Perfect Large Family Get Together

Our large family had a wonderful time celebrating Christmas at this lovely home. This is a modern clean home with lots of conveniences and entertaining options. The kitchen was well equipped with more than we needed and we also used the grill. Is nicer in person than the pictures show. The setting on the river is beautiful. The nights were chilly so we enjoyed both fire pits. The pool table room was a big hit. Gwendy the host was kind and quickly responded to some questions I had prior and while at the property. We all agreed that we would love to come back.

Beautiful home and view of the river

Home is in a beautiful part of Hayesville NC - the river view was fabulous, and we fished the river each day there. Home is fully equipped and plenty of space. Very clean property and host is easy to communicate with. We all enjoyed our time there.

Beauty By the River

We had a wonderful time staying in this lovely home on the river! The house has everything you could ever think of and every room is beautifully decorated with comfort in mind. The wrap around screened in porch is fabulous! It has several different sitting/eating areas...perfect for the mountain rains! There are two different fire pit areas...one down by the river! Great hiking trails! Great restaurants nearby! Beautiful view of the river and mountains! Very private!This is a great home for large families...two kitchens, two living areas, lots of outdoor spaces, lots of beds!I felt like I was at a five star summer camp as an adult

Idyllic Riverside Retreat

Wonderful home with natural beauty and a great view of the Hiawassee river down hill. The house boasts 5 bedrooms with comfortable beds and lots of entertainment options including pool table, ping pong and cornhole. All the guests in my party thoroughly enjoyed the stay

Annual Labor Day Family Gathering

River Run was perfect for our large family. We thoroughly enjoyed the large gathering spaces on the porch for games, relaxation and great conversation. We loved floating the river on tubes —perfect weather. The pool table, ping pong table, and corn hole are always a big hit with our family. Having TVs available in all the gathering spaces, even the porch, was fabulous as we always gather to watch college football -Roll Tide & Go Vols!! The kitchen was big enough for meals & we had dinner out one night at Black Dog in downtown Hayesville which accommodated our group of 11 that night. We will definitely be back at this home in the future!!!

Peaceful and Perfect!

We took 14 people (3 families) to the mountains for a week long retreat from our church. We couldn’t have picked a better place! The home was amazing and the river was a great place to spend time and enjoy the water. The outdoor fire pits created fun memories, and the bed swing on the screened in porch was one of the most relaxing and peaceful places to sit in the morning with a cup of coffee as you listen to the flowing water from the river reading God’s word. The house provides plenty of space and privacy. Everything was top notch! We can’t express enough what a blessing this was for our small church group. Thank you for providing such a beautiful home to us it was everything we needed❣️

Family Time

Our family tries to get together every year for a family vacation and have had the opportunity to stay in many rentals. It's hard to find one large enough to accomodate us all. The pictures do not do this house justice. It is so beautiful, and had so many personal touches. Everyone from the adults to the children loved staying here. The highlights were the pingpong and pool table, the cornhole toss and the fire pit, but most of all the access to the beautiful backyard river. The kids loved taking dips in the cool water, finding what they thought were gems, seeing the deer in the yard, and being active outside. We found beatiful trails along gorgeous creeks and did not even have to travel very far. Beautiful area, amazing accomodations and great host that made us feel very welcomed in their home.

River Run Home

Very nice clean home. Everything you would want for relaxing. Very spacious with plenty of space for a large group. Two outside fire pits stocked with wood to enjoy sitting around fire. One on upper back yard and one on the bottom back property next to the beautiful sounding river. Home has everything you need for the stay. Owner Gwendy was always checking in to see if everything was going well. We had 10 people there for motorcycle riding for 6 days. We will definitely be comimg back.Thank you Gwendy for allowing us to share your paradise.

Amazing home in a beautiful location

We stayed at River Run from 11/27 thru 12/1/24. This was a family vacation with my husband and myself , our children and grandchildren. The home is spacious and inviting, and is thoughtfully designed with beautiful furnished spaces inside and outside. It is three levels with a master on the main level, a queen bedroom and bedroom with bunk beds on the lower level, and a queen bedroom and second bedroom with two fulls on that level, which nicely accommodated our family of 11. There were beautiful full bathrooms on each floor and an additional half bath on the main level. The screened porch on the main level was furnished with multiple seating areas, and the porch on the lower level had swings, seating, and a ping pong table, not to mention the game room on the upper level with a beautiful pool table. The view from the main level includes the beautiful river and you can hear it from the porch. There are two fire pits outside- one in the upper lawn and one beside the river, both with chairs for outdoor gatherings. There are stairs from the house down to the river, and a trail that also leads down by the river. The trail is beautiful for hiking, and on 2 days I took the trail to the right of the house for a great hike. There is much attention to detail in the design and it is obvious that much thought was put into the comfort and convenience of the guests who visit this beautiful home. The host was very gracious and available for questions and concerns. We had no complaints and recommend this home. It is a wonderful retreat, and is private, but there are things to do nearby if you desire to leave the house. We enjoyed it very much!

PERFECT "10"

This was our first time to the area and this house was so convenient to everything we wanted to do! Awesome hiking right out the back door, amazing views of the river and the firepits provided entertainment after dark! The house itself accomodated our group of ten with super comfortable beds and plenty of living space for dining and/or just hanging out. The huge wrap around porch was our favorite spot anytime of day and was so peaceful listening to the sounds of nature and the river! The home is well stocked with everything we could possibly want, all we did was bring food and drinks. The decor is stunning. We will be back!

What a beautiful place!

What a beautiful place! Decor was amazing, TV's everywhere (even on the porch), pool table, and large kitchen with everything you need to cook with. Comfortable beds. Bedrooms spaced for privacy, great place for a large families or small group gatherings, such as a women's retreat, etc. Wonderful location to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Nice walking trail and outdoor fire pit by the river and on the upper level closer to the house. Very peaceful. Nice and spacious. Great screened in porch for morning coffee and reading a book in the evenings. I just can't say enough about this place! We will back with family and friends!

Gorgeous Riverside Retreat

Just WOW!! Stayed here with a group of women and could NOT have loved it more. Easy to find, newly renovated with luxurious baths, comfortable beds, well appointed kitchen and THE most awesome porch where we spent hours talking, sipping wine and all to the serenade of the beautiful Hiawasee River. We grilled out, played ping pong, pool, and at night built a bonfire and sat out under the stars! The house is spacious, cabin chic and spotless. During the day we hiked by the river and drove to the nearby attractions like Lake Chatuge, local shopping, breweries and farm to table restaurants. Could not have been better!! Will definitely go back!

Amazing River House!

We recently stayed at "River Run" for a girl's trip and had a wonderful experience! The house was immaculate, beautifully appointed and so comfortable! The highlight for our group was the wrap around porch with several different seating groups and a fabulous porch swing. Great for visiting! And you could hear the sound of the river from the porch -- which was so peaceful! This house would be a great get away place for families, girls' trips and fishing trips being right on the Hiawassee River. Beautiful views of the river from the property and two fire pit areas. House also has a great pool room with big screen TVs and a ping pong table on the lower level. Hayesville NC is a great location with lots to do nearby as well. We had a ball! Beds were also very comfy! We will definitely be back!

Amazing !

This is an amazing home in a great location. Whether you are looking to disconnect from everything, or if you want to go out and have different experiences the town, and surrounding towns have to offer, you won’t be disappointed. This is a large home with plenty of room for large family gatherings, or just for a get away weekend. The home has everything you could possibly need or want. It is beautifully and thoughtfully decorated and no detail left out. You will not want to leave ! Amazing outdoor and indoor living spaces. The flowing River on the property is fun to walk in or just listen to, and relax all day long. We enjoyed the fire pit in the evening and grilling out on the porch. The outdoor living spaces are awesome from the large day bed, to the rocking chairs and couches. All the furnishings are very comfortable for a relaxing and comfortable stay. This is a first class home, extremely clean and in a great location. You will love staying here !

Everything You Want in a Getaway

First, the owner is overly caring and responsive to your needs. They let us know before arrival that storms had knocked out power in the area, but stayed in touch constantly with power company updates. All questions were responded to in a matter of minutes. Instructions for the stay were clear and comprehensive. Before, during, and after the stay, they made sure we were attended to. This was greatly appreciated.Secondly, the house is beautifully appointed and stocked with everything you need. The owners also provided plenty firewood needed for this frigid weekend. We especially enjoyed the old, remote logging road trail at the bottom of the property where you can walk along the river for almost a mile. The fire pit down by the river provides the perfect late night setting (if it wasn’t in the low 20s). Instead, the family enjoyed the fire pit directly behind the house, cornhole set, ping pong table, and board games provided. Bathrooms were clean and had heating fans, which was a nice surprise. Bedrooms were spacious and cozy. One plus in our situation was parking space. Family coming from multiple locations had ample space to access the front door - we had 5 cars amongst 15 people in this cabin that sleeps 16. Location is quite perfect being only 10-15 minutes from Walmart or Ingles. The cabin is close to small-town Hayesville, larger town Murphy, and not much further to Lake Chatuge in Hiawassee. All felt close enough to spread our wings and explore. Fires Creek is worth the stop for a beginner hike with waterfall and bridge visit or a lunch picnic.Overall, this place is just about perfect. If I only had once suggestion being picky, I would suggest more seating in the living room with sleeping arrangements for 16. However, we made that work and will take away lots of memories from our stay in this mountain gem. Highly recommend any time of year!
