About this property

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

We go to our cabin about 3 times a year (wish it were more) and think of it as our second home. Our grandchildren love the cabin and river which makes it all the more enjoyable for us.
