About this property

Forest Therapy - Exactly What You're Looking For!

This log cabin home (over 1300 sq ft heated living space) is made for you to relax and rejuvenate. It's set amongst the trees with the birds, squirrels, and deer to entertain you. It has all the cozy features you would expect in a cabin and more. Sit out on the screened in porch any time of year with a comfy blanket wrapped around you and a steaming cup of coffee. At night enjoy the firepit and roast marshmallows. Adventures are just minutes away. Hiking, rafting, kayaking, mountain biking, fly fishing and more!

Lovely space for getting away to replenish and focus on self-care, family time, adventures in the local area, artists, holistic minded people and great for those wanting to get away to focus on a particular task, like writing a book or working on your business plan. There is a wood fireplace inside the cabin and a firepit with Adirondack chairs outside to enjoy at night roasting marshmallows perhaps :) There is a TV located in the room with the desk and futon. It has an Amazon Fire stick and a DVD player with a fun selection of DVDs to choose from.

Working? The bonus room is set up for an office too! Desk, chair, light and fast speed WIFI is available for your laptop, tablet and other devices provided by Murphy Cable Company. Cell phones work great too :)

Guests have full access to entire cabin, 2-car garage, screened-in porch, deck with grill and dining table with 4 chairs, and full yard with firepit and 4 Adirondack chairs.

Beautiful get a way close to town

This place is amazing, even though its close to town you felt like you were miles away from everything and it felt amazing. Everything that we could think we needed was there up to and including some great welcome treats that made you want to curl up with a good book and relax

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Gilman

Hey, it's Jennifer & Lenny here :) We are two entrepreneurs living life to it's fullest. I have a thriving Holistic Health Coaching business and Lenny has many ventures including SEO, website development, and real estate investment. I (Jennifer) had many years in the hospitality industry working for 4 star hotels so when Lenny and I started talking about vacation rentals...it really was a great fit with both of our backgrounds; real estate and hospitality. We started in 2020 and are absolutely loving it! We personally enjoy traveling globally and almost always stay in vacation rentals. We enjoy the diversity offered in each city/region we travel and enjoy getting to know our hosts along the way :) Since I'm typically the one interacting with our guests, I will share that I love hearing why you are here traveling to this area of North Carolina. It's also very exciting when our guests come back over and over again :)

We hope you enjoy your time at Forest Therapy and in the town of Murphy. It has quite a charm and is centrally located to many other mountain towns in just a 1-hour radius.

Advice while here? Just enjoy every moment!

Why they chose this property

When we stumbled upon this log cabin home, we just loved that it was located at the end of an easy, dirt road drive in. Not on a steep driveway but amongst the trees. Nature has a way of nurturing and having the cabin surrounded by trees was just wonderful. We loved the layout inside and the screened-in porch. We just knew this would be a favorite spot for our guests to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning. We felt the spot directly to the left of the cabin would be a great spot to add a firepit with Adirondack chairs. And the deck in back for enjoying a dinner on the grill. Having the 2-car garage was a perk too for our guests in the winter or a rainy day. So...we bought it!

What makes this property unique

Making this log cabin home into a relaxing retreat was such a fun project! We wanted it to be a place where our guests arrived and said, "ah...we are here...time to just relax!". We chose to create many seating areas inside and out, along with areas that you could enjoy dining inside and out. The other priority was making it a home that you could have a workcation. Many of us can work from anywhere, so why not a log cabin in the mountains right? We made sure that we could get high-speed internet. I don't know if you know this but in the mountains this is rare. We have great WIFI :) Having a solid door to the office was key as well so that other family members could enjoy the cabin inside and out. while the other may need to get some work done. Adding amenities like herbal tea, honey, cookies, aromatherapy with essential oils, personal care products and a fully stocked kitchen were easy to do since these are things we like when we travel too :) Making the beds super comfortable was high on the list, offering various types of pillow and one bed firmer than the other. Everyone has different types of beds and pillows they like so we tried to meet all needs here. We often get great comments on our beds and bedding :)The location is phenomenal! Just 10 minute drive from downtown Murphy and grocery stores. Also, super close to dozens of mountain towns and attractions.
