Man, this was spot on great! Having coffee every morning on the back deck, watching the river, was a great way to start the day! The cabin was a perfect size, and they are doing all of the little things that make renting a house worthwhile and enjoyable! We are coming back in October, and I'm booking this place again!

The host always responded right away. We had no problems during our stay and no need to contact the host. The home was very well equipped, very clean and comfortable. We were familiar with the area so were happy with the shops nearby. One of the best VRBOs we have stayed at over the years.

The cabin was immaculately clean! My favorite place was the porch off of the upstairs bedroom. It's a nice place to sit and watch/listen to the river go by. The neighborhoods are quiet and that's a huge plus. The starter toiletries were a nice touch and there's plenty of hot water. Check-in was easy and the host was very kind. I'd love to stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay, the cabin was very clean and where it is located made it very peaceful. The river running behind the cabin off the porch was definitely a plus. I would give it a 10/10 and Micheal was very good in communicating with us when we had a concern or question .

Great relaxing cabin peace oasis

The property was fantastic!! We rented it for Thanksgiving and the host had everything you would need in a cabin. The firepit was next to the river which was a very relaxing oasis. We spent a lot of time there since the weather was cold between 17° to 60° but was very enjoyable. Host was great in communication and very responsive. We would definitely like to stay here again. You cannot go wrong.

Celebration trip

Perfect location for our needs, celebrating dad’s 90th birthday- who lives locally Needed overflow lodging for family- Perfect fit. House was immaculate, quiet location on Nottley River( when river is down- easy access to fly fishing) Firepit out back overlooking river is a great feature. Only used one bedroom, but bedding very comfortable. A most enjoyable stay Will rent again for sure.

Little Piece of Heaven on Earth

This place is fabulous! It is beautiful, well stocked, and set close to a serene river. Do not miss out on the back porch. It’s so peaceful to sit out back and watch the river. The beds are comfy and everything is clean. You can tell that the owners did not cut corners setting up this cabin. We will definitely be back again!

The perfect place in Murphy

A river runs through it… what a beautiful place to spend time at. We were there for business, but enjoyed the relaxing setting in the morning and evenings. The cabin provided everything we could even have thought we might would need. Two beautiful bedrooms, a kitchen full of topline appliances, pots, pans, utensils everything needed to make you feel right at home. It is definitely a place we would return to..😊

Our stay at The River Runs Through It

Our stay at the cabin was wonderful. Our view of the river from both upstairs and downstairs was so enjoyable. I wish there had been a couple of chairs on the upstairs deck though. The house was well decorated and very clean. The hosts were easy to communicate with and were so considerate, they thought of everything we could have wanted or needed begining with a welcome note and nice bottle of wine. We are looking forward to our next stay there .

Our vacation at "A river runs through it" was wonderful.The house sits on a beautiful flat large property in a small community on the outskirts of town but only a short drive to restaurants, shopping, church, hosp. etc. The house is wonderful and we loved everything about it. It was spacious yet cozy, decorated tastefully and equipped with everything we needed including wifi and Youtube TV. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bedding was of exceptional quality. I loved sitting on the master bedroom upstairs deck in the morning breathing in the fresh air and listening to the quiet. In the afternoon we would sit on the downstairs deck watching the river go by and being entertained by the hummingbirds. Everything was perfect and we thank you for sharing it with us.
