Beautiful old house on the river!

This was a perfect spot for us and our fur babies! We loved the location - close to town but far enough away to feel at peace with nature! The house was accurate with it's description and had everything we needed (because we were snowed in- but that was part of the plan!). There were plenty of supplies in the kitchen and bathrooms and we appreciated the bowls and blankets for our pups. Communication with the owner was phenomenal. Robbie went above and beyond to assure our safety to their home by allowing us to arrive early so we didn't have to drive in the storm. We would love to stay here again soon!

Fall Family Vacation

Was visiting family in Murphy. My wife and myself, our 3 boys ages 8, 6, and 3. And two dogs. Our stay was perfect for what we needed. The kids love playing in the river and having fires at night. The dogs loved the giant yard and the pen was perfect for letting them out at night. All around it was a great trip and perfect location.

River front - Murphy

Nice home with very nice owner who is quick to respond with any questions or problems. House is stocked with just about everything you could need. Also had plenty of tissue , paper towels and detergent - this is something you rarely find in rentals. House was clean. The only reason for 4 stars there is floors could use a deep cleaning. I’m sure since it is pet friendly that’s hard to keep up with. It is at my home. Top two stairs are a little tricky as they are a different height than previous ones but I would love to stay again in warm weather where I could enjoy the river. It was freezing cold and began snowing while we were there

Great stay at Trout Inn on Hiawassee River. Robbie our Host was easily in contact and informative. Loved the Inn and it was well stocked with everything you need and very comfortable. Loved to sit on the porch and listen to the river so peaceful. We also enjoyed our motorcycle rides to places of interest in not only NC but the neighboring states ad well. Definitely will be back.

Very nice stay on the river

The cabin was very nice and as shown on VRBO. There were all kinds of amenities including body wash and shampoo. Listening to the river was very relaxing, Overall the location is very good. Murphy is only 10-15 minutes away for shopping and restaurants. The host was very helpful with any questions we had prior to our visit. The beds were ok but a little on the firm side. I think some of the living room furniture could use an upgrade. We traveled with two dogs and the cabin was well suited for them. They seemed to enjoy their walks around the area.
