We will be back

This was our second stay. And not our last. We saw a tom turkey puffed up and fanned out trying to impress the ladies. Very relaxing.

Peaceful

My husband and I really enjoyed the peacefulness of the cabin, we did see a turkey our first day there. We even went for a little stroll on Millie's Trail, then later we had some rain which was nice. Most definitely will visit again!

About the host

Hosted by Janice & Randy Costello

We came to Murphy in 1996 from Lake Mary, Florida, on vacation and fell in love with this mountain town and surrounding areas. We purchased a home while on vacation and 1 year later we decided to move here permanently. Our dream was to build a cabin on our property where others could come and enjoy the mountains.

What makes this property unique

The cabin is only 3.5 miles from town which is convenient for guests, however, the privacy and seclusion makes you feel like you are a million miles away.
