Cozy Log Cabin on Heritage Farm Property. Hot Tub! Fireplace. River Access

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 another cooking option. 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. Other Notes: Please note, the drive down to the cabin is approximately a mile off of the main road. The majority of this "driveway" is gravel/dirt. The drive goes along the railroad tracks and is narrow at times. During times of rain there may be large puddles and some mud to drive through. We do recommend a vehicle with higher clearance. AWD or 4WD is not necessary. We drive a toyota rav 4, a kia sorrento and a honda pilot with no trouble, but we are use to rural mountain roads. 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. Hot Springs did experience flooding due to Hurricane Helene. The cabin was not affected. Open businesses include: the Hot Springs Resort and Spa (make reservations in advance), Big Pillow Brewing with the Grey Eagle Taqueria Food Truck, Vinyl Pies Pizzaria, the Vaste Riviere "Outpost," the Artisun coffee shop, Gentry Hardware, Smokey Mountain Diner, the Hillbilly Market (a small grocer that also makes sandwiches, and a couple of convenience stores. 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.About pets:No pets allowed.About checkOut:Check out before 11:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About checkIn:Check in after 4:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About minBookingAge:Minimum age to rent: 21.About events:No events allowed.
