About this property
Tranquil Riverfront Retreat
Escape to this peaceful mountain retreat, where the gentle sounds of the river invite you to slow down and leave your worries behind. Spend your days fishing for Carolina trout, exploring the beauty of Western North Carolina, and your evenings gathered around the fire pit beneath a sky full of stars. Conveniently located just minutes from Harrah's Valley River Casino and historic downtown Murphy, this cabin is perfectly situated between the Ocoee and Nantahala Rivers, making it an ideal getaway for fishing enthusiasts, hikers, rafters, and outdoor adventurers alike. This spacious ranch-style log home features an open-concept layout designed for families and groups to relax comfortably together. With three bedrooms, six beds, a crib for little ones, and two full bathrooms, there's plenty of room for everyone. The fully equipped modern kitchen makes preparing meals a breeze, while the separate dining room comfortably seats up to eight guests. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee on one of the three outdoor seating areas, curling up beside the wood-burning fireplace in the family room, relaxing by the wood-burning stove in the living room, or sharing stories around the riverside fire pit and picnic table, you'll find countless places to unwind. The entire home is yours to enjoy throughout your stay, including access to the garage for vehicle or motorcycle parking. Traveling with your four-legged family members? The fenced area beside the home provides a secure place for them to run and play while you soak in the peaceful mountain surroundings. For your safety, a Ring doorbell camera and motion-sensor light are installed at the front entrance. Please exercise caution near the river, as the water can be deep and fast-moving. Children under the age of 18 must be supervised by an adult at all times. We happily welcome well-behaved pets! To help us keep the home in excellent condition for every guest, we ask that pets stay off all furniture and beds and be crated if left unattended inside the home. If excessive pet hair is found on furniture or bedding, or if any pet-related damage occurs, an additional pet cleaning fee of up to $200 may apply. Please note that this home is located in a peaceful rural farming community. At certain times of the year, nearby farms fertilize their fields, which may occasionally create noticeable odors outdoors. While this doesn't happen often, it is a natural part of country living and is outside of our control.

Beautiful home that was perfect for our family. Very spacious and open kitchen and living room that was great to cook and hang out in. The screened in back porch was so nice to enjoy our meals with the background sounds of the river. Handicap friendly for my wheelchair bound Dad. The whole yard was beautifully landscaped! We would love to stay here again.
Beautiful home with a beautiful view! Loved the back yard with the river!! We spent most of our time on the big screen porch overlooking the river. Users the fire pit and grill every night! The huge kitchen was perfect. The Hosts were excellent at responding to my questions and inquires. I wished there had been TV’s in the bedrooms, but it’s not a deal breaker. 🙂
The home and location were wonderful. The home is well appointed and spotless. The location was nice but you could hear traffic from the back porch, where the river views are. We stayed for 2 weeks and the first 9 days or so were wonderful. However on Tuesday of our 2nd week, a truck sprayed something on the field across the river. The smell was intolerable, making me nauseous and giving my husband a headache. So we were essentially unable to enjoy the back porch and the river after that. It came around the house on some days, making taking the dog outside in the front yard nearly unbearable. I have no idea how often this happens... was it just a one time misfortune or something routine? The leaves were beautiful and we enjoyed the area and lounging indoors but were disappointed by the loss of the river.
The property looks soo much better than the photos! Very clean. Close to the casino and downtown Murphy. Easy to access and the grocery store was close by.
We love this cabin! Beautiful property with the river flowing behind it! We love the screened in porch with the view and sounds of the river. The house is perfect for my Dad who is wheelchair bound. We would love to stay here again soon!
The property is located in a beautiful setting by the river. It is conveniently located within minutes of any shopping needs. The house is well maintained and provided more than adequate space for our family of 10. I would recommend this property to anyone looking to just get away from all of the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Come here, chill and relax.
We had such a great stay at this cabin on the Valley River. We mostly hung out at the cabin in the backyard at the fire pit, lounging in the chairs overlooking the river, and the kids enjoyed playing in the well maintained yard. Mercier Orchards in Blue Ridge was a great experience and was a short drive away, about 40 minutes. The back porch was so relaxing but there are two other porches that we didn’t even use. There is plenty of space, much more than we needed for our family of 5. The kitchen was well-equipped and the entire cabin was very clean.
The house was large on a beautiful setting. Very close to Casino/ downtown historic Murphy. Ideal area for dog with gated area. We had one issue but property manager communicated well and was very efficient.
We loved this property. It was very clean and well equipped, and the view off the back porch was gorgeous and peaceful. The property owner/manager was responsive when we had a question, and we felt safe during the duration of our stay. We were also only a few minutes away from groceries and restaurants, which was very convenient. The only thing I think this property could use is a few more kitchen supplies like pyrex baking/storage dishes and a large pizza pan, as well as thicker bedding on the guest queen bed (it got pretty chilly). Other than that, we had zero issues and really enjoyed our stay. Definitely recommend!
the cabin was lovely but hot! The thermostat could not be adjusted and it was hot and humid!!! The water smelled like sulfer and NO ONE wanted to bath in it. It was a unpleasant experience. The booking was easy, the directions were spot on.
The location to everything in the area was really good, the house was pretty and situated on a beautiful river. I enjoyed sitting outside on the screened in back porch and at my coffee, until several young men decided they needed to fish in the river directly behind the house and they weren’t a part of our party so we didn’t exactly have the uninterrupted quiet morning coffee time I was really looking forward to Saturday am. When we first arrived at the cabin the ac was on and had 5he cabin nice and cooled down and we thoroughly appreciated that! However the kitchen wasn’t exactly fully equipped with everything we needed to cook with. A knife block full of knives was provided, however the knives weren’t sharp, we had to put all of the silverware and the silverware trays in the dishwasher because the trays were so dirty and had a greasy substance on them. Before cooking with any pot, dish, knife or utensil I had to wash it. The dishes had a greasy like substance on them. There was no laundry detergent and only 1 extra trash bag. The beds were comfortable however the bedroom my brother slept in, the pillow cases and sheets had hair on them. They were not clean at all. We had to strip his bed, buy laundry detergent the next day and wash. The washing machine is a front load machine and very nice except there is a lot of mold and mildew in it and it stinks terribly. This place is in need of a really good deep cleaning! The power went out the morning we left and we were not able to take showers. I called the host first thing and she asked that I take a picture of the electric meter so she could get the account number off of the meter to report the power outage and after telling me there was no reported outages in the area. There is no account number in meter and I don’t really appreciate being called a liar and needing to prove that the power is out by sending a picture of the meter not on or turning. Once I sent her the picture she was happy and decided at that point to call it into the power company. When people are having a hard time and trying to get ready for a long trip ahead of the the last thing the6 want is someone adding to their troubles by having to prove they aren’t liars. The house was a perfect location but the lack of cleanliness, lack of supplies and the host ruined it for us. We won’t recommend this cabin or renting with this cabin to anyone.
Amazing home and property. River in back of property was so relaxing just to sit and listen to the water. Peaceful surroundings. Plenty of yard for pets to walk.
Rented this property for family arriving from across the country for my son's wedding. It was exactly what we were hoping for. I only live an hour away but it made all the difference to stay close to the venue. Would use this unit again in a heartbeat!
We had the best time! This was a last minute trip for Spring Break. Our boys love fishing, and this was the perfect spot. The river is directly in the backyard. They didn’t catch anything, but had fun trying. Two guys across the river did catch two. The area is quiet and peaceful. The house was perfectly cleaned! I didn’t have to spend the first hour doing my cleaning routine because it was spotless. Kathy was great at answering all of our questions. There is a Wal-Greens, Ingles, and Walmart just 10 min away. The house is only 15
Min or so from downtown Murphy. We will be back. It was cold and started to snow/sleet, but we still had fun sipping hot cocoa by the wood stove. Thanks for a great break!
The cabin is great. Beautiful and clean. Very relaxing backyard with the river. Spacious kitchen, and living room.
The location was great for us about 1 hour from the Smokey mountains and 2 from gatlinburg.
Safe area and good neighborhood.
We accommodate 10 people.
I will suggest maybe for the owners to add a sofa bed in the game room . Everything was very clean . We enjoyed and we will definitely will stay there if we are in that area again
