About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Directly overlooking the River, Swimming, Tubing, Fire Pit, Grill, Wi-Fi.

Nestled along the scenic banks of the South Toe River, our secluded cabin offers a tranquil retreat amidst the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. From the moment you arrive, you'll be captivated by the serene ambiance and breathtaking views that surround you.

Step onto the expansive deck, where panoramic vistas of the river unfold before your eyes. Here, an outdoor dining table and grill await, providing the perfect setting for enjoying meals with family and friends while soaking in the sights and sounds of nature. Whether you're savoring a leisurely breakfast as the sun rises over the water or hosting a barbecue dinner under the stars, every moment spent on the deck is an opportunity to reconnect and unwind.

Adjacent to the deck, a cozy fire pit beckons, surrounded by Adirondack chairs where you can gather around to share stories and toast marshmallows as the flames dance merrily in the night. The warmth of the fire and the soothing sounds of the river create an atmosphere of relaxation and camaraderie, perfect for creating lasting memories with loved ones.

Nearby, a hammock sways gently in the breeze, inviting you to kick back and relax as you listen to the gentle murmur of the river passing by. It's the ideal spot for afternoon naps or lazy afternoons spent with a good book, surrounded by the beauty of nature.

Inside the cabin, rustic charm meets modern comfort. Two cozy bedrooms offer restful nights of sleep, while a well-appointed bathroom provides all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. After a day of outdoor adventure, return to the cabin to unwind in the inviting living area, complete with plush furnishings and a cozy fireplace.

Outside, a fenced yard provides a safe and secure space for children and pets to play, while the private beach area on the river offers endless opportunities for swimming, fishing, tubing, and kayaking. For those seeking further exploration, hiking trails and the natural beauty of Mount Mitchell State Park are just a short drive away, promising even more adventures amidst the stunning scenery of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Whether you're seeking relaxation, adventure, or simply a chance to reconnect with nature, our riverfront cabin offers the perfect escape. Come experience the beauty and tranquility of riverside living and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Please Note: There's a small convenience station about 2 1/2 miles up the road on the left from the cabin. They offer tube rentals so that you can float down the river. Easily accessible, this property faces a street and a mountain view out front, but is extremely quiet and private in the back. The towns of Burnsville and Spruce Pine, Mt Mitchell State Park and Golf course, Carolina Hemlocks, waterfalls, and hiking trails are within a ten to thirty minute drive, while Asheville, Grandfather Mountain and Blowing Rock are all easy day trips.

Our trip to North Carolina was great. We planned our location because of the proximity to Asheville and Johnson City TN to visit with family in both locations. The VRBO was peaceful along the river and was a great location for us.

Beautiful river property
The best thing about this house was the river! Loved sitting on the deck enjoying the river. House was very clean. Noise from the road was disconcerting— cars fly down that road. Regardless of the noise, still enjoyed the stay.

Nice vacation spot
We had a wonderful vacation- the location was close to the cute little town of Burnsville and hiking trails. We had fun in the river and even tubed from Carolina Hemlock Recreation Area down to the house. The kitchen was well stocked and king size bed was really comfortable!

Cozy on the River
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this location this past weekend and the host was very accommodating and kind! The view on the porch was amazing and so relaxing. The house felt cozy like home and had all the accommodations that I needed. I definitely look forward to staying here again and next time when it's warmed up so I can hop in the river.

Not perfect but perfectly suitable. It is situated a little too close to main road, so there are road noises, but super easy access well makes up for that. We would most certainly choose to stay there again.
