About this property

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.

Lovely property; close to waterfalls and the parkway
We enjoyed our stay tremendously. The River’s Edge Cabin had a lovely view on both sides of the property. It was in close proximity to the parkway, waterfalls, etc. Burnsville, Spruce Pines, and Micaville were all fun places to venture. The river in the backyard can’t be beat. The only downside is the road is super close and people go extremely fast on highway 80 on that particular stretch. I’d recommend this property for folks with older children only. The gates do lock well but it is still a bit nerve racking with young children. The home was well stocked and was great for a week away. The host was also very responsive.

The Ideal Writer's Retreat: Quiet, Comfortable, and Dog-Friendly
If you're looking for a spot that hits the sweet spot between seclusion and comfort, this riverfront cabin nails it. Perfect for those of us dragging along our laptops and our dogs, the place offers up high-speed Wi-Fi, warm, sunny days, cool nights, and a fully fenced-in yard—ideal for both productivity and relaxation. The timing couldn't be better if you aim for a writer's retreat during the shoulder season; it's like you've got the whole area to yourself. The cabin's layout is practical and straightforward: an open floor plan, a mudroom for stashing dog bowls and muddy boots, plus a laundry area. The kitchen's equipped with what you need for a stay — just a heads-up, there's no traditional oven, but a convection microwave and a slow cooker fill in just fine. Sleeping arrangements are cozy, with two bedrooms that share a bathroom. It might seem tight, but the shower's surprisingly roomy and well-stocked. The real standout, though, is the back deck. It overlooks the river, where the sound of running water from small "rapids" nearby is a constant backdrop. They've recently improved the path to the riverbank, making it easy to enjoy up close. Honestly, it's a place I'd return to without a second thought. Great for getting away, getting work done, or just getting some peace with your pups by your side.

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.
