About the host
Hosted by Jeanna & Erik Engstrom
My husband Erik and I both grew up in the Hudson Valley, New York region. We enjoy the outdoors, our horses, fishing, and sitting by the river with a book.
We are your next-door neighbors and are always available should you need something.

Why they chose this property
The Riverhouse is your true gateway to over 4700 acres of pristine Pisgah National Forest land. Leisure walks or hiking right out the front door to and beyond Elk River Falls, North Carolina.
Bring mountain bikes or E-bikes, which you can ride for miles down the wide and relatively unknown trails that border our property. Connect to the Appalachian Trail a couple of miles in, and it's possible that you may not encounter anyone on your outing.
