Paradise at the Rivers Edge! A Private Waterfront Log Cabin,snow ski/fish nearby

Come relax at this luxurious cabin and let the river put you to sleep at night. Paradise Cabin is unlike any of the properties in this area. This perfect getaway sits on a 65 acre private estate located in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains. The setting makes you feel like you are in the back country yet you are minutes from everything this area has to offer. We are only 1 mile from I-40 Exit 24 and 25 miles to Downtown Asheville and the Biltmore Estate. You only need to make a mere 10 minute drive to enjoy all that Downtown Waynesville has to offer from fine dining to some of the areas best local breweries. The Blue Ridge Parkway cuts right through this area and you are just minutes away from several of its entrances.

After more than 20 years of tearing down old barns and log cabins and hoarding away the kinds of things you can't just run to the local building supply and buy this unique property started to take shape. From the hand hewn solid oak log walls to the tobacco stick handrails this is a getaway that will make you want to stay and not leave. All the woodwork and trim in the house is reclaimed mostly from barns that were built 100 plus years ago by the owners great grandfather and has been reused into what you will see in this one of a kind cabin. The flooring on the main level is reclaimed antique heart of pine flooring as well as the hand hewn weathered beams in the ceiling. Open up the reclaimed Chestnut barn doors into the bedroom and have the whole house to yourself or bring friends and enjoy everything that this area has to offer.

Fishing in this area is a big attraction so bring your fishing poles and get lost in the beauty of the western North Carolina mountains. Walk down through the front yard and be fishing within minutes of your arrival, or maybe a nature walk would do you some good?

This cabin offers two bedrooms with queen size beds and pillow top mattresses, Also a couch pullout full size bed. Two bathrooms, one with tub shower unit and one custom tile shower with river stone accents harvested from the river below. The kitchen has most everything for most all of your cooking needs. Downstairs you have a recreation room with a pool table, a mini bar, native stone fireplace with gas logs and a TV. There are four TV's, one in each bedroom. One in the main living room and one in bar/rec room. Direct TV and internet is provided as well. With one bedroom and bath upstairs and one down it is the perfect vacation for two couples to have plenty of privacy. Oh, and don't forget the downstairs patio and upstairs porch where you will most likely spend your time relaxing to the sounds of the river coming around the bend. Watch closely for the huge cranes, hawks and the occasional bald eagles that patrol the river. With this house being on the rivers edge you will most likely see some type of wildlife during your stay, there are coyotes,turkeys, ground hogs, deer, bear, squirrels, etc. Don't be surprised to wake up to the cattle walking by just outside in the mornings. With the long range mountain view driveway and the waterfront cabin this is a truly one of a kind property.

This property is home to more than fifty head of cattle so no pets are allowed at any time during your stay here. Also no smoking in the house but it is perfectly fine to smoke outside on the porch or outside patio. Please put discarded cigarettes in the containers provided as this property is in a wooded area with lots of dry leaves.

With four unique private log homes available on the property now....Riverbend Cabin (listing number 7843149), Paradise Cabin (listing number 1148597), Cedar Cliff Cabin (listing number 2232038) and CastAway Cabin (listing number 3156188), please message us to list multiple cabins for your family getaway.

We hope that your visit to the mountains of Western North Carolina and stay in our cabin creates memories that will stay with you forever. Please respect the cabin and treat it as if it were your own as we respect you as a customer.

Fantastic retreat!

We got married at Max Patch and stayed here with our two kids for a week. The property is amazing with beautiful river views, tubing, fire pit, and grill. They even left us a bottle of champagne to celebrate our wedding. We had a wonderful time and the hosts were always very responsive. We will definitely be returning to stay at Paradise!

Amazing Cabin! Simply Amazing!!!

We loved our stay at “Paradise at the Rivers Edge” 5 Stars across the board! I would give more stars if it let me! The cabin was absolutely stunning and the setting by the river was amazing. The owners were great which made our 4 day getaway that much more enjoyable. Strongly recommend and we will be sure to find our way back sometime in the future.

Fantastic getaway highly recommend

Hosts were amazing, even brought me a birthday gift. Property is quiet and gorgeous. We played in the river in the backyard every day. Yes, I said river in the backyard. Plenty of options to enjoy the outdoors without leaving the cabin. Multiple decks and grills to utilize the spaces for convenience and enjoyment. One of the best cabins and experiences my family has had renting in the mountains. I definitely recommend and will be returning in the future.

Paradise on Pigeon River

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed staying at this beautiful cabin on the Pigeon River. It is so peaceful. The cabin was very clean and well stocked with everything you need. We were there for a golf weekend and played in Waynesville and Maggie Valley, which were both just a short drive away. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect relaxing retreat

We absolutely enjoyed this house. It was the perfect size and the location was amazing. We were close to areas of interest, highways, grocery, etc., but it also felt so secluded and was the ideal setting to connect with nature. The river and sunrise views were wonderful. Sitting on the porch, walking by the river, and playing pool were our favorite activities. We had everything we needed to enjoy the space. Would highly recommend this house and would definitely return if given the opportunity.
