Down by the River is a picturesque three-bedroom, three-bath cabin offers a unique blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. This idyllic retreat, with its prime riverfront location, embodies a perfect harmony between nature's splendor and human craftsmanship. Its design and setting create a sanctuary that invites relaxation, rejuvenation, and a deep connection with the natural world.

A spacious, open concept living area serves as the heart of the cabin, where the kitchen, dining, and living spaces flow together effortlessly. The interior features high, exposed wood ceilings and a beautiful stone fireplace, which serves as both a focal point and a source of cozy warmth during cooler months. The natural wood finishes and earthy tones used throughout the cabin enhance the feeling of being nestled in nature, creating a tranquil environment that is both elegant and unpretentious.

Each of the three bedrooms is a private haven designed for relaxation and comfort. The master suite, located on the upper floor, features a luxurious ensuite bathroom with a large walk-in shower.

These rooms are thoughtfully designed with comfortable furnishings, ensuring that every guest enjoys a restful and rejuvenating stay.

This charming retreat not only provides a sanctuary of comfort and relaxation but also boasts a unique feature that distinguishes it from other getaways—the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway, gracefully traverses through the backyard. The train’s presence in the is both a visual and auditory delight. The rhythmic sound of the train’s whistle and the gentle clatter of wheels on rails create a harmonious backdrop to the tranquil environment of the cabin.

The cabin’s layout maximizes its riverfront location, with outdoor living spaces that extend the enjoyment of the natural surroundings. A spacious screened deck, complete with comfortable seating will be the highlight of time spent outdoors. Two outdoor fire pits, one riverfront, adds a touch of magic to the evenings, inviting guests to unwind under the stars while listening to the soothing sounds of the river.
