Tube, fish and swim in the Rocky Broad River – right out your back door!
Like a treasured jewelry box, Green Roof River Cottage beckons you to discover its many nooks and crannies and delight in its enticing contents. Rushing water over bare feet, mountain breezes from lofty porches, and fond memories of sun-kissed afternoons are just a few of the gems waiting for you when you vacation at this enchanting mountain cottage. This 1,800 square foot cottage, one of the earliest built in the Hickory Nut Gorge, has been lovingly restored and appointed with many modern amenities, but still has the quirkiness and charm of a bygone era.
River access from Green Roof River Cottage is like no other. Located on the Rocky Broad River in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, this historic mountain cottage allows you to wade, tube, swim, and fish right from your own backyard. Look no further for the best fishing spot in the gorge - you've got it right here at Green Roof River Cottage.
Not a fisherman? Then enjoy an outdoor meal at the picnic table down by the river. Grill hotdogs and roast marshmallows in the fire pit, or just sit and enjoy your favorite book The cottage itself is as delightful as its river setting. On the grounds surrounding the cottage, stone steps and a rock wall evoke memories of days gone by. With old fashioned plants such as Bearded Iris, Daylilies, and Hosta, you’ll think you’re in your grandmother’s backyard flower garden. English Ivy entwines along decades old stone chimneys, lending warmth and familiarity to this captivating outdoor space. There’s even an historic above-ground stone Springhouse, once used for keeping meat and dairy products cool, but now storing tubes and floats for the river and firewood for the cottage’s 4 wood burning fireplaces.
Inside, the cottage has been lovingly restored so the entire living space is upscale yet comfortable. Two steps up from the main floor is the spacious master bedroom with gleaming antique hardwood floors and French doors opening to a large, covered porch overlooking the river. Here you can enjoy your morning coffee in the porch swing as you wake up to warblers singing from the backyard Japanese Red Maple.
