From the owner

We are happy to offer you the perfect location. A fine riverfront home in the heart of the Smokies, near numerous waterfalls. Well positioned for spending time indoors or outdoors, enjoying the Smoky Mts, exploring the Cullasaja River Gorge.

- Easy to find, paved to the door. It is heated and air conditioned, and available for rental all year. Each season has its charm and appeal.

- Its a great season to be in the Smoky Mts!

- We provide floats to 'Tube' the river, when conditions permit, below the falls, at your own risk.

- Our rates are very competitive for the vacation that awaits you.

- Riverfront living with 300 ft frontage on the Cullasaja River, up to 80 ft across here. Shallow enough for kids to play safely, under parental control. Great mountain views are common as you come and go to the store, or restaurant, etc, but prime riverfront is rare.

- Quiet, except for the river, and the song birds.

- Enjoy a morning coffee on the deck, relax in the rocker, or view the river from the recliner thru the oversize patio door.

- All of the comforts of the city, yet a relaxed mountain country atmosphere. The murmur of the river will lull you to dreamland, awaken to the songbirds, with beautiful views of the river, and forested hills beyond. Ducks, geese, and sometimes a beaver, frequent our section of the river.

- Its perfect for two couples, or a family with some kids. It sleeps 4 easily, with 2 bedrooms with ensuite baths.

- For larger groups both units could be booked, total of 4br and 3 baths - will sleep 8. Contact owner.

- New San Lucas Sofa by Ashley Fine Furniture.

- Lay back on the double hammock by the river.

- Picnic or sit around the fire near the river. There is a picnic table, with two portable benches, next to the fire ring. Guests may use dead wood found on property, or buy firewood at Bilo, Walmart, Tractor Supply, or Ingles.

- Now has new gas log fireplace, that lights with a click of the remote, for a cozy fire.- In warm weather try our virtual fireplace dvd on large flat screen tv, shot in HD, with the ambiance of a fire, without the heat.

- Fall and winter offer a relaxing indoor experience. Its warm and cozy. The entertainment center has a large flat-screen tv, connected to satellite dish, and to the internet wifi, where we share NetFlix movies.

- We have added Roku, for endless movies and entertainment.

- Enjoy the blueberries in season, and the flowering trees and shrubs recently added.

- We are dedicated with making sure that our guests have a relaxing good time, and experience as much as possible of the fun and scenery of this special place.

- There are numerous marked trails for hiking, alone, or with a group. Rock Shops and antique stores abound.

- The property is at near 2100 feet elevation, warm days and cool nights, without the severity of being higher.

- Try your luck at the Harrah Casino in Cherokee, or at Murphy. Spend a fun day at Standing Indian Campgrounds, or visiting Bavarian Helen, or Tallulah Falls.

- The road to the home is scenic highway 28/64, take a drive to Highlands, Cashiers, or Dillard. The waterfalls are along this road. Nearby are Cullasaja Falls, Dry Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, Whitewater Falls, and Glen Falls. Biltmore Mansion is just over an hour away.
