Our favorite place to stay when we visit Murphy, NC! Bob always takes excellent care of us, making sure the house is perfect! We were here over Christmas, and the house was beautifully decorated and added to our Christmas spirit!
This was our 2nd time here. Sitting on the back porch in the morning with coffee is wonderful. House has everything you need. Host is always prompt to respond. We came hoping to catch a few trout but didn't have any luck. The weather wasnt the best this time. The river gets up pretty high in the evening. The only cons were grass and weeds needed to be cut and spider webs knocked down around back porches.
Was absolutely perfect. The house had everything and more to make our stay like a home away from home. We went to fish along the River as we are new to fly fishing. It was the perfect environment to practice as the River was about 2-4 ft deep and easy to navigate with waders. The River is wide enough for begginers. We caught several fish just outside the cabin and several more wading the River. Bob was a great host and responded immediately for the few questions I had. We can’t wait to come back
This is one of our favorite places to stay when we vacation! The house & location are perfect. Close enough to shops, restaurants & things to do but secluded & quiet enough to get away from everything and unwind by the river. We didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to get back!
The place was absolutely great. The bedrooms were comfortable, the kitchen made it super easy for all of us to hang out and prepare dinner. The patio was super relaxing and having the river right in the back yard was beautiful. We will definitely be coming back with friends, family, and just as a couple to enjoy this beautiful place.
Murphy holds a special place in mine and my sisters' hearts...this is our mother's birthplace and where we spent decades of summer vacations. This was our 3rd fall at this property...very clean and well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Sitting by the river affords much peace and reflection. Highly recommend this property; good Lord willing, hope to return next year🙏
The cabin was spacious and spotless. The location was perfect. The only downside was having to leave and come home.
I would like to stay here again next year but longer.
Second year in a row in this rental. Enjoyed our stay and just love sitting out next to the river and relaxing. Murphy N C is an awesome town with everything you may need.
We really had a wonderful visit - hated to leave. We appreciate the owners sharing their residence with us. Not one thing was overlooked. They had every possible item to make your visit a memorable one. So comfortable and relaxing. Hopefully we’ll get back! Wonderful vacation!
Very well stocked, comfortable, clean property with modern technology. An abundance of cut wood for evening bonfires. Melodic river enhanced with daily release of dam water each pm. Local Murphy with increasing entertainment and dining.
This is a cozy property that I would highly recommend for families wanting a mountain vacation. We had a group of 4, with the cabin would comfortably sleep 6. It was wonderful to have a fire and sit on the swing while listening to the creek. Also, this is the first rental we've had where the kitchen was stocked above and beyond anything you would need to cook a meal. Also nice gas and wood fireplaces. That's great! Clean and cozy, would return!
My niece picked the Hackney Warehouse in Murphy as her wedding venue. We had over 100 people coming, booking cabins all over Murphy. I stayed here before and totally enjoyed the river and surrounding area. When I saw that it was available, I picked it up quickly. The house is furnished extremely well, is very relaxing, close to town, and great for winding down in the evenings.
My husband, adult daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful house. So did our dog, Kelbi! Everything is as stated, if not better. Cozy house leaves nothing to be desired. Wonderful beds, tvs, cookware, fire pits and fishing right in the back yard. It truly has all the comforts of home and then some. Murphy is a cute town and we were close enough to drive to the Bavarian themed town of Helen, Ga. We hope to return in the summer. Thanks, Bob, for everything!
Pictures are accurate… but do not provide all the information necessary to fully evaluate this vacation home. So let’s begin:
- location is perfect for trout fishing and amateur fly fishing. I have always liked the idea of waking up with a good cup of coffee and casting from the deck. You can do that here. There are a couple of holes within easy reach with waders. Of course, experienced fly fishers have the entire area to explore. Fish everywhere.
- every aspect of this home demonstrates the clear attention to detail and quality craftsmanship throughout. We felt like packing everything up and taking it home lol. A LOT of love went into this property.
- the owner is responsive and attentive.
- Top 5 things that caught our attention:
1. Master bathroom is the best I have ever seen. Like showering in a rain forrest. The mirrors are heated. Wow.
2. The great room provides easy access to the entire home, and there are ample places for privacy and relaxation throughout.
3. The three decks are divided… one for BBQ (three pitmaster quality grills), a superb screened in porch, and a deck for the master suite.
4. The kitchen is well appointed with everything that is needed to cook at a gourmet level. The coffee bar is supports your favorite percolated coffee or Keurig.
5. We did not see or hear another human being. But we did see fox, many deer, unbelievable bird life, and the fish we caught lol.
Only minor issue: narrow gravel roads to get there.
This is our 2nd visit and we will be back. It's relaxing, peaceful, plenty to do or just do nothing. Amenities are as listed. They have thought of everything.
Close to town or casino but cabin has everything you need to relax and enjoy family. Enjoyed relaxing and setting on screened in porch looking at the river.
We always love this cabin and the river! It’s the best! We owed a place off Loving Rd and sold it 2 years ago. We miss it but this cabin makes up feel like we still have our place. Thank you we will be back in a few months.
We had a wonderful time!!! The cabin has everything and more of what you would need. Bob was a great host in everyway. We loved the kitchen! There was enough room for lots of cooks LOL. The patios where so enjoyable spent a lot of time there. The river is fantastic!! My husband loved the Blackstone! All outdoor cooking equipment was in perfect condition and had propane, which is hard to find in a rental. We always cook our own meals and it was super to have dinner by the river. We really enjoyed the family pictures in the hall and all the fun they have there. All beds were very comfy which is a major thing for us. All I can say its a great place! Thank you Jan and Karl
Wonderful, we had such an awesome time. The weather was kind of cool but that didn’t stop us. The ho
