About this cabin rental
This IS the cozy little cabin that the imagination conjures whenever "cozy little cabin" is mentioned. This 2/2, 900 sqft log cabin, in the middle of 7 wooded acres, transports you to a simpler time and place to enhance your getaway. Open-raftered ceilings, wide plank flooring and hand made decor, gives the Rivercane an historic mountain feel. This cabin is located just 1.1 mile from the John C Campbell Folkschool and a mere 1/2 mile off Brasstown Rd. It's cozy dead end location is very private without being remote. Nestled into a wooded hilltop setting (just above the valley floor with an altitude of 1820ft), you'll feel hidden from the world, while being able to gaze across a slice of Brasstown Valley from the front porch as well as from the living and dining rooms. Every room has a woodland view, ever-changing as the sun makes its daily trip and the seasons serve up an ever changing palette. The back porch, screened on three sides, projects into the forest as the ground gently slopes away, giving a real "treehouse feel" as you ponder the day ahead, the one just experienced or your place in the universe. It's the perfect home base to either recharge your batteries from your work-a-day world OR regroup your thoughts after a creative day at the Folkschool.
In addition to being a one of a kind magically appointed cabin, you will probably find that the Rivercane has the best weekly rate in the area, making it a popular choice for "Folkschoolers". In our attempt to maximize opportunities for "Folkschoolers", we have implemented a 5-7 day minimum stay, during the three season busy months. If however you see openings of less than a week (4-6 days) and want to book less than the minimum 5 required, please contact me to strategize. Our goal is to schedule weekend to weekend 7-8 days bookings, but if you see smaller openings we are open to shorter stays. We want to maximize opportunities for guests to experience our unique Rivercane Cabin.
To stay connected if you must, there is wi-fi and a smart TV (no cable), wi-fi or device ready, an equipped kitchen, all linens with washer & dryer. Both bedrooms (one queen, one full bed) are ground floor. The outdoor fire pit area has been recently revamped and, so as long as burn conditions are within safe margins, it is available for use. The fireplace allows you to bring that cozy fireside experience indoors in cooler weather.
To unplug if you wish, you never have to step off the property or out of the neighborhood, to see deer, turkey, fox, stars and moonlight. There are outdoor activities aplenty, with trails, rivers and lakes peppering the area. There are restaurants, art events and music in Murphy only 7 miles away. In this picturesque mountain town, you'll also find antique shops along with craft and specialty shops. There is also the Harrah's Casino, that is a few minutes east of downtown Murphy, West Tubing Company 4 1/2 miles away in Warne and The Crown of Brasstown (hilltop finer dining, in the heart of Brasstown). If you find yourself in a medical emergency, Murphy Medical Center, is only 4 miles away, in Peachtree.
Of course the biggest draw in our little Brasstown is the John C. Campbell Folkschool, founded in 1925, which offers over 750 classes a year in 19 studios. It has music, dance and community events that are open to the public. Check out their website to see what might interest you. Also, check out our "Rivercane Cabin Coloring Book" on Amazon. You'll find a complimentary copy in the living room upon arrival.
Finally, be sure not to overload your agenda, because the best part about a mountain getaway is doing nothing at all.

This charming cabin in the woods is the perfect get-away if you're looking for peace and relaxation. This quiet retreat is filled with warm and welcoming touches of decor.The kitchen is very well equipped with plenty of cookware and utensils, so you don't need to bring a thing except your own food. There's a fireplace in the living room with plenty of firewood on hand for cozy cuddling on the couch with a good book.Both bedrooms have closet space with hangers to hang-up clothes, dressers with empty drawers where you can unpack your belongings, and comfy beds with nice sheets and quilts to snuggle into at night. Should you need to wash a load of laundry, there is a front-loading washer and dryer located in the art studio. But the gem of the home is the large screenroom at the back of the cabin that is surrounded by nothing but nature. It truly is a wonderful place to enjoy the sites, smells, and sounds of the forest.There's a beautiful, large firepit outside, with plenty of seasoned wood on hand. The land surrounding the cabin is great for evening strolls through the woods. We were blessed to see deer almost everyday, and one morning they even greeted us at the kitchen window. Should you need to shop for any supplies, an Ingles grocery store and Walmart are just a 20 minute drive away. Roger, the host, was incredible to keep in contact with us and answer any questions we had. If you're staying in Brasstown, this truly is a great place to stay.

Our stay was perfectly comfortable and the house is lovely. In the morning, the view from the front porch or kitchen is beautiful. It's lovely to hear the birds singing and watch the sun come up. After a busy day in classes at the Folk School, we spent a few hours sitting on the back porch enjoying the scenery before tackling dinner. I hope I will have the chance to rent it again for future trips to the school.
