CastAway Waterfront Rustic Cabin Very Private With Outdoor Cabana
Come relax in this luxurious new log cabin just completed in December 2022. CastAway Cabin is unlike any other properties in the area and is situated at the end of the road on a private 65 acre estate located in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains This very private getaway is just 25 minutes from Asheville and the Biltmore Estate and 10 minutes from downtown Waynesville. CastAway Cabin is along the elegant/rustic flavor. Just minutes away from Cataloochee snow skiing as well as hiking and fishing. The lawn just in front of the cabin gently slopes to the river just steps from the front porch. CastAway Cabin is located 1 mile from I-40 exit 24 and 25 minutes from downtown Asheville. Take a mere 10 minute drive and enjoy all that downtown Waynesville or Maggie Valley has to offer from fine dining to some of the best breweries in the area. The Blue Ridge Parkway runs all along this area and the cabin is just minutes away from several of its entrances. CastAway Cabin is constructed from mostly reclaimed materials. After a lifetime of tearing down old barns and cabins it was time to put some of the reclaimed wood to good use. The oak logs were all reclaimed from standing dead timber right here on the property. The ceilings throughout the cabin are made from reclaimed beetle kill ash trees harvested just across the river. The flooring is made from 100+ year old reclaimed heart pine. All of the trim work in the cabin is reclaimed barn wood salvaged from local barns that we have dismantled through the years. 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. Take a short stroll down the front lawn and be fishing within minutes of your arrival or set up a guided float trip or fly fishing excursion with some of our highly recommended local guides. The cabin offers one bedroom with a king size bed and pillow top mattress. The bathroom is well equipped with full sized front load washer and dryer as well as a beautiful travertine shower. The kitchen has most everything for your cooking needs. The cozy living room has a beautiful natural native stone fireplace with gas logs. The TVs in both the living room and the bedroom are internet TVs so you can watch all your favorite shows on Netflix âŠetc. Stroll out to the cabana and fire up the grill and enjoy the sound of the river passing by. You will more than likely see some kind of wildlife during your stay from the deer, bear, turkeys, squirrels, hawks and the bald eagles that patrol the river. CastAway Cabin is truly a one of a kind getaway and is a working farm as well. The property is home to a cattle herd and our daughters horse Rosie that all frequent the field just in front of the cabin. With four unique private log homes available on the property nowâŠRiverbend Cabin (listing number 7843149), Paradise Cabin (listing number 1148597), and Cedar Cliff Cabin (listing number 2232038) and now CastAway Cabin please message us to reserve 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.

We loved this private comfy retreat! The cows were so cute and the scenery was lovely. We loved relaxing in the cozy cabin, and Jack and Christy were wonderful hosts!
This was such a quiet and beautiful place to stay! We definitely plan on returning! The hosts were very responsive and beyond welcoming. We only have good things to say about our stay!
We had the most amazing relaxing time. The drive to the cabin is absolutely beautiful. It was nice to wake up and sit on the porch and read and just hear the water. We loved every second there. Keep up the good work guys. It was an amazing place. Youâve done a good job with it.
It was an amazing stay! The beautiful little cabin was nestled down by the river were we enjoyed listening to the water running over the rocks every morning with coffee.
The property was perfectly cozy for my husband and myself. We sat on the porch every morning enjoying our coffee and watched the birds and listened to the river. One morning we were blessed with a couple geese on the river. The cabin feels very secluded but is close enough to shopping and restaurants.
Cast Away cabin was PERFECT for our anniversary! Absolutely Gorgeous! Listening to the river all day was extremely relaxing. A wonderful break from the noise. Jack and Christy are not only welcoming but also very thoughtful. They have truly poured alot of love into the cabin! Spectacular views, craftmanship, decor, ammenities, nothing was missed. My husband and I were amazed by all of the small details added. We can't wait to visit again!
This was our second time staying at Castaway Cabin and it's the perfect place to get away from a busy world and celebrate our anniversary. Jack and Christy are very responsive and even offered earlier check in since the cabin was ready
Jack and Christy do an outstanding job of creating a warm, welcoming and relaxing experience in their lovely cabin on the river. We had a wonderful time and I cannot recommend this lovely place highly enough! You will not be disappointed. They thought of literally everything for your comfort and enjoyment.
You couldnât ask for a better location. The cabin and view was far above what we expected. Once you get there you will not want to leave and Jack and Christy are great host. I would highly recommend booking this property
If you are looking for off the beaten path but yet close to things to do you donât have to look further. Jack & Christy have really hit the mark when it comes to luxury. Every little detail has been thought of down to binoculars on the porch! We definitely will be coming back to WNC as we barely began to see everything we want to. Thank you for a great getaway and for checking in on us when we got there- 10/10!
Great little getaway cabin for 2. The owner has a few rental cabins on thebriver on his property, so just make sure to get directions from him to get to the right spot (the address is to the entire property). The cabins are sporadic through the property, so you still have the feel (and reality) of being secluded.
It is hard to add to the previous reviews that are all perfect scores and with glowing comments for the cabin(s) and for Jack and Christy. Here is what I can say... the most important measure in a successful business is the amount of return business. Jack and Christy have MANY returning guests who so love the cabins, the river, the mountains, and the people. Jack and Christy have done amazing things to recover the land and river from a once in a millennium disaster... a flood. But, they are back better than ever. Everything is great, so good, that we too will return in Sep for another visit to try one of the other cabins. This is a special place, cared for by special people. Don't miss it!!!
First, the photos donât do this place justice. You have three different spots to sit outside with coffee or a cocktail, overlooking the river. We watched osprey hunt for fish, had bonfires every night, and hiked around the property. The owners should write a manual on how to outfit a rental. We arrived to wine, a nice note, and some lovely snacks. Everything we needed - from coffee filters to binoculars to firewood - was already there for us, laid right where the need might arise. Weâd rent here again in a heartbeat.
Our Castaway Cabin stay was wonderful and truly an unforgettable experience. Firstly, the cabin is even better in person than the pictures portray. It is cozy, comfortable, immaculately clean and makes you feel relaxed the moment you walk in. Add the complete privacy plus serenity of the woods and creek and you experience nature at its best. Jack and Christy are excellent hosts who really care about you. All in all a 10,rating.
From the minute we drove up you could tell this place was going to be amazing! It had everything we could possibly need. We loved the scenery and spent most of our time outside. The inside was beautiful and so clean and cozy! Would definitely recommend and we will definitely be back!!
Amazing & Beautiful 5-Star property! Steps from gorgeous Pigeon River for relaxing and fly fishing. We will definitely be back again soon. Thank you for an Amazing week!
I rented the cabin for my parents 37th wedding anniversary and they had the most relaxing and peaceful stay. I visited my parents one day at the property and the listing pictures do not do it justice. The cabin is far above any other cabin Iâve ever rented. The custom woodwork and attention to detail should be award winning. Not to mention peace and tranquility the cabin has to offer nestled right on the Pigeon River. The cabin was amazing and will definitely be enjoying this cabin for myself soon.
I booked this home for my parents anniversary and they absolutely loved it! They said that it was the best vacation theyâve ever had and that the place was absolutely beautiful. The hosts were very kind and even went above and beyond by dropping off a cake for them as a gift for their anniversary. The home was exceptionally clean and had everything they needed. They canât wait to take another trip there soon!
Very nice waterfront cabin. Jack and Christy provided everything you need. Everything in the cabin is high quality. Enjoy your fishing while youâre staying there. We would recommend to stay here if you like privacy!
