Murphy, North Carolina
Fish and relax just feet from the Nottely River! One of a kind riverfront property located on the beautiful Nottely River and next to a 25 acre meadow. We have upgraded the internet to Starlink. No more unbelievably slow HughesNet or DISH internet! We also upgraded the Wi-Fi and added two brand new Roku TVs. Enjoy the wild turkey, deer, and abundant wild life, or go trout fishing just feet from the chalet. Relax on the covered porch or the riverside gazebo as you listen to the rapids from the fish trap that was made by the indigenous Indians in times gone by. The property is located at the end of a mile long dirt road on a level 1 acre fenced lot.True end of the road privacy!
For the kids, the Trout Chalet has Ping Pong, air hockey, and Xbox 360. Everybody is happy!
The property includes two 1,200 sq. ft. chalets and is located just 15 minutes from Murphy NC and Blairsville GA. Antique shops and flea markets are just minutes away. Rent one or both chalets for the perfect getaway! Combined, the two chalets sleep 10. The Tranquil Chalet sleeps 6 and the Trout Chalet sleeps 4. This listing is for the Trout Chalet.
Our family spent years camping. We always hoped to get one of the camp sites next to the creek at Vogel State Park so we could relax to the sounds of the rushing water. That rarely happened…
As my wife and I grew older, we got tired of the walk to the communal bathroom, lousy showers, lack of privacy, and the not so great sleep in the camper. As our kids grew older, the allure of sleeping in a tent with no WiFi faded so we set out in search of the next best thing that allows us to enjoy all of the outdoor benefits of camping, but with all the comforts of home. We found it at River Run!
We chose this property because it is very unique and incredibly relaxing. You can rent one or both chalets depending on your needs. The covered wrap-around metal roofed porches are just feet from the Nottely River. You can fish, hike, go antiquing, sit by the fire and listen to the river, BBQ on the outdoor grill, watch the cows graze across the river, or just sit on the porch in the rockers and enjoy the sights and sounds of the Nottely River.
The two chalets offer something for all members of the family to enjoy while on vacation:
• Husband can trout fish while the wife goes antiquing. The best of both worlds!
• Rent both chalets and give your teenagers the privacy they want and the privacy you desire.
• Ideal for two families to vacation together and still give each other privacy.
• Ideal for a family reunion.
• Do the adults want to sleep in a real bed and take a shower in a real bathroom but the kids want to camp We have tents and sleeping bags for the kids so they can sleep in the great outdoors next to the fire. Kind of like camping but much better for the adults!
• Kayak or tube down the Nottely River. The property is 2.5 miles downstream from Nottely dam. You can get into the river at the base of the dam.
• Rent a pontoon boat on nearby Lake Nottely.
The fish themed Trout Chalet is designed to be giant game room with beds. It includes WiFi, vintage Xbox 360, Ping Pong, and air hockey. Got a moody teenager with friends who want their privacy Or wants to play their music too loud Or wants to watch something different on TV No problem! The Trout Chalet is the perfect kid’s getaway while you enjoy the peace and relaxation of the Tranquil Chalet. They are happy and you are happy! Perfect!
The Tranquil Chalet is more refined and is ideal for those looking for a more relaxed experience with just the adults in mind, but the kids are welcome! They just won’t have as much fun as staying in the Trout Chalet…

The location is indeed beautiful. The road leading to the cabin is rugged, narrow and rough in places, but worth it if you have a SUV. Not so sure a regular vehicle would make it. The cabin was nice and clean. It does need some updates. If you’re interested in preparing your own meals, the cookware there is not recommended. The water smells of sulfur, but it is well water and hard. We had problems getting the door to unlock upon arrival and even after the owner having the batteries changed, the door never locked when we went out daily. It is a very safe area, but still…. The cabin is not luxury but adequate. The wood burning fireplace was a plus and we had a fire every morning and night. If you’re looking for a plush cabin this is not the place. If you’re looking for an affordable and comfortable place to stay while you spend the days exploring, this is the place. There are some repairs that need to be made. Some as simple as light bulbs in the laundry room and living area. The owner was quick to reply with the difficulties we had with the door lock and easy to deal with. We enjoyed our stay, the location was indeed beautiful but would we go back, unfortunately no.
The property is beautiful and fantastic. It had everything we needed. The mile drive on the dirt road was a bit rough. We had had a great deal of rain the 24 hours prior to our departure and I was fearful the I would not be able to get out, but the road held up just fine!
My wife and I had a nice time. We enjoyed the river view very much. We also saw deer in the field, a momma with her baby. We read previous reviews and we were glad that we did, that could be a tough drive in the dark, so we were sure to get there before dark. The air hockey table and X-box kept us entertained on a rainy day. The chalet was very clean!!
We stayed two nights at the Trout Chalet. We enjoyed our stay. The river was beautiful and peaceful. The home was spacious and supplied all our needs. The negative was the dirt road entering the property. A 4- wheel drive should be recommended for this property. We got there without one but it was difficult. Also this is a one lane dirt road. If you meet a vehicle someone will have to backup. The shades in the downstairs of our chalet are not privacy anyone outside can see right in. The owner was quick to answer all my questions in email before we left. We enjoyed our stay.
The cabin was very nice and comfortable. Location on the river was very nice. Enjoyed the fiver from the front porch. A few negatives, the one lane mostly dirt road was a little rough, the well water had a “ rotten egg” sulfur smell, the yard needed mowing.
The stay in the chalet was great including the scenery and the space. There are some things that I didn’t quite agree with such as having to make the bed prior to laying in it, there were a lot of small rules that made check out a little stressful. Additional fees or description of the initial reservation seemed to change such as cleaning the bedding prior to leaving or no children being allowed. The instructions all over the home on paper were contradicting to what was left on the emailed instructions. Overall I would consider the stay here again, it was serene and my daughter enjoyed the goat farm and donkey as we road in and out of the dirt road.
Absolutely the best cabin experience I have had thus far. The porch, rockers and hot coffee while watching the fog lift off of the river was extremely calming and thought provoking. The meadow is breathtaking and all I could do while walking through it was imagine ways that I could convince the owners that they should most definitely add me onto the property title (hehe). My two teenagers were engaged the entire time with the table games, river and sheep farm. My three year old played continuously outside and ran laps around the lush green yard. He chased lightning bugs and tossed many a stones into the river. My only regret is that we didn’t rent it longer. The owners were very clear and communicative from the very beginning. We hope to return again some day! Three items we thought you might like to know: 1) City folk might be alarmed at first by the dirt road that leads through and to the cabin. We were definitely caught off guard at first by the path that laid ahead of us, but after the first time we drove back and forth to town, it became apart of the adventure and fun in our trip. We have a small front wheel drive SUV and she did just fine getting over some of the bumps that we city slickers are not used to. 2) The river was much larger and powerful then we expected and we were shocked to see how much it receded after the generators were closed and no longer releasing water. We enjoyed being in the river so much! 3) If you are able to rent the other cabin with friends or family, that would probably be ideal. Thankfully we got along and enjoyed the company of the other family that was there, but I can see how it might be awkward or uncomfortable if you don’t mend with the other cabin dwellers.
We enjoyed the house and especially the location on the river. Dinner or lunch on the gazebo or hanging out having some drinks looking across the river at the cattle across the way was a great experience at the property. If you have children this property is also ideal because there are plenty of things for the children to do including ping pong table and air hockey table. There’s also a separate house on the property if you have a larger family
What a great property! My friend and I had everything we needed - including a breath of fresh air. We were able to enjoy sitting by the river and walking through the meadow. We didn’t want to leave!
We had a great visit! Beautiful location along the river.. Thank you!
