This cabin was perfect! The location was great. It was very private and quiet but also very close to restaurants and shopping. We saw several deer on the property along with some birds and squirrels that enjoyed the feeder on the porch. Gorgeous morning and evening views from the porch. The bed was extremely comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked. We had an issue or two during our stay but Luke was quick to respond and resolve our issues promptly! We can not wait to return! We found a very special to visit while there. Fields of the Wood is a must see.

The cabin was easy to access and so relaxing. The cabin was well equipped with everything we needed and had no issues during our stay. We even made a squirrel friend who appreciated pistachios we left him. Highly recommend this cabin.

Enjoy beautiful sunset views from the porch at this charming, clean and comfortable cabin in Murphy. About 15 minutes to the John C Campbell Folk School, which was the main reason for our stay. Bed was comfortable, shower head A. Well-equipped kitchen, as well as supplies for laundry if needed. Throw blankets appreciated for cool evenings on the porch. Luke called back quickly when we arrived to answer questions about light switches and circuit breaker box (power had been off before we arrived as it turned out). So many cute bear decorations, although, alas, no bear spotted. Would definitely stay here again.

You will not find a more well stocked vacation rental. Whatever you can think of this cabin has. I have stayed at this cabin before and will return again. The views are amazing. The detail of the inside of the cabin is impeccable. So comfortable and cozy. Beautiful fireplace kept us very warm. This is the best cabin ever!! The host is very responsive and very helpful.

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful relaxing cabin! Communication with the owner was wonderful from the start. The well paved roads were a bit steep in some spots but still an easy drive in a standard SUV. We loved the cabin at first site. A large porch with rocking chairs for morning coffee with an amazing view of the mountains. We and our husky loved the one floor living space. Well appointed kitchen with everything you need, they thought of everything. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the living room is so cozy with the fireplace and views for miles. We have stayed in many cabins over the last 15 years and this cabin is definitely in the top 3.

The pictures do this property no justice. It is absolutely gorgeous! The views the cabin and the area. This was the best cabin I have ever rented and I have rented many. It was beyond fully stocked. I was very impressed by how well stocked this cabin was. It was beautifully decorated every little detail was absolutely gorgeous. The hosts were amazing. You have everything you need. Very spacious. Plenty of seating room inside and outside. Very comfortable beds. Very clean. I can't say enough good things about this cabin I will be back again!

Beautiful mountain cabin!

My husband and I, along with our little Maltese Buddy thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay. The cabin is so beautiful and had every amenity we could imagine. The bed was so comfy and the fireplace so warm We enjoyed having coffee on the porch, watching the deer each morning and evening. The host was so nice to call and check in. Would definitely recommend!
