About the host
Hosted by Nikki Musci
I’m an Atlanta native who grew up escaping to the North Georgia and Western North Carolina mountains with my family — long weekends filled with river walks, board games, bonfires, and fresh mountain air. Some of my best memories were made there, and I always knew I wanted to give my four children that same gift.
Thirteen years ago, we found our little slice of heaven in Murphy, NC, and it quickly became more than a getaway — it became home. Over the years, Playmore by the River has been the backdrop for birthday celebrations, early morning coffee on the porch, tubing down the river, late-night laughs in the hot tub, and slow evenings around the fire.
Murphy has given our family space to unplug, reconnect, and truly play more — together. It brings us so much joy to now open our doors and share this special place with you. We hope your time here becomes part of your family’s story, just like it has ours.

Why they chose this property
During Covid, we sold our original mountain home and began a new chapter on the beautiful Nottely River. Having river access has been such a gift — the cool water is refreshing, and we love tubing, kayaking, fishing, or simply watching it flow by.
We also love being tucked away in nature while still just a short drive from Blue Ridge, Murphy, and Blairsville — the perfect mix of peaceful river life and charming mountain towns.

What makes this property unique
What makes our property truly unique is the way it combines space, scenery, and serenity. The spacious layout gives everyone room to spread out and relax, while the river views and large outdoor areas invite you to slow down and soak in the peaceful setting.
It’s a place that shines in every season — summer days spent playing on the water, crisp fall weekends filled with apple festivals and mountain colors, and cozy winter holidays gathered with family. No matter the time of year, it’s the perfect space to come together, unwind, and make lasting memories.
