You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The perfect vacation cabin for families. Directly on the river.

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.

Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee - visit Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, as well as many outlet stores. Gatlinburg has the seven mile loop full of craft stores.

The best location
Our stay at this property was absolutely perfect. The location right on the river was absolutely perfect. We had an excellent family getaway and used this cabin as a central staying point for traveling around the mountains. Our only regret is that we did not get to enjoy the cabin and river more. Highly recommended

Relaxing and comfortable cabin
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It had all the comforts of home, and was very clean and well-maintained. The river is the best part. It was too cold in March for water activities, but we enjoyed just sitting and listening to the river and being in nature. We enjoyed hanging out at the cabin so much we only left one time while we were there. We cooked and grilled all our meals, and there were enough supplies to make this an easy task. Highly recommend.

Relaxing location
The home was warm and welcoming. Very clean, and the owner was extremely helpful, and quick to respond to messages and questions. The property overlooks the river which was very relaxing. No luck in fishing, but a bad of fishing is better than a good day at work. The kids enjoyed the property, chilling at the camp fire by the river. All in all, needed the rest, and this area definitely gave me that. Thank you Branzt and family for inviting us to your home.

Christmas get away
Loved our after Christmas get away with family. It was a bit cold while we were there but we still got some fishing in. Very quiet and just what we needed after a rough year. The road in takes about 10-15 to get down so you may want to make sure to bring in enough food. We only left once while we were there. The cabin was clean and so cute.

Relaxation
Arrived to a very clean and comfortable property. The river sounds were so relaxing. My husband had fun fishing even though he only caught one. Would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. Murphy is close by and offers many restaurants if you don’t feel like cooking. Would rent again!

The river is mesmerizing
This was the perfect relaxing getaway. Listening to the river while relaxing in rocking chairs was just what we needed. The kitchen was well equipped, the furnishings were cozy, the beds were comfy. We had planned many things to do while in Murphy, but spent all our afternoons at the river, instead. This cabin and location were perfect for us.

Twice the Enjoyment
This was our second stay at this awesome property. We stumbled across this place two years ago and when we were considering where to take a family vacation this summer, the vote was unanimously "the River house." That says something when my wife frequently reminds me the world is too big to go anywhere twice. Not much has changed since our last stay -- and I mean that in the best of ways. It's still quiet - only the sound of the river. The river is great for kids to play in (though we did see two snakes this time around). There's an opportunity to see wildlife (we saw deer and a bald eagle). It's close enough to conveniences and sites without being in the thick of it. The house and property are well maintained and provide everything you need to enjoy some R&R. We chose this house for all these reasons. We needed to rest and relax and it provided it in spades. We are so thankful to the Rozels for letting us stay once again. I don't know if we'll make it back to Murphy (again, the world is big), but this will always be top of our list of places to stay and has given us lifelong memories.

Third stay
My wife and I have had many trips to the Murphy area and this rental by far is our favorite. The house is well equipped and situated close to the river. While there are homes in the area, this space is reasonably private. The owner is responsive.

Cabin on the river
If we could give more stars we would! The location was scenic, the property was clean and welcoming, and the overall experience was perfect. The quiet and peaceful atmosphere this cabin offers gave us our best family vacation to date, along with the ability to see and interact with critters including a friendly river otter, deer, beaver, and a bald eagle really put this property over the top for us. Would recommend to anyone looking for an amazing getaway!

The pics don’t give this warm, inviting, super clean cabin with an AMAZING VIEW! The wraparound deck (screened) was our living room for 3 days, overlooking a gorgeous river. The beds were comfy and the cabin was well stocked with everything you could need. We had a fabulous time and may come back soon!

Relaxing on the river
This property is excellent, well equipped home, especially kitchen. But major draw is that it is about 20 feet from a rapidly flowing Nottley River, making wonderfully relaxing sounds and it is a wide, open, beautiful river. The property is private with large screened porches. Perhaps only drawback was a fairly small TV and limited cable. But that’s not what this place is about. Beautiful place.

secluded and quiet
This location is the last home on the road so you have only 1 neighbor. Don't let the dirt and gravel road put you off. The home was beautiful and well equipped. If you want to read by the fire or play in the river this is the spot for you. If you want to keep driving into town to shop and play... probably not for you as there is not much there.
