Three streams, a pond, a small waterfall and 600 feet of frontage on a bend of the Tuckasegee River accent the six scenic acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was built with hand-hewn logs from old cabins and barns in the Smoky Mountain area. The River Lodge Bed and Breakfast invites relaxation. Elegantly rustic, the great room boasts a stone fireplace, vintage Brunswick billiards and a game table with a chess set. Many of the guest rooms feature balconies and handmade twig beds. Stay in the suite with a whirlpool tub and woodburning stone fireplace. Signature entrees highlight the gourmet breakfast served in the nook, dining room or outdoor patio.

Innkeeper Note

When traveling through the Smoky Mountain Region of Western North Carolina, we discovered how beautiful these mountains were no matter what time of year you visited this part of the country. We had been looking long and hard for the perfect place to open a bed and breakfast. When we came upon the River Lodge and realized we had found the house that fit our plans, we knew we were home at last. It took us almost a year to convert a 7,000 sq.foot private home into a bed and breakfast that accommodates six guest rooms . When we added the final touches, we were ready to open this beautiful lodge to many guests who travel through these breathtaking mountains to appreciate the same beauty we fell in love with on "our" first trip to the mountains fifteen years ago. Come, be our guests and see for yourself, you'll be glad you did!

My stay at The RiverLodge was like staying with family without all the drama. The site was beautiful, the food was "off the hook" and the innkeepers warm and friendly with lots of great stories to share.
