Nestled along the banks of a mountain river in Cullowhee, this luxury farmhouse offers a peaceful retreat where the sounds of flowing water and the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains set the tone for a memorable stay. Combining upscale comforts with a prime riverfront setting, the home is equally suited for relaxing getaways, family gatherings, and visits to nearby Western Carolina University.

Designed with comfort and privacy in mind, the home features three beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. The primary suite serves as a private sanctuary, complete with a king bed, spa-inspired bathroom, wet bar, and private deck overlooking the surrounding landscape. Thoughtful finishes throughout create an inviting atmosphere that feels both refined and welcoming.

The riverfront setting is the centerpiece of the experience. Guests can spend their days fishing for trout, kayaking, tubing, or simply enjoying the peaceful views from the property's outdoor spaces. As evening arrives, gather around the fire pit or unwind in the six-person barrel sauna beneath a canopy of mountain stars.

Inside, modern conveniences including high-speed Wi-Fi, comfortable gathering spaces, and a fully equipped home environment make it easy to settle in for extended stays. Whether visiting for a WCU event, graduation weekend, or a mountain escape, the property provides an ideal balance of recreation and relaxation.

Located just minutes from Sylva, Dillsboro, and some of Western North Carolina's most scenic landscapes, guests have easy access to hiking trails, trout streams, Blue Ridge Parkway drives, local breweries, and charming mountain towns. The result is a riverfront retreat that captures the best of the Smoky Mountains while offering a comfortable place to return to each day.
