The River Lodge B&B

Cullowhee, North Carolina.

On a bend in the Tuckasegee River sits this elegant Smoky Mountain lodge built with 100 year old hand-hewn logs taken from old barns and cabins in the Smoky Mountains region. A comfy bed and a mouth-watering breakfast make for a memorable escape.

Bed and Breakfast Description

Our North Carolina bed and breakfast sits on six acres of grounds with several streams that flow into the Tuckasegee River. A cascading waterfall runs along the side of the inn. You can sit on the porches and balconies of the lodge and enjoy the river, waterfalls, streams and mountain views that surround you in this elegant retreat.

A massive stone fireplace stands boldly in the great room. Its hearth beckons you to sit and gaze into the glowing light of a beautiful fire that dances with your thoughts. Decorated with antiques, crafts and American Indian motif.

You will enjoy a good night's sleep on the queen size, log beds dressed with plush pillows and cozy comforters. Each room's accessories include woodcarvings, American Indian prints, mission oak, stick, and turn of the century furnishings.

The private baths lend much character. Claw footbath tubs with brass fixtures await you, along with separate showers. Pedestal sinks that take you back in time suggest old world charm with new world conveniences. Scented soaps, plush towels and warm bright colors fill the rooms to make your bathing experience a delightful one.

A special touch of flavors will awaken your taste buds as you begin to plan your day's adventures — whether that's touring Western North Carolina, hiking or shopping. Breakfast changes daily at our Smokey Mountain bed and breakfast, but always begins with freshly ground-perked coffees and specially selected teas.
