Sleep to the sounds of the river. Make sure to check the other notes for sleeping arrangements. 15 min to Waynesville and 30 min to Asheville.

The space
Drive thru the lush property to this rustic and modern home, sitting right on the river, safely elevated and surrounded by trees. The open beam ceiling boasts a rustic cabin feel. With a fully stocked kitchen, you can cook to your heart's content. Open all the windows and enjoy the breeze! You can come as you are and relax in the home, lounge on the decks, enjoy the river and soak in the hot tub right on the river, have a fire, grill out, play darts, cornhole or just explore the property. The property is wooded with walking paths and 800 ft of private river for swimming, tubing, fishing, and sometimes snorkeling. In the summer it's very private and protected by the leaves. In the winter it is a more open view to neighbors but still plenty of privacy. There is an easy-access beach area and an island that is ever-changing as the river comes and goes—plenty of outdoor seating options. RiverRocks is a special natural setting that is beautifully rugged and tranquil. Can be enjoyed year round...always accessible. ***please see the "other details to note" section on sleeping arrangements.

Guest access
The entire property is yours to enjoy except for areas that are marked off for your safety for riverbank repairs which will not affect your stay at all. The driveway is private and only shared on occasion with the owner who's residence is beyond the cabin. The property is 8 acres and has plenty of river access. The river is not too deep which makes it perfect for dropping a chair in and floating on a tube in most areas. However, depending on river height there are deep swimming holes too on upper part of river. The river heights vary based on rainfall amounts so it's an ever-changing experience. Naturally beautiful with the forest left natural. The river is yours to enjoy however please do not go on other property's riverbanks.

Other things to note
The home is a cozy 1100 sf cabin open concept. The second bedroom is open to the living room and has thick double layered drapery instead of doors to experience the view and light into the house but there are no solid doors in this room and no doors on the open loft with the twin beds. Be aware there is river bank can be too steep in some areas for river access so we just like guests to be aware. There are access points right in front of the house and along the riverbank upriver to the left. RiverRocks has an age requirement of 25 for the main booking party. Children are welcome but take caution for their safety with this property. Only the booking party is allowed on the property. If you wish to have other people join you for the day use of the river.... a 35 daily use fee/pp and an additional waiver must be signed by your guests and this must be done in advance of your booking. Proper footwear for everyone and flotation devices are recommended for toddlers. There are more details in the rules and policy section once you book. please review these rules.

Neighborhood highlights

Cruso is a charming rural mountain community nestled in the shadow of Cold Mountain within Pisgah National Forest. This home sits directly on the scenic East Fork Pigeon River and is not located within a restricted community. Although the property is situated off Main Cruso Road, a private driveway leads down to the house and riverfront, offering a peaceful and secluded setting. While you may occasionally hear distant traffic, the home feels private and relaxing — secluded without being remote.
The location is convenient and easily accessible, just 12 minutes from Canton, 15 minutes from Waynesville, 25 minutes from West Asheville, and 30 minutes from downtown Asheville. A convenience store and fuel station are only 2 minutes away, while the Blue Ridge Parkway is just 15 minutes from the property. You'll also be within 20–30 minutes of incredible hiking trails and waterfalls, 45 minutes from Brevard, and about 1.5 hours from Gatlinburg.
Enjoy the perfect balance of convenience and tranquility — close to everything you need, yet far enough away to experience a truly peaceful mountain getaway. The owners’ property is located across the river and beyond the neighboring cabin, and during the summer months, the lush trees provide added privacy and make neighboring homes difficult to see.

I am so blessed to live in such a beautiful place, and the river here is magical and healing. I love to remodel homes. I'm pretty hands-on on so you'll usually see me in jeans and boots & possibly a toolbelt! I love to share this beautiful place with others who are ready to relax and appreciate the nature and beauty of this river and property. So, come as you are. Relax, play, and enjoy! Let me know how I can make your trip the best it can be :)
