We enjoyed our stay in this well built, very, very clean home. Relatively secluded and very quiet. Literally no noise at all. My wife spent a good deal of time on the porch and we both enjoyed seeing and feeding the humming birds. Murphy is a pleasant little town with beautiful scenery. We really enjoyed our visit! The hosts communicated in a very straight forward manner with every bit of information well laid out and easy to understand. We would stay with them again and simply cannot recommend this property enough. Very relaxing!

Melissa is a great host! I had no trouble reaching her with questions prior to our vacation. The cabin was clean from top to bottom. Since it rained the whole weekend, we used the living room fireplace often to bring some light and warmth into the room. Parking was not an issue. We had plenty of space for both our cars. The driveway is a bit tricky, because it's gravel and on an incline. Melissa suggests putting your car in 1st gear at the bottom of the drive, which I recommend also. Next, you'll want to maintain a good rate of speed up the ENTIRE driveway until you reach the grassy area. Thanks Melissa for sharing your wonderful cabin with us!

The fireplace is definitely a great way to make a rainy weekend feel warm and relaxing! I’m also happy to hear that communication and parking went smoothly. Thank you for mentioning the driveway and for sharing my tip with future guests. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re welcome back anytime!
