Map & Owner's Profile
Morning Glory at Riverwalk: Blue Ridge Mtn Private Cabin
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Burnsville
The saying goes: "I wasn't born in Burnsville but I got here as quickly as I could" The climate is perfect with four different seasons: Beautiful cool Summers, colorful Falls, relatively mild Winters, and fresh green Springs. Morning Glory is in a perfect location to make the most of why a Blue Ridge Mountain vacation is great any time of the year.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
Morning Glory is private which is the number one question we get. Downtown Burnsville is only 10 minutes away and has a large modern supermarket (which is a really big deal) when many of the alternatives are far from town with no shopping whatsoever. (This is a good question to ask when making an inquiry). Probably the most unique benefit of Morning Glory is that the sound of the river (rapids) right below the cabin is the first thing you notice when you step out the door.
Owner's Map of Burnsville
My name is Paul Ewing. My wife and partner, Judi Ewing, are the owners and operators of the four vacation rental cabins that make up Riverwalk Vacation Rentals. We designed and had the cabins constructed during 2005-2006. We are both retired business people and the idea was to invest the money from the sale of our business into property that created positive cash flow. Neither of us has any past experience in this industry. We designed and furnished them with what we thought we would want in a vacation rental. The picture is Sammy and I,one of my 7 grandchildren, with a very nice trout he caught here on the property.

We had such a superb time staying at RiverWalk in May, 2006. The amenities were impeccable, the hosts gracious and the scenery breathtaking. We highly recommend this getaway and will hopefully return soon!

My family and pet Maya spent a glorious time in Morning Glory during Christmas 2010. We got exactly what we were hoping would happen. We stayed in a beautiful cabin, we got snowed in, and we were in the company of extremely warm sweet people. Paul and his family were more than accommodating during a few days of heavy snow. Our vehicle was a two wheel drive van and was no match for the 24 hours of constant snow. Paul and his son-in-law made numerous trips to our cabin delivering firewood and even let us borrow a four wheel drive vehicle to go to a neighboring town and get supplies and better snow proof gear. Who does that in this day and age? Especially coming from Miami, we felt by the end of the week, that we were leaving family when driving off. I can't say enough about the beauty and cleanliness of the cabin, the views, the river bend below us and Paul's family and extended family in the barn. I just made reservations for Christmas 2011...look us up at Morning Glory...see you there!
Owner response:Thanks for the great review, Alex. We had a good time as well. I had plenty of help dealing with the snow, fresh cut frazier firs for those who wanted them, lots of sledding, etc. All and all a wonderful Christmas for everybody here on the mountain. Looking forward to seeing your family again. Hopefully, there will be snow. Paul and Judi

We stayed at Riverwalk for 4 days in 2010 and had an absolutely fantastic time. We were very impressed with the cleanliness and amenities. The location is great, close to Asheville but still far away to feel like you are "getting away". Great hiking in the area. Thanks for a great place to stay! We will be back!
Owner response:Thanks for the great review. We can talk up ourselves until we are blue (so to speak) but so does everybody else in this business. Great reviews from prior guests say more about our property than we ever could. Come back and see us. Tell your friends and family too. Paul and Judi

Our stay at Morning Glory was everything we had hoped for and more. The owner went way out of his way to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The house has everything you could need and is do cozy. The grounds around the cabin provide lots of fun activities for everyone. We especially loved the zipline and the hiking areas. The cabin is also conveniently located for going skiing. Thanks for a great vacation!

The Best Christmas Vacation Ever!

We spent our Christmas vacation at the Riverwalk Cabins in Burnsville. We lodged in the Dogwood Cabin and fell in love with the cabin, surrounding scenery, and especially the hot tub. The inside of the cabin was cozy and welcoming. The owners were very nice, and showed us how to work the in's and out's of the cabin. They provided plenty of firewood, kept the roads plowed around the cabins, and had fun activities at your own leisure at the pavilion area. Their kindness and hospitality was by far the best we have ever experienced in our travels. What we loved most about the Riverwalk Cabins was the reasonable pricing, we could bring our dog, privacy of our cabin, a moderate distance from local attractions and Asheville, and being able to hot tub and grill in the Snow! So, if you are thinking of renting a cabin we would recommend the Riverwalk Cabins.

Two girlfriends and I just returned from a stay at Riverwalk and it is exactly what we had in mind. We wanted a cabin in the mountains outside of Asheville. The cabins are really well set up with great beds and linens and nice kitchens. The setting could not be nicer with the mountains and river just beyond the front porch and its great hot tub. I've been to many cabins like this and give this one the top rating for how nice it is.

Morning Glory Cabin - September 4-6, 2010

This was a perfect family vacation for us and ended the summer with a bang for our kids! The location was absolutely beautiful and serene. There was so much to do! The river ran right past the cabin where the kids tried fishing with their bare hands, tubed, and cooled off. My husband and I spent the days hiking the many trails on the mountain and in the woods, then relaxing our sore muscles in the hot tub on the porch enjoying the beautiful scenery. Our dog was in heaven curled up on the porch watching the humming birds eat from the feeder. At night we curled up in cozy, clean beds, after a warm fire as the nights grew chilly. Our kids also spent the days feeding and playing with the horses (Thank you again Ms. Judy!), riding on the zip line at the pavillion, and exploring the "wilderness". We could not have asked for a more satisfying vacation before the school year began. This cabin calls for a definite return!!!

My husband and I have visited Riverwalk twice. We've had a superb time both times. We've hiked, shopped at Ingles and cooked food at the cabin, went stargazing, and spent time looking at Paul's houses around the property. We're keeping it in mind to at least retire to....if not earlier! It's so relaxing on the farm, and we would recommend this place to anyone who wants a place to get away from everything. The Ewings are wonderful people, the best hosts around. :-)

We have been visiting Morning Glory cabin for several years and have not found any that compare! It is quiet, secluded, the scenery is beautiful and Judi and Paul are the best hosts you could ask for. They take care of their guests and make sure you have everything you need. The furniture is some of the best, very comfortable (which is very important if you are sleeping/sitting on it for a week or more). We strayed last year and went to Gatlinburg but will never make THAT mistake again! If you want peace and quite in a cabin with all the ammenities, this is the place for you. It is secluded, yet close enough to areas of shopping and entertainment.
