Mountain view

Soak up the view during your stay.
Come find yourself some solitude in this truly unique & authentic hand-hewn log cabin in a very peaceful setting. This 100+ year old cabin was disassembled from an old holler in Madison County & lovingly rebuilt by local craftsmen. Rewind to a time that was a bit simpler while enjoying modern amenities of Fiber Wi-Fi & a fireplace with propane burning fire logs. The beautiful French Broad River is a short walk from your door & is located on the property. Pet Friendly!

The space
When you walk into the cabin probably the first impression is the timbers that were used to build this house. It is just impressive if you think about it, an old art of sort. The living room is comfy with a soft couch and furniture, an inviting place to sit by a fire and perhaps watch tv. The kitchen is small, but has all basic cooking items, and a dining table that seats 4. The bathroom with shower is located on the ground floor, as is a small, sleeping sofa off the main room.

Walk up the spiral stairs, also made of thick hewn timbers to the loft bedroom. It is an open space, but you cannot really see the lower floor living space.

The cabin itself has been a place where memories have been made for over 100 years.

Walking out on the small front porch the door opens to a very peaceful setting of an expansive hillside lawn that meets the railroad tracks and then the French Broad River. The porch is covered with 2 rocking chairs so you can enjoy being outdoors in all weather and seasons taking in the atmosphere of this awesome cabin and picturesque property.
If you would like to build a fire, there is a fire ring situated next to the cabin.

The French Broad River is a short walk from Riverstone (5 minutes or less) and is part of this property. There is a large field and much riverbank to explore. There are beautiful rocks and lots of sand after the flood. Fishing is an option if you are interested.

The railroad track does pass through, and there are occasional trains that still travel through the mountains to and from Knoxville to Asheville. In a time before there were cars and rail transport, the road to Riverstone and beyond was called the Drover's Road, where merchants would walk their goods to and from markets along the French Broad.

The cabin is located less than 5 miles to the sweet town of Hot Springs, NC. We think Hot Springs is a wonderland in all seasons. There are plenty of activities in the area to check out, such as rafting the French Broad with one of our local companies, hiking a section of the Appalachian Trail, taking a soak at the Hot Springs mineral baths at the Resort and Spa, visiting some of our great area shops and restaurants. If you venture a little over an hour away, you could explore Asheville or take a fun trip to Dollywood.

I think people who are wanting to find a getaway that is low key, in an amazing area, and abundant in nature will enjoy spending time at Riverstone. It is a marvelous place of wonder, and a bit of an automatic reset to a more relaxed mindset.

Riverstone is Pet Friendly. We do charge a pet fee to compensate the cleaner for extra cleaning detail. If you are bringing a dog, please include your pet to your reservation.

We would love you to be our guest. This is such a beautiful and welcoming property to retreat to and enjoy the mountains in all seasons. Please contact us with any questions you may have.

Guest access
Guest can access the entire space. There are not limitations. We invite you to enjoy both the indoors and outdoors of the cabin and property.

Other things to note
We own a house before you get to Riverstone that our family enjoys, and a second cabin called Limestone that is beyond Riverstone. You cannot see any of these houses from Riverstone, and each is very private. Please note, we do allow people staying at the Limestone to access the same area by the river so you may see people walking the road or encounter them at the river. There is plenty of space for everyone, and you can choose to interact or not.

If your group needs more space, you may consider renting Limestone Cabin as well. Feel free to inquire about details on how to book!

Also, we have a lawn maintenance person on the property once a week during mowing season. Due to weather, it is hard to determine what day he will be there.

There is a firepit beside the cabin. You may want to pack your favorite camp chairs. Firewood is not provided. There are several places in Hot Springs to purchase bundles.

Neighborhood highlights

The cabin is not really in a neighborhood. This is a rural piece of property that is located down a long gravel driveway near the town of Hot Springs, N.C. There are several other houses located on this road as well as a cattle farm. Most houses are full time residences. Our family has three houses on the property, all quite private from each other. One of our other houses is a rental as well, so you may see guest staying there who are walking the road or enjoying the shared access to the river.

Hi! I am a mom to 3 teens and feel grateful to call Asheville home. I have lived here on and off (mostly on) since 1996. In addition to being an entrepreneur and a local business owner, I am a Realtor - so if you have any interest in exploring the Asheville housing market, I would love to help you!
