We have stayed at the Riverhouse on the Hiwassee three times and it is always perfect. There is plenty of space for our entire family to spread out, furnishings and amenities are well thought out and in good condition, and the setting cannot be beat. It is close to Murphy but it feels like it could in another world. There is nothing like sitting on the porch with a good book and watching the river roll past. We will definitely return.

Michael, we are thrilled that you had a great experience with our Riverhouse. It truly is a great place for a respite from the hustle and bustle of busy life in the “real world”. We look forward to your next escape.

Very beautiful home but I didn’t like that there’s no blinds in most of the windows.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the beauty of the home. We followed up with the owner, who would like to address the following:
- Most windows throughout the property do have blinds, and the few that do not were intentionally left uncovered to showcase the views of the Hiwassee River and the unique architectural dormers.
- The listing photos accurately reflect which windows have coverings, so guests know what to expect before arrival.
- We’re sorry this aspect didn’t align with your preferences and impacted your overall rating.
We appreciate your stay and would love the chance to welcome you back for an even better experience in the future.
The did great job after the first booking was canceled by the owner when construction was not finished.
I'm glad we were able to accommodate you and your guests at the last minute. I hope you enjoyed your stay in Murphy and will visit again soon!
