The home has direct river access on one of NC's premier fly fishing rivers! Fishing, kayaking, tubing and more can be done right from your backyard. Stone steps under the old maple tree take you right down into the water for easy access in and out while fishing, tubing, or kayaking.

Fire pit out back feet from the river where you can roast marshmallows with family and friends.

An amazing week in the mountains in the summer with the fam. Our kids were able to play in the river, and Slyva, Dillsboro and Cashiers were close enough to enjoy surrounding areas, too. Super clean and great communication with the host!

If you’re looking to unplug and unwind this is the place!! This home is very beautiful, tucked away in a quiet neighborhood located in between Bryson City and Cashiers, NC. The screened porch was my favorite, I would take a cup of coffee, sit out there every morning and listen to the river. It was a highlight of our trip. Emily and Ward are great hosts and if we are ever back in Cullowhee I’d love to stay here again!

We are from Charlotte, NC. My husband and our two children have always loved vacationing in the Western NC mountains. We love tubing down the Tuck, fly fishing, and hiking around the area. My husband went to WCU so it made sense to settle on a place here!
