About this property
Riverfront Escape | Sauna | Private Trails
Escape to your private sanctuary in the Nantahala National Forest. Our Riverfront Retreat is a secluded 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom cabin where modern comfort meets wilderness adventure, offering exclusive access to private trails, six stunning waterfalls, and your own Finnish sauna right by the river.
★★ KEY FEATURES ★★
- Private access to the national forest with scenic trails and 6 waterfalls
- Sauna room for hot/cold immersion therapy
- 3 comfortable bedrooms: king, queen, and twin-over-queen bunk
- 3 full bathrooms + 1 half bathroom
- Large open kitchen/dining area seating 8
- Cozy lounge with stone fireplace and Smart TV
- Screened-in porch with seating and dining area
- Riverfront access with campfire area and chairs
- Elevated walkway to porch seating, cabana, and stone grill
Discover serenity and style at this 3-bed, 3.5-bath haven, thoughtfully designed for relaxation and connection. The cozy lounge is the heart of the home, featuring a beautiful stone fireplace, a huge sectional sofa, and a Smart TV. The fully-stocked, open-concept kitchen includes a large dining area that seats eight, making it perfect for sharing meals with family and friends.
Each of the three comfortable bedrooms is a private retreat equipped with a plush memory foam mattress and a Smart TV:
- Master Bedroom: A king-sized bed, serene river views, and a luxurious ensuite bathroom with a large walk-in shower.
- Second Bedroom: A queen-sized bed and a dedicated workspace for those needing to stay connected.
- Third Bedroom: A twin-over-queen bunk bed and a Nintendo Switch for entertainment.
The outdoor space is just as remarkable. Enjoy private riverfront access where you can fly fish for trout or simply relax by the water. An elevated walkway leads from the screened-in porch to a cabana with a stone grill, perfect for an evening BBQ. Unwind in the Finnish sauna, conveniently located next to a path to the river for invigorating hot/cold immersion therapy. End your day making s'mores around the campfire.
