Why the Owner Chose Murphy
We fell in love with the Murphy area when we took our family whitewater rafting years earlier. When we had the opportunity to purchase Good Times,we all were so excited. We built our cabin for families to gather, relax, and enjoy the majestic Smoky Mountains.
The Unique Benefits at this Cedar Chalet
There are so many gorgeous areas to discover all year. If you want to venture out, you have so many venues to see. The rivers are all around. Lakes abound for water activities. We love the fact that you have grocery stores, restaurants, golf or whatever you need within minutes, yet you feel very secluded. We like to think of Good Times as our own little sanctuary. Many have said they had plans to see this or that, yet they never left the house!
1960 Ranger Road, Murphy, NC 28906 between Mile Marker 13 & 14 of Hwy 64/74 From Ranger Rd., drive about 2 miles. Good Times entry is on right. Come and enjoy!!!!

Again, this was written in the guestbook at the cabin. We all had a great time at GOOD TIMES! It is the nicest cabin we've rented. You have everything, including the beautiful view. The location was so convenient to fun activites, groceries and restaurants. Like your other comments in your guestbook said, we will be back!

This was written in our guestbook at Good Times. Thanks for the opportunity to stay at your cabin. The cabin and location are both spectacular. We went horseback riding and whitewater rafting. Both experiences were wonderful, but I think I liked coming back to the cabin the best.

This was the first Christmas Holiday Good Times was available. The comments have been so kind. We try to get our family together before Christmas to share some of the holiday. Your home was so beautifully decorated that we all felt right at home. We will definitely come back. There was plenty of space for everyone and your home is so well equipped from the kitchen to books and games. Murphy is a wonderful place for a family reunion.
