Wood-Planked River Walkway: A scenic path from the cabin straight to the water, ending at a wide sandy beach area along the river. ★ THE RIVER & WATERFALLS The Whitewater River is entirely private here, with no public access and no other cabins on the water. It's one of the best wild trout streams in western NC, home to rainbow, brown, and brook trout. A short private trail leads to six named waterfalls: Bedrock Falls, Canyon Falls, Entrance Falls, Exit Falls, Merge Lane Falls, and 55 MPH Falls. Bedrock Falls is also a favorite spot for tubing. Guests launch from the top of the falls and ride the current, and some take tubes all the way down to the calm lagoon at Exit Falls. Trout fishing is excellent in and around these spots: the pools above and below Bedrock Falls and the Exit Falls lagoon are go-to stretches on the property. Bedrock Falls has even hosted small private weddings. Hiking Notes: Bedrock Falls is the easier route, about a 20-minute walk from the cabin, family-friendly and great for kids. Exit Falls is the more adventurous option, with rope-assisted inclines and alternate route choices for those who want more of a challenge. ★ GREAT YEAR-ROUND Summer: swimming holes, waterfall hikes, tubing, boating at Lake Glenville (20 min) Fall: peak foliage, fire pit evenings, world-class trout fishing Winter: Ski Sapphire Valley (15 min), hot tub in the snow, sauna by the river Spring: wildflowers, raging waterfalls, fly fishing season
