Cottage on the River's Edge

06/02/2026

June 6 everything changes for those of you who love to fish!

The NCWRC will open 30 trout streams and two lakes classified as Delayed Harvest to trout harvest on June 6. They will remain open through Sept. 30.

On the first Saturday in June, anglers may begin harvesting trout from Delayed Harvest waters. From 6 a.m. until noon, fishing in those waters is limited to youth only. The age that qualifies as a youth is now under 16 years old. It changed from the previous age of under 18 during the 2025-2026 regulations cycle.

Dinner time for the deer. We always stop on the drive in to the cottage to see if the deer are feeding in the front of this property. And they gather like clockwork so we can sit and watch them enjoying the late evening and filling their bellies. The drive to the cottage is always incredibly special, you drive along the river and hear the sounds and smell the fresh air, and hopefully spot a few deer and other wildlife along the way, including turkeys, birds and rabbits and each time we wonder what we will see.

Dreaming of this special place that always filled us with wonder and serenity. It is the site of so many family gatherings that create memories and connection, laughter and joy, learning and sharing – the very fabric of life. We hope that you may come to enjoy this special cottage as the site of a getaway for your friends and family in the near future.

Another duck living its best life just outside the cottage. We never get tired of seeing ducks, swimming and feasting below the waterline, whether they are flying solo, swimming through the dappled sunshine in pairs, or at certain time of the year, with a string of ducklings. It’s powerfully healing to reconnect with nature, and there is nothing like a little wonder to make vacations memorable. Come and stay awhile!

We love Murphy. It’s always a great destination to explore and also for many of our functional needs.
