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:)

The host were super helpful throughout our stay, contacted them multiple times for advice and they promptly responded. Would definitely recommend.

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!

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.

Great view!

We enjoyed our holiday weekend stay! Kitchen has just what is needed, bathrooms too. King bed was comfortable. Loved to be able to hear the river from the porch! Sat outside all weekend and enjoyed several heron and bald eagle sightings. We will be back! Front door needs some attention. A bit loose and not the easiest to use to get in.

This place is so great if you want to get away from it all. Quiet, beautiful view, just nice. Very clean and well equipped. It is remote, however. The long, narrow gravel, road could be "interesting" to navigate in wet weather I would think. But we had a truck so no problem. You do need to use steep stairs to get to the main level, which can be difficult, especially with luggage, for older folks. I didn't like having to haul trash to the dump at the end of the stay but the only other choice was pay 20 extra. These are my honest thoughts. I would recommend and would consider staying again.

The best location

Our stay at this property was absolutely perfect. The location right on the river was absolutely perfect. We had an excellent family getaway and used this cabin as a central staying point for traveling around the mountains. Our only regret is that we did not get to enjoy the cabin and river more. Highly recommended

The river is mesmerizing

This was the perfect relaxing getaway. Listening to the river while relaxing in rocking chairs was just what we needed. The kitchen was well equipped, the furnishings were cozy, the beds were comfy. We had planned many things to do while in Murphy, but spent all our afternoons at the river, instead. This cabin and location were perfect for us.

Dad and his school age boys' getaway trip

Me(dad) and my four boys just wanted a boys trip to spend some time together. We had a great time. We had no luck fishing out back but it was a great view and the boys loved playing in the water. Plenty of great fishing within minutes.

Arrived to a very clean and comfortable property. The river sounds were so relaxing. My husband had fun fishing even though he only caught one. Would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. Murphy is close by and offers many restaurants if you don’t feel like cooking. Would rent again!

Christmas get away

Loved our after Christmas get away with family. It was a bit cold while we were there but we still got some fishing in. Very quiet and just what we needed after a rough year. The road in takes about 10-15 to get down so you may want to make sure to bring in enough food. We only left once while we were there. The cabin was clean and so cute.
