You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

River Rock Cabin, Game Room, 12 mins. to Downtown

Welcome to your sanctuary on the Swannanoa River!

River Rock Cabin has been designed with attention to every detail to make your vacation experience a feast for the senses. A true mountain cabin, with luxury amenities and a magical river backdrop!

The Space
Take in amazing river views from the main level King bedroom and living room, and on the outdoor wrap-around deck complete with large propane grill and seating for lounging and dining.

In the lower level game room (access through stairway in King bedroom) you'll find a 65" TV, a large sectional, a pool table, a shuffleboard table and a dartboard. There's also a nice open area here perfect for yoga or exercise, just steps from the river. Open the two electric garage doors and enjoy the main fire pit or shoot a game of pool while the sounds of the river transform you.

Explore the cabin gardens...there are several tree-trunk carvings of native birds and animals scattered throughout, as well as three fire pits and an open area perfect for frisbee.

You'll be on a private street, with ample parking in the large gravel driveway; keyless entry. I live here on the beautiful Swannanoa River as well. I'm delighted to say hi and chat if you see me walking my dog or throwing sticks in the yard. Otherwise, you'll have complete privacy but know that I'm just next door if you need anything at all.

What a lovely gem! The peaceful sounds of the river, hanging out by the fire pit, drinking coffee on the deck and of course, the artistically quirky interior - we couldn't have asked for a better place for a getaway. Lyn (and sweet pup Poco) were the consummate hosts - we cannot wait to make a return stay!

Best cabin ever!
Nestled in Asheville, this is the most charming cabin with a killer view of the river. The yard's decked out with these cool totems, adding a unique touch to the vibe. And man, that river's sound? Totally mesmerizing.You'll catch Lyn taking his adorable dog for a walk along the riverside, soaking in the peaceful scene.It's not just a cabin; it's like a chill oasis where you can escape the daily grind and just vibe with nature. Perfect spot for some downtime and soul recharge, you know? My wife and I had an amazing time at this cabin. The best cabins ever!

A great location with a great owner
This was one of the cleanest and well-stocked VRBO locations we've stayed at. I expect others will recognize VRBO locations that feel a bit dingy or dirty when you arrive, or where the owners have skimped on basic amenities (I'm looking at you, "one roll of hotel toilet paper per bathroom" locations!). This couldn't have been further from the truth with this rental. The cabin was very clean and very well stocked with basic amenities needed for the stay, from dish and hand soap to logs for the indoor stove. The owner, Lyn, was also incredibly helpful. Due to some very strong winds that blew through the area during our stay, we lost internet for the better part of a day (thanks Spectrum). We also lost power around 11 pm one night (which Duke Energy thankfully restored within an hour). Lyn was giving constant updates throughout the outages, and recommended a really nice coffee shop (Filo Pastries) for internet access we needed while the outage was ongoing. We'd definitely stay here again.

Retreat by the River
My husband and I along with our two teenage grandsons spent a glorious Thanksgiving holiday at this property. It is everything that the pictures portray and more. We enjoyed the environs and the cozy cabin which had a well appointed kitchen with plenty of service items. We had only one small request for the host which was fulfilled in under 10 minutes. The game room was almost continually occupied by our teens while we were at the cabin. I had looked at this property many times and only wished I had rented it before on one of our previous trips to Asheville. Don't hesitate to book. Not only does it provide a feeling of seclusion, but you are within easy traveling distance to the restaurants in Asheville and Black Mountain, as well as well positioned to visit other hiking places in the area.

This was our second time staying at this cabin and it was just as amazing as the first time. The owner definitely takes much pride in his property not only on the interior but exterior as well with so many little and big details not to be missed. The added on game room was a big bonus for us this time and was such a great way to spend a day when not out hiking waterfalls. It exceeded our expectations both times and would highly recommend to anyone else thinking of staying here.
