Settle into this one-of-a-kind riverbend vacation cabin near Black Mountain, NC, perched at the headwaters of the pristine Broad River in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Leave the world behind in this secluded natural paradise — private, peaceful, and just minutes from the best of Western North Carolina. You are within 25-35 minutes of Asheville, the Biltmore Estate, Black Mountain, Montreat, Hendersonville, Chimney Rock, and Lake Lure so you can disconnect, but also have gigabit fiber internet available if you need to stay connected.
Turn onto the tree-lined, hidden driveway and the Broad River comes into view, curving gently in front of the home. The river winds down the mountain through a lush canopy of dogwood, hemlock, and black walnut across the 2½-acre property. Hummingbirds put on an endless show at the two porch feeders with occasional cameo appearances by critters such as groundhogs who could easily be mistaken for a misplaced plushie. Surrounded by woods and wildlife, the river is your only visible neighbor.
Take in the sights and sounds of the river from the rocking chairs, porch swing, or dining table for four on the full-length porch. Wander down to the overlook deck for a closer view, or all the way to the river's edge. Cool your feet, sun yourself on a granite outcropping, or cast a line for native trout. Above all, relax and let routine stress melt away. Great for families.
