Nantahala River front cabin adjoining National Forest

✨ A True Adventure Lover’s Retreat on the Nantahala ✨

If you’re looking for a unique experience, this is it! This one-of-a-kind property is a magical mountain escape—an adventure lover’s dream nestled along the Nantahala River.

Sitting on over 3 acres, the property offers about 300 feet of river frontage with stunning mountain views and direct access to National Forest. At over 3,000 ft elevation, you’ll enjoy both privacy and natural beauty all around.

The cabin itself is full of character, built entirely from recycled wood sourced from old properties. Every detail is thoughtfully designed, from the classic farm sink to the cozy push-button gas fireplace. After a day outdoors, relax by the fire or unwind on the covered deck overlooking the river.

📌 Note: There is no cell service here, but we do provide WiFi. With WiFi calling enabled, you can make calls and send texts seamlessly.

🚙 Access

The property is accessible via a paved low-water crossing. The river is typically 6”–1 ft deep, so a Jeep, SUV, crossover, or truck is required. (A small car is not adequate.) AWD is recommended for the driveway.
