Charming and Cozy River House

Keep it simple at this peaceful and centrally-located place. This quiet retreat features a bridge to access the "island" where you can hang out on or in the Hiawassee River. it's a great little retreat with a small fire pit out back and a breakfast table where you can enjoy a peaceful breakfast outdoors. Great location for lots of mountain activities, 10 minutes from the John C. Campbell Folk School, 20 minutes from some of North GA's nicest wineries (Crane Creek Vineyards is a fav), Lake Chatuge and the Harrah's Cherokee Valley River Casino, 45 minutes from the Nantahala Outdoor Center, 1 hour to Helen, GA. Easy to get to from every direction...2 hours from Atlanta, Chattanooga, Knoxville and Asheville! Lovely and relaxing property and a flat road coming into the neighborhood perfect for walking! Porches on both sides of this house make for nice outdoor dinners, conversations on the porch swing or just soaking in the sounds of the river! Herons and bald eagles are frequent visitors. A peaceful getaway can be had at this fully stocked river cottage! Guests will be sent a keypad door code prior to arrival. Ample parking right next to the stairs leading into the house. property manager is on call and phone and email will be sent in arrival information after booking There are stairs on both sides of this property required to get into this house.

Perfect getaway house!

The home was great and we felt so comfortable there! It’s easy to get to and the road you come in on is so magical (especially in December with the Christmas lights). Very peaceful area and the view of the river was spectacular. Hosts were super friendly and helpful! House is in the perfect central location between Hayesville and Murphy. Would definitely recommend and would love to stay again!

Beautiful and peaceful views!

We very much enjoyed our stay here. There were beautiful river views from the picture windows and walking over to the island in back of the house was a treat. We also enjoyed evening strolls through the neighborhood and meeting new people. Thoughtful touches such as natural products were welcome and fast response from the owner when needed was much appreciated. Definitely hope to visit again!
