Great well stocked and decorated cabin.

Great location for us. Close to everything we needed, easily accessible, large enough driveway to turn around and the cabin had amazing views. Responsive owner, and a great time overall.

We have stayed here several times over the years, and are always appreciative of the whole experience. The cabin is always clean and well stocked, better than any other place that we have stayed. The owners, Luis and Jackie, have been wonderful through the years.

This rental has everything: spectacular views, a fully stocked kitchen, plenty of room, nice decor...etc. It was incredibly clean inside and out. The owners have thought of every last detail to make our stay an enjoyable one. I would come again.

Beautiful cabin, quiet and peaceful!

We stayed at this cabin within a week of Hurricane Helene hitting western NC. It was a perfect location for us to travel to the hard hit areas to help serve the people there. We were also able to take a couple of hikes near the cabin. It was all amazing, and we would consider staying here again in the future. The cabin was fully stocked with everything we needed, including some supplies for our pets. You really can’t get anymore serene and peaceful than this location. It was truly amazing!

Nice stay in the Mountains

The view from the cabin is spectacular! Many small things were provided that made it feel more like being at home. There is some traffic noise when outside but I didn't hear any while in the cabin. Communication with the owner was easy. Interior of the cabin is very nice, just as in the pictures. It rained one day while we were there and the wooden steps going to the entry were a little slippery. I would recommend staying there if you are planning a trip to the Murphy NC area.

Great Value in Murphy!

We stayed here with family and had a great time. Property was clean and had ample space for everyone. 5/5 we would 100% stay here again. Great location, everything was only 10-15 minutes away(which is great for this area!!) beautiful sunsets every night and property was pet friendly and had dog bowls for our fur baby. My only suggestion to the host would be to add a couple stainless steel pans in addition to the nonstick pans. Some of us are weirdos about Teflon haha.

Short Stay

We loved this cabin! Not too far from town and very peaceful. The only issues we had was that the cleaning service had not done a good job and the game machine did not work. Tried calling property manager but did not answer his phone. Otherwise, I would definitely stay again.

Beautifully decorated & Room for everyone!

We loved this cabin! Everything was just as pictured and even more beautiful in reality! Cozy and wonderfully decorated for Christmas! Very well stocked and room for everyone to have privacy yet come together for family devotions and quality time! Highly recommend! - One request would be a tea kettle for those that don’t drink coffee 🤣 Overall, outstanding!!

Perfect!

We travel to the Blairsville and Murphy area often and this was our favorite cabin by far! Plenty of room for the two of us as well as a family of 8. We were extremely comfortable in front of the fire while looking out at the mountains. Great location as well. We will definitely be back!

This is our second time here this year and absolutely loved it again.

Luis and Jackie are great hosts, their property is well maintained. very well supplied and clean. Large enough that we are inviting family members to stay with us in the future. Absolutely love the view, incredible sunsets every night and my wife and I like hanging out on the glider in the am, just talk and have coffee.

We loved the cabin! (But arrive in daylight!)

We stayed in the cabin for almost 3 weeks, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The cabin was well-stocked, and the owners were very generous by way of condiments, kitchen basics, etc. There's not a lot to do or see in Murphy itself, but the placement of the cabin put us in a great position to make day trips to desirable locations in all directions. The only less-than-positive comments we have are about the specific details of the location. We arrived at night (in the rain), and it was not easy to find under those conditions! You'll definitely want to arrive in the daylight. Also, the roads in the neighborhood are, at places, very rough and in need of repair. Still, all things considered, if we go back to Murphy, we'll definitely stay in this cabin.

Great spot to cool off in the summer.

My wife and I recently vacationed at this cabin was amazed at all it had to offer. Much more spacious than I thought. The master bedroom in the loft was very nice. We had a very relaxing stay and escaping the heat from where we live. Great location and very close to downtown Murphy. I highly recommend this cabin for a several day vacation stay!

5 X 2 = A perfect 10 !!!

What a wonderful place for some excellent R&R. Exceptional is the perfect word in describing this property. So much room and nicely decorated. Very clean and comfortable beds for sure! Enjoyed the privacy, outdoor grilling, firepit, birds singing with my coffee on the decks in the morning. Deciding which level to be on was my only "problem" because it was all so great. Thank you!

Beautiful view, plenty of space & comfy beds

Everything was beautiful. Beds were comfortable & the view can’t be beat! If you have littles you’ll love the baby gates to keep them off the stairs! No trash storage/pickup so do plan time to run it to the waste site. The sunset here was unbeatable and the kids loved watching fireflies :)

Great cabin and location

This is the cleanest and best stocked cabin we’ve ever rented and we come often. The owner communication was top notch. The two newer wrap around decks have plenty of seating and there are two grills and even a picnic area outside. Bed was comfortable. The entire downstairs is renovated and would be perfect for two families traveling together for privacy. Neighboring towns and points of interest are within easy traveling distance. . Easy access as cabin is near the main Hwy. These owners have thought of everything to make the stay enjoyable.
