It was totally awesome from start to finish. Lovely scenic view straight from the cabin windows! Minutes away from anything you would travel to the mountains to do. Absolutely amazing!
Wonderful stay! We really enjoyed our stay at River’s Edge. It was perfect for my husband and myself and throughly met our needs. The location was very close to town and the railroad while being very peaceful and quiet. One complaint is the couch. It was very uncomfortable and we couldn’t stand sitting there to unwind in the evenings. It was kind of a big deal not having a comfortable place to sit. Overall we would absolutely stay again if that was replaced!
Great rental in a great location in a great little town. 5 minutes from Bryson City and 5 minutes from the National Park. The river is full of trout and the town has great things to see and do. The rental was perfect for us and very nice. Will come back!
Such a sweet little place to stay. We were there for the Polar Express. Our granddaughters LOVED that the train ran right by our place. They would run outside and wave to each car. Also it is 5 minutes from everywhere!
Perfect place for 2 people. Had everything we needed. Couch was a little uncomfortable but put blanket over it and was somewhat better. Would definitely stay here again.
Property was very clean. Close to dining and activities of Bryson City. Also close to Fontana Lake where you can rent a boat and go out in lake.

We are a small group of business partners in the trade of construction, long term and vacation rentals. Everything we offer, we also designed, built and manage ourselves :)
This area drew us here as teenagers where we "lived the good life" as white water rafting guides, kayakers and avid mountain bikers. I guess you could say, we kinda FOUND ourselves here and never left. What a grand adventure we embarked on all those years ago... one that led to lifelong friendships! Our children were born here and are close friends as well. This area has been good to us and for us. We work hard but also make time to LIV! After all, what do we have besides this moment?
