About this house rental

The main living area is open and airy, with a wood-burning stone fireplace you'll actually want to use. Turquoise sectional sofa, hardwood floors, exposed beams: it's comfortable without trying too hard. The dining table seats 8. The kitchen has granite countertops, a butcher block island, a French door refrigerator, and everything you need to cook a real meal. Full-size washer and dryer. Record player with a vinyl collection for when the evening slows down.



★ BEDROOMS

Bedroom 1: King bed, leather headboard, green accent wall, ceiling fan, Smart TV. Ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower, double vanity, and herringbone tile.

Bedroom 2: Twin-over-queen bunk bed, teal bedding, ceiling fan, Smart TV, Nintendo Switch. Shared full bathroom with tub/shower combo.

Bedroom 3: Queen bed, dedicated workspace with wood desk, ceiling fan, Smart TV. Ensuite bathroom.

Half Bath: Off the main living area.



★ OUTDOOR AMENITIES (The Good Stuff)

Brand-New Hot Tub: Surrounded by forest and string lights, open year-round. There is nothing like soaking under the stars after a day on the trails.

Finnish Cedar Sauna: Heated and ready, right on the riverbank. Steam up, then step into the cold river. Hot/cold therapy at its best.

Covered Carport Game Area: Ping pong, hillbilly golf, outdoor Jenga, bar-height seating, and string lights. This is where the evening competition happens.

Fire Pit: Circular fire pit with Adirondack chairs.

Riverfront Gazebo: Covered deck right on the water with lounge seating and string lights. Best seat in the house.

Covered Main Porch: Outdoor dining table, lounge seating, chandelier under exposed beams.

Wood-Planked River Walkway: A scenic path from the cabin straight to the water, ending at a wide sandy beach area along the river.



★ THE RIVER & WATERFALLS

The Whitewater River is entirely private here, with no public access and no other cabins on the water. It's one of the best wild trout streams in western NC, home to rainbow, brown, and brook trout.



A short private trail leads to six named waterfalls: Bedrock Falls, Canyon Falls, Entrance Falls, Exit Falls, Merge Lane Falls, and 55 MPH Falls.



Bedrock Falls is also a favorite spot for tubing. Guests launch from the top of the falls and ride the current, and some take tubes all the way down to the calm lagoon at Exit Falls. Trout fishing is excellent in and around these spots: the pools above and below Bedrock Falls and the Exit Falls lagoon are go-to stretches on the property. Bedrock Falls has even hosted small private weddings.



Hiking Notes: Bedrock Falls is the easier route, about a 20-minute walk from the cabin, family-friendly and great for kids. Exit Falls is the more adventurous option, with rope-assisted inclines and alternate route choices for those who want more of a challenge.



★ GREAT YEAR-ROUND

Summer: swimming holes, waterfall hikes, tubing, boating at Lake Glenville (20 min)

Fall: peak foliage, fire pit evenings, world-class trout fishing

Winter: Ski Sapphire Valley (15 min), hot tub in the snow, sauna by the river

Spring: wildflowers, raging waterfalls, fly fishing season

This was the perfect spot and the perfect cabin. We loved everything….the river, the sauna, the hot tub, the screened in porch! We even enjoyed the old school record player. It was only a short drive to Cashiers and Highlands. We enjoyed the private trail, only wished we would have done the trail on our first day!!

We lost service about 20-30 minutes away from the cabin. I would highly recommend if renting that you make sure not turn off GPS the whole time so it works when there no service and also to go ahead and write down and store the address, door code, and wi fi password so you have it upon arrival, as there is no phone service. That being said, it’s wonderful. Gorgeous. Spacious. Clean. Fun.

Not only was the place absolutely gorgeous with the peacefulness of the water, it was just as listed. The place was vey spacious and clean, had everything we needed, internet was great, and the record player was a fun touch to our evening. The host was wonderful! Communication was great and they made sure we had everything we needed. Easy check in process and check out! Would definitely stay here again.

This home was perfect for our family of four (kids 10 and 12) and dog. If you want privacy and room to roam, this is tough to beat. We hiked 2 full days straight from the house and didn't see another person either day. Amazing waterfall after waterfall, jumping holes, lagoons to relax and play in, etc. The host provides great details and instructions how to access all the best spots right from the house. We also loved the peaceful gazebo along the river for grilling, fishing, and playing in the river at night. The sauna was an added bonus. We cooked most meals at the house but also made the quick trip into Cashiers for dinner a couple nights. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for privacy and easy access to secluded trails along the river!
