Hayesville ‘River Run’ Home on Hiwassee River!

Reviews

• Absolutely Perfect!

  5/5

  Our entire extended family had plenty of room in this large Airbnb. The three floors enabled us to put the grandbabies down to sleep while the older kids continued to play. The outdoor fire pit was enjoyed and the access to the river was absolutely beautiful. Those of us who enjoy cold water took a dip in the Hiawassee River. The home was very clean and had plenty of hot water and GREAT water pressure for our large family. The beds and pillows were very comfy. Both kitchens were super functional for our meal preparations. Everyone loved the fantastic wrap around porch. We would definitely stay again!! Excellence at its best!!!

  Thank you for taking the time to write a review, and we are thrilled to know that your family had such a wonderful time at our home in the mountains! The river is so special and we love our view of it, and we indeed love getting in the cool Crisp water and enjoying the views from there as well. We love to have our entire family up with us, and it’s great for building sweet and lasting memories. We do our best to offer all of the comforts of home for our guests, so I’m glad you found so many for you and your family. The fire pits and wood stove are a hit for our family and make our time here a true mountain experience. Thank you for taking care of our home and you’re welcome back anytime!

• Family Fun on the River

  5/5

  The house was larger than expected, well stocked, and very clean(including outdoor spaces). We had a party of 12 people and it never once felt crowded. There is plenty of space to spread out with lots of activities. The kids enjoyed ping pong downstairs while the guys enjoyed playing pool upstairs. The women mostly hung out on the beautiful wrap around deck to chat. The kids made s’mores at the fire pit in the yard. Every morning the adults enjoyed coffee on the deck listening to the river. The river is a bit of a hike to get to but totally worth it and the walk got easier for us each day. Just bring a soft cooler, chairs, and water shoes or whatever you need to hang for a while. There is a path to the right of the house that made the walk easier for my older parents. You can also take in views from the top of the stairs without going all the way down. The river was magical! We saw otters, geese, and deer. It’s pretty shallow so we were able to put our camping chairs in the water and sit. We even walked around in the water looking for pretty rocks. The house is close to Murphy which has a lot of restaurants and shops so it’s a great location. Lake Chatuge and Fires Creek were super fun places to visit too. The owners are very sweet and helpful. You can feel the love in this home. It’s like going to grandma’s house. It has such a warm cozy vibe and we could tell this is a special place for the owners as well. My family said this was the best house we’ve ever rented (and we’ve rented multiple beautiful homes on the river). We made such special memories. We would stay here again! :)

• Phenomenal service & a life saver!

  5/5

  The property was lovely and clean! Everything went smoothly with the communications and the arrival & departure. Gwendy was amazing. Even to the point where I’d left some important items behind (bag of proprietary chargers + important legal documents I didn’t know I’d even brought with me) and she went out of her way to double & triple check the property to make sure I got all of my belongings shipped back to me! Gwendy, YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER! 1000/10 would stay again at this property!

  Manager's Response:

  Very comfortable home. Everything you need is there for use if needed. Would recommend for others to enjoy. Owner sent information before arrival and number to contact if anything was needed. Thank you to Gwendy for letting us enjoy your beautiful home.
