Elk Falls Riverhouse - Mountain Retreat

Escape to this comfortable 2-bedroom, 2-bath mountain retreat nestled along the scenic Elk River in North Carolina. Perfect for relaxation or adventure, enjoy essentials like Wi-Fi, air conditioning, heating, and a fully equipped kitchen. Unwind by the river or explore nearby trails. With a washer and dryer included, it’s ideal for longer stays. 

The Riverhouse is a tastefully renovated one-level home overlooking the Elk River in Elk Park, NC, with Direct and Private River Access.

This comfortable upscale retreat is adjacent to the Pisgah National Forest and just a short walk from one of Western North Carolina’s most breathtaking attractions, Elk River Falls.

You also have DIRECT access to miles of trails for hiking or mountain biking, and the area is known for trout fishing.

Kick back on the spacious river-facing front porch, where you can enjoy your morning beverage and dine while observing nature and living like a local. View Ospreys, Eagles, Kingfishers, and Herons in their natural habitat while listening to the soothing sound of the river. Find unforgettable scenery here, along with the comforts of home.

The Riverhouse features an open floor plan, a fully equipped kitchen, and a comfortable living room with leather furniture and three recliners. There is a mini split AC/Heating unit in the main living area and a stand-up fan.

Each of the 2 bedrooms has a Queen bed with Egyptian Cotton Sheets and a ceiling fan.

There are two very nice bathrooms, one with an easy-to-step-in shower, the other with a shower/bathtub combo.

This is a great stay! The smallest details were thought of in every area. Snacks for arrival, bathroom lights, puzzles and games for kids and what a beautiful view from the front of the home and the magical sounds of running water outside the home. The drive up will have you questioning your choice but it’s so worth it. The small drive or walk to the waterfall is magical as well!

Big kitchen with an island for casual eating and a larger table for sit-down family meals. Cozy recliner couch and chair, fast internet and nice sized guest rooms. Great decor, newly and very tastefully remodeled. The hosts communicated well and were extremely friendly and accessible. Our favorite was meeting their horses, sitting by the outdoor firepit while enjoying the rushing water from the river that is right across the street. There is even a waterfall just up the road providing yet another bonus! We’ll definitely return for another visit!

This property is simply amazing. I wish there were more than five stars to rate. I would say six stars at minimum. The house had absolutely every amenity that you can imagine. Updated kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms made the stay comfortable. Best of all, was the serenity and peace that the property offers. It is about 30 minutes from Beech Mountain and 15 mins to town for groceries, etc. There is a local restaurant about 10 minutes away that offers a great breakfast.The host were amazing. Could not have asked for more,
