Very clean cabin. Creek right out back door. Trouble getting into cabin with the lock. Called manager and he had not put my number into system. He easily corrected it.

Check in was easy with door code. The cabin is attractive- furnishings are fresh & it is very clean. It is a small cabin, accommodating 2 people - perfect for couples We did have difficulty operating the AC unit. The host was unable to resolve the issue, and as a solution, he offered that we stay in the larger cabin for the remainder of our stay. We stayed in Mama Bear after that. This cabin is also beautiful, fresh & comfortably furnished. There is a wonderful screened in porch & wonderful light in the common room/kitchen area. Location of the cabins is excellent- very close to the Nantahala Outdoor Center & River’s End Restaurant. Rivers End is definitely a favorite!We enjoyed kayaking & a hike (Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest) during our stay. It is noteworthy that the loft ceiling in Mama Bear cabin is low & we could not stand up fully there (my height is 5’6”). Other than our AC difficulty, the amenities were nicely done - including a kitchen area with the basics. There are seats by the river which was a peaceful spot to pss the evening. The host was responsive to our questions & requests- we messaged through the app as needed. I recommend stays st either cabin.
