Awesome

This cabin was a great place to get away and wind down from Christmas, it’s located close enough to town but far enough away to be quite, The cabin is decorated very nice and it has everything anyone would need to prepare their own meals, the view was also great, we saw some local wildlife, deer and a raccoon. The Ingles grocery in Murphy is also great, we will be returning for another trip

What a lovely cabin!

What a lovely cabin! We had a great time and were able to see some of the local sites and explore Nantahala. The cabin was immaculately cleaned and the decor really makes you feel like you are immersed into a different world. Stocked up with everything you could and need and more. I wish we could have stayed longer, the master bed was so comfortable. The pictures don’t do the cabin justice. Our expectations were definitely exceeded and we hope to be back soon.

Anniversary Trip

We stayed for our 7 year anniversary and to get away from our 5 teenage kids. It was fantastic. Quiet and private. The only thing we didn't like was the trash situation. We didn't realize until the night before we left that we had to take the trash into town( during certain hours) and we didn't make it there in time so we had to leave our bag of trash there at the house😞. I felt so bad so I left cash on the table as a sorry for the trouble and inconvenience. I guess we were living in our own world and just didn't see the sign on the fridge to tell us what to do.😅 Also I would have loved to write in the notebook but couldn't find a pen at all, not even in my car😳. There is a taco truck down the road that is amazing! Overall, I loved this cabin and everything in it. Would love to book again in the future!

Quiet and Peaceful Cabin

We enjoyed our stay at this cabin. The kitchen was well equipped with everything needed to prepare our own meals. The screened in porch was nice and had a gas grill that came in handy. With the COVID situation, we fixed all of our own meals during our stay. There is a very nice Ingles grocery store on the east end of town. The living room and bedroom were comfortable. There was a nice supply of towels and washcloths in the bathrooms. There was DISH, but the channel selections are very limited. If you are looking forward to watching your favorite HGTV or History Channel shows, these channel selections were not available. This is just a personal preference on our part. We brought some DVDs to watch, but the only DVD player was in the twin bedroom. Not a big deal and we should have inquired ahead of time. The WiFi was reliable. Like others, we had a little issue logging on, but once we located the correct password on the refrigerator, all was good. We did not have cell phone service, but we expected that. The location of the cabin is central to anything you want to do in the area. It was very easy to find in the daylight, but may have been a little challenging if we had arrived in the dark. Overall, the cleanliness of the cabin was fine. The setting was peaceful and quiet. We would recommend this cabin to anyone.

Cute clean cabin

We enjoyed our stay in this cozy, comfy cabin. It had everything we needed and the bed was so comfortable. We enjoyed the screened porch and the cozy fire. We were only at the cabin late at night and early morning as we stayed out sight seeing, but it was so perfect for us. We felt right at home and appreciated how clean it was and how easy to reach. We always look for king beds on one floor with no pets and no smoking, and in safe areas. This cabin was perfect. Thank you so much for all the care and thought you put into the place. We truly enjoyed it.

Birthday weekend!

This cabin was so wonderful… nice and cozy and loved the location. We saw several wild turkeys, birds, deer and the crazy crows. Definitely felt like home away from home. The cabin was fully stocked and ready, my favorite was the screened in porch… so relaxing! Great place to spend my birthday weekend. Thanks for sharing your little piece of heaven with us.

Awesome Cabin!

We absolutely loved the cabin! My husband and I have rented from VRBO for years and this was one of our favorite properties. We had my elderly mother with us and it was perfect for her with no stairs. The cabin was extremely clean with comfortable beds and well stocked kitchen. We loved the screened in porch and the peace and quiet! Would definitely like to return in the future.
