Riverbend Cabin! A Luxurious New Private Waterfront Log Cabin.

Whether it’s relaxation, a trip to downtown Asheville or Waynesville, fishing, hiking or just a peaceful stay on a beautiful bend of the river that you are looking for then this is the place for your vacation! Please refer to our other cabin listing Paradise at the Rivers Edge! to see our reviews. This cabin just like our Paradise Cabin, is unlike any cabin you will see anywhere. This perfect getaway sits on a 65 acre private estate located in the heart of the Great
Smoky Mountains. The setting makes you feel like you are in the backcountry or out west yet you are just minutes away from downtown Asheville or Waynesville and everything this area has to offer. We are only 1 mile from I-40 Exit 24 and 25 miles to downtown Asheville and The Biltmore Estate. You only need to make a mere 10 minute drive to enjoy all that Downtown Waynesville has to offer from fine dining to some of the areas best local breweries. The Blue Ridge Parkway cuts right through this area and you are just minutes away from several of its entrances.

After more than 20 years of dismantling old barns and log cabins and hoarding away the kinds of things you can’t just run out to the local building supply and buy, this unique property started to take shape. From the hand hewn solid oak log walls to the tobacco stick handrails this is a one of a kind getaway. All the woodwork and trim in the cabin is reclaimed from barns that were built 100 plus years ago by the owners great grandfather and has been transformed into what you will see in this truly unique property! All the flooring is salvaged from blizzard grade locust trees from the surrounding high mountains and made into a beautiful plank floor. Whether you want to bring the family or have just a private romantic getaway for your honeymoon/anniversary, this is a cabin unlike any other you will find.

Fishing this area is a big attraction so bring your fishing poles and get lost in the beauty of the western North Carolina mountains. Walk out the front door and down to the river and be fishing within minutes of your arrival.

The cabin offers a master suite with a handcrafted locust king size bed with pillow top mattress on the main level with a private bathroom and large tile shower. The upstairs bedroom has a queen size bed with pillow top mattress and it’s own bathroom. The loft area is well equipped with a full size sofa pullout sleeper overlooking the living area. There is also a queen size sleeper sofa in the living area. The kitchen has most everything for your cooking needs.. The living area is equipped with a large flat screen television and a fireplace/entertainment center. Both bedrooms also have flat screen as well. The cabin has Direct Now internet television as well as WiFi. With one bedroom and bathroom upstairs and one bedroom and bathroom downstairs it is a perfect spot for two couples to have plenty of privacy. Open up the huge glass doors and let the lullaby of the river coming around the bend echo through the cabin. Don’t forget the front porch where you will want to spend most of your time taking in the view and listening to the soothing sounds of nature. Watch closely for the huge cranes, hawks, geese, ducks and bald eagles that patrol the river. With the cabin being on the rivers edge you will most likely see some type of wildlife during your stay, there are coyotes, turkeys, deer, bear, squirrels, etc. Don’t be surprised to wake up to the cattle walking by just outside in the morning. With the long range Mountain View driveway leading to the cabin and the waterfront location this is a truly one of a kind property.

This cabin is home to more than fifty head of cattle so pets are not allowed at any time during your stay here. Also smoking is not allowed in the house but the porch and outside areas are allowed. Please discard cigarettes responsibly as there are dry leaves in heavily wooded areas surrounding the cabin.

With four unique private log cabins available now....Riverbend Cabin (listing number 7843149), Paradise Cabin (listing number 1148597), Cedar Cliff Cabin (listing number 2232038) and Castaway Cabin (listing number 3156188) please don’t hesitate to message us regarding multiple cabin rentals for your family getaway.

Our stay at the Riverbend Cabin exceeded our expectations. It didn't feel like a rental, it felt like a home. The view of the river was amazing. Nestled nicely in the woods but close to shops and trails. Very clean and nicely decorated, no detail was overlooked. Jack and Christy were so accommodating. Can't wait to return!

Wonderful Place to Stay!

The cabin was absolutely beautiful, especially all of the decorations for autumn. One of our favorite things was sitting on the front porch, enjoying the river and the gorgeous fall leaves. The hosts were so kind and we were thrilled to be able to stay there so soon after Hurricane Helene. We hope to return again soon! I’m

Second Trip to Riverbend Cabin

This was our second trip to the Riverbend Cabin and this time we brought our daughters. They had a great time in the river and we did a lot of exploring in nearby towns. The cabin and property is beautiful. The owners are amazing and are very easy to communicate with. We had a wonderful trip and will be back to visit again!

Amazing stay at Riverbend Cabin

The property was gorgeous; it was truly paradise. The cabin was very nice and had everything we needed for our stay. We felt right at home. The view from the porch was beautiful and so relaxing to sit and enjoy the view. We also loved the surrounding area and enjoyed exploring the area which had so many things to offer. The owners were so nice and accommodating, we would definitely stay at Riverbend again.

Right on the river!

This place was amazing! Little touches every where inside the cabin were spot on. The fire pit was great at night. Between the 4 of us we never looked at our phones or turned a tv on the whole time we were on the property. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely come back to this beautiful place!

Riverbed Cabin

This cabin exceeded our expectations and is even better than the pictures! Beautifully located right on the river with waterfalls in view. We honestly could have stayed the whole time on the front porch just relaxing and listening to the flowing river. Not only is it beautifully located but it is also immaculate and has everything you could possibly need and more. The owners, Jack and Christy, built this cabin along with the others with absolutely exceptional craftsmanship. The reclaimed wood throughout the cabin is just stunning! It's very obvious they take great pride in the care and maintenance of their properties. We had the pleasure of meeting Jack and Christy, and they couldn't have been more accommodating . We look forward to returning again soon!

Short but sweet

We booked this cabin last minute for a quick getaway and it was amazing. The cabin itself is so beautiful and exactly what I was looking for. Super relaxing on the river! We have 2 teenage boys that love to fish so they spent a lot of time down by the water while my husband, daughter and I hung on the porch or by the fire. Jack and Christy were wonderful hosts. Cabin was super clean and has EVERYTHING you can possibly need in the kitchen. I was super impressed! We will def be back!!

Magnificent

This was such a wonderful property! The house was just fantastic. The location was magical. It is a great location, close to a bigger town/city, but also so isolated and relaxing. It was perfect for just relaxing and having fun with the family outside. The river view was just so fun and amazing. The owners are so pleasant and were available if we needed. We are hoping to get back to this location again!

Unbelievable Vacation Cabin!

Cabin was located on a beautiful flowing river, rapids and waterfalls in view. Cabin was truly outstanding, beautiful log construction with all the amenities, right down to fishing poles! What really made this stay so enjoyable, were the hosts, Jack and Crissy. They dropped by to welcome us to the cabin and made sure everything was to our liking. True southern hospitality. Everything was perfect. You will not be disappointed! Thanks again!

If you love the sound of rushing water on the river, this is the place for you. It was secluded but close to town. Absolutely gorgeous. Your hosts are wonderful. The cabin and surrounding property are just beautiful. We will come back for sure. We knew we had chosen right when the six year old the 10 year-old and the 12-year-old all said how beautiful it is.

The cabin and river are amazing!

We stayed at Riverbend Cabin for 8 days to celebrate my birthday and our 40th wedding anniversary. The cabin is even better than the pictures, and the Pigeon River is amazing! We spent so much time on the porch just relaxing, listening to the river, watching the wildlife, and waiting for the cows to make their daily visits. Waynesville is our favorite little town and Jack and Christy are amazing hosts. We stayed at Paradise on our last visit, and were so impressed we had to come stay again. For our needs Riverbend was an even better choice, but all of their cabins are amazing! They are immaculate and have everything you could possibly need. The location is a short drive to town, but when you are by that river you feel far away from it all!

Amazing cabin and beautiful river!!!

I wish I could give this cabin more than 5 stars! Every year my family has a Christmas getaway and we have had many rentals but Riverbed Cabin by far has to be one of the best. The cabin is beautifully constructed in a perfect location and is so nicely decorated. The owners are perfect hosts, very easy to communicate and respond to any questions very quickly. Jack came down to introduce himself and see if there was anything that we needed or didn’t have for our stay. This was the first time in all our stays through VRBO that the owners made time to meet us and talk for just a few min. This place is so peaceful, private, and quiet, yet you are close to so much. We loved our time on the porch, drinking our morning coffee and our evenings roasting marshmallows and drinking wine listening to the river. It is centrally located and very accessible to Asheville, Waynesville, Great Smokey Mountains National Park and The Blue Ridge Parkway and yet the location makes it seem you are away from it all. Our experience was so wonderful the we have already been planning another stay, hopefully during this summer!

Sanctuary!!

I am reluctant to tell others how amazing this cabin is because I don't want it to be booked next time I want to go...which is next week. LOL. From the moment you enter the property, you know this place is something special. You see the beautiful farm with cows, horses, and tons of beautiful trees. When you arrive at the Riverbend Cabin, you see the rushing water of the Pigeon River flowing over the rocks and the sound instantly calms you. As you enter the front porch, you will immediately see that a lot of thought was put into building and decorating this space. The reclaimed wood throughout the home is exquisite and rare. This was really special since my husband works in the millwork industry and we knew that Jack built this cabin himself with exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. The interior has everything you could want and more. Jack and Christy even took the time to leave me a birthday card, bottle of wine, and a chocolate cake!!! I was astounded. The cabin was decorated for Fall and was absolutely gorgeous, spacious, and delightful with a full view of the river through the front glass doors and windows. Every time I walked into the room, it felt like I was in a movie. And, if that wasn't enough; Jack brought us firewood to ensure that we had plenty for the fire pit. Every conversation with Jack was genuinely friendly and so helpful when trying to decide where to eat, etc. He was such a pleasure to talk to. We feel like old friends. We WILL be back. XXXOOO
