Hayesville ‘River Run’ Home on Hiwassee River!

The house was larger than expected, well stocked, and very clean(including outdoor spaces). We had a party of 12 people and it never once felt crowded. There is plenty of space to spread out with lots of activities. The kids enjoyed ping pong downstairs while the guys enjoyed playing pool upstairs. The women mostly hung out on the beautiful wrap around deck to chat. The kids made s’mores at the fire pit in the yard. Every morning the adults enjoyed coffee on the deck listening to the river. The river is a bit of a hike to get to but totally worth it and the walk got easier for us each day. Just bring a soft cooler, chairs, and water shoes or whatever you need to hang for a while. There is a path to the right of the house that made the walk easier for my older parents. You can also take in views from the top of the stairs without going all the way down. The river was magical! We saw otters, geese, and deer. It’s pretty shallow so we were able to put our camping chairs in the water and sit. We even walked around in the water looking for pretty rocks. The house is close to Murphy which has a lot of restaurants and shops so it’s a great location. Lake Chatuge and Fires Creek were super fun places to visit too. The owners are very sweet and helpful. You can feel the love in this home. It’s like going to grandma’s house. It has such a warm cozy vibe and we could tell this is a special place for the owners as well. My family said this was the best house we’ve ever rented (and we’ve rented multiple beautiful homes on the river). We made such special memories. We would stay here again! :)

The property was lovely and clean! Everything went smoothly with the communications and the arrival & departure. Gwendy was amazing. Even to the point where I’d left some important items behind (bag of proprietary chargers + important legal documents I didn’t know I’d even brought with me) and she went out of her way to double & triple check the property to make sure I got all of my belongings shipped back to me! Gwendy, YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER! 1000/10 would stay again at this property!

Very comfortable home. Everything you need is there for use if needed. Would recommend for others to enjoy. Owner sent information before arrival and number to contact if anything was needed. Thank you to Gwendy for letting us enjoy your beautiful home.

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. 🥰

We had a wonderful time. The house is beautiful and everything felt new and fresh. The house had everything we could need.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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!!

Beautiful place!

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.

We stayed at River Run from 11/27 thru 12/1/24. This was a family vacation with my husband and myself , our children and grandchildren. The home is spacious and inviting, and is thoughtfully designed with beautiful furnished spaces inside and outside. It is three levels with a master on the main level, a queen bedroom and bedroom with bunk beds on the lower level, and a queen bedroom and second bedroom with two fulls on that level, which nicely accommodated our family of 11. There were beautiful full bathrooms on each floor and an additional half bath on the main level. The screened porch on the main level was furnished with multiple seating areas, and the porch on the lower level had swings, seating, and a ping pong table, not to mention the game room on the upper level with a beautiful pool table. The view from the main level includes the beautiful river and you can hear it from the porch. There are two fire pits outside- one in the upper lawn and one beside the river, both with chairs for outdoor gatherings. There are stairs from the house down to the river, and a trail that also leads down by the river. The trail is beautiful for hiking, and on 2 days I took the trail to the right of the house for a great hike. There is much attention to detail in the design and it is obvious that much thought was put into the comfort and convenience of the guests who visit this beautiful home. The host was very gracious and available for questions and concerns. We had no complaints and recommend this home. It is a wonderful retreat, and is private, but there are things to do nearby if you desire to leave the house. We enjoyed it very much!

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

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.

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!!
