RIVERFRONT Cabin on Nantahala River, Minutes from NOC
Our cozy cabin is located in the Mystic River gated community along the banks of the world renowned Nantahala River with the Nantahala National Forest along the facing bank. The cabin was built in the early 1970 prior to the current 25 foot building setback requirement, part of the cabin is literally over the bank of the river. Because its river bank location is grandfathered in we are very limited in our ability to alter or remodel. The unique location of this cabin is part of its charm. If you are looking for a luxurious newly built cabin, our property is probably not for you. The cabin is very modest and basic but has everything that you will need If you are looking for the most unique location in one of the most beautiful river settings you will ever find and are willing to accept clean but minimal accomodations, then you will enjoy our property. A private get away from the busy world. Fish from the deck if you choose or watch the whitewater rafters float by just a few feet away, wishing they had your view. We have 2 miles of private river frontage plus 2 islands for your fishing and hiking enjoyment. You also have access to miles of private hiking trails, fish pond, and pond side pavilion in our nearby sister community.
If that is not enough excitement, how about a white water raft ride down the Nantahala River stopping off at your own private cabin for a half way break or just relax on the covered porch and watch the river pass by.
Whatever your idea of a vacation in the Smokey Mountains includes, our riverfront cabin is the perfect lodging solution.
We have multiple properties so if we don't have availability here we may have something open so please ask.

This was a beautiful, and clean place to stay and get away from the daily routines. We loved this place and probably will go back again sometime. The hostess was really great!
This place is truly magical. Sleeping with the sounds of the river right under your window is something we’ll never forget. Endless entertainment watching the rafters and fisherman enjoying Nantahala. We left planning our next trip! One to remember!
The property in and out was very clean and well kept. The host was very responsive. The cabin was the perfect size for a family of 4. Pet-friendly for our cat is what we were thrilled about.
Location, location, location! We came to do rafting/ kayak/ fishing. The cabin is right on the river. So peaceful. The cabin is rustic and basic, had the essentials. Few miles from NOC. Has firepit, we cooked hot dogs. Bring your own camping chairs. Very safe, gated area.
This rental was amazing! Clean and the view was phenomenal! All of our time was spent on the back porch relaxing or trout fishing on the river! The owner was quick to answer any questions we had. Our dogs had a blast also. I will definitely book this cabin again!
This is the third time staying here and the cabin is very clean, beds so comfortable it was hard to get out of them to go fishing! Trudy is very responsive with any questions we had. Our favorite place to stay! Thank you Trudy!
Cozy cabin. Incredible property right on the river. Cool mornings drinking coffee and listening to the river and birds. Fly fishing right out the back door. Loved sitting by the campfire in the evening watching the fireflies all around. Appreciated the puzzles and being able to have our dog with us. So much to do in the area. Can’t wait to come back. Thank you for sharing this piece of heaven on earth.
We loved staying right on the river watching the rafters float by. The cabin was great and the property is beautiful. The cabin has everything you need for a comfortable stay and the fishing was good, can't to come back !
If you want prime riverfront property full of trout look no further. Read the listing, this is not club med. If you’re looking to be outdoors this place is perfect. If you stay up late enough a cute little couple of river otters who have no sense for personal space will make a showing.
You cant beat this location it is so beautiful and peaceful! We had an absolute blast . From star gazing at the fire pit to zip lining and white water rafting and fishing on the river bank. The property was amazing
This was our second stay at this property and we fell a little more in love with it! The view is the absolute best! From mountaintop fireworks to a beaver swimming around before dark; we love it here.
We have just switched to a pay-per-booking service with VRBO. If you would like to discuss special rates, please let me know. We offer special rates for military personnel, government employees, teachers and many more.
