We are proud to offer River Rock Cabin as a brand new listing for 2023! Open to responsible couples and small families/groups, you'll love the location and super comfy feel of this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath private cabin. The cabin comfortably accommodates 6 guests, but is also nicely sized for smaller groups and even couples wanting a little more room to spread out.

★ LOCATION ★
The cabin's prime but peaceful location sits on an easily accessible paved dead-end road less than a half-mile to US-64, a main route for getting you quickly to all area activities and attractions. No narrow, winding, gravel mountain roads need to be traveled.

★ INDOOR LIVING ★
The cabin’s welcoming interior is open, brightly lit and features a mix of quality mountain rustic and modern appointments. The feeling of quality, warmth and coziness is felt immediately upon entering, providing a sense of satisfaction that you made the right choice for your mountain getaway.
The open main floor features the living, dining and kitchen areas along with the master bedroom, gorgeous master bath, a walk-in closet, laundry room and a guest bathroom. You’ll find on the upper level two more bedrooms and a spacious bathroom with double sinks.

★ SLEEPING ★
The main floor master bedroom and rear upper bedroom are furnished with rustic solid wood king beds while the front upper bedroom contains a solid wood queen bed. All beds are furnished with quality memory foam mattresses.

★ KITCHEN ★
The fully equipped modern kitchen features granite countertops and full-sized stainless steel appliances, including a refrigerator, dishwasher, stove, microwave and other kitchen appliances perfect for making breakfast, lunch or dinner throughout your stay! All pots, pans, glasses, plates, silverware, etc. are also there for you. There is a bright, roomy dining area located right off the kitchen with access to the side deck and gas grill. Additional seating can be found at the breakfast bar.

★ OUTDOOR LIVING ★
Outside, you'll find inviting covered porches on the front and back, plus a side deck for grilling and al fresco dining. All outdoor areas are furnished with ample seating. A porch swing on the rear porch overlooking the mountains will quickly become your favorite spot in the cabin. A gas fire pit table and warm party lights, both also found on the rear porch, heat up the ambience after the sun has set.

Here is a list of the many items we provide: bath/kitchen towels, bed linens, cookware, dishes, flatware, cooking utensils, dish soap, hand soap, foil, cooking spray, S&P, coffee, Keurig K-cups, coffee filters, paper towels, napkins, toilet paper, Kleenex, trash bags, laundry and dishwasher detergent, dryer sheets, hair dryers, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and more!

For our guests with mountain or road bikes, we offer secure bike storage in an unfinished, high clearance, well lit crawl space area accessible from the outside. A hose is provided for bike washing.

Perfect Mountain Getaway
This house was so incredibly nice, clean, and spacious. And the back porch was my favorite place to sit and read. I rented this place for a short weekend work trip, but I cannot wait to come back for a longer stay. Thank you! Chase

Perfect Cabin!
I've been renting cabins in the Western NC mountains a few times a year for 25 years and this is the cleanest cabin I have ever seen. It is also well stocked and up to date in every way. Just of Hwy 64, but secluded with a view of a valley over the river. Close to both Hendersonville and Brevard. There is an Ingles grocery just a couple miles away. The hosts were quick to communicate and very gracious. This was a solo business trip, but I promised my wife I'd bring her here on vacation soon.

About the host

Hosted by Ron & Kathy

Host profile image
We’re native Ohioans now residing in western North Carolina. In-between those two states we lived in Estes Park, CO for two years. We are avid hikers and wildlife watchers so you can say the mountains are in our blood!

We’ve been in the vacation rental business for 19+ years, so we like to think we’ve learned a thing or two about what it takes to provide a quality lodging experience for our guests. We started Terra Bella Vacation Rentals in NC after our move from Colorado. In spring of 2024, we will be expanding into the Smoky Mountains with a rustic log cabin vacation rental in Gatlinburg.

We are very excited to share our properties with other outdoor-loving couples, small families & groups, and we're confident our properties will offer you that comfortable home-away-from-home experience you are seeking for your mountain getaway, whether that be here in North Carolina or the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee!

Why they chose this property

We purchased this cottage for many reasons. One being its condition - nearly brand new - and the level of quality of its construction. The builder is one of the best in the area. We also love its location. The cottage is so close to so many cool towns, activities and attractions. Literally, head out in any direction from the cottage and you will find so much to do, and just minutes away!

We also like that the cottage is less than a half-mile to US-64, which is a main route through the area. We're happy, and we think our guests will be to, that time is not wasted traveling gravel, narrow and winding roads to reach it. We're also excited the future Ecusta Trail will pass just below the cottage. The ET is an old railroad bed being converted to a multi-use trail that will connect the towns of Hendersonville and Brevard.
