River paradise
Beautiful and comfortable home in a private, gated community. If you’re looking for activities on the river, fishing and hiking, this place is great. Literally steps away from the Nantahala river. Beautiful outdoor deck overlooking the river. Wall-to-wall windows, allowing amazing views of the river and mountains. We love to cook family meals while away and this kitchen is amazing. State of the art everything! Close to Bryson City too for a nice day excursion. Can’t wait to come back!!

Words cannot describe!
This property is absolutely amazing!! The owners thought of everything, such attention to detail! The views from every room were incredible, through gorgeous, huge windows. All rooms are very spacious, and we each had our own bedroom AND bathroom! The kitchen was well-stocked with oils and spices, which was a nice treat. We loved our strolls in the neighborhood with morning coffee, and gathering at the river around the fire pit in the evening. We had such a great time!

Enjoy the natural surroundings, inside and out!
We had the most wonderful time!! Besides being able to fish right from the yard, the property is amazing! It’s large with a fire pit right on the river, has a nature path immediately adjacent, and is big enough for all kinds of fun and games! The house is also spacious with an easy, open floor plan and windows, windows everywhere. You feel part of nature! And we thoroughly enjoyed the cozy fireplace (it’s an easy gas fireplace). Teens and parents alike appreciated that each bedroom has its own bathroom (which are beautiful). The kitchen had all the supplies we wanted to cook meals at home, and we made good use of the wine fridge! We can’t wait to come back!!

Absolutely Stunning Thanksgiving Stay
The River Nook is absolutely perfect! The owners took great care in designing it with beautiful glass all throughout to ensure you always have a stunning view of the Nantahala River. We were lucky enough to be one of the first families that stayed here. I was a bit worried they might not have everything we needed to prepare our Thanksgiving dinner. I ended up bringing everything for no reason. They even had plastic bags, spices, olive oil, I could keep going on. Extremely gracious hosts. The inside is beautifully designed and decorated very modern. The land itself the house is on is so stunning. We had fun for the time we were home at the house fly fishing, rock hunting, and just enjoying the views. I highly recommend this property to anyone that is looking to stay in the area with a luxurious twist. Thanks again for an amazing stay!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Super friendly host and gorgeous, spacious new custom home with expansive views of the creek from every room. The porch, the fire pit by the water, the kitchen appliances, the German doors and windows - all spectacular! We can’t wait to come back!

Mesmeric Mountain Oasis
My brother, sister-in-law, and parents had a very relaxing visit. They all enjoyed the mesmeric movement of the river just steps away from the balcony. The retreat was impeccable. Clean, quiet, and an absolute jewel. Exceptional customer service!
