All the mountain cabin perks!

We stayed for a weekend with my in-laws and 7yr old. The view of the river and surrounding mountain top is lovely. We tried fishing, used the hot tub, bbq-ed, sat at the fire pit, used the kitchen for preparing meals. Cabin is cozy, two nice balconies, long staircase to the river with nice seating area. Everyone enjoyed their time there. We’d stay again and hopefully for longer!

The Perfect NC Mountain Vacation Spot!

My family of 5 (hubby and kids) take an annual trip to the NC Mountains and our main purpose is finding the best river/creek for trout fishing. We've never fished/stayed on the Hiawassee and this place was PERFECT! The river was right out the back door and the deck access was high and long but equipped with TWO landing decks for resting and relaxing before reaching the bottom at the river's edge. I was impressed with the benches and rocking chairs on each landing. Both decks (1st and second floor) had ample sitting and was very clean. The hot tub is the second (bottom) deck right outside of the king BR and Bunk BR doors. The bedroom on the first (top) floor was the largest and also with a king bed. The bathroom on 1st floor has the whirlpool tub and is amazing. The whole home is immaculate and decorated nicely with the stained glass mixed with some type of animal horns, mountain lion skin mounted on a wall, and beautiful paintings by someone M. Scott. My husband was intrigued by the paintings. The bathrooms are well stocked and the kitchen well stocked, too. The open floor plan made family time special and close together for eating and watching tv. There is a neighbor next door on one side but the situation of the homes gives privacy. As for fishing - my 9 year old son caught a 5.77lb, 23inch long rainbow trout on the first night!!! I kid you not! I have pictures. I think we'll stay again if they'll have us! I recommend!

Un lugar muy agradable y seguro para pasar un buen tiempo en familia, cubrió mi expectativa y me gustó que tenia calefacción alterna por si el clima afecta la eléctrica y los paisajes hermosos

Beautiful, Relaxing Get-Away

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Spent a wonderful week relaxing and sight-seeing around Murphy, NC and the Blue Ridge Parkway. The cabin is in a great location on the river, no steep drives, very clean, comfortable beds, and well furnished. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting by the river and fire pit, the area feels secluded and is very quiet. A short drive into Murphy brought us to restaurants and antique shops. We also visited the Nottely Vineyard and the Hiawassee Dam which had beautiful views. We will definitely be back!

Away from home job.

My employee and I had a job to do for a week in Murphy. We felt comfortable and at home and had our own space rather than being in a hotel. The environment of this home felt like home....

Hidden Gem with loads of amenities!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful vacation home that sits directly on the Hiawassee River, offering a stunning view each morning. This house has everything needed to walk in and feel at home. We stayed a week with children and grandchildren, accommodating very comfortably. Even though we had a couple day trips, the majority was spent gathering with family making incredible memories. Communication from the start to finish was excellent, thanks Tara, we can’t wait to return.
