Harrah's Cherokee Valley River Hotel & Casino – A Caesars Rewards Destination

10/10 Excellent

"Parking was convenient. Room good value and casino had plenty of slots."

Lakefront & Mountain cabin with firepit on Lake Hiwassee -“Bear Paw” Murphy, NC

10/10 Excellent

"Mary's cabin was a life-saver; she was very gracious and fast communicating back and forth with. We had an issue with a rental from another site and needed a place to stay within short notice. Mary arranged for us to get in sooner than original check in time because of this. The drive up to the cabin is very peaceful and the location of the cabin on Lake Hiawassee is amazing! Place was immaculately clean when we arrived. It is very spacious for many people to stay and be comfortable. One of the best features is the screened in back porch area. We enjoyed hanging out there eating breakfast, enjoying nature, playing card games, and putting together a puzzle on the large table. Cabin was well stocked with everything that we needed for our stay. Be aware that there is no cell signal up there but fast WiFi was provided at the cabin. It's a little bit of a drive from downtown Murphy so make sure to stock up on groceries before visiting. Be sure to drive a few miles up the road and visit Fields of the Wood. It's the largest display of the 10 Commandments. The Hiawassee Dam is nearby too so be sure to visit that location. We caught a wonderful sunset there while having a picnic. Mary gave some great suggestions to visit. One was Copperhill,TN. It's about a 40 min drive. It's a quaint mountain town with some cool restaurants and shops. Be sure to drive 20 more minutes down to Blue Ridge, GA. Me and my family really enjoyed our stay at the cabin and look forward to staying here again!"

10/10 Excellent

"Cabin was perfect for 2 oldsters, easy access from driveway for luggage, main floor had all comforts one needs, screened in porch for Bella ( our 14 pound doodle) she could survey her new domain safely. Washer and dryer was needed since we stayed a week. The views and changing leaves, rainbows were great bonuses. Highly recommend this cabin due to layout and options for families."

Cozy Murphy Cabin • Near Lake Hiwassee & Wineries

10/10 Excellent

"Everything in our opinion about the cabin was exceptional. Most importantly the cleanliness of the cabin. The complimentary snack basket was a nice gesture. The kitchen was well stocked with the necessary essentials. We liked that it was secluded and private while still felt safe. The cabin is just far enough away but still close enough to town to grab food and visit the shops. The host are informative and quick with responses. The people of Murphy and in the surrounding towns were also friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be returning to the cabin in the future."

Hideaway Chalet at Lake Hiwassee Bear Paw

10/10 Excellent

"Our trip was incredible. We got checked in very easily. The driveway is quite steep, but it wasn't an issue for us. The property is a little older, but very clean and quaint. Even though it is in an HOA type neighborhood, the house is very private and the security officer was very accommodating. Everything in the house worked as it was supposed to. We really enjoyed the area because it is less commercialized than Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. Definitely worth it to us. We would be glad to stay here again."
