Hot Springs, North Carolina

Great property! Looks exactly like pictures. Town is within 5 minutes. River is good to swim in. FYI, it is a steep incline down to the river. House is amazing, two great big bathrooms and bedrooms and living room chairs and couch are ok. Lots to do around the area.

A piece of heaven

This cabin is so comfortable and has all the amenities you need. The backyard and river view are amazing and has seating areas with firepit rings in both. You feel the stress evaporate as you relax here. Throughly enjoyed the screened porch at night. Kayaked on the French Broad starting under the bridge in town and past the cabin to the Murray branch pullout it took just under 2 hrs. Hot springs is a very tiny town and off the beaten path which we loved. Enjoyed the pillow brewery in town and the food was good there. The cabin location is very tranquil. Hot tub is a lovely touch. We loved the area and have booked our next stay here.

Got Away

This is not a built to rent property. Thought went into the well maintained design, furniture and fixtures. Home away from home. Served our purpose of R & R well. Only negative would be issue operating TV system probably due to my ignorance of access system. R & R is key here. Not night life and excitement. Go to Asheville if you need that.

Unwind, Unplug, Hike

This lovely cabin was very clean and stocked with everything needed for a nice stay. The river seating area (across the street from the cabin) is private and calming. Take a sweater or jacket with you to the river. The hot tub is private and a nice way to unwind after a day of hiking and exploring. Be aware that after the 2024 Hurricane Helene, there is not much to do in Hot Springs beyond hiking the Appalachian Trail, but the town is friendly and accessible. Definitely dine at the Smokey Mountain Diner and hike the Lover's Leap Trail, which are both very close to the cabin. The binder in the cabin detailing what to do nearby was created pre-hurricane, so not all options therein are currently available. The road is quiet, as it virtually leads to nowhere. It was fun to walk this gravel portion, though, as we tried to find Paint Rock. We thought four wheelers would have made it even more fun (if you have some to take). The CABIN IS ON THE PAVED PORTION of the road, so we had NO PROBLEMS reaching it, and it has flat parking. The owner is friendly and helpful if you need her, but not at all pushy. Take your own fishing poles if you'd like to fish the river. For a small but packed antique store, head down 25/70 toward Newport and shop at State Line Antiques on the right and Grandma's Blessings Thrift Store a little further on the left. We enjoyed our 3-nights of star-gazing, hiking, antiquing, and relaxing. Highly recommend!

MoonDance River Cabin was everything we hoped and more! The cabin has a great floor plan, is very comfortable, and is tastefully decorated. Another important feature is that the home was spotless - one of the cleanest properties we have visited! We also enjoyed the outdoor amenities the property offers. We spent time fishing right across the street and enjoyed relaxing on the porch. The owners are great communicators and go above and beyond for their guests. We hope to visit again in the future!

We have lived in the mountains here for many years and enjoy the beauty and serenity this special area affords. We built MoonDance River 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

The location is so special by the French Broad River. It is just outside 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 on the private covered porch and take in the beauty of the mountains! 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.

What makes this property unique

Unique riverfront 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.
