Just outside of town and along the river, this new complex immediately grabs your eye.
It’s a bizarre sight from the road, a range of A-Frame cabins on concrete stilts lined along the street across from the river. The aesthetic—Scappalachian as its owners have dubbed it, merging Scandinavian with Appalachian—is comforting without being ordinary. The cabins are made of SIPS boards and clad with different types of wood from trees cut down on the property when it was being built. A charming little gravel path winds along the entrances to each cabin.
The base of the property, 13 cabins in total, is in the river’s flood plain thus the concrete pillars.The cabins are self check-in with a code, so if you want to be antisocial you can, but there is a central lodge with a canteen and lounge where you can mingle with other guests and locals, as the owners are determined that it be a space open to all.The property gets its name from the idea that the French Broad River, like the Nile, flows the “wrong way” or south to north.
