About this property
The perfect vacation cabin for families. Directly on the river.
Situated on the beautiful Nottely River, you will find our cabin a relaxing escape.
It will accommodate 6 guests, but not more than 4 adults (an adult for us is anyone over the age of 16). The rental agreement stipulates the number of guests allowed at the cabin and our policy on pets. During the booking process you will have the option to download the Rental Agreement. Make sure to download it and READ it before finalizing the booking of the cabin.
The cabin offers privacy with spectacular views of the Nantahala National Forest and the river. 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.
Look through all the photos and also look at the posted video. You'll get a very good idea of what the cabin, river and forest are like.
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.

Oustanding Property, Great Time as always, This is a AAA place to stay. Wonderful sound from the river. We love this location, eazy to give to many things to see.
The photos do NOT do justice to this lovely home! Huge closets, clean, well maintained, comfortable beds, peace and quiet! My only regret is not coming later in year when it is warmer (but that’s on me!) … but I would love to come there again
We had a great time at the cabin by the river! The rooms were comfortable and the view of the river was amazing!The location was close to town, but still in the middle of natural surroundings with all the modern conveniences. Local shopping and Arts were amazing!! Communication and check-in were easy. We would definitely stay here again:)
Sent email to owner about leaving written instructions for using the firewood, checking out and using the electronics. Cabin was very clean and comfortable. Would definitely like to return sometime.
Perfect location! The river was awesome, although I didn’t have much luck fishing. The kids loved playing in the water. The cabin is beautiful and comfy! The host were super helpful throughout our stay, contacted them multiple times for advice and they promptly responded. Would definitely recommend.
This property and our experience could not have been better. The house is really well built and insulated; the beds and furniture were of great quality and the doors are all solid wood. We didn’t have a fire inside as the house holds heat so well!Lakefront is amazing— the pictures do not lie, the house sits right on the water and it was wonderful having a fire pit and listen to the water. Overall, the house has a nice vibe and we would most definitely recommend it and would love to come back again! Thanks for letting us stay at your beautiful home!
We loved the location on the water- it was peaceful and private The cabin was spacious, clean and tastefully decorated. The kitchen was well equipped -we weren't lacking anything we needed. The back and side porches were enjoyable spaces with comfy chairs, a swing, and a picnic table. It was nice to sit out there and enjoy the sound of the.water. My husband caught 5 fish on a fly rod which always makes for a good day for him! We enjoyed our stay very much!
Absolutely wonderful. If this place was for sale i would definitely be interested. My VRBO experience has always been excellent. As Arnold would say "ILL BE BACK" Thank you so much
This is the second time we have stayed here. It's wonderful, love the screened porch overlooking babbling river. So relaxing listening to the river and watching the geese next door. Perfect location for day trips.
Property is very thoughtfully appointed. Beds are comfortable. The bedding and towels were nice quality. Very clean. The steps to the front steps and down to the guest bedrooms are very steep, which could be a consideration for those with mobility issues. The location on the river couldnt be prettier and more relaxing.
Our stay in this cabin was absolutely amazing. The view and the sound of the river were spectacular—so peaceful and relaxing. Watching the geese each day added a special touch to the experience.We visited to celebrate my son's birthday, and he had a blast tubing in the river! The cabin itself was spotless and very comfortable, with a fully equipped kitchen that had everything we needed.We truly had a wonderful time and can’t wait to come back!
The proximity to the river is priceless. The outdoor areas, to include a huge screened-in, 2nd floor porch, and fire pit make being outside easy and inviting. VOIP phone fills the need at the cabin when cell service fails. A satellite GPS might be best for navigating more than a few miles from populated areas such as Murphy.
We live in Ruskin, Florida. My wife owns and operates a flower shop and I am a retired CPA & CEO of Suncoast Community Health Centers. We go to our cabin about 3 times a year (wish it were more) and think of it as our second home. Our grandchildren love the cabin and river which makes it all the more enjoyable for us.
