This is more than just a vacation rental; it's an immersive experience where luxury meets the beauty of nature.

Spacious Accommodations: Three main bedrooms: 2 with king beds and the 3rd with a custom-built adult bunk bed (twin XL over queen with twin XL trundle). Two luxury folding twin beds in the basement offer additional sleeping options. Main level has 2 full bathrooms and the basement level has a 3rd full bathroom in the main log cabin. The separate Guest Cottage includes an additional king bed and a queen sleeper sofa, a kitchenette, and a full bathroom. Enjoy Samsung Smart TVs in every bedroom and common area.

Fully Equipped Gourmet Kitchen: Prepare delicious meals in our expansive kitchen—equipped with two sinks, brand new stainless steel appliances (including a gas stove with built-in griddle), granite countertops, and our famous Pay-It-Forward pantry, often stocked with spices, essentials, and treats left by previous guests! The handmade 8’ black walnut river table seats your whole group comfortably.

Game Room & Play Nook: Rainy days are a breeze with our expansive basement game room, featuring a 70” Samsung Smart TV, board games, an old-school Ms. Pac-Man arcade, foosball, and a Wii with numerous games. Upstairs, a delightful loft area serves as both a quiet reading nook (stocked with books for all ages) and a fun play area for children, complete with a road rug, toys, and two Nugget comfort couches.

My family and I started hosting guests in 2016 on Topsail Island. We enjoyed sharing our love of travel and creating family and friend memories we continued to add to our NCEscapes family. Riverside Memories is a combination of my husband's love of log cabins and the mountains/ forested areas with my love of water both with the river and the inground pool overlooking the river.
