we stayed here in the fall of 2005. We have wonderful memories from this house. I do recall though that we had a difficult time contacting the owner AFTER the rental, regarding return of security deposit, but we did get it back. Hoping to go back again someday.

>the listing was as described >the photos were accurate to reflect all amenities >the property was clean and maintained but dust clinging to fixtures over counter area in kitchen and all fans. (attention to details is needed) >The owner was somewhat helpful in answering questions in the begining but could not be contacted/or in contact with concerns after the stay >Would recommend this property but with cautions >would recommend water rafting >owner seems to be limited on time to deal with rental

My family and I just spent the week after Christmas in this fabulous cabin and can't wait to go back. With 6 adults, 4 children, and a large dog (95lbs) we are quite the crowd but this cabin had plenty of space for all of us. Everything that you could need was already there, even fun games and books for both adults and children. It's rare to find a place with a table large enough to have the whole family at a meal together but the very grand dining room here had room to spare. There were several upgrades to the interior of the house including a flatscreen tv and satellite tv so we were able to watch all of the football games over the holiday which was great! There was about 9 in of snow when we arrived and the property couldn't have been more beautiful - snow forts and snowmen armies abounded. The kids loved the rope swing and the adults enjoyed the porch swing and rocking chairs. While it says the property is 3 acres it feels like much more- there is a mix of open space/views and wooded area for exploring. The river/creek is absolutely amazing, crystal clear water and the at the property edge lead down to an enchanting and . By the end of the week the snow had melted and it was up in the 50's so we had a wonderful new year's eve bonfire down by the fire pit where we roasted marshmallows and hotdogs. We kept intending to go to old historic downtown Murphy to look around but we never made it because we kept finding so many fun things to do at the cabin. What a great way to ring in the new year! Thanks for a great stay!

What a beautiful cabin! Our family (10 people) rented the cabin and had a great time. We even got snow! The cabin has all the room we needed and met all of our expectations. The yard was great for the kids to run and play. Definitely worth the trip!

My family spent a lovely weekend at the mountain river cabin this spring. The location is perfect for a family traveling from Atlanta. You are away from the city, but the drive is manageable for young children. The cabin is well appointed and decorated, the view is calming, and the area is charming. We did a little sightseeing in the area, but the main attraction is the cabin and just getting away from it all. You have a great cabin and we will be back – our kids keep asking us when.Curtis & Natalie Kohlhaas
