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. ##### Susan B.

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. ##### Shala G. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ann s.

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. ##### ann s. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynda T. Mar 15, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Beautiful spot in Paradise Weather for our stay was still cool but we enjoyed the decks and fire pit across the small street down by the water. We brought our dog who loved getting into the cold flowing mountain water. The stairs were step for us so we spent our time on the main floor where the living area and kitchen are and one master. If you’re a coffee lover, you will enjoy coffee by keurig, espresso maker or even, my favorite, the ole percolator. We enjoyed playing cards beside the gas indoor fireplace and coffee on the deck. Such a peaceful place to relax and enjoy the sounds of nature. ##### Lynda T. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa S. Aug 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Melissa S. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### PATIENCE A. Aug 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### 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. ##### PATIENCE A. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katherine M. Sep 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Katherine M. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan W.

Our third stay there. Thank you! ##### Lamar S. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Judith B. Aug 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Location was easy to get to and close to Murphy and all surrounding stores. House was beautiful, very clean, and comfortable. Property was really nice and the sound of the river was very soothing. Neighborhood was nice and quiet. Take a flash light for letting dogs out at night. Although house and property itself are well lit, everything to the right and left of house is very dark. Everything needed was provided (linens, TP, paper towels, dishes, espresso and regular coffee machines, toaster, dish washing supplies, etc.). WiFi works well. Would I stay again? Absolutely! Great place! ##### Judith B.
