About this property

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 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.

Beautiful location!

Great location, right on the river. Accommodations are simple, but adequate. Wifi was a bit tricky but did work better outdoors. Amazingly peaceful, pristine environment and very private. We enjoyed our stay and caught a few fish! We enjoyed being disconnected from everyone for a few days.

Awesome location

This is our 3rd stay here and will return. My husband and I are very happy with this house and location. It is not a property for everyone. The beds are comfortable and the cabin in clean and depicted accurately in photos. It has satellite tv, but cell reception is minimal and wifi is sketchy in the cabin. You can walk to lodge for more reliable wifi. However, Im on vacation for relaxing and this is a place that is perfect for such. Again, not for everyone whom might prefer more amenities, but I will definitely book again, it is perfect for me. I will add that I have met and seen property management each of my stays, they do a great job of communication and list the rental accurately.

A breath of fresh air in Gods Country

Me and my husband stayed here for a weekend getaway we were only two hours away from home. This cabin is right on the river, has a grill,Picnic table with umbrella a back porch to set out at and look at the river and the passing rafters. Trudy gave us detailed instructions and had no problems getting there as gps didn’t work like she said The internet didn’t work well and we was warned before hand but that did not bother me because I got to be away from the hustle and bustle of life and social media. I always wanted and wished to stay right on the nanahala river and my wish came true. We will defiantly be staying here again and I just hope it will be available for us next year. THANK YOU for letting us stay at such a lovely place

Relaxing weekend

Nice simple property as described. We loved being down on the river and watching the rafters go by. Enjoyed slowing down and just enjoying the company of our family. Things to note: This is in a nice gated community right on the water. The water was frigid. It was so cold it stung. The beds could have been more comfortable but were fine for two nights. The wifi does not work but if you are in the back bedroom on the far side of the bed, you can connect to NOC—Guests. Turn up the continuous water heater before you shower. The water has an odor so we didn’t cook with it. They had Uno and playing cards in the living room drawer. There was popcorn in the cabinet! Don’t go to the Nantahala general store. We bought a box of expired macaroni for $7.25. There is an amazing Mexican restaurant in Andrews called Monte Alban. Get the shrimp tacos!

Wonderful vacation location

This property is not for everyone but was perfect for us. If you prefer luxurious and upscale with amenities including internet, cell phone reception and cable, this is not for you. If you prefer the basics surrounded by gorgeous water views, then you will not be disappointed. This was a great experience and perfect for my husband and I. We will definitely return soon. Loved it.

Cozy cabin with incredible location/views.

My father and I enjoyed our 2-day stay especially the stunning backyard views of the river. We also enjoyed fly fishing on a nearby river as well as dinner at the NOC center (5 minutes away). Bryson City also conveniently close (20-kin away) so we stopped in a few times for lunch. Thank you for sharing your home with us for this very memorable trip.

Winding River

This was the best mini vacation we ever took, only wish it was longer. The view was spectacular and the cabin was everything we needed. Next time we hope to stay longer. Compliments to Trudy Mason for reassuring us it would be fine driving there right after hurricane Ian. My son was thrilled with the river and hope to be there again soon.

Loved the Nantahala cabin!

This was the perfect setting for our family gathering this past weekend. It offered a well-stocked and spacious kitchen for family meals and the joy of preparing them together, quiet for relaxation and restoration, beautiful scenery, and so many stars for gazing. Our host Trudy was the best, dropping by to check in on us and say hello but then giving us space to enjoy the place to ourselves. Thank you Trudy and Nantahala cabin for a great experience!

Great Getaway

My husband loved fishing on the river right out the back door. He caught several trout. We saw deer on the other side of the river multiple days in the early morning. Bring your bikes to check out the nearby bike trails. We can’t wait to go back.
