RiverDance combines the best parts of a “Vacation Rental” plus more. Here you don't rent the whole house, since we live there full time. You only rent the number of bedrooms you need. Be our guest, nestled on a quiet mountainside, high above the river.
Experience the outdoors at its best, by day or night, from our Carolina porch. Relax in front of the fire in an inviting great room, and rest comfortably in your private quarters.
Enter Tree Tops by way of the heavy timber stairs. There you will find two spacious bedrooms, a sitting area and a shared bath. One bedroom has two twin beds and the other a queen size bed. Need extra sleeping space? There’s a comfortable futon in the sitting room.
Access the River Rock rooms with ease (handicapped accessible). This space provides a large bedroom with a queen size bed and full bath. The family room encompasses a sitting area, media/Internet center and kitchenette.
Bask in the hot tubs or get a massage in nearby Hot Springs. Raft down the French Broad River, the third oldest river in the world. Fish in the rich trout streams. Western North Carolinas is renowned for its arts and crafts community, visit local craftsmen at work. Hike our wandering trails, the Appalachian Trail is 2 miles away and the Laurel River trail is even closer.
Wander small towns of Hot Springs, Mars Hill and Marshall or immerse yourself in Asheville (the “Paris of the South”). Take a driver of the 'Blue Ridge Parkway'. Experience the majesty of Madison County, the “Jewel of the Blue Ridge”. Or just the perfect place to just 'set a spell' and relax !!
Privacy-One Couples Experience
We are a military couple living in Savannah, GA missing our roots in Pittsburgh, PA and we were looking to go on a vacation for a week before my husband had to leave for a few months. The vacation was last minute because of how the military works. We got online and were looking for vacation rentals for the Smoky Mountains. We started on Thursday night and we were looking to arrive on that Saturday. Three of our Main needs that we wanted were 1.) Privacy 2.) Quiet 3.) Access. Oh and pet accommodating. (our dog Agnes is our only family member) We are hikers, rafters and just up to anything. Callie, Dave, Danial and Miggie were all very accommodating of our needs.
Privacy
We were Extremely hesitant to go with a rental that we were going to be sharing the space with the owners. We are constantly around people with our jobs and need some time to get away and get back to the Mountains! So we were pleasantly surprise with the Privacy that was given to us in the lower level of the house. Which was great with Agnes too, we were able to go in and out of the house with out bothering Miggie and the rest of the house. :-) They put up 2 gates for the dogs so that was not an issue of worrying about them getting together. Off of the media room is the lower level deck that looks out over the beautiful valley. You have full access to the kitchen and main level. Callie and Dave werevery sensitive to our schedule or lack there of :-) So whether you eat the same time everyday or you eat when you can, Callie was all the willing to work around it. We all had a family dinner on our last evening there. I felt like i was a part of the family and was very comfortable.
Quiet
Since we live in Savannah there is a whole lot of light and a whole lot of NOISE. RiverDance was so quiet that most of the time you could hear the river below since there was so much rain I am sure that river was extra loud which was perfect. Bear Run is located in an area that is not really all that developed yet so the simple beauty is still abundant. You hear the frogs, crickets, water and birds constantly and when it is time to go to bed all you hear is the running river below.
Access
On top of privacy and needing a quiet peace of mind place we wanted a location that was not too far away from attractions or different parks. River dance is located just a couple of miles from Hot Springs with is a quaint little town. Has a few restaurants and the Appalachian trail runs right through it. There were a large amount of trails that were right around the area. The more you explore the more you find. Asheville is only about 35 minutes from RiverDance and there is so much to do there if you are not all about hiking 24/7.Plus there are many little towns located within the mountains that you can stumbleupon while you are out.
All and All I will come back to RiverDance because of the Great people that run it and the location. Callie and her family were so welcoming and willing to help us out with anything that we needed. From our dog to washing our cloths after a couple days in the mud. This family is so pleasant and aware of your privacy it is a great combination.
