This is a great location to easily access much of what Western North Carolina has to offer.

The home has direct river access on one of NC's premier fly fishing rivers! Fishing, kayaking, tubing and more can be done right from your backyard. Stone steps under the old maple tree take you right down into the water for easy access in and out while fishing, tubing, or kayaking.

Fire pit out back feet from the river where you can roast marshmallows with family and friends.

Screened in porch with 180 degrees of river views. On the porch you will find a dining area, lounging couch and chairs with console, and sliding Adirondak chairs with built in cup holders.

Our experience at Copper John Cabin was exceptional! Their home has lovely furnishings and fabulous kitchen facilities for a relaxing experience on the Tuckaseegee River. We spent a great deal of time on the amazing riverfront porch! The owners helped with suggestions for nearby activities and were quick to respond as needed.

An amazing week in the mountains in the summer with the fam. Our kids were able to play in the river, and Slyva, Dillsboro and Cashiers were close enough to enjoy surrounding areas, too. Super clean and great communication with the host!
