I want to say this was an amazing cabin on the river. The view was spectacular and the host well couldn’t have been more professional and helpful. They ask several times if we needed anything. I highly recommend this Cabin on the river. To the host thank you all so much for making us feel welcome and at home. We throughly enjoyed ourselves, and can’t wait to come back.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautifully decorated home. It is perfectly located to be able to walk to restraunts and bars in Dillsborro. Very cozy with great views and right at the junction of Scott Creek and the River!

What a great stay! We were celebrating an anniversary and couldn't have asked for a more comfortable and romantic place.We loved the space and the location. The front porch with gas fire pit was a great place to the start and finish the day.The riverfront location lets you watch adventurers start off from the nearby river put-in. It's walkable to the Dillsboro downtown cluster but a hell of an intersection to walk across. Super short drive to Sylva.We were in the area to enjoy the outdoors and relax in comfort otherwise, and this checked every box. We'd absolutely return.

The only thing bad I can say is that I killed 12 stink bugs in the second story bedroom. And that the fireplace mantle on the first floor is not attached and can fall off if you touch it

Hi Ralph, We are sooooo sorry you had to experience the stink bugs.....I didn't see any when I cleaned the house! We will definitely address that. Thank you for bringing the mantel to our attention...I securely attached it. We hope you had a pleasant stay other than those issues!!! It's very important to us that our guest have a wonderful experience! We hoe you come back again!!! Thank you again for the feedback!

What a hidden gem! Twisted River Cabin is a perfect little getaway “tucked” in right by the Tuck! The cabin is a perfect blend of being close to town but has the feel of being secluded by the river as well. Merely a minute drive to downtown Dillsboro, this cabin has a king bed for the adults, and a loft area with room for the teens/kids with their own separate bath. The cabin is so cozy but yet has space for you to stretch out-including a great front porch to sit, watch and listen to the river. You also have a great side porch for outdoor dining with a new gas grill that is a great size. Vikki and Anita were wonderful to work with great communication and attention to details! They made us feel so welcomed! We will definitely be back!
