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!

River Run Chalets Information
You can rent one or both of the chalets depending on your needs. Got a moody teenager with friends who want their privacy? Or wants to play their music too loud? Or wants to watch something different on TV? No problem! The Trout Chalet is the perfect kid’s getaway while the adults enjoy the peace and relaxation of the Tranquil Chalet. They are happy and you are happy! Perfect!

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 property is 2.5 miles downstream from Nottely dam. You can get into the river at the base of the dam. We do not supply any flotation devices.
• Rent a pontoon boat on nearby Lake Nottely.

If you are interested in renting both chalets, go to the VRBO search box on the VRBO home screen. Type in the property number 3922308 in the search box titled “Going to”. DO NOT HIT ENTER.

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.

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.

The Hint Is In The Name! TRANQUIL!

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.

Murphy, NC Chalet

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!

Amazing Views

Wonderful location. One of the best rentals I have stayed at for views and comfort of Cabin. Views are unmatched. Right on the river. Even if you don't use the upstairs bedroom, make sure to get up and look at the view off of the upper deck. Dirt road going in was a little more rustic that I planned for, but the views are definitely worth it.

Weekend Getaway

My husband, 11 year old son, and I stayed here over Labor Day Weekend and it was just what we needed! The property is beautifully maintained and so comfortable. It’s off the beaten path but a short drive to downtown Murphy, which was super cute! We kayaked through the Riverwalk area during the day and relaxed on the porch at night. Communication with the owners was fantastic as well. We will definitely return!

Quiet little spot

Overall it was a great trip! The reviews on the water there are 100% correct - bring bottled water! I also recommend bringing breakfast food and snacks… we usually eat out the whole vacation so we don’t have to cook or do dishes, but everything to eat is 20 plus minutes out. The husband and kid loved fishing the creek and the fiend was gorgeous to just look at and drink coffee. Would absolutely stay again.
