This mountain cabin has everything you need for a vacation, retreat or just to kick back and relax. The house was beautiful and cozy. The views from the porches are spectacular. It is located close to town so plenty of shops and restaurants.From the planning to the check out, Eric and Zoe, the hosts, were always quick to answer any questions I had.

Cabin was cozy and about as we expected. It does have a tight turn around space, but can be managed. We loved the privacy and spent lots of time on the deck. Would stay again.

What a wonderful mountain getaway and secluded Murphy North Carolina

We had a wonderfully relaxing weekend with the dogs watching nature and the leaves change. We even took a hike to see the lake/ River located right off the property. It was a very rejuvenating stay and would absolutely stay there again!

Quick trip to Murphy

This was an amazing place to stay. Very clean, had everything you needed plus more. The Hosts were amazing and we will be returning when we just need to relax. Our dogs enjoyed lounging on the wrap-around patio and loved taking the short walk to the lake.
