About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

River Haven, your escape to the Mountains on the Nottely River.

River Haven is a two bedroom, two bath cabin located directly on the Nottely River in Murphy North Carolina. From the screened in porch you look out over the clear flowing river. The riverside patio is a great place to enjoy the firepit when not fishing, tubing, kayaking, hiking, or exploring Murphy and the amazing river walk. Nottely River Winery is only about 6 miles away, and it's beautiful. And lets not forget the Harrah's Cherokee Valley River Casino just 12 miles away.

So you can relax at the cabin and do nothing at all, or do as much as you can if relaxing is not the only thing on the agenda. The Ranger Community Center has a kayak/canoe launch so from there a really nice float down to our place. When the water is low, about a 1.5 hour float, to as fast as 30 minutes if the water is flowing strong.

Fishing from our bank is fun, and wade fishing even more so. We are at the end of the road so very peaceful and quiet. It seems like you are a million miles away from anything, yet downtown Murphy is nearby along with great restaurants and shopping.

Disclaimer, VRBO shows in the map area that we are a one minute walk to a lake, we are not. I think they might mean if you are downtown. And the Hiawassee River is not 40 minutes away but maybe 15 minutes or so.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Mountain paradise
Loved everything about our stay. The only disappointment was that we have 2 boys that love to fish but the water is very shallow and they didnt have much luck catching anything.

Great Memories
This place has it all if you want a true Western North Carolina experience. Kayak right out the back with the provided Kayaks. Teenage girls had a blast and the home cooked meals were the best. Definitely recommend staying here. Thank you for the lifelong memories.

Spectacular view
The home was very clean and the view was spectacular. The only two complaints were all of the beds were old (need to be replaced) and the other is they have well water which smelt of sulfure and was not pleasant.

Location! Location! Location! If you are looking for a spot that you can walk out of the back door and jump in the river, this is it. All you need to enjoy a breakaway from the daily grind can be had; plus, it's conveniently located to downtown Murphy!

Was our second time vusiting. Was again a nice and quiet getaway. Will definitely be back again. River was nice and cold for a dip in at the bank. Plus fire pit came in handy for smoking up some local trout.

Family Fly Fishing Trip
Beautiful place on the River to stay. Drive on the road to the house was easy, not scary like some others. Purpose of our stay was for our boys (10,14 and 15 yrs. old) was to fish. Unfortunately, it rained during our stay which stirred up the water and made the fish not want to bite. We did catch two lady fish, one catfish and there were lots of mud skippers (caught by net) though, so it was enough that our boys enjoyed.

Get away from the city.
Was a great location to get away. It was nice and quiet. Kids loved fishing in the river, was a bit too cold to take out the kayaks. All in all will try to come back in the summertime. Communication with Le Ann was great from check in. Just a heads up cell service was kinda in and out but didnt mind at all.

Thank you for letting us stay in your mountain home. It is immaculate. We had a great time. The setting is fantastic with the river in the background, and woods across it. We enjoyed the firepit and unparalleled stargazing.
