Nottely River Retreat
- Minimum stay:3-14 nights
- Internet:Yes
- Pets allowed:No
- Wheel chair accessible:No
Situated on the beautiful Nottely River, you will find our cabin a relaxing escape. The 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 is something you'll remember and enjoy.
Views from the wrap-around screened porch are beautiful. Open the french doors in the master bedroom for the relaxing sounds of the river at night and great views during the day. Evenings by the campfire can produce some very fun and memorable moments. 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 person(s) on the river.
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. You can put your kayak in up river from the cabin on the 'release' and enjoy a fun 20 minute ride back to the cabin, or just tube the river when not on the release and enjoy an hour and a half ride back to the cabin.
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.
Daytrips: Blue Ridge, Georgia has wonderful downtown shops and you must visit the Toccoa Riverside Restaurant for a wonderful meal.
Ellijay, Georgia - is the Apple Capital of Georgia - travel along Highway 52 to visit apple barns. Close by is Amicalola Falls - 729 feet of waterfalls, the largest east of the Mississippi.
Dahlonega, Georgia - has shopping at its best and home of The Smith House - a family-style restaurant that is awesome!
Cherokee, North Carolina - has the casino and you can trout fish on the Cherokee reservation land for a nominal price.
Asheville, North Carolina - home of The Biltmore House that is a must see!
Bryson City, North Carolina - Make reservations through Great Smoky Mountain Railroad for a beautiful trip along the Nantahala River and visit the River's End Restaurant for great food.
Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee - visit Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, as well as many outlet stores. Gatlinburg has the seven mile loop full of craft stores.

A wonderful place to spend a relaxing vacation. Mornings on the porch enjoying the sounds of the river. Then off for a day of adventures, Andrews to zip line, Cherokee, Dahlonega for gold, Copper Hill, McCaysville, Blue Ridge, Blairsville. The flea markets, antique shops and the museum in Murphy were great. Then back to the cabin on the Nottley, for an evening by the firepit or upstairs to play a game of cards.Recommended for: Sightseeing, romantic getaway.

Loved this place!!! It was the perfect place for our family get-together. The cabin was very very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The best thing about this place is the river! The views from the house were unbelievable. Loved the wrap around screened in porch! And the patio below is right at the river. There are plenty of shade trees along the river also. Our daughter and son-in-law brought their hammocks and enjoyed relaxing by the river. Tubing down the river was one of the highlights of the trip. The men had a great time fishing as well. The town of Murphy is just a few minutes away if we needed anything. The owner is very helpful and easy to work with. Would recommend this place to anyone wanting a relaxing vacation!Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

My husband and I travel often, usually taking our boys to amusement parks and staying busy throughout the entire trip. This vacation has truly changed things for us. The pictures online do not do the home any justice. It was much better we could have dreamed. It was so nice to be able to relax while the kids played in the river. My parents joined us for their first vacation in 20 years and cannot stop talking about how much they loved being by the river. It was hard for us to come home and are even talking about the next time we can visit. Close to hiking, gem mining, flea markets, antiques.Recommended for: Families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers.

We had an awesome time at this lovely cabin on the Nottely River. The river was cool and refreshing and enjoyed tubing in it. We could hear the river from the screened in porch and loved sitting outside in the swing and listening to it. This cabin was so clean and had all the kitchen and other amenities we needed to be comfortable. It is also remote but only 20 minutes away from Ingles and Walmart making it extremely convenient. We had three teenagers with us, and they loved it too! I definitely recommend this property to friends and relatives.Recommended for: Girls getaway, sightseeing, families with teenagers, romantic getaway.

Gorgeous property with the river right out back. Sitting on the porch swing enjoying the sounds of the river and watching the geese feed was so relaxing. The house was clean and fully furnished with everything we needed. We loved that our teens were able to be downstairs and have access to outside without coming upstairs. The cabin is only a short drive to Murphy and the local farmer's market. The two mile drive back to the cabin is peaceful and scenic. Perfect for morning runs too. We highly recommend this cabin. The owners are wonderful and will help with any issues that might arise.Recommended for: Girls getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway.

Very nice well kept cabin right on the river. We had a wonderful time and the cabin was perfect. You are right off the main drag so the things you need are near by. We brought the motorcycles and the road access is fine if you take it slow. We had a great time riding the roads on the bikes. Check out Cherokee County Cycles in Andrews. It's a great place to fine the best roads for biking and have an excellent map of the area. Around the corner is hwy. 294 that will take you to Tellico Plains and the start of the Cherohola Skyway. To me this is the best ride!!!Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

Our family enjoyed our 7-day stay at this cabin on the Nottely River. The cabin was extremely clean and well kept. Its location right on the river was wonderful. Our two boys loved playing in the river. The sounds of the water flowing over the rocks was easily heard from the deck and very relaxing. The large L-shaped screened in porch was great. The covered parking was very nice also. The cabin is at the end of a 2-mile dirt/gravel road, so it was very peaceful.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers.

Clean, clean, clean! As they say, it was just what the doctor ordered! The sound of the water dripping at the little falls was mesmerizing---we could sit for hours listening to that sound. We were honored to watch otters playing in the river at the falls one morning, and at the same spot about ten minutes after they left, a group of ducks came. Hope to get back to this very cabin in the future. The owners were fabulous to work with; really nice.Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.
