About this property
Stay on the Nantahala River - luxury home in Bryson city NC.
Martin Retreats is a custom built home-away-from-home. The newest luxury vacation home on the Nantahala River. The pictures do not do this home justice, it’s even better in person… WE PROMISE!
Showcasing large decks, whitewater river views, more than enough living space and easy local access to top it off! This home is located within a gated community in the Nantahala Gorge off Highway 74/19 on the north side of the Nantahala National Forest.
Ev charging available
The home features 4 king bedrooms and a bunk room. With a master on main and master upstairs along with private bathrooms with walk-in showers and large vanities. Luxury mattresses, bamboo bedding and smart televisions will have you wanting to stay in bed.
The spacious family room and chef’s kitchen offer a cozy place to gather around the fireplace or dinner table together. Enjoy the mountain air on the back deck while watching rafters and kayakers float by. The terrace level offers various games such as pool and shuffleboard along with a living area complete with couches and large smart television.
There are also two sets of sliding glass doors to view the river and walk right out onto the back deck just steps away from the river.
Here you can enjoy a hot tub or fire pit both looking out to the river. Listening to the river while enjoying the decks and back yard is our favorite part of this home. It is like nothing you’ve ever experienced. During the busy season you can sit outside and watch the kayakers, rafters, and paddle boarders daily.
Trout fisherman? Enjoy all the trout fishing you can dream of right in the back yard! This is a fisherman’s paradise.
