"River Paradise!" Luxury waterfront home situated on beautiful Hiawassee River.

Luxury home situated on beautiful Hiawassee River. Walk the path leading from front door to the river or just sit on the deck and enjoy the river views. A few steps to the river for your morning coffee or evening cocktail. This beautiful home is well equipped with heated bathroom floors, wrap around deck with view of river, with 2 master suites with private porches and much more. Home in convenient location, 10 minutes to the town of Murphy (and Casino), and just 1 mile to the John C Campbell Folk School. Nothing better than the sound of the river from your bedroom. Flip a switch to light the gas fireplace logs on those chilly mornings. Located on a quiet street with just a few homes. Great spot for your morning walks. Perfect mountain getaway. You will be in Paradise and on Paradise (road name).
Home equipped with all your needs like WiFi, gas grill, fully equipped kitchen and more. Television in each bedroom and living room. Internet with 100MB download speeds for working from home, streaming, or gaming. Short distance to local attractions like Fires Creek for picnics, hiking, and fishing. Nantahala has great kayaking and rafting.
This property has a limit of 4 guests only, no exceptions.

We had to change our plans because of a hurricane, and they were so helpful! Truly life savors! The place is stunning and the river is extremely relaxing. We would love to return!

Peace and relaxation
What a great cabin. The view to the river is so calming. The two suites made it great for us and my in-laws to have our own space. Any questions we had we received a super quick response and Mike went above and beyond for us. Anything we needed, Mike had. We cooked a large meal and had everything we needed. I can’t wait to book another trip and come back.

Wonderful home by the Hiawasee
Wonderful home by the river! Well-appointed, great layout to accommodate two couples, nicely furnished, quiet location, easy to access and most importantly - right beside the river! A perfect spot for those attending the Folk School which is a 2-3 minute drive at tops. Or a perfect spot for anyone visiting this section of the Western NC mountains. Very enjoyable stay and we look forward to returning!

Awesome spot!
We truly enjoyed our stay! The home is wonderful and that spot on the river is so beautiful! The location is perfect- close to the river, hiking spots, JC Campbell, Lake Chatuge... But just staying at the house and the river was a lovely vacation in itself! The only suggestions- We did have a tiny bit of a challenge figuring out the key pad to get in, so it might help others to have more info about that. And the bed upstairs was a bit uncomfortable.

Even better the 2nd time around...
This is the second time we've stayed at the cabin this year. It is in a perfect location for attending classes at the Folk School, but this time our visit was purely a vacation. We enjoyed relaxing on the porch to the sounds of the rushing Hiawasee and the birds chirping and flying about - we even saw a young bald eagle swooping down the river! The cabin is in a central and convenient spot for visiting the nearby charming small towns yet feels like a private retreat.

Truly a riverside paradise
We enjoyed everything about this home - cleanliness, location, home layout, prompt communication with management. The only advice I have is to provide more detailed keypad instructions upfront with the check-in process. This will ensure getting “welcomed” into the vacation home after a long travel day is a smooth process. Once that was figured out, though, everything was better than expected. Plus, the sound of the river while enjoying our morning coffees on the porch was the perfect way to begin each day. We would definitely book this home again.

Clean and appeallng, well outfitted
The sound of the river was so relaxing. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was well outfitted for cooking and the home was beautifully appointed. Two exceptions: we never could figure out how to use the TV. Everything else had great instructions though, ty. The other thing was we were at first rather disappointed that there was a small road between the house and the river itself, but river access was nice and easy to get to down a short path. And the house and decks do have great views of that stretch of the river. Very dog friendly lodging.

Wonderful "River Paradise"
River Paradise was exactly as the photos on the VRBO website depicted. The location was close to downtown Murphy, Ingles (grocery store), Brasstown, and Hayestown - all fun places to visit and shop. The house was roomy and nicely decorated with the North Carolina theme. The kitchen was well stocked with everything one would need. Our favorite was its close location right on the beautiful Hiawassee River with comfortable chairs to sit, sip a glass of wine and enjoy the river with the added bonus of lots of Canada Geese to watch and enjoy. Mike, the local manager, was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly to both emails and telephone calls. Overall, it was an absolutely wonderful trip (we stayed 5 days). I would definitely recommend River Paradise to all who love the NC area and rivers.
