River Love ❤@ The Barn *Highlands<br> Home on the Cullasaja River Trout Fishing
This romantic retreat on the river's edge will have you swooning for your love and wanting to stay longer. With views of the lower gorge and the Cullasaja river whitewater rapids as your playground, the open floor plan and abundant windows bring the outdoors in and make you feel as if you are in a tree house. Fall in love all over again in this 1940's Tobacco Barn nestled in a picturesque valley at higher elevations.
Originally a 1940's tobacco barn, this spacious house has been skillfully and lovingly turned into a unique and wonderful home on the Cullasaja River. The water runs quickly here but also features some slower shallow swirls. If no one is booked next door, you have access to a great swim hole and your own personal tube run should you wish.
At the edge of the Nantahala National Forest and along a Scenic Byway and a Hatchery Supported River you will find some of the best trout fishing in the county. You might be the next one to catch the next large trout! Or, you could just enjoy a glass on wine while sitting on the river's bank in beautiful Adirondack chairs or in a 2 person steaming claw-foot bathtub outside.
This property has it all! Check out our guest access. You're never going to want to leave.
Home comes equipped with just about anything you can think of other than a dishwasher. The Barn is a maximum 4 adult 2 children listing. If more than 4 adults are being requested, please ask about my adjacent property Tiny House River Adeventure that can accomodate another additional 2 adults.

About the host
Hosted by Kangee Graham

As a host, I pay attention to detail. I believe everything from the listing to the pricing to the specifics of the home are equally important. I strive to present a 5 star stay to each and every guest!
My motto is that both guests and host need to be thrilled about the experience, and that happens with both preparation and communication.
