Down by the River is a picturesque three-bedroom, three-bath cabin offers a unique blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. This idyllic retreat, with its prime riverfront location, embodies a perfect harmony between nature's splendor and human craftsmanship. Its design and setting create a sanctuary that invites relaxation, rejuvenation, and a deep connection with the natural world.

A spacious, open concept living area serves as the heart of the cabin, where the kitchen, dining, and living spaces flow together effortlessly. The interior features high, exposed wood ceilings and a beautiful stone fireplace, which serves as both a focal point and a source of cozy warmth during cooler months. The natural wood finishes and earthy tones used throughout the cabin enhance the feeling of being nestled in nature, creating a tranquil environment that is both elegant and unpretentious.

Each of the three bedrooms is a private haven designed for relaxation and comfort. The master suite, located on the upper floor, features a luxurious ensuite bathroom with a large walk-in shower. The other two bedrooms, situated on the main level and lower level each have bathrooms nearby, ensuring privacy and comfort for all guests. These rooms are thoughtfully designed with comfortable furnishings, ensuring that every guest enjoys a restful and rejuvenating stay.

The lower- level spacious living area featuring a pool table and wet bar—perfect for relaxing after a day of outdoor adventures. You can enjoy some friendly competition at the pool table, then whip up drinks at the wet bar.

Step outside to the back porch where you’ll find a hot tub waiting for you. Imagine soaking in the warm, bubbling water while taking in the serene natural surroundings. Whether it’s under the stars or with a scenic view, that hot tub is sure to be a highlight.

This charming retreat not only provides a sanctuary of comfort and relaxation but also boasts a unique feature that distinguishes it from other getaways—the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway, gracefully traverses through the backyard. The train’s presence in the is both a visual and auditory delight. The rhythmic sound of the train’s whistle and the gentle clatter of wheels on rails create a harmonious backdrop to the tranquil environment of the cabin.

The cabin’s layout maximizes its riverfront location, with outdoor living spaces that extend the enjoyment of the natural surroundings. A spacious screened deck, complete with comfortable seating will be the highlight of time spent outdoors. Two outdoor fire pits, one riverfront, adds a touch of magic to the evenings, inviting guests to unwind under the stars while listening to the soothing sounds of the river.
