Murphy Family Vacation

If you are looking for a great place close to town but far enough for privacy with river access then this is it. Very beautiful place, well stocked with great views of the river. Communication with owners was great. We will stay again when coming back to Murphy area.

Great Place To Unwind

Great place for a family to enjoy and relax alongside the Hiawassee River. Great location, within a short drive you could be in Blueridge or Helen. Property is in a gated community which gives that extra peace of mind. Will definitely book again.

Great wedding weekend getaway

Perfect getaway home. The home is situated on the river and has a beautiful view. Tranquil mornings and evenings were enjoyed. Convenient to town and easily accessible. Property managers were quick to respond to questions and needs. They have stocked this home for everyone’s needs. This is a must stay if you are looking in the area. We will be back!!

Another fantastic week at the River House on the Hiwassee

This is our second time staying at the River House on the Hiwassee and I am happy to say that it was just as wonderful as our first visit, if not better because this time we could anticipate being back in this beautiful house. Every need seems to have been accounted for. The house was immaculate upon our arrival, and there is ample space for me, my wife, and our two children, who loved having their own bedrooms for the week. I look forward to having tea on the porch in the morning with a view of the river, watching the wildlife and enjoying the quiet. This is a perfect oasis of calm just minutes from the resources of Murphy. We will definitely be back, and I can't wait!

Great home in a great location

I left a review previously concerning the yard and stairs. The owner reached out and explained the problems with the yard personnel not really understanding how they wanted to have the property kept and I should've left that comment from my review. I understand the frustrations with hiring a service and it not being as you expected. As for the stairs, once again the owner explained the difficulties with contractors not doing as they say in this supply constraint times we now live in. As I stated in the review the home is nicely decorated and furnished and is in a great location close to town, but away from the noise. I would not hesitate to stay here again!

Beautiful Mountain Vacation!

The house is beautiful and exactly as represented. Easy access to the house through the back gate of community, and only 5-10 minutes into Murphy for shopping, supplies, etc. Family trip with 5 of us easily stayed at the river house. Beds were incredibly comfortable, and all the basic amenities were supplies in the bathrooms. We loved that each bedroom had a king bed. Kitchen had everything you need for cooking meals. Access to the river was fairly easy and only a few steps out the back door. Fishing was a bust as this section of the river is very shallow during June. If you fly fish, you might be able to catch some trout. You can actually wade completely across this river (~50 yards). Kids had a blast wading and playing in the river as the current is not too strong in this area. Grab some floats and sit out in the river...so peaceful!! The only thing I would recommend is some steps be built down to the river's edge. It is a steep incline for anyone not agile enough to make it. Highly recommend Fires Creek Recreation area which is close by for swimming and hiking. If you want a super fun drive, take the time for Cherohala Parkway. We would love to stay here again!

Incredible stay

The property and everything about it was meticulously thought out and made the stay so remarkable. The home itself is gorgeous as is the setting of it. We traveled with my grandmother who stayed on the master on the main level. My in-laws stayed in one of the upstairs rooms and my husband and I stayed in the other large room upstairs. My young girls shared the loft bed, which they thought was such a sweet little space with books and a bean bag chair. We also have a baby that was able to sleep in the pack and play that was provided. Everything was a great experience. Only bit of feedback worth noting if traveling with young kids who sleep in a dark room (like our kids), is that the rooms are bright as the sun sets where the windows are. We used black trash bags over windows to help with the brightness. It wasn’t an issue at all, just thinking that tip may help a future traveler. Would absolutely stay here again and so appreciative of how wonderful it was.

Beautiful Mountain River Retreat

We had a wonderful visit! The location was great for the things we wanted to do (whitewater rafting, alpine coaster, waterfalls, and scenic train ride). Loved that the roads coming & going are all paved, and that restaurants and grocery stores are close. The home was very well appointed and clean. The river is beautiful & relaxing. Take a walk (or drive) through the community & watch all of the deer as they cross your path or graze nearby. We will definitely look to stay again!!
