truely sanitary in a short term rental so I'm sorry we don’t offer a Hottub.)

You will enjoy sitting in the great room with windows all around or out on the deck or down around our riverside fire pit to see beautiful upriver & downriver views & one of The Last authentic Great Smoky Steam Engines go by along with Nantahala River Whitewater Adventurers, Fly fisherman and abundant wildlife. The tranquility and peacefulness of the River House can't be beat for a relaxing stay.

renowned “moonshine loop” from Deals Gap. Covered parking for 2 cars or
plenty of motorcycles! Whittier (next town) has 3 Golf courses! .

RiverHouse is great for an ‘UNPLUGGED’ get away BUT, be aware -***The internet

We have lots of videos available or bring your favorite movie on disk to watch on our 4 foot flatscreen TV. We highly recommend you print out directions and check-in information - reception in the mountains is spotty for all cell and GPS devises, Siri and your other guidance devises are unlikely to work as you are accustomed to! Mostly we hope you enjoy an 'unplugged' vacation - if you haven’t tried it in a while- give it a try- nothing beats it!!

phone number in your reservation request it will be delayed* until we have a
phone contact to reach you. ***please note** no campers or tents allowed!

are only available for 3 month non-refundable minimum rental and security
deposit is required.*
With the extra time required to sanitize all surfaces between guest stays we must
strictly adhere to checkout by 10:00 am and normally cannot complete the
cleaning prior to the 4:00 checkin time. Thanks for your understanding.

    The cabin is great. Nicer than in the pictures. Just on the shores of the rivers. All the facilities worked well. Nolan our host was extremely helpful and nice. Its the perfect place to relax and only 30 minutes away from great smoky mountains National park. We firmly recommend staying here!

    This place is fabulous ! Everything was perfect. Nothing better than sitting on the deck watching the water go by. And briefly talking to rafters as they went by.

    I don't think the location can be beat - riverside and peaceful. The extensive descriptions of the property are accurate. Everything you need from a comfy place for a nice weekend boating.

    The cabin is located right on the Nantahala river. We went for trout fishing. Unfortunately the river was held high for our entire trip, so fishing was not good there. I suspect it was due to the flooding in NC, but I don't know that for certain. If you are going to trout fish behind the cabin be sure to check water level plans with Duke Energy in advance (if possible). That said, there are numerous other rivers to fish within a 30 minute drive. The cabin is old, and not as nice as in the photos (much older than the photos) BUT it has everything you need, the beds are comfortable, and everything works! You can't say that for many VRBO stays. The house, while old, was VERY clean. This was one of the best hosts I have ever worked with. He called prior to discuss our needs. He communicated extremely well, and I felt comfortable speaking with him. So, if you are looking for an upscale vacation spot on a river, this is not the place for you. But if you don't mind an old house that does the job in an absolutely beautiful location, then this will definitely work. I would call it a fishermans/hikers/outdoors person's place. We enjoyed our stay.

    The Nantahala River House was just what our family was looking for. It has a beautiful view of the river; cozy and comfortable accommodations; and a convenient location.

    If you’re looking for a place “on the river” you won’t get closer than here. Breathtaking views and the peaceful surroundings make this a fantastic spot to unwind, and unplug. Our children 7,8, 9, spent the trip catching fireflies and playing in the river. There was no begging for a tablet, TV, or video game. The only negative to our visit was having to head home. Can’t wait to come back.
