Sweetwater Flyfishing Camp

Sweetwater Flyfishing Camp Sweetwater Fly Fishing Camp is a former trout lodge, located on nine acres, surrounded on all side b The Thompson River flows directly beside the cabin.

At the end of our private gated gravel road after a short drive through United States Forest you will find nine of the most beautiful acres in western North Carolina. The Property was formally operated as "Sweet Water Fly-Fishing Lodge" and has level access to the Thompson River, known for it's Brown Trout fishing and occasional wild Rainbow Trout . "White Owl Falls" is reachable from our two shor

t private hiking trails. This cabin is for families, hikers, trout fly-fisherman, hunters, and people looking to trade the stress of civilization for nature, beauty, and fresh air. Our nine acres includes a cabin located on a large mountain meadow surrounded in all directions by US Forest Land and the 500,000 acres of Pisgah National Forest. The Thompson River is mostly unaccessible by vehicle and typically only accessed by fisherman after a lengthy hike. Our property is one of the few spots accessible by vehicle. Both sides of this level trout river are private property for our renters’ exclusive use. Our property includes four trout holes and rough trails into Federal Forest Land for fishing, hiking, and exploration. Adjoining the property, a ten-minute walk from the cabin's front door is “White Owl Falls”, a fifty-foot waterfall and swimmable lagoon accessible from our property's private hiking trail. Down river from our property is “Tall Falls”. There are also two swimmable pools, river level and flow permitting, in the Thompson River on our private property. One pool just off the large back porch of the cabin and another pool a short walk through the forest. There is a large covered pavilion feet from the river, with a rock fire pit, picnic table and Adirondack chairs. The property is located on Whitewater Rd. In one direction a few miles north is the main entrance of North Carolina's Gorges State Park, named by National Geographic Magazine as one of the "50 last great places", and a few miles south is Whitewater Falls, the largest waterfall in the U.S. east of the Mississippi, and access to "The Foothills Trail, a seventy-six mile long distance hiking trail. The cabin's outdoor spaces include a large covered front porch facing the meadow, a large deck in the back, and a screened in porch just off the kitchen over looking the Thompson River and the Pisgah National Forest. Inside our rustic cabin the main floor has two bedrooms: the master bedroom, which has a queen bed and two large walk in closets, and a bedroom with bunk beds. These two bedrooms share access to the cabin's main bathroom. On the main floor there is also the kitchen, dining area, and living room, all open concept. The living room includes a simple gas fireplace. All bedrooms have baseboard heaters. Rarely is air conditioning needed, but if called for window air conditioners can be accessed. There is a downstairs with an additional two simple bedrooms, one with a full bed and one with a single bed and the house's washer and dryer. One of these bedrooms has direct access to the meadow. The second bathroom is downstairs and includes a full bath tub. The cabin intentionally does not have cable, internet, or land line phone service. There is a television, limited movie selection, and Blue Ray player that is on a movable stand for movie watching. This is a cabin for a family, group of friends, couple, hikers, or fishermen who value the beauty of nature, the forest, water falls, and being on a river. It is a simple cabin in the Pisgah National Forest where you are free to relax and will be at peace in the seclusion of the forest. If you are looking for a uniquely beautiful property to get back to nature you have found it. Located between Cashiers, North Carolina and Brevard, North Carolina in Sapphire, Transylvania County, North Carolina.

Saved a critter on a glue trap.

We are so excited that get up to the cabin and check out the new renovations. During this off season we have redone the front porch with sturdier decking and new goat wire railings that are less obstructive of the view. We also put in new wide board hard wood flooring on the second level and some new doors and windows.

"Keep Out Pool" named this because it is the beginning of Sweetwater Flyfishing Camp's private property. We did not even know this was here when we first saw the property. About a 100 yards from the cabin through the woods.
