Wrong Way River Lodge & Cabins

Wrong way River Lodge & Cabins is one of the neatest places to stay in Asheville. Their focus is on getting people to enjoy the outdoors and making community around a camp fire all while providing clean, well lit cabins that have a record player and balcony looking over the French Broad River to enjoy. Highly recommend.

Wrong Way is one of our favorite places to stay. The rooms and grounds are always so clean. Every staff member is so nice and it is very dog friendly. The location is great with green space and the river across the road. Easy access to River Arts District, Biltmore Village and West Asheville. Already looking forward to our next stay!

I’ve hosted two events now at Wrong Way Lodge for my real estate business and it’s the perfect venue for both business and personal gatherings! One event was in The Eddy, a spacious downstairs area with surround sound, private bathrooms, a kitchenette, and direct access to a big porch leading to a fire pit. The setup is seamless, with plenty of tables, linens, and chairs, plus cozy hammock chairs on the deck. The modern yet warm design suits any occasion, and unloading is a breeze with direct porch access. My second event was a family photo shoot for my clients that we hosted in The Meadow. The mountain and river views provided a stunning backdrop and the picnic tables and a fire pit area were great for hanging out and picnicking. The staff is professional, constantly helpful, and ensures everything is ready on arrival. Highly recommend Wrong Way Lodge—it’s my top choice for hosting events!

This was our second trip there, but it was our first time since the hurricane that flooded the River Arts District. The cabins are all adorable and comfortable, I've stayed in their regular cabins and their ADA Cabins, with the ADA cabin being slightly larger especially in the bathroom. It's close to all the different areas of the city and across the street from a nice long trail for biking, running, or dog walking.

Our family stays in Asheville every summer when we pick up our daughter from camp and we typically book a rental house. But this year, after reading about the Wrong Way River Lodge & Cabins, we decided to change it up and book a cabin instead. This was the best choice: we loved our stay at Wrong Way! The cabins were clean, comfortable, nicer than most hotel rooms, and had a unique, cool vibe. The property was lovely and the air smelled fresh, scented with the lavender that's grown along the pathways. Delicious coffee and a terrific selection of local snacks and cold beer could be found in the lodge, and the guests in neighboring cabins were all chill and friendly; happy fellow travelers! I had mentioned to the owners that our younger daughter would be celebrating her birthday during our stay and when we arrived there was an adorable birthday card for her in our room. It made her day! Also, our car broke down during the trip and the owners and staff were very kind and helpful, recommending a local mechanic who could help us out. You can tell they are really good people who put their hearts into this place. We can't wait to return under our own less-stressful circumstances and enjoy an outdoor nap in one of the porch hammocks and maybe a communal campfire. We know the property sustained some damage during the floods from Helene, but we have faith that they will make a full recovery. We can't wait to visit Wrong Way again!
