Private Tuckaseegee River 4 Bedrm House Trout fishing, Tubing, Firepit, Parking
RiverSong Retreat on the Tuckaseegee with private river access.
Wake up to the gentle sound of the river flowing past your backyard. Sip coffee on the porch as morning mist rises from the water. Cast a fly rod from the riverbank, spend the afternoon floating downstream, then gather around the firepit beneath a sky full of stars.
Discover a private riverfront escape nestled on 1.2 beautifully landscaped acres along the Tuckaseegee River in the heart of Western North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains. Here, the sounds of the river replace traffic, schedules, and everyday distractions.
Enjoy the feeling of being miles away from everything while remaining less than 10 minutes from historic downtown Sylva, Western Carolina University, restaurants, breweries, shopping, grocery stores, and everyday conveniences.
Guests often tell us they planned to spend their vacation exploring the mountains, only to discover that their favorite moments happened right here by the river.
WHY GUESTS LOVE THIS PROPERTY • Direct river frontage on the Tuckaseegee River • Private 1.2-acre park-like setting with mature trees and beautiful landscaping • Trout fishing from the backyard • River tubing from the property • Firepit overlooking the river • Two large covered porches • Four spacious bedrooms • Three king beds and two twin beds • Fully equipped kitchen • Fast Wi-Fi and Smart TVs in living room and 3 king bedrooms. • Easy paved roads and year-round access • Less than 10 minutes to downtown Sylva and Western Carolina University
THE RIVER EXPERIENCE The Tuckaseegee River is the centerpiece of the property and the reason many guests return year after year.
Bring your fly rod and fish for trout just steps from the house. Anglers often catch trout directly from the backyard.
On warm summer days, launch a tube upstream and float back to the house, or begin at the property and enjoy a leisurely one-hour float to the Locust Creek access area approximately one mile downstream. Wade in the shallow water, skip rocks with the kids, watch for herons, hawks, and wildlife, or simply settle into an Adirondack chair beneath the trees and listen to the soothing sounds of the river.
Many guests arrive with plans to explore every day and soon find themselves lingering a little longer by the water, watching the sunlight dance across the river and wondering why they don't do this more often.
THE HOUSE Designed for gathering and relaxation, this spacious riverfront home comfortably accommodates families, couples, friends, and Western Carolina University visitors.

Amenities include: • Full-size refrigerator • Microwave • Air fryer • Keurig coffee maker • Traditional drip coffee maker • Pots, pans, dishes, glassware, and serving pieces • Generous workspace for meal preparation
OUTDOOR LIVING This is where mountain memories are made. Start the day with coffee on one of two covered porches. Watch the river drift by. Listen to birdsong echo through the trees. Spend the afternoon tubing, fishing, hiking, waterfall chasing, or doing absolutely nothing at all.
As evening approaches, fire up the grill, gather around the riverside firepit, and watch the stars emerge above the mountains. The expansive lawn offers plenty of room for children to play, yard games, family gatherings, and outdoor dining.
