We stayed in this beautiful home the last week in Oct. and it was more than we expected. The pictures are great, but really don't do it justice. It snowed the 2nd morning we were there. Didn't eat in Marshall, but heard the Bistro was very good. The drive to Ashville is about 25 minutes. We took the train trip out of Bryson, but if I had it to do again, I probably wouldn't as the views from the deck at the house are prettier than any we saw on that trip. Joan has put much thought in the comfort of her guest. Marilyn & Bob

My husband and I went with 3 other couples to Riversky and we absolutely loved it. The house is gorgeous, and the views are unbelievable! There was a ton of room (we also had 3 dogs), and all of the amenities were updated and beautiful! The kitchen was wonderful, and we loved the hot tub on the deck! We definitely plan to return to Riversky next year!

I want to personally thank the owners, Joan & Woody for their wonderful hospitality! Like a prior review stated, they make you feel like a welcomed friend in their home, rather than a "customer". Riversky Lodge was the perfect place for our mountain getaway weekend. My family shared the home with 3 other couples and their young toddler daughters. With 5 bedrooms and 5.5 baths, there was plenty of space for all of us. Ample living space, an extremely well-equipped kitchen, lovely furnishings, and a gorgeous view of the French Broad River really made for a great weekend for all of us! It was amazing how Joan & Woody thought of everything...from hair dryers in all the bathrooms, to how organized the linens were, and the wonderfully detailed set of directions that proved so helpful. I have never rented a home before that had the kitchen so well-stocked with equipment! We really enjoyed cooking together, and sharing meals out on the deck. The kids loved the downstairs (the girls all brought their sleeping bags and had fun watching cartoons on Saturday morning together in the game room). We will definitley be returning!

Best Home with the Best View in the NC Mountains

This house has absolutely everything you will need for a large group of people. We had a group of 15 friends and everyone had plenty of room and we had everything we needed. We cooked/ate all of our meals at the home. The owners provide every utinsel, pot and pan, and dish we needed to fix grand meals for such a large crew. We stay at rentals often when vacationing and I must say this home is the favorite of all the rental homes we have stayed in. This was our second trip to this Marshall home. The view is unbelievable, you must see it in person to realize how amazing this home and it's location truely is. Such a relaxing vacation. We can't wait to come back!

My husbands family all got together at Riversky for my mother-in-laws 50th birthday. It was wonderful and my mother-in-law loved it. The cabin was very relaxing and beautiful. Everyone was extremely pleased with it and we would definitely recommend it to friends. We absolutely loved the view! And the owners were so wonderful to us, made us feel like friends versus a customer. It's so nice to feel like you know the people you're renting from:-)

This home was perfect for our recent rafting trip. Everything was as described and the owners were very prompt in their responses. The pictures do not do justice for the breathtaking river views. The house was very clean and well maintained. Even the hot tub was warm and ready for our arrival. We had 14 people in our group and everyone had a comfortable bed and there was no waiting for a bathroom. There were large televisions with satellite in just about every room, and plenty of movies and games to keep everyone entertained. We look forward to our next visit at Riversky!

My family and I spent the week of Christmas 2010 in this incredible cabin. It was everything the website made it to be and more. The location is tranquil and the pictures just do not do the view justice! The cabin itself was clean, spacious, and had all the comforts and amenities of being at home. We were snowed in for most of the week but barely even noticed since we didn't want to leave! I would absolutely recommend this cabin and would love to stay again. We even tried to book it again this Christmas but it is already taken...in May :-( The owners were very helpful and were readily available to assist us. Thank you Joan and Woody for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Last weekend we stayed at Riversky with 2 other families. In total we had 10 children under 5 years old. The cabin is a huge, each family had their own floor. It is beautifully built and decorated. Multiple bathrooms were "master baths" with huge tubs and showers, the kitchen was perfect for a large group of people, and the cabin was big enough for all, yet had a very cozy feel. There were multiple fireplaces including a fireplace that we used for making smores. There were plenty of fun things to do for older kids including pool, darts, games and outdoor exploring. For the younger ones, they just enjoyed playing in all of the different rooms that this huge cabin had and playing outside. From the first floor balcony the view is amazing... the cabin sits at the top of a mountain that overlooks the river and railroad far below with multiple mountains surrounding the area in the view. We will definitely stay here again, in addition to the beautiful cabin, the owners were super helpful and easy to work with. We didn't know them and found the cabin on this website, but having such a large group we had a number of questions for them and they were very responsive and helpful.

The owners named it perfectly. What a view!!! Our stay here was fantastic, the owners were great, the cabin was amazing. However, it is the view that you come for and we were not dissappointed. We sat on the deck every day and tried to paint the view in all it's variations. In the morning fog blocked most everything but the outlines of the mountians. As the fog burned off the river became visible with fog trainling down the valleys. Later in the bright sunshine you could see forever and at night the mist came up from the river. There are numerous hikes in the vicinity. Our favorite was "Max Patch". We enjoyed going to Asheville to restaurants (it is about 30 minute drive). Marshall is a very small but charming town. You can certainly find much to do. I can highly recommend this property. It would be especially good for large groups because the cabin is large with many bedrooms and areas for people to gather. As just a couple we used the main floor only, which is quite large and well decorated. We had several conversations with the owners and they couldn't have been nicer or more accomodating. All in all, a perfect vacation!

Priceless Mountain View

What an awesome place to get away from it all and relax. Me and a large group spent 2 wonderful nights at this Cabin. The pictures don’t lie; the view is simply amazing and all yours. There is not another house anywhere to be seen once you pull into the driveway. You can easily spend hours upon hours just hanging out on the deck. The cabin has everything you need from a fully loaded kitchen, tons of TVs, pool table, fire places, etc. If you want you never need to leave. However, if you do want to get out and explore the town of Marshall is very nice to walk through and Asheville is only ½ hour away plus the world of hiking, rafting and exploring nature is all around you. If you are looking for the perfect mountain escape I suggest looking no farther. However, one suggestion is if possible avoid driving a car with a low suspension on this trip. We had a couple people in cars with low suspension and they bottomed out a couple times on the dirt road. Also, if possible make your first trip to the cabin in day light it will make finding the cabin much easier.
