If its river frontage you want – you’ve found it! You can literally drop a line and fish while standing on the deck. The views up and down the river are tremendous and onsite you’ll find tubes for a lazy afternoon float down the river. This cozy two-bedroom cottage is perfect for 2-4 guests. There’s a nice woodstove for chilly mornings and evenings, Internet (wireless) and Satellite TV. Well located between Highlands and Franklin so a quick jaunt up or down the mountain is easy and direct.
Private home all for you with two bedrooms and two baths plus that marvelous river frontage.
There is a firepit for you enjoyment. We provide enough firewood for one fire and ask that you purchase more, if needed. Guest access Entire home and grounds.
NOT a pet friendly location.

Cindy's Island was a cute place - the porches and outside sitting areas were very relaxing. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen/bathrooms were updated. The house was exceptionally clean but is an older home with some tile ceilings and a creaky/leaning floor. There was a lot of road noise because of where it is located which took a little away from the spot being perfect. Also, it is a little tricky pulling out of the driveway onto the busy road. Overall, it is in a good location for what we were looking for which was checking out waterfalls in the area.
We had a wonderful stay — very clean, excellent location near town and central to get to other towns. We loved hanging out in the river and making s’mores in the fire pit. Highly recommend!

Fish from the porch!
Had a great stay. Fire pit beside the water was perfect.
Relaxing and beautiful. A little hard to find, especially at night because the entrance is right outside a curve in the road but overall, we would go again!
Came up to visit family in Highlands. Ate some good food and great family time. Hope to be back next year!

Unique, Cozy Riverfront Home
This cozy home had all you need to relax and enjoy. The location is ideal and the view of the river was amazing. The owner was responsive and nice during our stay. We would stay there again.
We really enjoyed our stay, it was exactly what we needed. The rental was clean and well kept, the attention to detail and amenities within the home made us feel very special. Its a beautiful place and we plan to return for a longer stay in the future.
We had a great stay at Cindy's Island. So peaceful hearing the river flow right out the window, everything you need is there. So much beautiful scenery to enjoy within driving distance.

Great getaway!
We loved our short stay, and only wish we were here longer! The river is beautiful and the cabin has been updated so nicely. We would certainly come back.
House is tucked in the woods right off the road and really quite. You can fish of the back deck and relax. The house was clean and very cozy. My family enjoyed our stay. The kids wished we could stay longer. Definitely recommend this location.
It was perfect for us. Had everything you could imagine and well stocked to meet all our needs. All the little details makes it a huge success and we will be booking again

Great location.
Had great vacation for few days. House was great, enjoyed opening up windows and listening to stream while reading and drinking coffee. Had breakfast in Franklin, spent day in Highlands and one afternoon trout fishing on the Nantahala.
The cabin is right on the river, beautiful and relaxing. Watched a family of otters one morning. Clean, comfortable and welcoming! Made us want to stay longer.
