New Jersey Guests Enjoy Their RiverDance Stay

The mountains always seem to be a great backdrop for weddings, as of late. Being part of RiverDance for a few days felt like having “our own private retreat.” Our guests just wished they could have stayed longer to enjoy the rocking chairs on the porch, along with Midge!! These folks just loved RiverDance and perhaps said it all with:

"I think anywhere else we stay from now on will always be compared to RiverDance. I imagine we will say things like "this place is nice, but it's no RiverDance". RiverDance set the bar high when it comes to combining beauty, comfort, and hospitality."

RiverDance Welcome Crew

Midge certainly takes great pleasure in spending time with our guests, and gets a five star rating in our guest book! We have had other four footed friends enjoy the RiverDance experience as well, so bring your buddy along to explore the mountains.

Rafting the French Broad

Travel down the third oldest river, with the mountains as the scenic backdrop. The season has started as evidenced by the number of cars at USA Raft, French Broad, and Nantahala. We are happy to make those trip arrangements for you. After a day on the water, relax on the Carolina porch, enjoy the starts at night, and slumber in your comfortable sleeping quarters.
