Beautiful and peaceful views!
We very much enjoyed our stay here. There were beautiful river views from the picture windows and walking over to the island in back of the house was a treat. We also enjoyed evening strolls through the neighborhood and meeting new people. Thoughtful touches such as natural products were welcome and fast response from the owner when needed was much appreciated. Definitely hope to visit again!

Perfect getaway house!
The home was great and we felt so comfortable there! It’s easy to get to and the road you come in on is so magical (especially in December with the Christmas lights). Very peaceful area and the view of the river was spectacular. Hosts were super friendly and helpful! House is in the perfect central location between Hayesville and Murphy. Would definitely recommend and would love to stay again!
