Pack a cooler and spend a weekend in the great outdoors. In town there is rafting, tubing, and the hot mineral springs. There are a couple of restaurants and pubs too. Although town is just 10 minutes away, once you get here you won't want to leave. Owners Ken and Amy are the most hospitable people you will ever meet. They start a campfire on Friday and nights at the main house and it doesn't go out til Monday morning. Bring your guitars and sit around with them, or have your own fire at your private cabin. The cabins are rustic and mountain themed. You will enjoy the silence of a night of camping with the luxuries of a bed, hot running water, electricity, and a nice shower. They even have sweet tea in the fridge for you when you arrive!

We had a wonderful time at Mountainside Cabins! The cabin was perfect with a king bedroom, well…read morestocked kitchen, and four cozy twin beds upstairs. The living room and enclosed porch provided ample space for gathering with friends. There were many personal touches provided by the hosts that made our stay even better than expected. The mountain air was so refreshing and the views were breathtaking. We visited the town of Hot Springs nearby and had some delicious meals at a couple of local restaurants. This place is highly recommend if you want some time to unplug and unwind in a cozy setting. There is also great hiking and fishing along the French Broad River. We loved Mountainside Cabins and can't wait to go back!

Springbrook Cottages has five 50 amp full hookup RV sites, and we rented one for the weekend to visit my wife's parents. We were impressed. The campground area is right on Spring Creek, great for wading or trout fishing. The campsites are good sized and not very densely packed. And the pricing was very reasonable. The management is friendly and a pleasure to deal with. This is one of the few places we have camped where we weren't handed a list of rules upon arrival. Bridge Street, the main drag through Hot Springs is about two blocks away, and there are many shopping and dining options there.

I also love that the units have a porch that looks out on the creek. It is very near the train tracks, but that has never impacted my stay here. The owner does smoke in her office, which is also her home, but the units are smoke free, and she is very nice and always accommodating.

My sister and I, along with our two pups stayed in The Paw Print for a weekend to celebrate a…read morebirthday out in the peaceful mountains of Hot Springs, North Carolina. The drive up the mountainside was beautiful (and slightly scary) but oh-so worth it! I was relieved to have made it through the weekend without a flat tire considering the gravel roads we had to trek up to get to the cabin and to the beautiful hiking spots nearby. We made the whole trip in a Honda Accord but with the knowledge we have now, we'd likely get a more rugged rental car for our next visit. As for the cabin...right away I was in awe of how cute and cozy the whole cabin/property was! The cabin was perfectly stocked with everything you'd need for two guests (planning to share a comfortable queen-sized bed) - soap, towels, linens, dishes, silverware, etc. Everything you'd have to bring on your own was very explicitly and clearly stated on their website so we were more than prepared for the weekend trip. I've always loved the idea of "glamping" in a furnished cabin and this was everything and more. The cabin was decked out with new kitchen appliances, a toaster, plenty of pots and pans, drinking glasses, cooking spices, a clean stove top, washer/dryer, spacious shower with benches, outdoor grill, new bath vanity, adjustable TV, fireplace and easily-adjustable air conditioning unit with an electronic thermostat right on the wall. The outdoor patio had a table with bench seats and grill supplies such as an extra tank of propane, a lighter, a spatula and tongs. There was also a nice rocking bench fit for two, a fenced in yard for the pups and a cute little doggy door with a ramp leading straight from the patio to the yard. And saving the best for the last, the patio included a spacious private hot tub! Throughout the cabin, there were friendly, clearly written tips/instructions posted to remind you of how to adjust the thermostat, what settings to keep for the hot tub and how to use the washer/dryer, etc. This was very helpful! I also appreciated the "concierge book" of local activities, menus from local restaurants, and maps with directions to local hiking spots. This was helpful considering there were very few spots along the mountain-side where either of us got any service on our cellphones - a detail that is also clearly stated on their website. Overall, this was a wonderful, relaxing getaway I surely hope to repeat! Thank you to Amy, Mike and Lisa for all of your hardwork and attention to detail!

The cabin was adorable, sparkling clean, and wonderfully secluded. We enjoyed the gorgeous sunset mountain views from the porch and hot tub, and the amazing concierge book filled with restaurant menus, hikes, and activities. They have thought about everything you'd need! From a washer/dryer to a flashlight by the door to take your dog out at night. It was so nice to have no phone service and disconnect from city living for the weekend. I highly recommend this place and we will certainly be back soon! Bonus points, the town of Hot Springs was also very dog friendly! It was so fun to take her to the hardware store and out to lunch with us.

I don't think we've stayed in a better place while attending a wedding before...other than our own wedding, of course :) Callie and Dave were so friendly and caring. We felt very at home with them as our hosts. RiverDance was the perfect spot for our group too. We stayed with some newly acquired "friends" of the bride (like us) and we all had plenty of space to get to know each other without invading each other's space. The views are incredible too. We had so much fun returning from wedding events to just hang out together. I would recommend RiverDance to anyone who is visiting the Marshall / Hot Springs area. I know we will be back :)
