Nice place very quiet and at the very top of the hill. Makes for great views and a fun ride up and down. Close to town makes it easy to run out for dinner and still be able to find your way home. Excellent communication from Gary the owner. Would use again.

Clean rooms. Beautiful area. Beautiful views. Up above the clouds. Quite area with a little distant noise from miles away from loud vehicles. Open some windows and feel the cool breeze. A little steep getting up to but worth it to me. Overall we enjoyed our 3 nights stay but needed more to see everything on our list of beautiful areas around Murphy TN.

Stayed 2 nights in May 2026. Everything was super clean and the view from the deck was amazing since it was at the top of the ridge. The bed was comfortable. Easy check in and check out. We'd come back!

The view was beautiful off of the balcony. We loved sitting outside and it was very peaceful. The place was very nice, clean and we enjoyed our stay. Gary, was excellent at getting back with us whenever we had any questions. If you are looking for a peaceful place to stay, that is close to a variety of things to do and places to go, this is it!!!Gary and Pat, thank you for sharing your place with us. Ezelle and Vickie

This is an ideal spot for couples to enjoy each other. Beautiful guest home nestled at the very top of a mountain with a beautiful view. The owners were very accommodating and even left a sweet note with some candy. We will 1000% be returning for our anniversary next year. DISCLAIMER: you are at the very top of the mountain so be prepared to verse the terrain! Once you do it once, it’s much easier; but the first trip up was quite a ride! Thank you very much for having us!! We loved our time at your guest house and look forward to coming back next year!

The place was very tastefully and completely furnished. I suspect that Pat might have had a lot to do with that :) The drive to the property involved a lot of switchbacks but that is part of being on a mountain top in the applications. We were returning North from FL and that will be an annual stop. Love the area and the mountains. Gary was there to greet us and to say goodbye other wise we were on our own. Perfect place!
