Location: Murphy, Smoky Mountains, North Carolina, USA
Accommodations: Cabin, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 6-8)
Situated on the banks of the beautiful Nottely River, you will find our home a relaxing escape from everyday life. Our cabin offers privacy with spectacular views of the Nantahala National Forest. It is located at the end of the road on the river and abuts the forest. The 2 mile drive back to the cabin through the canopy of trees begins a wonderful vacation experience.
Morning views from the wrap-around porch or evenings by the campfire are peaceful and memorable experiences. You can also step off the bank and test your skills in the river that is home to a variety of fish including browns, rainbows and native brookies. You'll be amazed at the pristine setting and you will likely be the only human(s) on the river. If you care to adventure out, some of the best trout fly fishing North Carolina has to offer is within a short driving distance.
For those who enjoy a more active vacation, there's golfing, canoeing, kayaking, whitewater rafting, boating, horseback riding, hiking trails, mountain biking trails, and ATV trails, all within a few minutes drive of this quiet retreat on the river.
It’s secluded, yet convenient. Although we’re at the "end of the road", it’s only a short ten to fifteen minute drive to Murphy, the center of everything in this part of Western North Carolina! Located between the Ocoee River in Tennessee, and the Nantahala River in North Carolina where whitewater Olympic contenders have trained. Here you will find a town reminiscent of days gone by with a very walkable main street with enough cafes, restaurants, and shops to keep you interested. Side-by-side flea markets close by on weekends, a flea market in the city on Tuesdays, and even a downtown farmers market on Saturdays. This is just a beautiful area to travel the back roads and create your own adventure!
Drive the Cherohala Skyway (rivals the Blue Ridge Parkway for unobstructed long-range views). Ride the "Tail of the Dragon" through Deal's Gap. Visit the Joyce Kilmore Memorial Forest or the John Campbell Folk School for classes in folk art, crafts, contra-dancing, blacksmithing, bluegrass music, etc. Or just take a drive through a country-side replete with post card views.
