The house is beautiful and exactly as represented. Easy access to the house through the back gate of community, and only 5-10 minutes into Murphy for shopping, supplies, etc.
Family trip with 5 of us easily stayed at the river house. Beds were incredibly comfortable, and all the basic amenities were supplies in the bathrooms. We loved that each bedroom had a king bed. Kitchen had everything you need for cooking meals. Access to the river was fairly easy and only a few steps out the back door. Fishing was a bust as this section of the river is very shallow during June. If you fly fish, you might be able to catch some trout. You can actually wade completely across this river (~50 yards). Kids had a blast wading and playing in the river as the current is not too strong in this area. Grab some floats and sit out in the river...so peaceful!! The only thing I would recommend is some steps be built down to the river's edge. It is a steep incline for anyone not agile enough to make it.
Highly recommend Fires Creek Recreation area which is close by for swimming and hiking. If you want a super fun drive, take the time for Cherohala Parkway. We would love to stay here again!

Home is beautiful and exactly as represented. Super close to Murphy for shopping and supplied. Beds were incredibly comfortable, and the bathrooms had all the basic amenities. Kitchen has everything you need for cooking.
River is fairly easy access and just a few steps from the back porch. The river is shallow this time of year (June), and you can walk across it easily (~50 yards). It never got over about knee deep. If you fly fish, this might be a great place to do this. The only recommendation is to build some steps down to the river's edge as the last few feet is super steep to climb for anyone with any mobility issues.
Thanks for a fantastic home and great location!
From the owner: "We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and will definitely consider your suggestions! Hope you come back and enjoy another season!"

This is our second time staying at the River House on the Hiwassee and I am happy to say that it was just as wonderful as our first visit, if not better because this time we could anticipate being back in this beautiful house. Every need seems to have been accounted for. The house was immaculate upon our arrival, and there is ample space for me, my wife, and our two children, who loved having their own bedrooms for the week. I look forward to having tea on the porch in the morning with a view of the river, watching the wildlife and enjoying the quiet. This is a perfect oasis of calm just minutes from the resources of Murphy. We will definitely be back, and I can't wait!

House was great! Everything we needed and more. Loved the riverfront property and beautiful countryside. Perfect location for us to spend time at the casino, Helen Ga., Bryson City, Blue Ridge Ga. It was a great fall vacation!
