Want to say the owners are fabulous.... My husband and I decided on a road trip and landed in Murphy NC. I called late in the evening, and they warmly greeted me. Only thing I suggest is the mattress I'm cabin 1 desperately needs to be changed as it sags in the middle. Other than that we loved it and... More

It is important to us that everyone is comfortable during their stay at the cabins, so we have just replaced the mattress in Cabin #1 with a brand new Serta Mattress for the comfort of our guests. More

My husband and I stayed at River Cove Cabins shortly after I had major surgery in 2009. We came across the website for River Cove and after speaking with Wanda on the phone we felt very good about choosing their place for our mini-vacation. We were looking for a place away from the hustle and bustle where we could just... More

We very much enjoyed our stay at the River Cove Cabins and hope to stay there again in the future. The cabin was great and Garry and Wanda even greater. Most reveiwers mention mention "Dixie" (the dog) ; but we were also visited by the guardian cat. He just came up and made himself at home on the porch, ate... More

We have stayed at River Cove Cabins many times. Gary and Wanda are wonderful people who work hard to keep everything very clean and welcoming. We do not feel like our year is complete without at least 3 or 4 visits to these little cabins. When we drive into the lane leading to the cabins, we always have an "arriving... More

I travel a lot for business and this has been the best business trip by far. It is so much better than staying in some cookie cutter hotel. When you pull onto the property you are greeted kindly by the owners Gary and Wanda and if you're lucky their dog Dixie. I was in town for three weeks for business... More

We were there for 3 nights. Built a campfire, played in the game room (ping pong, darts, foosball table and board games. Went motorcycle... More

My husband and I arrived with our small children for a nice family get-away. We were met by Wanda and Gary, who were the two most friendly, sweet people we've ever met! Right away, we were whisked away to a cozy country cabin overlooking the river. I must admit, I was nervous about how the kids would do in the... More

I will admit the value is good, grounds are OK, stream is not moving too much, quiet. Kitchenette was way too small to prepare/cook a meal, strong mildew odor in bath. Owner has nice dog that visits. No wi-fi, and is a 'dead zone' for ATT cell phone. Best thing was enormous water pressure in shower!
