Beautiful home right on the river
We had a great time at the River Run home for our basecamp for our family reunion. We took advantage of the fire pits down by the river and had a relaxing evening. Do forget to lounge on the porch swing bed, you'll catch a great nap there. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will come back!

What a perfect place to relax… 😌Everything was well thought of. When I needed something it was right there. We all had such a good time visiting. It had two kitchens, three dining areas, and numerous places to congregate. The soothing sounds from the river made you want to just lay back and soak up the peacefulness. We all had a places to rest, play, and have fun. We really appreciated the careful attention and cleanliness of the home. You could tell it was well loved. 🥰

Hi there Jenny. We are so happy to know that all in your family had a great time at River Run. We do love being up there and especially when our whole family is there because we love to cook big meals together. We have lots of chefs, so I try to keep the kitchens pretty well stocked. Thanks for the positive feedback and please visit again anytime!
Best,
Gwendy
11 family members plus two who came to visit and PLENTY of room! Super clean! Loved taking our chairs and sitting in the river while the rest of the family tubed to our location from the bridge. Lots of fun! Well equipped kitchen with top notch appliances and gas stove. Beautiful and peaceful…one morning we saw a fawn run through the yard. Great setting for family pictures. Perfect home!

Pam, thank you so much for taking the time to tell us about your stay! Sounds like you all enjoyed it and made the most of the property. We got a peek at some deer when we were they last week which is always so great. Enjoy your summer and come back anytime! Gwendy
We loved everything about our stay here. The sitting areas on the porch were especially nice. Owner communicated well with us, and the home was nicely decorated and furnished. We will be back.
Home is in a beautiful part of Hayesville NC - the river view was fabulous, and we fished the river each day there. Home is fully equipped and plenty of space. Very clean property and host is easy to communicate with. We all enjoyed our time there.

Girls Trip to The River!
The house is stunning! 10 of us stayed at this beautifully decorated home. It had everything we needed from comfortable beds, kitchen supplies, and games to the quiet sounds of the river and nature at its best. Conveniently located to shopping in Hayesville and fishing at the lakes. I would highly recommend staying here and plan on returning with my extended family in the future.

Amazing Stay for a Men's Trip! Perfect Fly-Fishing Destination!
We stayed at River Run with about 10 guys for a weekend of watching NCAA March Madness and fly fishing. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Everything in the house and on the property was very organized and clean. I mean clean to the point of everyone saying "Wow, this place is so nice". We accidentally unplugged the internet and the owner of the property immediately sent someone over to fix it for us! The river is literally a 2 minute walk down some steps and you have a perfect wide spot of river to fish.Awesome property, A Customer Service and A LocationHIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We love to dine out and cook at home, but all of the surrounding towns have excellent options for dining out.

Christmas in April
This was our "Christmas Memory Trip" to our kids and grandkids. Our family included 11 adults, 4 children and an infant. The home was fantastic, had everything that we needed, with lots of space for everyone. The house, the location and Hayesville were all beautiful!!A lot of time was spent on the screened porches, (loved the screened porches). The kids (big and little) had a great time with ping pong and pool tournaments, making smores and going down to the river. Our granddaughters enjoyed time down by the river painting rocks. I know a few were left to find. Thank you!!

From the owner: Robin,
I had responded to this wonderful review and it never got submitted by me! I am so sorry to be so delayed, but we are thrilled that you had such a wonderful time together at River Run. We so love our time together as a family there, and we hope that you all found every comfort of home. You are welcome back anytime! My husband and I went up soon after your stay. We had some fierce weather and the river actually flooded past our fire pits! But, your beautifully painted rocks were still there! We love them. I have plans to let folks start painting rocks and we will make them into the shape of a snake in the forest :) And the beautiful painted rock on the piece just inside our front door is wonderful. I am keeping it on the chest at the front window as a showpiece! Thank you for being such great guests, and we will look forward to your family enjoying a stay again sometime. Best, Gwendy J

RiverRun Way
Our family decided to try something different this year and go to North Carolina for the mountain trip. We had a wonderful time. The house at River Run Way in Hayesville is fantastic in every way!It’s beautifully decorated and equipped with a comfortable, inviting atmosphere. We used all the big screened in and open air decks and porches for outdoor living and eating. Our pool and ping pong games are in the record books!We weren’t at all crowded in the spacious living and sleeping areas.The kitchen is great for those times with a lot of cooks and cooking.We also grilled meats, veggies, and fruits outside. The river down the hill from the house is wide with calm and rushing waters. We floated, rafted, kayaked, played on the rocks and of course, we fished and watched the River wildlife. Can only say good things about our stay at River Run Way in Haysville.

We are so happy to hear that you and your family had such a fun time together at our home in Hayesville. Thank you for taking the time to write and let us and others know why you loved your stay. The river is of course the main attraction, and our family loves the billiards and ping pong as well! We have lots of chefs in our family and fully utilize both kitchens for some awesome family feasts! I am so glad you all did the same. Thank you for taking care of our home, and we would love for you all to enjoy time at River Run again anytime! Enjoy the rest of your summer!

Perfect Large Family Get Together
Our large family had a wonderful time celebrating Christmas at this lovely home. This is a modern clean home with lots of conveniences and entertaining options. The kitchen was well equipped with more than we needed and we also used the grill. Is nicer in person than the pictures show. The setting on the river is beautiful. The nights were chilly so we enjoyed both fire pits. The pool table room was a big hit. Gwendy the host was kind and quickly responded to some questions I had prior and while at the property. We all agreed that we would love to come back.

Beauty By the River
We had a wonderful time staying in this lovely home on the river! The house has everything you could ever think of and every room is beautifully decorated with comfort in mind. The wrap around screened in porch is fabulous! It has several different sitting/eating areas...perfect for the mountain rains! There are two different fire pit areas...one down by the river! Great hiking trails! Great restaurants nearby! Beautiful view of the river and mountains! Very private!This is a great home for large families...two kitchens, two living areas, lots of outdoor spaces, lots of beds!I felt like I was at a five star summer camp as an adult

Perfect, lovely and clean
We stayed here for some girl time with 8 of us. We loved it! The house is lovely. The layout was great and had everything you would need. The bedrooms were all very nice. Mattresses, bedding and pillows were wonderful. The entire house AND the screened in porches were immaculate. I ’ve never stayed anywhere that was this clean. We were all very impressed. The owners responded right away with any questions. We enjoyed the river and the trail along the river. We all want to come back and make this an annual trip.
River Run was perfect for our large family. We thoroughly enjoyed the large gathering spaces on the porch for games, relaxation and great conversation. We loved floating the river on tubes —perfect weather. The pool table, ping pong table, and corn hole are always a big hit with our family. Having TVs available in all the gathering spaces, even the porch, was fabulous as we always gather to watch college football -Roll Tide & Go Vols!! The kitchen was big enough for meals & we had dinner out one night at Black Dog in downtown Hayesville which accommodated our group of 11 that night. We will definitely be back at this home in the future!!!

PERFECT "10"
This was our first time to the area and this house was so convenient to everything we wanted to do! Awesome hiking right out the back door, amazing views of the river and the firepits provided entertainment after dark! The house itself accomodated our group of ten with super comfortable beds and plenty of living space for dining and/or just hanging out. The huge wrap around porch was our favorite spot anytime of day and was so peaceful listening to the sounds of nature and the river! The home is well stocked with everything we could possibly want, all we did was bring food and drinks. The decor is stunning. We will be back!

What a beautiful place!
What a beautiful place! Decor was amazing, TV's everywhere (even on the porch), pool table, and large kitchen with everything you need to cook with.
Comfortable beds. Bedrooms spaced for privacy, great place for a large families or small group gatherings, such as a women's retreat, etc. Wonderful location to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Nice walking trail and outdoor fire pit by the river and on the upper level closer to the house.
Very peaceful. Nice and spacious.
Great screened in porch for morning coffee and reading a book in the evenings.
I just can't say enough about this place!
We will back with family and friends!

Peaceful and Perfect!
We took 14 people (3 families) to the mountains for a week long retreat from our church. We couldn’t have picked a better place! The home was amazing and the river was a great place to spend time and enjoy the water. The outdoor fire pits created fun memories, and the bed swing on the screened in porch was one of the most relaxing and peaceful places to sit in the morning with a cup of coffee as you listen to the flowing water from the river reading God’s word. The house provides plenty of space and privacy. Everything was top notch! We can’t express enough what a blessing this was for our small church group. Thank you for providing such a beautiful home to us it was everything we needed❣️

Gorgeous Riverside Retreat
Just WOW!! Stayed here with a group of women and could NOT have loved it more. Easy to find, newly renovated with luxurious baths, comfortable beds, well appointed kitchen and THE most awesome porch where we spent hours talking, sipping wine and all to the serenade of the beautiful Hiawasee River. We grilled out, played ping pong, pool, and at night built a bonfire and sat out under the stars! The house is spacious, cabin chic and spotless. During the day we hiked by the river and drove to the nearby attractions like Lake Chatuge, local shopping, breweries and farm to table restaurants. Could not have been better!! Will definitely go back!

Fabulous Getaway
We came just for a few days to see the fall leaves with friends and family. The fall colors weren't yet in full autumn mode, but that was okay. The house and property were the highlight of our trip. The house easily slept all 8 of us comfortably. It was cleaner than any house we have ever stayed in, even the outside wraparound deck was spotless...which is impressive in the mountains! There was firewood for the firepits, games to play, the kitchen was fully stocked. There was a walking trail from the house that paralleled the river, which was a beautiful walk (there was a pretty steep hill to get down and back up, though). We were within 20 minutes of almost everywhere we wanted to go, and Gwendy was very helpful by sending us lots of information about things to do in the area.Wish we could have stayed longer, it was a great trip!!

Amazing River House!
We recently stayed at "River Run" for a girl's trip and had a wonderful experience! The house was immaculate, beautifully appointed and so comfortable! The highlight for our group was the wrap around porch with several different seating groups and a fabulous porch swing. Great for visiting! And you could hear the sound of the river from the porch -- which was so peaceful!
This house would be a great get away place for families, girls' trips and fishing trips being right on the Hiawassee River. Beautiful views of the river from the property and two fire pit areas. House also has a great pool room with big screen TVs and a ping pong table on the lower level. Hayesville NC is a great location with lots to do nearby as well. We had a ball! Beds were also very comfy!
We will definitely be back!
