About this cabin rental
Situated on the beautiful Nottely River, you will find our cabin a relaxing escape.
It will accommodate 6 guests, but not more than 4 adults (an adult for us is anyone over the age of 16). The rental agreement stipulates the number of guests allowed at the cabin and our policy on pets. During the booking process you will have the option to download the Rental Agreement. Make sure to download it and READ it before finalizing the booking of the cabin.
The cabin offers privacy with spectacular views of the Nantahala National Forest and the river. It is located at the end of the road on the river and abuts the forest. The 2 mile drive back to the cabin through the canopy of trees is something you'll remember and enjoy.
Views from the wrap-around screened porch are beautiful. Open the French doors in the master bedroom for the relaxing sounds of the river at night and great views during the day. Evenings by the campfire can produce some very fun and memorable moments. You can also step off the bank and test your skills in the river that is home to a variety of fish including browns, rainbows and native brookies. You'll be amazed at the pristine setting and you will likely be the only person(s) on the river.
Look through all the photos and also look at the posted video. You'll get a very good idea of what the cabin, river and forest are like.
For those who enjoy a more active vacation, there's golfing, canoeing, kayaking, whitewater rafting, boating, horseback riding, hiking trails, mountain biking trails, and ATV trails, all within a few minutes drive of this quiet retreat on the river. You can put your kayak in up river from the cabin on the 'release' and enjoy a fun 20 minute ride back to the cabin, or just tube the river when not on the release and enjoy an hour and a half ride back to the cabin.
It’s secluded, yet convenient. Although we’re at the 'end of the road', it’s only a short ten to fifteen minute drive to Murphy, the center of everything in this part of Western North Carolina! Located between the Ocoee River in Tennessee, and the Nantahala River in North Carolina where whitewater Olympic contenders have trained. Here you will find a town reminiscent of days gone by with a very walkable main street with enough cafes, restaurants, and shops to keep you interested. Side-by-side flea markets close by on weekends, a flea market in the city on Tuesdays, and even a downtown farmers market on Saturdays. This is just a beautiful area to travel the back roads and create your own adventure!
Drive the Cherohala Skyway (rivals the Blue Ridge Parkway for unobstructed long-range views). Ride the 'Tail of the Dragon' through Deal's Gap. Visit the Joyce Kilmore Memorial Forest or the John Campbell Folk School for classes in folk art, crafts, contra-dancing, blacksmithing, bluegrass music, etc. Or just take a drive through a country-side replete with post card views.
Daytrips: Blue Ridge, Georgia has wonderful downtown shops and you must visit the Toccoa Riverside Restaurant for a wonderful meal.
Ellijay, Georgia - is the Apple Capital of Georgia - travel along Highway 52 to visit apple barns. Close by is Amicalola Falls - 729 feet of waterfalls, the largest east of the Mississippi.
Dahlonega, Georgia - has shopping at its best and home of The Smith House - a family-style restaurant that is awesome!
Cherokee, North Carolina - has the casino and you can trout fish on the Cherokee reservation land for a nominal price.
Asheville, North Carolina - home of The Biltmore House that is a must see!
Bryson City, North Carolina - Make reservations through Great Smoky Mountain Railroad for a beautiful trip along the Nantahala River and visit the River's End Restaurant for great food.

8 / 10Excellent·May 2026
The cabin was very clean, I host was there when you needed him, had a great view of the river. But the trip wasn't as great as we wanted it, the neighbors had a lot of family over and they most stayed near our cabin swimming and what not! The romantic weekend away wasn't romantic at all!.
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
The cabin was clean and comfortable and was stocked with everything we needed. The bed was comfy, and we were able to maintain a great temperature inside the cabin.The river is beautiful…we did not catch any fish, but it was nice trying. This cabin was closed to everything we were wanting to check out during our stay… Including the casino.The drive on the gravel road can be intimidating at first, but I was comfortable driving on it after the first couple of times. There is a hose outside, so I do suggest that if you hose off your vehicle, be sure to dry it completely! The dust will adhere to any wetness!The only thing I would recommend is having an option to block the windows on the two glass double doors. There were people staying in the house next-door on the East side… and they hung out outside late into the evening so while they may not have been looking at us inside… I would have felt more comfortable being able to close some curtains or blinds while chilling and watching TV at night.I was really hoping to see some deer, chipmunks, or rabbits by the house during our stay, but we were able to see a lot of beautiful birds and very active squirrels! We did get to see quite a bit of deer on our drive back to the cabin in the early evening.We enjoyed our stay!

The photos do NOT do justice to this lovely home! Huge closets, clean, well maintained, comfortable beds, peace and quiet! My only regret is not coming later in year when it is warmer (but that’s on me!) … but I would love to come there again
