The Cabin at the Swinging Bridge is a charming, three bedroom, and one bath mountain cabin on the South Toe River, in the mountains of Western North Carolina. You'll enjoy the screened breakfast porch and deck, as well as outdoor activities that are literally in the front yard! The views from this property are inspiring and if you're into trout fishing you can do it right in the front yard!
The South Toe River runs through the property and families love the convenience of fishing and swimming at the cabin. The swinging bridge is only 150 feet away and is always an attraction as well as the deer which come into the yard daily! The cabin offers rustic mountain charm that includes a full kitchen, a comfortable country family room / dining room and a covered porch facing the river.

The original part of the house was built in the depression on land that once belonged to my great grand-parents, John Patrick Autrey and Harriet Gibbs Autrey. It was built for my aunt and uncle, Mary and Roy Autrey. The cabin was built by Uncle Roy's three brothers, one of which was my dad, Gene Autrey.
The Cabin at the Swinging Bridge has 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, a full country kitchen and family room inside the cabin as well as a screened porch and covered front deck outside. Inside the kitchen you'll find a pass-thru bar, range, refrigerator/freezer w/icemaker, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, and of course the sink with a continuous supply of fresh, mountain well water.
The Cabin at the Swinging Bridge is located within 5-10 minutes of Mount Mitchell Golf & Country Club, as well as Mount Mitchell State Park. That puts golf and some amazing views and hiking trails all within a few minutes from your stay. For those unaware, Mount Mitchell is the highest elevation east of the Mississippi River!

Traffic can be heard from the front porch, and we were "asked" to not lock the extirior doors because Ron the owner has lost the keys. Ron also lives less than 50 yards from this structure in his own house, so the setting is hardly
