Overview:
Pigeon River Cottage exudes an inviting ambiance, boasting an open floor plan that seamlessly blends old-world ...
Our cottage is an old riverfront bungalow that has been thoughtfully updated and is roomy and comfortable. The cottage sleeps four people generally, however a comfy rollaway cot is located in the guest room closet if needed. We also have a pack and play and high chair available if needed.
While the cottage is riverfront, we were fortunate not to sustain flood damage inside the home during Hurricane Helene.
Rural but not too remote, Pigeon River Cottage is located in the beautiful and close knit community of Bethel. With easy access to Canton, Waynesville, Asheville, Sylva, and Blue Ridge Parkway, you will be close to everything you need!
Spectacular Riverfront Relaxation
From the moment you pull into your covered driveway you will exude a sigh of relief! This property will draw you in and you'll never want to leave. It's warm and inviting. The living space is airy and comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you can imagine. The beds have fabulous linens and the bathrooms have soft, fluffy towels. As perfect as the interior of the home is, the outdoor space is unbelievable! The huge riverside fire pit had comfortable Adirondack chairs with cup holders. A bundle of wood awaited our first fire, which was the first of many. We watched the deer play in a field across the river, a bald eagle fly a regular path above, a Peregrine Falcon hunt its prey, hawks with wings spread wide, woodpeckers, and a constant melody from colorful birds. We enjoyed hiking in the mountains, shopping in Historic Waynesville, attending festivals and eating local fruits and vegetables. We stayed at this fabulous house for five weeks and didn't want to leave!
