Location: Sparta, Blue Ridge Mountains, North Carolina, USA (Near Sparta, NC But Just Over the Virginia Line on New River)
Accommodations: Cabin, 2 Bedrooms + Bunk Area, 1 Bath (Sleeps 9-10)
Our cozy cabin sits high on a 5-acre bluff overlooking the whispering shoals of the New River near Sparta, North Carolina. The closest neighbors are across the river. You can hear the whisper of the river's rapids from our deck.
The cabin is ideal for a couple or a family. Two couples can stay comfortably as well, with each having a private sleeping area. Two families can sleep comfortably but must share the single bathroom.
We supply firewood for the wood-burning stove that warms the Cliffhanger in the winter. The cool breeze coming over the mountains will let you keep the windows open in the summer.
Bring your canoe, kayak, or tube! There is an easy public launch about 3 miles upstream. Enjoy a leisurely float down to our waterfront where you can pull up and sunbathe on the large smooth rocks by the river.
The country roads near the Cliffhanger are a cyclists' dream. Little traffic, postcard views, and fresh air make the Cliffhanger a perfect place to start and end your ride.
Or, fire up the grill, put on the catch of the day and kick a leg up onto the porch rail. Listen to the river as the sun goes down. You may hear a red-tailed hawk or an early owl. You can take the memories of our view home with you.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2006
I'm Eric Rosentreter and I own the Cliffhanger with my brother, Max. We both live in North Carolina. We like to get outside as often as possible.
Why the Owner Chose Sparta
We bought the Cliffhanger because the New River valley is picture postcard beautiful. The mountains here are very accessible too.
The Unique Benefits of this Cabin
Nothing beats just sitting on the deck.
