About this property

The Rivercane Cabin - Weekly disc, cozy, private, view, 1 mile to JCC Folkschool

This IS the cozy little cabin that the imagination conjures whenever "cozy little cabin" is mentioned. This 2/2, 900 sqft log cabin, in the middle of 7 wooded acres, transports you to a simpler time and place to enhance your getaway. Open-raftered ceilings, wide plank flooring and hand made decor, gives the Rivercane an historic mountain feel. This cabin is located just 1.1 mile from the John C Campbell Folkschool and a mere 1/2 mile off Brasstown Rd. It's cozy dead end location is very private without being remote. Nestled into a wooded hilltop setting (just above the valley floor with an altitude of 1820ft), you'll feel hidden from the world, while being able to gaze across a slice of Brasstown Valley from the front porch as well as from the living and dining rooms. Every room has a woodland view, ever-changing as the sun makes its daily trip and the seasons serve up an ever changing palette. The back porch, screened on three sides, projects into the forest as the ground gently slopes away, giving a real "treehouse feel" as you ponder the day ahead, the one just experienced or your place in the universe. It's the perfect home base to either recharge your batteries from your work-a-day world OR regroup your thoughts after a creative day at the Folkschool.

In addition to being a one of a kind magically appointed cabin, you will probably find that the Rivercane has the best weekly rate in the area, making it a popular choice for "Folkschoolers". In our attempt to maximize opportunities for "Folkschoolers", we have implemented a 5-7 day minimum stay, during the three season busy months. If however you see openings of less than a week (4-6 days) and want to book less than the minimum 5 required, please contact me to strategize. Our goal is to schedule weekend to weekend 7-8 days bookings, but if you see smaller openings we are open to shorter stays. We want to maximize opportunities for guests to experience our unique Rivercane Cabin.

To stay connected if you must, there is wi-fi and a smart TV (no cable), wi-fi or device ready, an equipped kitchen, all linens with washer & dryer. Both bedrooms (one queen, one full bed) are ground floor. The outdoor fire pit area has been recently revamped and, so as long as burn conditions are within safe margins, it is available for use. The fireplace allows you to bring that cozy fireside experience indoors in cooler weather.

To unplug if you wish, you never have to step off the property or out of the neighborhood, to see deer, turkey, fox, stars and moonlight. There are outdoor activities aplenty, with trails, rivers and lakes peppering the area. There are restaurants, art events and music in Murphy only 7 miles away. In this picturesque mountain town, you'll also find antique shops along with craft and specialty shops. There is also the Harrah's Casino, that is a few minutes east of downtown Murphy, West Tubing Company 4 1/2 miles away in Warne and The Crown of Brasstown (hilltop finer dining, in the heart of Brasstown). If you find yourself in a medical emergency, Murphy Medical Center, is only 4 miles away, in Peachtree.

Of course the biggest draw in our little Brasstown is the John C. Campbell Folkschool, founded in 1925, which offers over 750 classes a year in 19 studios. It has music, dance and community events that are open to the public. Check out their website to see what might interest you. Also, check out our "Rivercane Cabin Coloring Book" on Amazon. You'll find a complimentary copy in the living room upon arrival.

Finally, be sure not to overload your agenda, because the best part about a mountain getaway is doing nothing at all.

About the host

Hosted by Roger Fingar

Host profile image
I am Roger, an almost retired painting and decorating contractor, based out of Tampa for over 40 years. Architectural creativity has always been an avocation for me. I've dabbled in timber framing, treehouse building, live edge construction, stonework and my own brand of custom wood finishing. My lovely wife, Lynda, is a retired art teacher, who continually explores new methods of artistic expression in both familiar and unfamiliar media. For both of us our greatest joy is creative expression in our complementary arenas of interest. Occasionally we've been known to collaborate a project, however scarcely a day goes by when we don't consult each other about some aspect of a project, either helping with a creative pathway or with some problem solving issue. It helps that we respect each other's opinion more than anyone else's.

Why they chose this property

We selected this property for many reasons. We bought it sight unseen (from marketing photos) and were not disappointed. It's location was a big attraction for us. It's only a mile away form the John C. Campbell Folkschool which has a deep connection for us both. It's proximity to other property we own, made in convenient as a "beachhead" for future building projects, both ground attached and in the trees. The modest size of the cabin is a perfect reminder that our North Carolina life should be a somewhat simplified one - at least not a duplication of the complex lifestyle we have in our Florida life. It's by no means a "Tiny House". We call it a "Not so tiny house" - small but livable, with every square foot having a purpose.
It was built by a retired doctor from Colorado and his wife, who taught at the Folkschool for several decades.

What makes this property unique

The location, the view, the Folkschool proximity and the feel of the cabin itself, have been a magical experience for us and our guests, in the short year since we purchased the Rivercane. It's a privilege to share this wonderful place with others so it can become their experience, too.From the "nestled in the woods" environment (in the middle of seven wooded acres) to the artistic vibe of the neighborhood, being there has truly been a gift to us!
