As advertised, location of cabin and the view were great. Would recommend adding bug spray and binoculars for guest to bring along. Trimming of the landscape around the swing and look out during the summer to open up a better view.

The coziest cabin EVER! To say magical is an understatement. The entire landscape was enchanting. We also enjoyed hiking Laurel River which was only 5 minutes away. We left completely relaxed and refreshed from a much needed romantic get-a-way. Thank you for sharing your precious cabin!

A wonderful Romantic Cabin in the Mountains
Our stay at the River Magic cabin was fantastic! The property is better than the photos, it was clean and very well equipped. They really thought of everything. So the prime reason for picking this property was the location/view, AND we were not disappointed. While it was still a bit cooler that the lower levels it was still warm! It would have been nice if it had been a few degrees cooler. Can only image how beautiful the view would be in the fall! We did get a chance to meet the owners who are super special people! If you want a beautiful cabin in the mountains, give the River Magic cabin a try, you won't be disappointed.

Relaxing Getsway
My husband and I enjoyed a quick two night getaway in this beautiful cabin. The view was absolutely stunning. We enjoyed wine at night and coffee in the morning on the balcony looking at the French Broad River. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The town was cute and our favorite was the local brewery with live music. We also did a couple hikes to enjoy nature within a couple miles of cabin. I highly recommend staying at this VRBO. Our only regret is we didn’t stay longer.

A wonderful retreat! Mind the reviews of the Lover's Leap trail - it is certainly NOT "moderate", it is every bit of a difficult hike.

The Perfect Getaway
River Magic is a beautiful pristine cabin that is well stocked and immaculately clean and well landscaped. It had everything we wanted or needed for a long weekend getaway. Spectacular view in a quaint little town full of friendly people. Communication with property manager was stellar. My only slight critique would be that the hot tub is very small (but very clean and well maintained) and the jets are poor. More of a soaker tub with nice hot water at 105 degrees. The hot water only got to a warm and never what I would call hot in the shower. With that being said, we would definitely still rent here again and I have still given it 5 stars.

Hot Springs getaway
The property was perfect for the 2 of us. Simple check in/checkout. Picturesque setting of the mountains and French Broad River. The wood burning fireplace was a special treat. Be sure to bring your own food as you won't want to leave the cabin. Communication with owner was wonderful.

Fantastic Stay
A wonderful time away for a few days. Clean, Quiet, Relaxing. Please be aware however that the road to the cabin is quite steep. We managed fine with a truck but there may be some difficulty for a car with steep incline and loose gravel.

Why they chose this property

River Magic Has the most captivating and amazing views! The location is so special overlooking the French Broad River. It is a mere 1/2 mile from the town of Hot Springs, in a tranquil, quiet setting. It gives a great place to relax and enjoy the river, woods and trails. Come back to the cabin and sit back in the hot tub looking out to the awe inspiring river and mountain views!

You can be to restaurants and shops in less than 5 minutes. The Hot Springs Spa is close by also where you soak in the amazing natural mineral water and have a massage. A great place to ride your bike, fish or boat.

Our desire is to create a quality cabin which reflects all the charm and style of the mountains combined with the comforts and amenities to make your vacation enjoyable and a special experience.

The combination of the majestic river and mountain views is captivating and mesmerizing. What a beautiful place to sit back, relax and take in the views!

What makes this property unique

Unique private location. Just outside the town of Hot Springs with the National Forest, Appalachian Trail, white water rafting, horse back riding, whitewater rafting, kayaking, biking, fishing, etc. all at your doorstep.
