked in town as expected, but we were led to believe there would be an emergency phone on the premises. We searched the entire house and found nothing. Fortunately nothing bad happened like a fire for instance, since the batteries were dead in both of the smoke detectors and the fire extinguisher had not been serviced since 1995. There were also 10 or so burned out light bulbs throughout the house and not enough hot water to remotely fill the jacuzzi tub. The outdoor fire pit had no propane tank rendering it also inoperable. There were no matches or utility lighter in the house to light the pilot on the stove. Luckily we had matches in our car trunk. Perhaps the property gets more use during the warmer months, but this left us feeling like very little attention was being paid to maintaining the premises to a standard acceptable and safe for renters. It also seemed strange to us that no instructions were left at the house to explain basic things, like how to operate the oven, stereo, or jacuzzi tub, and where the emergency phone can be found for example. This could help to aleviate much confusion. This house is not safe for rental in its current state, and we hope this situation is remedied for future tenants.
