About this property
Tranquil Chalet - Nottely Riverfront, Starlink w/ Roku TV, Easy River Access
Fish and relax just feet from the Nottely River! One of a kind riverfront property located on the beautiful Nottely River. The Tranquil Chalet is located on a 1 acre fenced-in lot on a 25-acre meadow with 9 acres of river front property to hike and explore. We have upgraded the internet to Starlink. No more unbelievably slow HughesNet or DISH internet! We also upgraded the Wi-Fi and added two brand new Roku TVs. The property is located at the end of a mile long dirt road - true end of the road privacy!
We chose this property because it is very unique and incredibly relaxing. The covered wrap-around metal roofed porches are just feet from the Nottely River. You can fish, hike, go antiquing, sit by the fire and listen to the river, BBQ on the outdoor grill, watch the cows graze across the river, or just sit on the porch in the rockers and enjoy the sights and sounds of the Nottely River.
The Tranquil Chalet is located just 15 minutes from Murphy NC and Blairsville GA. Antique shops and flea markets are just minutes away.
Our family spent years camping. We always hoped to get one of the camp sites next to the creek at Vogel State Park so we could relax to the sounds of the rushing water. That rarely happened…
As my wife and I grew older, we got tired of the walk to the communal bathroom, lousy showers, lack of privacy, and the not-so-great sleep in the camper. As our kids grew older, the allure of sleeping in a tent with no WiFi faded so we set out in search of the next best thing that allows us to enjoy all of the outdoor benefits of camping, but with all the comforts of home. We found it at River Run!

The two chalets offer something for all members of the family to enjoy while on vacation: • Husband can trout fish while the wife goes antiquing. The best of both worlds! • Rent both chalets and give your teenagers the privacy they want and the privacy you desire. • Ideal for two families to vacation together and still give each other privacy. • Ideal for a family reunion. • Do the adults want to sleep in a real bed and take a shower in a real bathroom but the kids want to camp? We have tents and sleeping bags for the kids so they can sleep in the great outdoors next to the fire. Kind of like camping but much better for the adults! • Kayak or tube down the Nottely River.

The cabin was great. Beds were comfortable. Cabin is centrally located to shopping and restaurants.We had rainy weather therefore the road was very muddy. But our truck made it through noproblem. Host answered all messsges quickly. Loved our stay there
Throughly enjoy our stay. Had to walk a bit to find the fish but got 4 nice rainbow trout to take home. Everything was clean and nice. Burn ban kept us from fire pit but, wood fireplace made up for it. Only complaint was the road to the cabin, full of ruts and after rain....had to put it in 4 wh drive to get up the driveway. Would definitely stay again if we just wanted to hang out and not go to town everyday to fish.
Ready to step right in and catch a nap. Supplies like soap / dish washer and laundry detergent was on hand. All essentials in the kitchen were provided. ThanksThe road getting from the black top to the cabins --- was sporty and fun. The area was secluded but made for a great get-away
My family will always remember our trip to Murphy, NC. We love VRBO, and as we’ve gotten older especially, because we still take trips with our adult daughters, and staying in a one room hotel has zero appeal. We were visiting Murphy for a particularly difficult funeral, so we were so looking forward to having a place where we could get away from people to relax in a riverside chalet. Traversing the North Carolina dirt road was something of an adventure in getting to the house. The girls were whooping and giggling with the bumps and bounces, but it was all part of the adventure. When we walked up to the house, we could tell this place was well taken care of, with beautiful views from every side. I could tell the owners take great pride in their property. My daughter was particularly excited about getting to hang out by the river. We even got to meet one of the neighbors, who was very friendly and helpful. You wont be sorry sorry booking this chalet. This will be a trip we talk about for years to come.
Very tranquil, and quiet. A little way to have to tote in luggage for 2 senior ladies and somewhat rough drive. But, enjoyed the tranquility of the river.
Excellent directions from host. Well-kept, high-quality house and grounds. Quiet, country location to just sit by the river. We had a really good family time here. The mile-long drive in and out on a dirt road should be done in daylight; we used a minivan with 4" road clearance and never bottomed.
My sister and I enjoyed the water and watching how the fish trap came into view. The trek up or down the mountain was an adventure but we enjoyed it. The home was perfect for us to spend time together and give us our space. We made several day trips and some stay home ones. The neighbors were helpful and we really enjoyed our stay.
Excellent river watching experience. Very relaxing. Drive in was a little rough, but enjoyable none the less. Exciting to watch the river rise when the dam released water. You can see the difference in the photos attached.
Great place, very clean, great owners. Trout fishing is better in the afternoon, bring waders and get in the water for best fishing experience. Overall great experience. Will book again.
Such a pleasant setting and SO tranquil! Great "getaway" place but not too far from some restaurants and necessity shopping places. While we went out for dinner and driving the area, it would be a great place to bring supplies and cook (inside or on outdoor BBQ) and just remain for the duration.

The host interaction was timely and the home and property were beautiful. However, I wish we had been better prepared for the drive in from the main road. I’m not even sure you can call that a dirt road. It was more like an ATV trail. Unfortunately, we had trouble getting out of Houston and ending up having to drive that “road” for the first time at 1:45am. So, we couldn’t see much. Which made it terribly challenging. However, even when we could, it was not an easy drive. The road is not maintained at all and has several dangerous areas, especially if anyone is trying to go in the opposite direction. It’s too bad too because the home was so nice.
This is a beautiful property. The chalet was very clean and nicely decorated. It was obvious the hosts thought of just about everything needed to make our stay enjoyable. The area (right on the Nottely River) is quiet and tranquil. Our only reservation was the 1.1 mile winding road leading to the property. Otherwise this place was perfect!
A little trepidation as we were traveling down the dirt road, but what we found at the end was a paradise. We thoroughly enjoyed the property and surrounding land. Sitting beside the River under the gazebo was worth it all!
The property was great! The house had everything I needed and was decorated beautifully. I really enjoyed sitting on the porch listening to the river and the rain on the tin roof!!! Definitely enjoyable, relaxing much needed moments!
