IT IS PARADISE!

Paradise Cottage will exceed your expectations. The owners have thought of everything and then some. The Cottage is on the Hiawassee River. Relaxing views while sitting in the gazebo. Nice quiet neighborhood convenient to downtown Murphy and other sites. Spotless. Dog friendly. Highly recommend and hope to return. Thanks for letting us stay at Paradise Cottage.

Charming and thoughtful! Adorable place to stay

Excellent stay! Very welcoming and peaceful! We enjoyed hanging out by the river for a bit on Saturday afternoon. Anything you could have possibly needed was there. Wish we could have stayed longer! We will definitely be back and will recommend to friends.

Perfect Getaway

We had such a wonderful time at Paradise Cottage! It was a peaceful retreat for us while taking a class at the Folk School and also working remotely. It was minutes from the Folk School and convenient for everything we needed. The place is very comfortable, super cute, and felt like a home away from home - with a better view! The river was gorgeous and we even saw deer with their babies at the rivers edge a few times. Hope to return!

Disconnect anniversary

Had to change plans at the last minute due to tropical storm cancelling beach plans… so headed to the mountains instead. Great location for semi-seclusion with nice creek access. Sat in the water sipping wine and enjoying the disconnection, yet still had access to the town for nice meals. Rode the electric rail bikes in Andrews. All in all a very nice Virgo and we will surely come back (likely bringing the grandkid for some creek time!).

Quaint and peaceful

The purpose of my trip was just to have a short getaway for me and my dogs, and Paradise Cottage was exactly the place I needed. It was great to sit in the gazebo and listen to the river and other sounds of nature. The river was easily accessible to either put your feet in or go kayaking, if you want to. Plus, it’s not too far away from food and other activities. Michele and Ed were very friendly and great hosts. Thank you for the welcoming stay!

Great for the Folk School

We spent (yet another) week at the folk school; this cottage is ideal as it is so close to the school, is quiet and right on the gorgeous Hiwassee river.

Relaxing at Paradise Found

We had the best vacation at Paradise Found. The home was exactly as pictured/described. Everything need was thought of down to the smallest details. We especially appreciated the dog friendly atmosphere. Michele and Ed were friendly hosts. The neighborhood is beautiful. The river was the star of the show for our family. Hands down 100% recommend this listing!

Great stay next to the river

Loved staying here. Host was very easy to communicate with and met us there when we arrived. Brought our dog and there was a small fenced in area in the back if we needed it. Beautiful view of the river. Spring time and everything was in bloom.
