Trout 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 Trout 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 and enjoy the sights and sounds of the Nottely River.

The Trout 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!

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!

GREAT WiFi - Great experience
The Trout Chalet was everything we had hoped it would be. The owners went above and beyond to warn us about potential road closures with Helene on the way. They made checking out early very easy. The river is beautiful and unfortunately we didn’t have time to fish. We were in town to work and the WiFi was perfect! other reviewers stated that you needed 4WD. We did have Jeeps. The locals have regulars cars and make it in and out every day. We didn’t think it was hard to find or difficult to get to. The cabin has everything stocked that you would ever need. For those who complained about the sheets, I would rather put on clean sheets than sleep in a bed in which the sheets may have been on for days if the cabin hasn’t been rented. We thought everything was perfect.

Beautiful location
The location is indeed beautiful. The road leading to the cabin is rugged, narrow and rough in places, but worth it if you have a SUV. Not so sure a regular vehicle would make it. The cabin was nice and clean. It does need some updates. If you’re interested in preparing your own meals, the cookware there is not recommended. The water smells of sulfur, but it is well water and hard. We had problems getting the door to unlock upon arrival and even after the owner having the batteries changed, the door never locked when we went out daily. It is a very safe area, but still…. The cabin is not luxury but adequate. The wood burning fireplace was a plus and we had a fire every morning and night. If you’re looking for a plush cabin this is not the place. If you’re looking for an affordable and comfortable place to stay while you spend the days exploring, this is the place. There are some repairs that need to be made. Some as simple as light bulbs in the laundry room and living area. The owner was quick to reply with the difficulties we had with the door lock and easy to deal with. We enjoyed our stay, the location was indeed beautiful but would we go back, unfortunately no.

The property is beautiful and fantastic. It had everything we needed. The mile drive on the dirt road was a bit rough. We had had a great deal of rain the 24 hours prior to our departure and I was fearful the I would not be able to get out, but the road held up just fine!

My wife and I had a nice time. We enjoyed the river view very much. We also saw deer in the field, a momma with her baby. We read previous reviews and we were glad that we did, that could be a tough drive in the dark, so we were sure to get there before dark. The air hockey table and X-box kept us entertained on a rainy day. The chalet was very clean!!

We stayed two nights at the Trout Chalet. We enjoyed our stay. The river was beautiful and peaceful. The home was spacious and supplied all our needs. The negative was the dirt road entering the property. A 4- wheel drive should be recommended for this property. We got there without one but it was difficult. Also this is a one lane dirt road. If you meet a vehicle someone will have to backup. The shades in the downstairs of our chalet are not privacy anyone outside can see right in. The owner was quick to answer all my questions in email before we left. We enjoyed our stay.

Great view and stay
The stay in the chalet was great including the scenery and the space. There are some things that I didn’t quite agree with such as having to make the bed prior to laying in it, there were a lot of small rules that made check out a little stressful. Additional fees or description of the initial reservation seemed to change such as cleaning the bedding prior to leaving or no children being allowed. The instructions all over the home on paper were contradicting to what was left on the emailed instructions. Overall I would consider the stay here again, it was serene and my daughter enjoyed the goat farm and donkey as we road in and out of the dirt road.

Restful Existence
Absolutely the best cabin experience I have had thus far. The porch, rockers and hot coffee while watching the fog lift off of the river was extremely calming and thought provoking. The meadow is breathtaking and all I could do while walking through it was imagine ways that I could convince the owners that they should most definitely add me onto the property title (hehe). My two teenagers were engaged the entire time with the table games, river and sheep farm. My three year old played continuously outside and ran laps around the lush green yard. He chased lightning bugs and tossed many a stones into the river. My only regret is that we didn’t rent it longer. The owners were very clear and communicative from the very beginning. We hope to return again some day! Three items we thought you might like to know: 1) City folk might be alarmed at first by the dirt road that leads through and to the cabin. We were definitely caught off guard at first by the path that laid ahead of us, but after the first time we drove back and forth to town, it became apart of the adventure and fun in our trip. We have a small front wheel drive SUV and she did just fine getting over some of the bumps that we city slickers are not used to. 2) The river was much larger and powerful then we expected and we were shocked to see how much it receded after the generators were closed and no longer releasing water. We enjoyed being in the river so much! 3) If you are able to rent the other cabin with friends or family, that would probably be ideal. Thankfully we got along and enjoyed the company of the other family that was there, but I can see how it might be awkward or uncomfortable if you don’t mend with the other cabin dwellers.

Beautiful view of river
We enjoyed the house and especially the location on the river. Dinner or lunch on the gazebo or hanging out having some drinks looking across the river at the cattle across the way was a great experience at the property. If you have children this property is also ideal because there are plenty of things for the children to do including ping pong table and air hockey table. There’s also a separate house on the property if you have a larger family

The chalet's location is wonderful right on the river where you can sit and have your coffee on the porch while listening to the water rush by. River in front and a pasture full of pleasant cows on the side. We ate every meal outside on the porch. Getting to the property is by about a mile of dirt road so I would highly recommend arriving in the daylight. Great stay and the house has everything you'll need.

Great property but some work to do
This is a beautiful little cabin on a nice creek. My son loved the location. There are two units very close on the same lot. Luckily no one was in the other when we went. If someone was there you would not have much privacy. Would be great to rent both for a larger family. You definitely need to plan on not arriving too late or leaving early in the morning. The road is a long one lane dirt road. Definitely use the owners directions, Not gps, once you are on the dirt road. We didn’t get there until about midnight because we drive from out of state. We were so tired and I wanted to carry my son to bed but found out they do not make the beds for you. So I had to go make three beds at midnight before I could lay down. Likewise on the morning we were leaving we had to leave at 3 am for our long drive and you are required to wash and dry all of the sheets so I had to get up at 1 am to do laundry. So definitely plan your times to arrange for their requests. I have stayed at many vrbo and never had to do that. You are also required to put out and pull in the patio furniture. So just plan some time for set up and pack up. Overall the cabin was clean and nice and seems new. We were out most all day and there is lots to do in the area. We hiked and went gem mining and up to Cherokee. Definitely a great place for kids!!!

We absolutely LOVED this fabulous rental. It was very private and a true escape! Definitely go!
We were so pleased when we arrived at the River Run Chalet. Following a dirt road we knew it would be private and it was. The river is spectacular and watching it rise each day due to the opening of the dam was very exciting. Access to play in it is just through the gate and not inconvenient. We loved building fires and grilling on the fabulous stone BBQ pit. We found ourselves spending most of our time sitting on the Pavilion on the river just enjoying the beautiful scenery. The house is apparently somewhat new because it was all very tidy and in order and very clean. The game tables were fun and would be fabulous for kids. If you are with a group and need four bedrooms these two houses are the place to go! The owner was very accessible by text and offered a lot of help which we appreciated. Thanks Kevin!! The one and only thing that we would NOT have liked is if the other house had been rented at the same time by people we don't know. In this case, there would have been no privacy and we would have had to share everything outside. Luckily for us, this time it wasn't! But for this reason is a great place friends or family. A++!
