About this property

Fly fish, hike & kayak right from the backyard! Enjoy a relaxing stay in this Smoky Mountain luxury loft on the banks of the Nantahala River overlooking Campground Falls. You will be transported by stunning views and soothing sounds from this white water oasis outfitted with interior designer finds, Crate & Barrel furnishings, stone covered showers, and designer kitchen with stainless steel appliances and quartz countertops. No expense was spared to create the ultimate luxury mountain getaway nestled inside the Nantahala Gorge. Sit on your private terrace and watch rafters splash through the whitewater with a glass of wine, walk to world-famous trails or cozy -up near the electric fireplace and watch the raging water while you read a book. Whatever your speed, this has it all.

This cozy mountain retreat is located in the Mystic River gated community along the banks of the world-renowned Nantahala River with the Nantahala National Forest along the facing bank. It has two miles of private river frontage plus two islands for your fishing and hiking enjoyment. If that is not enough excitement, how about a whitewater raft ride down the Nantahala River stopping off at your own private retreat? You can make s'mores in the built-in fire pit on the shore of the river. When you're ready to get away from the water, you can drive to nearby Bryson City to enjoy craft beers or a ride on the Polar Express come the holidays. There are casinos and even high-end restaurants in nearby Cherokee and Murphy or drive 90 minutes and hit the foodie scene in trendy Asheville. Whatever your idea of a vacation in the Smoky Mountains includes, this riverfront luxury guesthouse is the perfect place to call your home away from home.

Amazing time on the river

The place was immaculate. Everything very clean well organized and neat couldn't ask for a better place to have stay, Diana is a great host. I will definitely recommend this place to my friend's, and family members, and to all that asked me how my trip was. Thank you for having us.

Perfect Getaway on the River!

My family and I stayed at this property for a week in April, 2023. It was fabulous! The property is brand new and very well appointed. Really enjoyed the outside terrace from which we watched paddlers going down river. The owner was very accessible and accommodating. You know the old saying: "Location, Location Location." Well...River, Nantahala Outdoor Center (NOC), Appalachian Trail, Mountains, Serenity, Rafting, Fly Fishing. It's all right there. I have used VRBO for years and dozens of stays. My biggest concern is that property descriptions or pictures are misleading. This property is exactly how it is described. Very much appreciated that. We will be back for sure.
