Absolutely Amazing Stay!

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!

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.

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

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.

Amazing Riverfront Home

If your looking for somewhere quite to relax and reset, this is definitely the place. My husband and i brought our two grandsons, 6 and 11 years old. They both loved the river and the mountains. The sound of the river is amazing and so relaxing. We had bon fires, hikes in the woods. The house is so cozy and very clean. You do have to go up and down the stairs to get in the house. We would highly recommend this location.

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.
