About this property

Four Winds Retreat on the Green River

Four Winds Retreat is located just three miles from Interstate 26, but you'll feel you've arrived in a lovely secluded cove on the banks of the beautiful Green River. As soon as you arrive, you'll hear the rush of the river and when you climb the stairs to the wonderful deck you'll appreciate not only the river, but also the beautiful mountain views.

Four Winds cabin is a newly renovated cabin that was built from poplar logs harvested off the property. Great care has been taken to preserve the rustic charm of the original cabin while offering all the modern amenities that are so welcome in our day to day life. The cabin offers a master bedroom with a queen bed and private full bath. A second bedroom offers two double beds and a full bath just down the hallway. Our third bedroom is in our newly completed basement and has two queen beds and a full bath. Also, in the basement , we have a lovely living area with a table full of games for family fun, areas to enjoy reading and comfortable seating to appreciate the beautiful mountain and river views. The upstairs den is cozy and comfortable with a lovely stone fireplace and a satellite TV when you feel the need to connect with the outside world. The kitchen is fully stocked for all of your cooking needs, or just head over to charming Saluda and enjoy the lovely dining experiences they offer.

Great Getaway Location - Lots of Space

The cabin was very spacious and in the perfect location for our tubing plans. We enjoyed sitting on the front deck and listening to the river. After tubing, we headed to Hendersonville for the Apple Festival. It was a fun trip; we would do it again.

This was our second stay at The Four Winds, but our first after Hurricane Helene devastated the Green River Cove area. The house is still a fantastic place to stay, and now has a better view of the river due to trees being taken out by the storm. We enjoyed the large front deck, the quaint back deck, and fire pit area. The three bedrooms and three bathrooms gave us plenty of space to spread out. The downstairs bedroom might be considered noisy for some due to the hum of the mechanical equipment, but was perfect for someone like me with tinnitus! Anne is a terrific host, and we look forward to returning in 2026.

Relaxing stay at Four Winds

The stairs leading up to the front door were a great workout for 3 65+ women. The home was warm, inviting and provided private bedrooms and bathrooms which was a treat. We had everything we needed and then some. The art work was impressive. Was a great place to relax and recharge. Would have loved to have had access to the river, but sitting on the front porch listening to the water was the next best thing. Would definitely stay here again.

Excellent Cabin!!!!

We absolutely loved our stay at The Four Winds retreat. The location was amazing, the cabin had EVERYTHING we needed! We loved drinking coffee in the morning listening to river. We loved having s’mores and cocktails at the fire pit in the evening and we loved our float with Wilderness Cove float company. We could not have asked for a easier, better rental experience. We have decided to make it an annual trip! Can’t wait to be back next year.

Great Cabin in a fantastic location

We were looking for something very clean and with a few amenities such as internet. Everything was exactly as posted on VRBO. Anne did a great job of responding to questions. Location was perfect for us. About 20-30 minutes from Henderson or Chimney Rock. I love that the river is across the street and you can sit on the front porch and listen to it. We had a fire in the fire pit, the location of the fire pit is great because it cuts down on the wind. We will definitely be visiting again.

Perfect for our kayaking vacation

Great location for Green River activities! Very Spacious. Fully stocked with everything-- LOTS of kitchen items (dishes, pots/pans, seasonings, cooking appliances, dishtowels, dish soap, foil, etc) plenty of towels and linens, paper towels and toilet paper provided, some DVDs, puzzles, and books, new washer & dryer, portable fans in each of the bedroom closets, a/c worked great, owner sent helpful/informative email before our stay to help us plan well, easy "check-in", and more. Practical tips: many hairpin turns going up/down the mountain, poison ivy is everywhere in the summer so school everyone on how to spot it (Thankfully, it was mentioned in the welcome book so we were aware), The Brick Pizzeria is 19 min away and is so yummy, get groceries on your way to the cabin. We had a fabulous time and were pleased with the cabin.

Beautiful house, windy road.

2 families could stay here. It was a perfect place. The river was wonderful, but the road to get there is nothing but switch backs. What can you expect getting to a river on a mountain. I loved it though. Great host. All in all, 5 stars. For us, we had an elderly person and 2 small children. The only things I'd like to add. If you have small children the deck is concerning. I would have enjoyed it so much more if there was a gate and some wire or something. Child safety. And there are lots of stairs but Grandma was able to do them, no problem.

Perfect Family Get Away!

Four Winds cabin was perfect for our family! Clean, great location, and fully stocked with everything we needed. There was enough room for everyone to sleep comfortably. Three bathrooms with showers was a major plus! We enjoyed sitting on the porch listening to the river, watching fireflies at night, and stargazing. We made use of the games and puzzles. There are so many options for outdoor activities. Tubing was a blast and we played in the river a little upstream. There is access to the river across the street. A little steep but there are steps and a rope to help you down. Next time we rent here we will make sure to stop at the store before the descent down the mountain. Lots of hairpin turns. We had so much fun and hope to return soon! Thank you!

This was the perfect place for a mountain weekend getaway! We were very comfortable with 4 adults and 5 children ranging from 8 months to 6 years old. The house is in a great, private location but it is also close enough to various towns. We are hoping to make this an annual (at least) trip!

We had a fabulous time here at Four Winds! Very quiet and peaceful. Enjoyed the front overlooking river. But beware of all the switchbacks that you have to go through to get to the property. Probably takes 10 minutes both up and down mountain.

Perfection and an easy drive-way!

We come every year to the area but are always trying different homes as there's always something we don't like about it. This year we found the perfect home and I almost don't want to write a review because I don't want anyone else to know! The home is so very cozy but still spacious. Tons of perfect reading spots inside and out. The balcony has a great view and you can hear the river running nearby. The driveway is very easy to pull into for this Florida family but be aware there a healthy number of switchbacks you'll need to drive every time you leave or return to the house. There was an abundance of basic items and firewood. I always pack a little bag of basics when we travel because we don't know what the home will have but I didn't need to use any of it. There were tons of puzzles and games that we had fun using and no one even turned on the TV once which is quite a feat with kids in the group. We all agreed this home is perfect and we can't wait to return.
