About this cabin rental
Welcome to Your Mountain Cabin Getaway!
Leave the busy world behind and settle into a charming riverfront log cabin tucked along the beautiful Hiwassee River in Murphy, North Carolina.
Here, your mornings start with coffee on the porch and the sound of rushing water. Spend the afternoon launching a kayak from your private dock, fishing from the riverbank, relaxing in the hot tub, or simply watching the river roll by. As evening arrives, gather around the riverside fire pit, roast marshmallows, and watch the mountains fade into the sunset.
Inside, you'll find a warm, comfortable cabin designed for families and friends to slow down and reconnect. With 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, soaring cathedral ceilings, and spacious two-level porches overlooking the river, there's plenty of room to spread out without losing that cozy mountain-cabin feeling.
Make the River Your Backyard
You don't have to load up the car to start your adventure. The Hiwassee River is literally outside your door.
• Private riverfront access
• Custom riverside dock
• Kayaks available for guest use
• Fishing right from the property
• Two levels of river-view porches
• Hot tub overlooking the water
• Riverside fire pit
• Plenty of room to relax, play, and enjoy the outdoors
Whether you're paddling down the river with the kids, casting a fishing line, reading a book on the porch, or enjoying a fire under the stars, the hardest part of your vacation may be deciding whether to leave the cabin.
Adventure Just Down the Road
When you're ready to explore, Murphy is surrounded by some of Western North Carolina's best mountain and water adventures.
Take an easy stroll along the Murphy River Walk, a scenic trail following the Valley and Hiwassee Rivers through forests, wetlands, and downtown Murphy. The trail system offers roughly four miles of walking and opportunities for an easy paddle.
For more adventure, explore Piney Knob Trail System, Hanging Dog Recreation Area, or head into the surrounding Nantahala National Forest for hiking, mountain biking, waterfalls, fishing, and breathtaking mountain scenery.
Looking for waterfalls? Murphy is a fantastic home base for exploring the region's cascades, including Fire Creek Falls and the nearby Fires Creek Recreation Area. The famous Waterfall Byway also begins near Murphy and winds through the mountains with hundreds of waterfalls along its broader route.
For lake days, head to Hiwassee Lake for boating, fishing, swimming, and mountain views. Hanging Dog Recreation Area provides another great spot to enjoy the lake and surrounding forest.
More Than Just the Outdoors
Take a break from the trails and explore historic downtown Murphy. Browse local shops, galleries, antiques, and the Cherokee County Historical Museum, then grab a meal or drink before heading back to the cabin. Murphy's downtown is compact, walkable, and full of locally owned businesses.
Hungry after a day outside? Try local favorites like Valley River Brewery for pizza and local brews, Rib Country BBQ (Murphy, NC) for casual BBQ, Julie's Place for Southern comfort food, or ShoeBooties Cafe for an eclectic downtown menu. For breakfast, Yogi's Neighborhood Grill is a local favorite.
Built for Family Memories!
This is the kind of place where kids can spend the day outside, parents can finally slow down, and everyone can sit around a fire at night with nowhere else they need to be.
Bring your swimsuits, hiking shoes, fishing poles, favorite board games, and a good book.
Come for the mountains. Stay for the river. Leave with memories.
