Escape to the tranquility of this unique, two bedroom, two bath cabin on a large rushing trout stream (stocked by TVA)! (Sorry, no Smoking inside cabin.)
You can fish for trout, splash in the creek and pan for gold -- all in your own back yard! You will enjoy the sandy walkway along the creek and the shallow "beach" area where smaller ones can also enjoy the water. Laze away the hours in the hammock under the shade trees or spend time relaxing in the hot tub while enjoying the soothing sounds of the creek. Sit around a camp fire and roast marshmellows over the fire pit by the creek. Top off the day with a close-up view of the heavens (telescope on site). Enjoy a relaxing weekend getaway, a romantic retreat, or a fun-filled, action-packed vacation.
You will be just minutes away from the famous Tellico Mountains and close to both the Ocoee, the Nantahala and the Nottley Rivers and to several major lakes (Lake Chatuge, Lake Hiawasee, Lake Ocoee, Apalachia Lake, and Lake Santeetlah). You'll be able to enjoy Whitewater Rafting, Kayaking, Tubing, Boating, Hiking, several Zip Lines in the area, Horseback Riding, Golf, and World-Class Motorcycling. Be sure to visit the famous John C. Campbell Folk School (weekly events during the Summer), go Antique Shopping or take a trip on the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway. You'll be just 2 hours or less from Atlanta GA (world-famous Georgia Acquarium), Chattanooga TN, Knoxville TN, Franklin NC, Ashville NC (Biltmore Estate), Cherokee, NC, (Cherokee Indian Reservation, Museum, Shoping and Casinos), Gatlinburg TN and Pigeon Forge TN (home of Dollywood).
(Need a larger cabin or more than one cabin? Ask about our "sister cabin", available for special groups and family reunions.)
Our cabin is a great place for a Winter retreat. We get frequent snowfalls (2 to 3 inches) and roads to the cabin are well maintained during the winter months.
Now with Wi-Fi! Work while away or just keep in touch with others. Send those breath-taking photos to family and friends and let them know what they are missing.
Come relax and enjoy -- "you won't want to go home!"

Stress Relief!!

Thank you for a wonderful stay, eventhough it was cut short by hurricane Irene. The cabin was spotless and well maintained! My daughter made strawberry ice cream, delicious!! Tried my hand at panning for gold I did find a few flakes and placed them in a bottle. But by accident my wife threw it out, there goes my early retirement! Did some horseback riding in Andrews. Spent the day in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Awesome drive on the Tail of the Dragon (twice), my kind of workout! My wife enjoyed just sitting on the deck reading while I relaxed in hammock enjoying a cold one or two. We will definitely return.

A wonderful time for everyone! Thank you! Cabin is beautiful & the creek was a highlight. Amazing how such a small touch such as the bowl of snacks on teh table when we arrived can make you feel so welcome. The kids loved making s'mores over the fire pit! We definitely recommend the Shoaks Marina on Lake Hiawassee. We took out a pontoon boat for 4 hours. The owner told us how to get to a waterfall & it was spectacular! No one on the lake (it was Wednesday). We docked the boat by the waterfall and jumped in! Fantastic little swimming hole. Our favorite excursion by far. Did a little driving into Gatlinberg & Cades Cove, then Highlands & Cashiers another day for the waterfalls - love Dry Falls as always. Came out one morning & the car was dead. One of your neighbors across the meadow was so sweet. Dropped everything to come give us a jump-start. We made him some home made chocolate chip cookies before leaving on Saturday. We will miss having coffee sitting on the back porch looking and listening to the stream! The kids are so sad to go! Thank you for everything. Lots of memories forever.

What a wonderful place for family fun! The kids (ages 9 & 11) and the dogs absolutely loved being able to play outside with freedom they don't get in the city. We spent so much time in the "babbling brook" floating on tubes, wading & fishing. I loved sitting on the deck & enjoying the sights and sounds. It was a very stress free & relaxing week that flew by all too quickly! The cabin is so homey and comfortable and we loved all the special touches you have graced it with. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us.

Loved the cabin. My husband & I brought our Nephew & Niece, and our 4 year old great Nephew, and 7 year old great Niece with us. We had a wonderful time. The kids enjoyed the creek & the hot tub so much. They picked black berries next to the cabin. We saw 2 otters in the creek. You had everything we needed stocked in the cabin.Thank you for helping us make some wonderful memories.

My wife and I absolutely LOVED your cabin! The sound of the rolling creek was so soothing. We would often get into the hammock to read and would fall off to sleep. We can't wait to come back again. __________________ (from wife) Everything from the stream to the firepit to the decorations on the wall offer the perfect quaint escape from reality. Although we live in the mountains ourselves in VA we never fully get to experience them. This was our honeymoon/1 year anniversary trip and it was beyand expectation. We loved the fact that we really didn't have to worry about anything and everything we needed was just at our fingertips. It's so pet friendly and our 2 goofballs just had a blast. They loved playing with their toys on the deck and went nuts when the cows came up. Thank you for providing such an amazing place!

Wow, what a great weekend! My husband and I stayed here for three nights and it's such a great place to get away and unwind. The place is dog-friendly and the cabin is thoughtfully stocked with all the supplies you can think of. It was very clean and felt like a home away from home. The little town of Murphy is quaint and the locals are friendly. I went horseback riding at Horseshoe Creek Riding Stables in Andrews, which is about 20 minutes from Murphy east down the highway. There is a welcome center where you can stop and get a map with all the local info. We definitely want to return and since it's only 2 hours from Atlanta, a perfect drive. I highly recommend the stay.

We really enjoyed your cabin. We all enjoyed playing & panning for gold in the creek. The area is beautiful. Enjoyed the time at the Cherokee Museum exploring our Indian ancestry. Even though it rained the last 2 days it was still a relaxing place to be. We look forward to visiting again soon & staying in the cabin. Glad we were the first to use the firepit & we are sure many more will enjoy it too.

My husband Joey & I really enjoyed your cabin and appreciate you making it available. As you know, we brought our Harley & best we've figured, we put about 600 miles on it during this week. My husband brought me for my 40th b-day which was yesterday & it's been my best one yet. To others who stay, the rafting on Ocoee is the best! The zip line is great but if the water is low like it is now, don't waste time driving all the way to Pigeon Forge for the waterfall as we did because there won't be one. The Chopshop is the best restaurant we ate at but they were all good. We watched our beloved Saints win over the 49'ers at Chevelles' & had a great lunch there also. Took great pictures at Cherohala Skyway and Biltmore Estates which is great! Take care & thanks again!

Thank you for alllowing us the pleasure of escaping from our fast lives in Florida. We got to slow down and relax. We did a lot of exploring on our motorcycle. We did some river rafting & Zipline only to come back & retreat to the hammock. I read while my husband slept. But it was so nice to see him relax. Our last adventure was Deals Gap. We are not looking forward to leaving this awesome weather. We will be returning to heat & rain. We have to put up with that to be able to enjoy beaches & sand, but it's nice to go back in time & relax in the mountains. We definitely see another retreat in our future. Thanks!

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful cabin with our family. Sitting on the deck, listening to the creek, was a perfect way to spend the month of August, escaping the heat and humidity of FL. We loved all our drives around the area, exploring country roads, waterfalls, picnic sites and great restaurants. Jay enjoyed catching our trout dinner, Rita loved the rocking chair you brought for her, and I loved the cool breezes and creek. Thank you for all your caring touches which made this our home away from home. P.S. -- Early one morning I watched an otter swim and fish in the creek. I only saw him once, but keep your eyes open -- it was quite a treat!
