About this property

Home away from Home on the South Toe River! Everything you need to enjoy the view and relax. Our home is accessible no matter what the weather. County maintained asphalt roads all the way to the driveway.
This home has 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths on the main level and a bedroom and a full bath in the finished basement. In the basement there is a game table and many games in the closet. The Custom Bar and game table are all done in tasteful log cabin decor. Sorry.. the bar is not stocked. BYOB The comfy sectional couch is a great place to hang out with a 50" smart tv. A walk out porch is the perfect place to swing and enjoy the view.
Upstairs enjoy the gas fireplace and watch your favorite TV show on the 50" smart tv. Read a book on the upper deck at the table under the umbrella as the birds eat at the feeders down below. Hummingbirds abound in the spring and you can see the trout swimming in the shallow waters in the South Toe River. In the summer, you can rent tubes and drop the kids off upstream for them to get out right at your back yard. Trout fishermen are a common sight as well as other families floating downstream. If the water is high enough, you will see a few kayaks floating down river. Sleep at night with your windows open and let the sounds of the river lull you off to sleep! Wake up refreshed with a great cup of tea or coffee at the kitchen table which looks right out at the South Toe River.
No Matter what time of the year it is, the view is astoundingly peaceful!
The main level has 2 steps to get in and there is a set of stairs inside to get down to the basement where the game table and bar and sectional with tv are located.

River Oasis

We had a lovely time at this place. The house was inviting and we enjoyed seeing the River view when we woke up every morning. It was a bit cold in the mountain but we didn’t mind since we had access to an indoor jacuzzi tub. We also had fun playing games at the poker table. We made sone good family memories.

Absolute heaven!

This is our second time to stay at this house in this wonderful location. My son and his family live a couple of miles from this house and my grandson wants to be an avid fisherman. The house is so comfortable and well appointed. Although we like to go out I love to cook and my family loves to have me cook for them. The kitchen is well stocked and having a dishwasher is essential. I don't do dishes at home! Why would I want to do them on vacation? Sitting on the deck listening to the sounds of the river while having dinner (or ANY meal!) is so relaxing. Thank you Robin and Mike for sharing your wonderful home with us!

Perfect get away

Not much could be done to improve this stay. From the comforts of the bed to the speed of the internet this property rocked. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. Great touch is that all the light switches are labeled! Property itself is idealistic on the river’s edge. Oh, to have coffee while watching the river any season of the year!

Zip Lining Weekend

Came for a long weekend to go zip lining. The cabin was very comfortable, clean, and homey! We found everything we needed to cook full meals. The hot tub and fireplace were nice features. Would love to come back during the warmer months and try tubing in the creek out back :)

Marvelous Escape on the River

My girls and I immediately loved & adores this home and property. Immediately one of my daughters, made a comment we are coming back here again. Felt so comfortable in the house like I was at my home. Every morning a doe came down to the river. Two mornings she brought her young fawn. Absolutely enjoyed our escape here.

Mountain getaway on the river

Great location right on the river. Kids loved fishing and exploring the river. A bit of a winding drive to get there, which becomes part of the adventure! House was cute and comfortable and well stocked. We fit our family of 6 comfortably and had great hiking excursions during the day, and campfires at night. Great place to get away and spend time in nature in the mountains.

Dream Mountain River Getaway

What an amazing property! Location was exactly what we were looking for! Lots of privacy, but not too far from any stores to get food/groceries. We loved that we could fish right in the back yard (we even caught some trout on the first day!) It was super close to tons of trailheads and, of course, the obligatory trip to the summit of Mt. Mitchell. While the surrounding area was beautiful, we actually spent one of our days just hanging around the house since it was so peaceful and relaxing. Definitely a great spot for families! One of the standout highlights was Robin’s customer service and hospitality. Such great hosts! Hope to be back soon! Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Robin and Mike Fowler (mostly Robin 😊)

Mike and Robin are empty nesters with two grown sons; Mike is retired from the US Army and Robin owns her own business. Oldest son is in the Army following in Dad's footsteps and youngest son is working with youth at the church he grew up in.

Why they chose this property

Mike went to college at Western Carolina University and his parents bought a home in the general area many years ago. We spent many years looking for just the right home and it HAD to be on the river. Mike really enjoys fly fishing and Robin just likes the serenity of being close to the water. Both of us actually grew up in South Florida so having a home in the mountains has always been a dream for us.

What makes this property unique

When we get there it isn't unusual for Robin to just settle in, read books and relax. We enjoy going to the square to eat and visit our favorite clothing and gift shops. For lunch, there is the Garden Deli where you can eat inside or out and it's right on the square. There is a new Brewery off the square HomePlace which has pretty good food. In the spring, summer and fall, there is a craft fair featuring all kinds of local ware right on the square. There is a quaint little ONE SCREEN old-time theater that we are hoping gets refurbished and there is even live theater at Parkway Playhouse. You can check for events on Yancey County Chamber of Commerce website. Mt Mitchell Golf Course is 10 minutes up the road and Carolina Hemlocks is a state park/camp site where you can rent tubes and play in the river. Grandfather Mountain is about 45 minutes away and has great view and places to picnic. Crabtree Falls is a campground/state park that allows you to follow the trail down to view a very cool 60 ft waterfall, just remember you have to hike back up. Be sure and take the walking sticks provided at the house! This is a challenging hike. You can do a lot or nothing at all and still have a wonderful time.
