Discover River Lodge Retreat, an established short-term rental property in the heart of Hot Springs, NC, offering a rare blend of income, expansion opportunity, and mountain tranquility. Spanning +/-8.5 private acres along the French Broad River, this property includes three furnished, income-producing cabins—each thoughtfully updated and surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature.
