Cabin can stretch to sleep 5, if children are in party. But is designed for 4 adults with just 4 seats in living and dining areas. Riverview Retreat at Riverside Escapes! A beautiful log style cabin located directly on Section 8 of the French Broad River awaits you. Fully appointed two-story cabin with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths and lots of special custom touches. The cozy living room has a river rock gas fireplace and opens onto a huge deck with a hot tub overlooking the river. The large second floor "treetop" master suite features a private balcony overlooking the river, a king size bed, copper covered bedside tables, a private coffee station, walk-in closet and stacking washer/dryer. The main floor queen bedroom and bath offer easy access and a fun river fishing theme. Both baths have custom tile showers and granite sinks. The campus offers free WIFI internet access so you can sit by the campfire or lay on the hammock and check your email!
This beautiful cabin sits on a large riverfront parcel with a private footbridge and a private island. You're invited to fish the French Broad and cook your own catch on a firepit grill, or just sit in the Adirondack chairs and watch the blue herons fish. Bring your bike and enjoy the level ride along historic Old Marshall Highway. Spend evenings by the campfire toasting s'mores as the sun sets over the mountains. After sunset, watch the fireflies light up the mountainside across the river. Day trip to kayak, whitewater raft, tube the river, hike or horseback ride. Explore history with a visit to the Biltmore Estate, Grove Arcade, historic downtown Asheville or the Vance Birthplace. Drive the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway and have lunch on top of Mount Pisgah.
This is the only property on the French Broad River with an accessible private island. Yet, we're located just 15 minutes from Asheville, 10 minutes from Weaverville, and a few minutes south of the historic town of Marshall. Riverside Escapes lodging and grounds are also available for weddings and other special events. Please visit our website (see link below) for more details!

Relaxing picturesque spot situated close to activities
Cabin provided relaxing home base for multi day stay. French Broad Adventures Rafting, hiking, Biltmore/Asheville located close by. One day we just relaxed on property: grilled, fished, and hiked to nearby park. Owners were a pleasure to work with. Would enjoy staying again !!!

Wonderful cabin on the river
This property was a great place for my wife and I . Although it was record breaking cold the week we were there, just being able to see and hear the river was so relaxing. The hot tub was the perfect place to get warm . Everything in the cabin was so comfortable and cozy. We are already planning a return trip this summer. Best cabin we have ever stayed in.

About the host

Hosted by LIz Wiederhold

Host profile image
Paul and Liz Wiederhold moved to 'the river' in 2006 to follow their dreams. Their incredible new riverfront location begged to be shared... and 'Riverside Escapes' was born. More than vacation rentals, the future of Riverside Escapes will include riverfront weddings, family reunions, corporate retreats, and more. The Wiederholds were married on the property's island and live onsite where they provide personal service for their guests. The property is full of animals; Diamond - our very friendly campus mascot dog, a flock of very pampered free range chickens, a pair of mallard ducks who have taken up voluntary residency, and lots of other birds and critters. Paul owns a high end roofing company specializing in slate, tile, copper and metal roofs, and copper gutters. When not working, Paul loves to fish, kayak and generally enjoy the river. Liz enjoys hostessing and working 'hands on' at Riverside Escapes including fixing and building things, as well as designing, decorating, sewing and landscaping.

Why they chose this property

The French Broad River is a spectacular river meandering through a spectacular town. 'Broad' is a descriptive name for this large, majestic river which is largely unspoiled by development. Yet, just down river, Asheville offers all of the excitement, arts, fine dining, nightlife, and eclectic culture that anyone could seek. The Blue Ridge Parkway, Appalachian Trail and so many other natural gifts are just a short drive away. Madison County offers some of the beautiful whitewater rafting locations, unspoiled mountain land, and even snow skiing in Wolf Laurel. Our location is ideally located just north of Asheville and south of Madison County. It is truly the best of both worlds.

What makes this property unique

Riverside Escapes offers the only island vacation rental in the area and one of just a few riverfront homes. Guests are encouraged to walk the swinging bridge, fish from the shores, sit by the riverside campfire, and generally immerse themselves in the incredible natural beauty of the property. There is something for everyone here. For the more adventurous type, our island cabin offers the feel of remote camping, but none of the hassles. For those seeking more luxury, our mainland cabin has all the comforts of home and more with a hot tub, custom tile showers, coffee bar, limited satellite based wireless internet access, and more.
