Beautiful property. Very clean and amazing views. It was just what we needed for a weekend reset. Also check out Just Be Massage Therapy while you stay in Hot Springs. It was the best couples massage we have had. Brooke and Jane were great.

The property is stunning and very clean and very well cared for. The kitchen has everything you need - well stocked. The furnishings and decor are lovely and very comfortable. The hot tub was perfect, private with a gorgeous view. The king sized bed is very comfortable as are the pillows. There is a hefty supply of fire wood and kindling to keep you warm in the winter. The views are incredible. Everything was perfect for our 7 year anniversary weekend. We even went into town and had a light lunch at Provisions with a glass of wine - meeting Sarah and hearing about the devastation Helen unleashed here was so sad and so incredible seeing the town reshaping after such devastation. Our weekend was wonderful and we will be back hopefully for a summer stay next time.

We have lived in the mountains here for many years and enjoy the beauty and serenity this special area affords. We built River Magic Cabin so that our guests can also share this experience and relax and be refreshed in the beauty of the mountains and river.

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.
