Magical Cabin ~ River Access ~ Minutes from Town

Come unwind in this truly unique and authentic log cabin in a very peaceful setting close by to the town of Hot Springs. This 100+ year old cabin was disassembled from an old holler in Madison County and lovingly rebuilt by local craftsmen. Step back in time while enjoying modern conveniences of Wifi, a hot tub and a fireplace. The beautiful French Broad River is a short walk (5 minutes) from your front door. Your own park like setting.

The Limestone Cabin is a showcase of master craftmanship made from whole timbers and river rock.

Step onto the spacious front porch and into this magnificent cabin. The living room has cozy seating and a riverstone fireplace with gas firelogs for ease and comfort. A nice place to chill and connect or watch a little TV. The sofa is a sleeper sofa that can sleep an additional 2 people.

The downstairs of the cabin is all one open space. The kitchen has all the basics that you need to prepare and make meals if you choose to eat in. There is also a gas grill on the porch for other cooking options.

The bathroom on the main floor does have a shower, and we provide all linens for your stay.

Up the steps from the living room is the loft and new king bed. There is a half bath located in the loft as well.

Besides the beauty of the cabin itself, we think it has several awesome features:

There is a hot tub on the back porch! Perfect way to start your day with a cup of coffee, or end the day after exploring our beautiful area.

The large front porch that looks out at the French Broad River! Yall, the porch feels huge! Ideal spot for yoga, playing cards, hanging out, reading, or whatever you feel like doing on a front porch!

River Access!

The French Broad River is a short walk from Limestone (5 minutes) and is part of this property. There is a large hayfield that is harvested a couple of times a year. When the hay is growing, we mow some paths into the field so guest can walk around. Depending on what your activity schedule is, you may never want to leave this spot. Perfect for a picnic, fishing, and watching the water roll by. For added enjoyment you may bring your favorite camp chairs or hammock setup. We have made a walkway down to the river on the far right of the field.

Other Notes:

The cabin is managed by a local hosting team, Hot Springs Getaway.

The railroad track does pass through, and there are trains that still travel through the mountains to and from Knoxville to Asheville maybe twice per day. In a time before there were cars and rail transport, the road to Limestone and beyond was called the Drover's Road, where merchants would walk their goods to and from markets along the French Broad.

The cabin is located less than 5 miles to the sweet town of Hot Springs, NC. We think Hot Springs is a wonderland in all seasons. There are plenty of activities in the area to check out, such as rafting the French Broad with one of our local companies, hiking a section of the Appalachian Trail, taking a soak at the Hot Springs mineral baths at the Resort and Spa, visiting some of our great area shops and restaurants. If you venture a little over an hour away, you could explore Asheville or take a fun trip to Dollywood.

I think people who are wanting to find a getaway that is low key, in an amazing area, and abundant in nature will enjoy spending time at Limestone. It is a marvelous place of wonder, and a bit of an automatic reset to a more relaxed mindset.

The businesses that are open in town include The Hot Springs Resort and Spa (call in advance to book your mineral soak appointment), Big Pillow Brewing with the Grey Eagle Taqueria food truck, Vinyl Pies with their delicious brick oven pizza, Bluff Mountain Outfitters, Hot Springs Rafting Company, Vaste Riviere Outpost, Artisun Coffee and Emporium, Sara Jo’s Gas Station, Smoky Mountain Diner, Dollar General, and a couple of beverage/small grocery stores. They would love your business.

Many trails are accessible around the area, and Hot Springs is a central location for adventures in Western North Carolina, East Tennessee, and the Smokey Mountains National Park. Nearby attractions are the Biltmore Estate, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and more.

This cabin offers its guests a hot tub, barbecue grills, and laundry facilities. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Hot Springs cabin is smoke free.
