About this property

Riverfront Log Cabin w/ Private Waterfall, Firepit & Panoramic Deck

Reconnect with nature and refresh your spirit at our charming riverfront log cabin, nestled in the serene mountains of North Carolina. With 3 cozy bedrooms—including a downstairs master suite and two spacious loft bedrooms—our cabin comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests, making it perfect for romantic getaways, small groups, or intimate family retreats.

Inside, enjoy a relaxing ambiance with a classic wood-burning furnace, central air and heat for comfort year-round, and high-speed Wi-Fi to keep you connected. The living area is stocked with books, a Smart TV with an old-school DVD player, and comfortable spaces ideal for unwinding after a day exploring the outdoors.

Step outside onto the panoramic deck overlooking your own private waterfall, an exceptional feature that provides the perfect backdrop for sipping morning coffee or stargazing at night. Enjoy the soothing sounds of cascading water, or gather around the firepit for memorable evenings roasting marshmallows and sharing stories. Relax in rocking chairs or the swinging couples' chair as you take in the peaceful, creekside atmosphere.

The cabin is perfectly positioned alongside the Reddies River, renowned locally for its stocked rainbow trout fishing—beginners and seasoned fisher alike find success here (locals recommend corn as bait!). While there are no official trails, guests love walking along the riverbank or exploring nearby gravel roads.

Our location offers easy access to notable attractions and events: grocery stores and restaurants (including our favorite local Mexican spot, Plaza Del Sol) are just 15-20 minutes away. Many guests book stays around local music festivals such as MerleFest, Brushy Mountain Apple Festival, and Carolina in the Fall Festival. You're also within easy reach of the Blue Ridge Parkway, Scott Kerr Lake, Appalachian Ski Resort (1 hour), Boone/Appalachian State University (45 minutes), Linville Caverns (1.5 hours), and Asheville's Biltmore Estate (2 hours).

We provide everything you need—including linens, towels, kitchen utensils, and a coffee machine—to ensure your stay is stress-free. Discover why guests return year after year for the ultimate getaway: relaxation, family bonding, and unforgettable connections with nature.

Note: Exterior security cameras are present on the property for added security. During winter months, a 4-wheel drive vehicle is recommended due to potential snow and icy conditions.

Great location, underwhelming property

The listing is very deceptive, when we walked in there were cobwebs and stuff covering the floor. We had to sweep just to walk without shoes. When we went to take a shower upstairs it smelled like the inside of a barn, they also have an ant problem and it happens to be over that shower. When we couldn’t get into the first gate, it took 3 plus hours to get a response from the host. The only good thing about the property is the closeness to the creek. I wish the best of luck to anyone trying to stay here in the future and hope the hosts do a better job with proper upkeep.

Beautiful hideaway!

The location is great! We were right next to the creek and got to walk along side and wade in the cool water. The inside was very nice and cozy so my friends and I were able to relax. The kitchen was very nice. Overall we had a very nice stay and would highly recommend this place! Just an fyi, the bedrooms on the upper floor don’t have doors, but they worked just fine for us.

WE love your set up, however several are prettified of spiders in house, mice droppings and bug on bedspreads. The creek was awesome and the fire pit, however the multitude of insects/bugs was somewhat overwhelming. I think you are good hosts, however the cleaning is subpar for new guests and first time impression. The mice droppings were in kitchen drawers, which made a difficult comfort zone for eating. Thank you for the stay, however we did not have a great first impression. Sincerely, V Scott Lamm victorslamm@gmail.com

Cute getaway

The house was nice, many cooking supplies available, soft beds, wifi works IN THE HOUSE. Do not expect to pull up the codes at the end of the driveway. You will need to turn around the way you came to get signal. I didn’t see cleaning notes or rules “everywhere” There are a few but nothing crazy. The shower is definitely small. Like don’t plan on shaving your legs unless you are young and vey flexible or stick your leg out of the shower stall. Im 5ft 5 and could put my back on one wall and touch the other. The very cool potty helps make up for it with a bidet, heated seat and tushy drier. Most hi tech toilet I’ve ever seen. The water fall was great and if you are adventurous (and athletic) you can buy some tubes off Amazon for river tubing and hang out there all day. To the right of the waterfall is a great spot to swim, but wear watershoes as you never know whats floated down. There’s a big boulder you can slide down on the tube but you have to walk up the mossy rocks on the house side, because climbing up the waterfalls almost impossible unless you attach your tow rope to the tree across the stream. If you plan in jumping in, swim the area first so you don't get hurt. Some spots are over your head and some are a few feet. The current just pulls you in a circle unless you don’t pay attention and go down stream for a ride. The drive way is 1 mile and if you’re there in winter snow will need 4WD. Not much sun gets in house. Looks like 5am when 10am.

Pretty but Renter beware! This place comes with literally a laundry list of do’s and don’ts!

Property needs to be managed better! There are some very nice things about the property that are completely overshadowed by the bad. Smelled of moth balls (or something) upon entry and throughout! You must pay cleaning fee that seems to be nonexistent. Poor communication. We received three emails from the property each one adding more cleaning duties upon checkout! When I attempted to contact the PM no one responded back to me. When I see dust on appliances, sticky drippings on the counter and in refrigerator, cob webs in the corner of the bathroom, and sheets still in the dryer when I went to fulfill my checkout cleaning duties, it seems apparent they are charging cleaning fees and then not providing a service. Updates needed also. Fan above main bedroom has a sticker on the chain that states not to exceed low speed. That’s because it’s old and way out of balance so it shakes like it’s going to fall off the ceiling! Take the time & the very small amount of money to fix/replace it! Strip beds, wash, dry, fold sheets and comforters. Take garbage out to main can at street which is out two gates about maybe a mile away. Clean all sinks, no hair, no toothpaste, mop, sweep, and vacuum inside. Clean off porch and stairs…..the list goes on to include a note written on the bottom of the inside of the garbage to remove any crumbs! I mean COME ON! So you better wake up early on the day of check out to get it all done! This madness, for us, it took away from how awesome the place could be. I guess we could have just not done any of it, but that is not how I was raised! I try to respect other peoples property but for this reason I will not recommend or return. Gates were a bit tedious as there is a main gate with 4 locks and a key box. Had some issues figuring the key box and lock combo but once we got through that the signs to the cabin were easy to follow to the second gate which had a key pad to enter. No problem there until you go to leave at checkout you must exit your vehicle, walk around the gate (as we did with our bag of garbage) and use the keypad to get out. At least it wasn’t raining on us. Keypad on both sides would be nice. no ice trays! Oh and the bathrooms are small. Small seats, small sinks, one only shower and it’s small. Would have loved to have given this a better rating but 2star is the best I can do. Was afraid to make a fire or use anything extra at the place because I would be expected to service and clean afterwards. Hard to enjoy!

OFF THE GRID. 1 mile driveway leads to your own personal mountain cottage right next to a beautiful creek with three waterfalls house is well appointed even some extra kitchen items that were super helpful during our stay. Driving back out to the grocery store is a solid 45 minutes thank you so much for the coffee filters, salt and pepper, extra seasonings, no dishwasher, except for yours truly, but all other kitchen appliances provided were amazing. Bidets in both bathrooms should be mentioned as they surprised us. Would definitely recommend home and have already sent the listing to multiple friends.

So many things to mention…fishing and playing in the river, relaxing on the porch, roasting marshmallows by the fire, enjoying the privacy and seclusion of the property (we literally saw no other people while we were there), fully stocked kitchen, linens provided.

NASCAR Allstar Race trip

My husband and I stayed for a long weekend. The cabin was about 40 minutes from the track, though it is only about 10 miles away. The accommodations were exactly as listed, comfortable, and the sound of the water was incredibly relaxing. You are not super close to anything so ensure that you have your food and other staples with you before making the trek to the house (20 - 25 minutes to grocery stores). Everyone that we met was so kind and helpful! Definitely a great example of southern hospitality.

Great Family Getaway

My family enjoyed this property immensely. A secluded cabin in the woods but with all the comforts of home made everyone happy. My husband enjoyed fishing in the river while the kid explored the shoreline and rock hunted. We made outdoor campfires and s’mores, and snuggled up by the indoor fireplace with books. Be aware it is a long driveway, so any plans out and about take a bit longer. The Food Lion in Millers Creek is about a 20 minute drive.

Secluded escape

We had a blast. Off the beaten path is an understatement. The driveway from the main road is 1.4 miles of winding roads and plenty of signage to point to the right cabin at the end of the drive. A 4 wheel drive vehicle would be recommended! The gated entry both at the road and the cabin itself provided increased security. Great WiFi, no cell service.(Verizon). River views are breathtaking! Hands on experience with kids, not a sit and watch. Life jackets for kids are a must if they cannot swim. Some areas are deep. Overall, great experience. Clean and well maintained. We’re definitely going back!

Beautiful Oasis in the forest

We had a wonderful time refreshing in the woods. The road in is treacherous but well maintained and the cabin is lovely. We went for numerous walks on the property, spent a cozy day inside while Hurricane Debby whipped through and went for a beautiful hike at Rendezvous Mountain State Park. We loved hearing and playing in the river and found a bunch of critters during our stay. I wish there were actual hiking trails on the property, we just walked the roads because we didn't see any but it was still a great escape and not too far from town if you need something. Thanks for sharing your cabin with us!

We are a family of four. This spot is one of our favorite vacation places because when we are here, we are united and nothing interferes with that good old-fashioned family togetherness.

Why they chose this property

When we first saw this cabin and its surroundings we were stunned by the beauty and magnificence there. It looked like something you would only see in a painting. It is truly a hidden paradise that we have found.

What makes this property unique

The energetic river is very soothing to gaze at and to listen to. The motion of the river seems to relax the mind, body, and soul. Truly a unique part of staying at our cabin.
