River Bliss

The cabin was very comfortable and the atmosphere was wonderful. Listening to the river and birds sitting on the covered porch was blissful & relaxing. Everything was explained in detail by the host to include the light switches which was very helpful. We all enjoyed our stay.

Brasstown river cabin

Very nice, well equipped cabin on the Hiawasse river near Brasstown and Murphy NC. It was rainy while we were there and the TV streaming was not good, even on the one sunny day we had. But that aside it is a very comfortable cabin and we would be very happy to stay there again when we visit Brasstown.

Such a great spot!!!

We had the best time at this cabin!! The pictures dont do it justice! Yes, the other house blocks some of the river view, but you are so close, it didnt even bother us. The street is so quiet and private as well. Perfect spot for a get away. We hope to return some time!!

This was a great place to get away for a few days with our kids and dogs. I appreciated how well the cabin was stocked. No worries about forgetting anything, it was already there. The pictures don't do it justice, it is much nicer in person.

Relaxing along the river

Well appointed property across from the river in a quiet neighborhood. The rocky back yard was difficult on our dog's legs, so plan to go for walks out the front door. Good value and close to John C. Campbell.

Very quiet and comfortable

Convenient location, about a mile to JC Campbell Folkschool. The cabin was clean, quiet, and very comfortable. The only negative is that the bathroom sink upstairs drains very very slowly.....probably needs some drano or other method to improve a clogged sink.

Cute house

We stayed here for our anniversary. I would like to note that this is not a riverfront property. There is a street and a house between you and the river. You do have an access point which is very pretty and we did take advantage of. With that being said, the house was cute and perfect for our dog. She absolutely loved being able to run around the fenced in yard and lounging in the screened in porch. The cabin was well stocked and in a nice/safe neighborhood. Owners were very welcoming and responsive. Overall we had a great time!

Wonderful relaxing place with lots of things for family to do!

This place was wonderful. Beautiful view of the river and tons of items available in the cabin to make the stay enjoyable. Things like dishwasher soap, spices, oil, coffee filters, condiments, t.p., laundry soap, etc. all make it a much easier stay. We enjoyed using the fire pit next to the river almost every night. The kids bought inner tubes and went tubing down the river again and again. We went to nearby Fire's Creek, Hanging Dog, and Jackrabbit Parks to swim, tube, and fish. The master bedroom loft is mostly closed off so there is still plenty of privacy for whoever sleeps up there. Everything was clean and comfortable!

Horrible house

Y’all make sure you read carefully. The owner (George) of the cabin is very rude. We arrived on time and once we got there was a bad smell in the cabin. Also it looks like there has not been anyone renting that property. The curtains are stained Don’t let the pictures fool you. We did not stay at this cabin. We ended up leaving that same day so to the bad smell and mold.HORRIBLE experience. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS CABIN TO ANYONE.
