The host always responded right away. We had no problems during our stay and no need to contact the host. The home was very well equipped, very clean and comfortable. We were familiar with the area so were happy with the shops nearby. One of the best VRBOs we have stayed at over the years.

The cabin was immaculately clean! My favorite place was the porch off of the upstairs bedroom. It's a nice place to sit and watch/listen to the river go by. The neighborhoods are quiet and that's a huge plus. The starter toiletries were a nice touch and there's plenty of hot water. Check-in was easy and the host was very kind. I'd love to stay here again.

Great relaxing cabin peace oasis

The property was fantastic!! We rented it for Thanksgiving and the host had everything you would need in a cabin. The firepit was next to the river which was a very relaxing oasis. We spent a lot of time there since the weather was cold between 17° to 60° but was very enjoyable. Host was great in communication and very responsive. We would definitely like to stay here again. You cannot go wrong.

Celebration trip

Perfect location for our needs, celebrating dad’s 90th birthday- who lives locally Needed overflow lodging for family- Perfect fit. House was immaculate, quiet location on Nottley River( when river is down- easy access to fly fishing) Firepit out back overlooking river is a great feature. Only used one bedroom, but bedding very comfortable. A most enjoyable stay Will rent again for sure.

Little Piece of Heaven on Earth

This place is fabulous! It is beautiful, well stocked, and set close to a serene river. Do not miss out on the back porch. It’s so peaceful to sit out back and watch the river. The beds are comfy and everything is clean. You can tell that the owners did not cut corners setting up this cabin. We will definitely be back again!

The perfect place in Murphy

A river runs through it… what a beautiful place to spend time at. We were there for business, but enjoyed the relaxing setting in the morning and evenings. The cabin provided everything we could even have thought we might would need. Two beautiful bedrooms, a kitchen full of topline appliances, pots, pans, utensils everything needed to make you feel right at home. It is definitely a place we would return to..😊

Our stay at The River Runs Through It

Our stay at the cabin was wonderful. Our view of the river from both upstairs and downstairs was so enjoyable. I wish there had been a couple of chairs on the upstairs deck though. The house was well decorated and very clean. The hosts were easy to communicate with and were so considerate, they thought of everything we could have wanted or needed begining with a welcome note and nice bottle of wine. We are looking forward to our next stay there .

Paradise

Overall we had a blast! We were looking for a quiet, relaxing weekend and we found it. Communication was super easy and all responses were very prompt. The check-in process was quick with step by step instructions. After checking in, we found the cabin to be very clean. The cabin was also fully stocked, with all the essentials a house may need. The host went above and beyond to accommodate for the guest. We will highly recommend to others and can’t wait to stay again.

Get away

We wanted a cabin away from the hustle and bustle and tourist areas. The river in the back yard was the selling point for us. My husband and son enjoyed walking out the back door and fishing the river. I enjoyed sitting on the porch and balcony reading a book and watching them fish. The drive into Murphy was easy and we found what we needed there. We took a day trip to Bryson City and rode the train and enjoyed the views. The cabin hosts were very easy to work with and very responsive to any questions we had. The cabin was beautiful and had everything we needed for a few days. There are other cabins next door but the area was quiet and we were able to enjoy God’s beautiful creation. I highly recommend this cabin!

It was good!

The house was nice. It had everything we needed. Sitting out on the porch at night was super relaxing. Even though it’s on the river you can’t actually get to the river. The bank is too steep. Be ware that the mattresses are extra firm. Some people would love that. Just didn’t work for us older folks! The host did say he would try to do something about it.Other than the mattresses our stay was great. Thanks “A RIVER RINS THROUGH IT”

The Ultimate

The first spontaneous vacation that we have ever taken and probably the best. We have visited Murphy many times on vacation, but this about the only one that didn't have a mountain view. This one was a river property about 50 feet off the canoe trail. The owners were terrific and was able to book us without notice. This cabin may be the best kept secret in Murphy. The first time i laid down on the mattress, it felt to firm from what i was used to. But i have never slept any better than i have this week. In fact my wife and i have decided that we are going to change our mattress at home to one like this one. We only saw 2 people on our entrance road and they were walking their dogs. This was so peaceful and so immaculate in every way. The owners didn't overlook a thing. I forgot my Bible and i couldn't find one there but my bought me a new one Christian shop in murphy. We went to Brasstown and Blueridge and visited the Field of the Wood. We ate at Cooks Country KItchen in Blairsville. This cabin was neat and clean as you could ask. Weather was perfect. Don't miss a chance to stay here because you will be amazed. We will be back if it is available next year. I really believe this cabin will be booked solid in the near future. Thanks for letting us spend a week in this little piece of heaven on earth.P.S internet was top notch. The Bradfords

We really enjoyed our stay, the cabin was very clean and where it is located made it very peaceful. The river running behind the cabin off the porch was definitely a plus. I would give it a 10/10 and Micheal was very good in communicating with us when we had a concern or question .
