If you do not have a crate your pet must be able to be left on the screened-in porch. You will be responsible for any damages created by your pet. We do not allow pets on the bedding or the furniture. And we expect you to clean up after your pet inside and out. If you allow your pet to enjoy the Cullasaja River with you, please make sure their paws are clean before going back into the cabin. We have supplied a water hose in case it's needed. We appreciate you following the rules of the River’s Edge Cabin so all our guests can enjoy their stay.

Great family get away
We enjoyed our stay! The house was clean and perfect for us and 2 kids. We enjoyed fishing in the creek and caught a few trout. We enjoyed playing games at night and built a bon fire. The location was perfect. We were able to visit some nearby waterfalls and drove south to Tallulah falls and Clayton Georgia for a day as well!

Fishing cabin
So, it was a very cold monday when I got there. Found the baseboard heaters and cabin was comfortable. This spot in the river is mesmerizing. It is an older, rustic cabin but was very comfortable, everything worked, and check-in and out was super easy. I'd definitely stay here again but would love to try it in the summer.

Comfy Cabin
Spent Thanksgiving with husband and daughter at this lovely cabin. Thoroughly enjoyed everything about it. Went horseback riding, spent time at Gold City Gem Mine nearby, and was just down the road from Dry Falls. Franklin nearby for lots of restaurants and shopping. House had everything needed for cooking. It was so very clean and inviting.

Perfect cabin on the river
We had the best vacation ever! The cabin is simply precious and the river location is perfect for kayaking, tubing, fishing, and relaxing. We loved sitting on porch overlooking the river. Listening to the river at night was so peaceful. The manager and hosts were amazing and quick to make sure we had everything we needed for a special retreat. Our family can’t wait for a third trip to the cabin on cullasaja!

We so enjoyed our stay, perfect location to see waterfalls, drive to Highlands, Cherokee, even Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge. We drove down the Dragon's Tail one day. Truly great central location to so much to do. We definitely want to come back in summer & just relax on the river. Jeanette was a wonderful host, even drove over to bring extra towels while recuperating from knee surgery. We loved our stay in such a cute, very clean little cabin.

A great mountain getaway!
Nice country cabin almost on top of the river. Listen to the relaxing flow of one of the best in the area. Everything you need at your fingertips. Gatlinburg a short drive to the north. Dillard house and great shops to the south. You never know Gatlinburg is an hour away because of Cherokee and the smokies on the way. You’re likely to see some elk sunning on the way up. You cant do wrong reserving this little piece of paradise.
