About this property
Mountain Creek Retreat - 5 minutes from Downtown Murphy - Secluded
Stay in the Nantahala national forest as our cabin is a 5-star experience secluded with your own 2-acre park/campground where you can relax at a creekside picnic table or at the firepit. Peaceful with no nearby neighbors. As you sit on the front porch you will see deer, turkey, and all of the local wildlife. All of this privacy and only 5 minutes from downtown Murphy as well as the Harrah's Casino. You will have a paved circular driveway that will allow you to pull up to the front door and for motorcycles a garage to park in. The property is fully fenced if you are bringing your pet. We provide firewood for the fire pit.
Our cabin offers all of the modern conveniences (High-Speed Internet, Direct TV, and an outdoor grill) as well as a wood-burning fireplace in the main area. Our front outdoor porch is the perfect place for a barbeque and our outdoor deck offers prime wildlife viewing, a morning cup of coffee and a good book, or an evening glass of wine. Our full kitchen includes all modern appliances and fully stocked with everything needed for preparing meals. We have a queen master bedroom with an attached bathroom, a loft bedroom with two twins and a private bathroom, and a sleeper sofa in the living room.
Our guests all say we have a "GEM" and they will be back!
