It is a newer, comfortable, and clean cabin. Our family of four had plenty of space and enjoyed the fireplace in the living room at night. We visit family in the area often and would certainly rent this cabin again when we return.

From the Owner: "There are several mixing bowls of various sizes in the kitchen cabinets"
We enjoyed our stay. Home is like new, close to town and easy to get to local restaurants and grocery stores. Murphy has lots of sights to see within a 50 mile radius.
Enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place for couples including family as it has 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms.
Impressed with management company for quick answers by phone and email.
Our family had a wonderful time at Holly Hill. The house is so lovely and comfortable! It’s a great place to come back to after exploring the area, as well as a relaxing space to hang out together on a rainy afternoon. We enjoyed kayaking on Lake Chatuge, walking around Murphy and the Riverwalk area, chatting on the patio and stargazing around the fire pit.We prepared most of our meals here and were able to find everything we needed in the well-stocked kitchen. We were very pleasantly surprised to have 5G cell service and excellent water pressure in the showers. Other rentals we have stayed in the area had neither.We could not have been happier or more comfortable than we were here. Thank you for sharing your perfect retreat and allowing us to include our dog, Lucy, on our getaway.We hope to stay again soon. :)
We have rented a number of VRBOs and this was by far the nicest property we have ever rented. The home is beautiful inside! Truly felt like home the minute we walked inside. We were in town for a wedding, but if we are ever in the area again, we will definitely be looking to rent this one again.
We had a wonderful stay in your home, it is comfortable, clean and in a good location.
We enjoyed a glass of wine by the firepit while watching the stars and fireflies dancing in the trees. I love the large kitchen and the master shower was an added delight.

Nice place with nice amenities...
We recently rented this property for a guys dirt motorcycle trip to the Smoky's. The property was nice and clean and the owner was very helpful. The home was nicely stocked with everything you would need for a week long stay. It's close to town and local restaurants. You won't be disappointed with this rental.

Really Nice - Highly Recommended
This new home was roomy, nicely furnished, clean and very comfortable. The kitchen had essentials and was easy to cook in. The owners are attentive and very helpful. We had a date change that was taking a long time to process, but the owner made sure it would work out fine and kept us informed along the way. It’s located in a quiet neighborhood but close to downtown.
The house was beautiful. Communication with the property manager and the owner was fast. The house was spotless. Beds were very comfortable. Great, central location to downtown Murphy. Would recommend.
