Fish Camp at Waterdance - Log Cabin On The River

Fish Camp at Waterdance is a unique property located on the river in Cullowhee North Carolina. The ultimate nature experience and a bonus if fly fishing for trout is your favorite pastime....you'll have the river all to yourself! Disclaimer - we cannot, for obvious reasons, guarantee that you'll catch any trout. You are more than welcome to bring your furry friend upon approval and there is a $150.00 non refundable pet fee per pet (maximum 2 pets).

NOTE - Recent improvements: The cabin has heat and air-conditioning. There is a new mattress in the master bedroom and the cabin now has high speed, reliable internet via Starlink. There is a full size washer and dryer.

This 2 story, 2 bedroom, 2 bath log cabin has a rustic feel yet is extremely well appointed and meticulously presented - It is still an authentic log cabin and is not airtight, which may result in a visit from a field mouse and such. We do have pest control however that is not 100% a preventative. The main floor includes the living room which has a large wood burning fireplace as well as satellite TV and a DVD player with an extensive DVD library for your enjoyment. We have some board games for rainy days. There is a covered porch off the living room that overlooks the river.

The dining area has a lovely wooden table that seats 6 and is located off the living room and just outside the kitchen. The kitchen has a gas stove and is well equipped for your stay - you will find all the pots and pans, Tupperware, cutlery and crockery that you will need.

The master bedroom is located off the living room and dining area - there is a gas fireplace in the master bedroom - there is a small porch off the master bedroom that overlooks the river (20 feet away!). The master bathroom has a walk in shower as well as a tub with a river view.

The upper level is home to the 2nd bedroom which has 4 twin beds (beds stack up on each other) and the bathroom has a large tub.

OUTDOORS: There is a firepit for your enjoyment. There is a covered pavilion on the waters edge that has a large wood burning fireplace, built in grill and picnic tables that you are able to use.

FISHING: Guests at Fish Camp at Waterdance are allowed to fish upriver as far as they would like and are welcome to fish downriver ONLY AS FAR AS the pavilion. We ask you do not go downriver past the pavilion as that part of the river is controlled by Brookings. Should you desire to have a guide farther down past the pavilion please call and schedule with Brookings.

Don’t hesitate with this house. Prefect in everything. Relaxing and quiet. Just watch the stream roll by. The kitchen was great. Beautfully decorated. Had everything we needed but we did bring our own drip coffee pot as they only had a pod if you need that.

enchanted river
the property and river were magical. The kitchen and bathroom were quaint. the beds were comfortable. it was rustic. the cleanliness was my biggest issue with this property. I spoke with the property manager, and he said that he discussed with the owner and house keepers and is doing what is necessary to improve the cleanliness of property. he was very responsive. With that said, the property was MAGIC. There is something super magical about a river that you can sit in and watch the stars. The whole family enjoyed and tubed and the sound of rushing water all day and night was amazing. I cried as we left... it was deeply healing on that land.

Hidden Gem-Shhhhh!
Exactly as described in the listing. The way a cabin should be. Comfortable, yet with a frontier-rustic charm. Felt like staying in a cabin two hundred years ago. Right on the creek, as described. Great for dogs and people wanting a quiet location surrounded by nature. There wasn't a soul there when I visited. Can hear traffic on the road above, but the creek drowns it out. The big positives? Location-location-location. Away from humans. but close enough to drive to Happs for dinner, or Cashiers. Cashiers is about 20 minutes, while upscale Highlands is a bit further, 30-40 min. The creek was perfection. Place was clean and serene. I didn't see any bugs like other reviews mentioned, but folks, it's a mountain cabin, not a hotel--be realistic. The only negative is the place needs new mattresses as someone else said. Mattresses are worn out-you'll sink to the bottom of the bed. Don't plan on fast internet or cell service, folks. But that was fine by me. if you're a gamer or have kids that need to stream videos to stay busy, maybe not the best location with HughesNet. I have the same internet here in KY and it's a bit slow or non-existent in storms. This place was exactly what I needed to get away with my old dogs. Away from people. Away from work. I truly appreciate this place and the ability to vacation with my old dog(s) and will reserve again and again. I fell in love with it. I wish it was for sale as I'd buy it today. Don't tell anyone about it so it will never change!

Solitude at Waterdance
Fishcamp at Waterdance offered a unique vacation experience for our family. We loved the solitude and privacy and the location was beautiful. We fished (caught two trout), tubed, grilled out and spent a lot of time on the back porch. We were the only ones on the property for the week we were there. The cabin is tastefully appointed and the craftsmanship is superb. While we loved our stay there and would return, we found a few things lacking for a property in this price range. There is no dishwasher and other than dinner plates and bowls there were no serving bowls, platters or serving spoons. There were no wine glasses either. Although the mason jar glasses they have are very cute, we like our wine in a wine glass. We purchased inexpensive items so we could toss a salad and serve appetizers. A set of new kitchen knives, serving utensils and dish towels would be nice. We kept all of our food in the kitchen cabinets and that worked well. The master bedroom mattress needs to be replaced. My husband and I literally met in the middle because we rolled that way. Our days were full and we were usually exhausted by bedtime, so we still got a good night’s sleep. The internet came and went. I recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go and have your contacts do so as well. Have a copy of the gate code in everyone’s vehicle. The things I mentioned were small inconveniences. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and were sad to leave such a special place.

Just far enough away!
We had a great time at fish camp. The paved roads made it easy to get to the cabin. It feels far away while being close to everything you want to do.

The Best Yet
Having stayed in the Cashiers/Highlands area for numerous years, this was absolutely the best experience yet! The cabin was charming and well appointed. The setting was private and a fisherman’s dream. The owner was communicative and very helpful. We definitely will plan to return!

Disappointed
The “Good”-Privacy, and the creek behind the cabin. The “Not Good”- The cabin was not clean, the kitchen was missing a few things one would expect, the mattress was awfull. The “Ugly”- The ants, spiders and the evidence of rodents. (Droppings and chewing…we have photos) Having to rent a hotel for the remainder of our vacation was a slap in the face.

Waterdance HOA Cabin
This property is amazing, the cabin itself needs some updates but is very well maintained. It’s cute and cozy. Needs some screens to keep the bugs out! There weren’t any fish on the creek when we visited so no fishing as advertised. Owners scheduled construction work next door while we visited so dropped the review rating due to the noise. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay and would recommend. It’s a little far from Cashiers but not too bad of a drive. Be careful GPS doesn’t try to take you out the back way! You can’t get out that way, which we learned the hard way the day we scheduled horseback riding at the stables nearby

The view, the sounds of nature, the peace, the fun. My son and I loved it. He played and fished in the river all day, and I spent most of mine sitting on the porch just relaxing.

Beautiful location. Amazing House.
The house was very clean and beautifully decorated. We loved to hear the rushing river from the master suite. It’s a very private, wooded lot with great views. We spent one day just exploring and hiking on the property. Franklin and Brevard are awesome, small towns - close enough for dining out or for shopping. We will definitely be back!

Streamside Gem
This is a fantastic getaway for nature lovers! The proximity to the stream means you have endless tranquil sounds and the ability to land a trout all day long. We enjoyed the house (clean, rustic, and beautiful) and fireplace to cozy up in the evening. The property has outdoor seating and outdoor fire pit as well for your s’mores moment. Nearby is Happ’s restaurant which we give 4 stars so you don’t have to cook in or drive far. We played games, did a puzzle, but spent most of the time outdoors. The trout are wild in this part of the stream so you work for the bites but Brookings can guide you further downstream if you are needing more “action”. The kids decided to use the tubes and slide down the river when they ran out of patience. It seemed pretty safe (even after a big rain) so they played to their hearts content. We loved the privacy and nature and disconnect from civilization. Not much of a phone signal so you can use that to your advantage with work. * Don’t bring your ground coffee it’s pods only. We plan to return to this beautiful respite! Garett was easy to reach and communicate with so that’s always a plus if you have questions along the way. (Our question was about staying another night so just plan ahead and take the extra day-lol)

Great family retreat.
Great little cabin in between mountain towns. Well equipped kitchen, outdoor grill, fire pit and fun tubs for our daughters to float down the creek. The fishing was excellent and couldn’t have been more convenient to walk out the back door and into the stream. We would definitely stay here again.
