The cabin was as advertised, located in a secluded location with great views and access to the river. The cabin was well equipped and nicely suited for any length of stay. Was clean and appears to be well maintained.

My family had a great time! Everything was very clean. We really enjoyed tubing down the river, fishing, and sitting on the porch during thunder storms. It was a great place to unplug and unwind for a few days.

We loved our stay at this cozy, secluded cabin on the river. It’s private and peaceful, yet close enough to Black Mountain and Lake Lure to enjoy everything the area has to offer. One of our favorite things was taking our chairs down to the river, wading in the water, and just relaxing. The cabin itself is warm, comfortable, well-appointed, and has everything you need for a great getaway. As my wife likes to say, it really is a little slice of heaven. We’d definitely stay here again!

The listing photos of the view/river do not do the beauty of this property any justice! The river and river access was INCREDIBLE! We were excited for our trip, but upon arrival we were BLOWN AWAY. As we have two young boys who love to run wild and free, we will be returning every year!

The house was beautiful and so was the view. It was nice and cool while we were there. My advice to anyone packing to go there though they should take warm clothes and cool clothes. But only because of the weather not the house. It was very cozy, warm and inviting. I love the windows and especially the birdfeeder outside of the window. I hope to get to go again.

The cabin is more spacious than the pictures make it look. One bedroom is on the back of the house and we were able to fit a travel crib in it, which was nice because we could be on the porch enjoying the river view and not wake the baby. River was great to play in for both the 5yo and the toddler (with constant supervision, rocks are slippery!). It was extremely low due to the drought which meant we could explore some sand bars and watch fiah get caught up in the eddies. Tubes and kids fishing poles were provided. We tied a rope to a tube and had fun dragging the kids around. Definitely bring water shoes. We'll be coming back!

This is a great place for a peaceful getaway. We loved listening to the sounds of the river. It is about a 20 minute drive to get to grocery store, etc so take that into account when you go out/plan your day. The house has everything you need including lots of games and puzzles. We wished we would have stayed longer and definitely would stay here again.

Our entire family enjoyed our stay at this Broad River cabin. We walked in and immediately liked the vibe. The cabin has a modern decor and the furniture was comfy. The cozy blankets were bonus! The bird feeders are great and we enjoyed watching the hummingbirds and cardinals. The kitchen had everything that we needed to easily prepare each meal. The access to the river was easy and my guys enjoyed fishing and exploring the river while my daughter and I chilled out in the swing. The location of the cabin made it easy to explore western NC area. We went for a hike at Catawba Falls, we went tubing in Asheville, and went into Black Mountain for the 4th of July festivities. Our entire family gave our stay 5 out of 5 stars!

This property was absolutely beautiful. We could have sat by the river all day. Our teens loved playing in the water and we greatly appreciated the tubes to float in too! The house was clean, cozy and big enough for our family of 5. It was also well stocked with everything we needed. Communication was easy and hosts were friendly. Would love to come back sometime! As stated in another review keep in mind that stores and restaurants are about 20 minutes away, in case that is a problem for anyone. We enjoyed the privacy though. No neighbors in sight. Just the river and some pretty neat fireflies at night!

This is a fantastic spot. We loved the view and sitting on the swing near the river. The large dining table was the perfect spot to put together a big puzzle, but it would also be great for a big family. We like this place so much that this was our second stay at the cabin, and we hope to visit again in the years to come.

The cabin was perfect for what we were looking for. It is a very quiet, secluded section of heaven! We enjoyed sitting on the porch drinking coffee and on the lower deck listening to nature. My husband enjoyed wading and fishing in the river. Amazing place!

Fantastic Cabin!

We had an amazing week at Broad River Cabin! The location and river access were a dream, and plenty of room for our family of 5. Short (windy) drive to Black Mountain, Asheville, and Chimney Rock/Lake Lure if looking for more to do.
