OUR AMENITIES

A Living Experience in Accord with Nature

French Broad Crossing has a wide range of nature-based amenities for families to enjoy. These amenities were thoughtfully designed to enhance the natural beauty of their surroundings, blending seamlessly into the majestic terrain that makes up French Broad Crossing.

River Lodge

This beautiful timber-frame facility—with large boulders found onsite and used as its base—is the social hub for French Broad Crossing. This is where families gather for seasonal events, small dinners, or spur-of-the-moment get-togethers. The Lodge was constructed using the very latest green building techniques. Local artisans, stone masons, carpenters, and blacksmiths created the details and finishes that give the stately lodge its rustic and natural character. Adjacent to the Lodge is a fully equipped Wellness Center and Pool.

Wellness Center & Pool

Located adjacent to the River Lodge, the Wellness Center & Pool, offers guests the opportunity to workout, recover, and relax. The very latest cardio machines and equipment give you a great way to begin the day or get the heart pumping after an afternoon of fishing. The picturesque family pool and attached hot tub—which overlook the French Broad River—provide ideal opportunities to while away the day, affording incredible views of the river below and mountains in the distance.

Ancient Majesty: French Broad River

More than anything else, what defines and distinguishes French Broad Crossing is its namesake river. North Carolina’s French Broad River is the third oldest on the planet, older than both the Nile and Amazon—and it’s central to the way of life at French Broad Crossing. The River Lodge, as well as many homes and homesites, overlook the magnificent river which has become a popular destination for whitewater rafting and kayaking, fly-fishing, paddleboarding, and more.
