Awesome cabin

Cabin was awesome. Nice view on the river. Hot tub was great, rooms were clean. The town of hot springs is still recovering from the floods so unfortunately wasn't a lot of places to eat close by that would have been open if not but they ARE rebuilding and will take a lot of time. Few water falls within a hour or two so we went there.

Breathtaking View

The coziest cabin EVER! To say magical is an understatement. The entire landscape was enchanting. We also enjoyed hiking Laurel River which was only 5 minutes away. We left completely relaxed and refreshed from a much needed romantic get-a-way. Thank you for sharing your precious cabin!

River Magic

As advertised, location of cabin and the view were great. Would recommend adding bug spray and binoculars for guest to bring along. Trimming of the landscape around the swing and look out during the summer to open up a better view.

Fantastic Stay

A wonderful time away for a few days. Clean, Quiet, Relaxing. Please be aware however that the road to the cabin is quite steep. We managed fine with a truck but there may be some difficulty for a car with steep incline and loose gravel.

Perfect Get-Away

This is the perfect place to relax, unwind, and unplug. Beautiful cabin with an incredible view and a charming little town. We lost power out first night there due to a storm but the owners and property manager were very responsive and monitored the situation. We will definitely be back!

Hot Springs getaway

The property was perfect for the 2 of us. Simple check in/checkout. Picturesque setting of the mountains and French Broad River. The wood burning fireplace was a special treat. Be sure to bring your own food as you won't want to leave the cabin. Communication with owner was wonderful.

Why they chose this property

River Magic Has the most captivating and amazing views! The location is so special overlooking the French Broad River. It is a mere 1/2 mile from the town of Hot Springs, in a tranquil, quiet setting. It gives a great place to relax and enjoy the river, woods and trails. Come back to the cabin and sit back in the hot tub looking out to the awe inspiring river and mountain views!

You can be to restaurants and shops in less than 5 minutes. The Hot Springs Spa is close by also where you soak in the amazing natural mineral water and have a massage. A great place to ride your bike, fish or boat.

Our desire is to create a quality cabin which reflects all the charm and style of the mountains combined with the comforts and amenities to make your vacation enjoyable and a special experience.

The combination of the majestic river and mountain views is captivating and mesmerizing. What a beautiful place to sit back, relax and take in the views!

What makes this property unique

Unique private location. Just outside the town of Hot Springs with the National Forest, Appalachian Trail, white water rafting, horse back riding, whitewater rafting, kayaking, biking, fishing, etc. all at your doorstep.
