Fish and relax just feet from the Nottely River! One of a kind riverfront property located on the beautiful Nottely River. The Tranquil Chalet is located on a 1 acre fenced-in lot on a 25-acre meadow with 9 acres of river front property to hike and explore. 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. The property is located at the end of a mile long dirt road - true end of the road privacy!

We chose this property because it is very unique and incredibly relaxing. 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 Tranquil Chalet is located just 15 minutes from Murphy NC and Blairsville GA. Antique shops and flea markets are just minutes away.

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!

    Throughly enjoy our stay. Had to walk a bit to find the fish but got 4 nice rainbow trout to take home. Everything was clean and nice. Burn ban kept us from fire pit but, wood fireplace made up for it. Only complaint was the road to the cabin, full of ruts and after rain....had to put it in 4 wh drive to get up the driveway. Would definitely stay again if we just wanted to hang out and not go to town everyday to fish.

    Ready to step right in and catch a nap. Supplies like soap / dish washer and laundry detergent was on hand. All essentials in the kitchen were provided. ThanksThe road getting from the black top to the cabins --- was sporty and fun. The area was secluded but made for a great get-away

    The host interaction was timely and the home and property were beautiful. However, I wish we had been better prepared for the drive in from the main road. I’m not even sure you can call that a dirt road. It was more like an ATV trail. Unfortunately, we had trouble getting out of Houston and ending up having to drive that “road” for the first time at 1:45am. So, we couldn’t see much. Which made it terribly challenging. However, even when we could, it was not an easy drive. The road is not maintained at all and has several dangerous areas, especially if anyone is trying to go in the opposite direction. It’s too bad too because the home was so nice.

    Excellent directions from host. Well-kept, high-quality house and grounds. Quiet, country location to just sit by the river. We had a really good family time here. The mile-long drive in and out on a dirt road should be done in daylight; we used a minivan with 4 road clearance and never bottomed.

    Very tranquil, and quiet. A little way to have to tote in luggage for 2 senior ladies and somewhat rough drive. But, enjoyed the tranquility of the river.

    My sister and I enjoyed the water and watching how the fish trap came into view. The trek up or down the mountain was an adventure but we enjoyed it. The home was perfect for us to spend time together and give us our space. We made several day trips and some stay home ones. The neighbors were helpful and we really enjoyed our stay.

    Excellent river watching experience. Very relaxing. Drive in was a little rough, but enjoyable none the less. Exciting to watch the river rise when the dam released water. You can see the difference in the photos attached.

    This is a beautiful property. The chalet was very clean and nicely decorated. It was obvious the hosts thought of just about everything needed to make our stay enjoyable. The area (right on the Nottely River) is quiet and tranquil. Our only reservation was the 1.1 mile winding road leading to the property. Otherwise this place was perfect!

    Such a pleasant setting and SO tranquil! Great getaway place but not too far from some restaurants and necessity shopping places. While we went out for dinner and driving the area, it would be a great place to bring supplies and cook (inside or on outdoor BBQ) and just remain for the duration.

    We loved our trip and will be booking again in the future! All the comments about the driveway being rough are accurate but as long as you have 4wheel drive, a truck, or SUV you should be fine. The water is normal well water. We showered in it just fine but we have family that has well water so maybe thats why it didn’t bother us. Over all we loved this little cabin and can’t wait to come back❤️

    We loved the property being able to go out into the water with our boys. Boys being able to enjoy the nature. The road to get back into there was tricky but the boys enjoyed it and called it the roller coaster. They asked throughout the trip if we were going on the roller coaster again!

    I can't say enough about this property except, book it now, before I can go again. If you are looking for peace, quite and relaxation... this is it! Look no further. The place was clean, private and quiet! The communication with the property owner was pleasant. check in and out was easy. THANK YOU! I'll be back!

    Wonderful location. One of the best rentals I have stayed at for views and comfort of Cabin. Views are unmatched. Right on the river. Even if you don't use the upstairs bedroom, make sure to get up and look at the view off of the upper deck. Dirt road going in was a little more rustic that I planned for, but the views are definitely worth it.
