This property was above and beyond what we hoped for! Jack and Christie are the best hosts. They met us and told us if we needed anything just let them know. The cabin was spotless. The decor was beautiful. The kitchen has everything you need! The bed is so comfy! The river outside is a small slice of heaven - I love the sound of running water. We saw 4 deer during our stay. Highly recommend! It is our favorite place to stay in NC

Castaway is a beautiful property right on the river. The cabin has everything you need and is spotless. You can hike the property and enjoy the privacy in your own back yard. It's peaceful and very private. Close to dining, grocery shopping and hiking. Can't wait to return! :)

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The property and cabin are beautiful. The setting on the river is picture perfect and the cabin itself is impeccable. The hosts anticipate every need and are accessible for any questions. We loved spending time outside and cooking at the cabana. It’s a peaceful getaway with close access to all the area has available. Definitely a 10/10! We’d love to visit again.

Castaway Cabin exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail was above and beyond. Truly one of the best experiences we’ve had. You can sit on the front porch and enjoy the Pigeon River or move to the Cabana for another relaxing view. They have everything you need for your stay. Waynesville is very close by. Maggie Valley and the Blue Ridge Parkway was a great drive as well and topped it off with a visit to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.Communication with the owners was excellent.

It was the perfect spot for our 30th anniversary -- close to Maggie Valley & Waynesville downtown restaurants, plus a 50-minute ride to the casino hotel (which my husband had a 1-day conference at during our stay). Very clean & upscale cabin with all the right touches!:)

Wonderful hosts. Beautiful property. Clean, well appointed cabin. Reasonably priced. Just what the doctor ordered! It will be your own little slice of paradise on the river. Quiet and peaceful (you can't see another cabin from the front porch, just the river), this cabin is perfect for two people who want some time alone. It's a beautiful, tastfully decorated, very clean cabin with everything you need... comfortable king bed, smart TVs in both the living room and the bedroom, gas fireplace, all the right kitchen appliances and tools. Just a short walk away is the covered cabana with a gas grill and outdoor firepit. Easy access to the shops and restaurants in Waynesville (try The Sweet Onion!, Maggie Valley (the Maggie Valley Sandwhich Shop is perfect for a delicious lunch), and miles of scenic drives. You can also visit Asheville, a short drive away. The hosts, Jack and crystal, are wonderful folks, easy to talk to, and very responsive to any question or request. Don't hesitate, book The Castaway Cabin now!

We spent a long time choosing special places to stay as part of our trip to the US and the cabin exceeded expectations. Spotlessly clean, well equipped and lovely personal touches. It is set in the most beautiful surroundings and offers much more than most rental properties - clearly a labour of love for the owners. Watching the (natural) world go by from the porch, come rain or shine, is something we will never forget - the property is solid and would be great at any time of year.

This cabin is immaculate in so many ways, the craftmanship, its location, the feeling of security as its located on private property, the hosts are amazing and genuinely interested in your stay being the best it can be, and you can walk down to the rivers edge and fish all day!!!Plus Waynesville is one of the best if not THE best town in WNC.
