About this cabin rental

Sweetwater Fly Fishing Camp

Escape to one of western North Carolina’s most unique mountain retreats.

At the end of a private gated drive through the Nantahala National Forest, you’ll discover Sweetwater Fly Fishing Camp—a secluded riverfront cabin on nine private acres surrounded by thousands of acres of protected forest.

Originally operated as a fly-fishing lodge, Sweetwater offers something that very few mountain rentals can: the adventure begins the moment you step outside.

Walk directly from the cabin to White Owl Falls, explore Tumblin’ Fun Falls by following Gum Bottom Creek upstream, hike to Tall Falls, fish the Thompson River, relax beside the river pavilion, or simply enjoy the sounds of rushing water from the screened porch.

We enjoyed the cabin and the trails and waterfalls to explore. There were multiple waterfalls to hike to from the cabin! We did not have luck fishing. We struggled to find good access to the river at the places that looked like good spots. The house was very clean and comfortable. The fire pit was great and the hammock was a huge hit with a few naps taken there. The kitchen table was big enough to all of us and the table and chairs on the screened deck were great. Most of the cookware was stainless steal, which we hadn’t used much and was a learning curve.If you plan to cook, bring containers for leftovers. We had a fabulous time! There was plenty of space for 2 families inside and outside. We would definitely come back. Owner communication was quick as well.
