Cabin Spotlight ~ River Cabin!
Our smallest & most adorable cabin sits right on the French Broad River! Since it`s a cozy studio cabin, it gently pushes you to spend more time outside, whether that`s walking a trail or relaxing on a rocking chair.
Features:
☕️ Kitchenette with just the essentials
🌳 Front & back porches with views
❤️ Cozy, picturesque design
Often used as our "honeymoon" cabin for weddings, it`s a great option for couples and romantic getaways! With our reduced rates for the remainder of 2026, River Cabin is perfect for an affordable & cozy stay!

A little glimpse of our Mountain Loop Trail! It’s a short trail but it’s nearly all an incline on the way to the top. Would you try this trail?
