About this property

Mountain Top Cabin 5 minutes from the John C. Campbell Folk School

Welcome to Bearfoot Lodge! This is a brand new cabin finished October 2019 on top of a mountain ridge with amazing views just 5 minutes from the John C. Campbell Folk School, 15 minutes from town, and just a few miles from the Harrah's Casino in Murphy, NC! We are centrally located between Atlanta, Chattanooga, Gatlinburg and Asheville! Easy access to all of your destinations! From our cabin you can see NC, GA & TN! We are in a secure and safe gated community that can only be entered with a gate code, however; we do not have neighbors on top of each other which makes you feel secluded. In our subdivision there is a family of deer and turkey that live here. We also have a few black bears that travel our ridge! (No hunting is allowed in our subdivision!)
Our cabin is is a spacious 3 bedroom, 2 & 1/2 bath that is fully equipped. We have a king, a queen, a twin, a full, a futon and a couch bed that converts to a queen bed so we are able to sleep 11 people. If you have guests that don't want to share a bed we also have two queen and one twin air mattress for your use.
The bathrooms have hair dryers and curling irons as well as first aid kits. We have a fully stocked kitchen to help you to be able to cook even a holiday dinner with ease! We have a Ninja blender, cookie sheets, crock pot, an iron & ironing board, large roasting pans, pie pans, rice cooker, spring form pans, waffle maker and a coffee grinder. If you reserve enough ahead of time and there is something for the kitchen that you would love to have on your visit, please let us know and we will do what we can to make sure that you have any reasonable item before you arrive.
We have two decks that face the NC & TN mountain ranges. Out of the back of the home you have a beautiful view of the GA mountain ranges! The bottom deck has an over sized swing and our main deck has a swing, a bench, 4 rocking chairs and a gas grill that is hooked to a large propane tank so you don't have to worry about running out of gas during your cooking on the grill.
We have also added a gate to the entrance of the top deck so you don't have to worry about your four-legged family running off the deck without you noticing!
Each bedroom has a smart TV that has the ability to watch Netflix & Hulu during your stay.
The loft area has two extra large chairs and ottomans so you can relax and read while staring at a beautiful view. It also has a desk area and printer for those that need to bring work with them. Free Wi-Fi is also included!
There are also many card games and board games if you decide to stay in instead of exploring this amazing part of the country.
The living room has a large smart TV and a remote gas fireplace for those evenings you want to snuggle in front of a fire.
The pantry has a full size washer and dryer to be able to use during your stay at Bearfoot Lodge.
For the smaller kids we have coloring books, books to read and a few toys that they can occupy themselves with if they get bored. For the adults, we have a few books, puzzles and adult coloring books as well!
Most rooms also include battery operated candles so you can enjoy a romantic ambiance during your stay!
We do have a fire pit at the property so make sure to pick up some firewood at the local gas station or stores around town.

There is not a landline at the home but most cell phones work up on the mountain due to a cell tower being close by. (This is not guaranteed though!)
If you would like extra cleaning during your stay, please let us know during booking so we can contact our cleaners ahead of time to let them know you want cleaning during your stay.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We stayed at this cabin over Christmas and couldn’t have asked for a more perfect mountain getaway. The cabin was so cute—charming, cozy, and exactly what you picture when you think of a peaceful retreat. Everything was clean, well cared for, and thoughtfully set up to make it feel comfortable and welcoming.The location was quiet and serene, making it easy to truly unplug and enjoy the season. It was also very fairly priced for the quality and experience, especially during the holidays, which we really appreciated.This cabin made our Christmas extra special, and we would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cozy, affordable escape in the mountains!

Wonderful family vacation cabin!

We joined four of our adult children and two of their partners for a week of adventure and relaxation in the mountains. The cabin was a perfect fit for our enjoyment - especially the evening sunsets on the balcony. We loved the availability of cooking supplies and the laundry facilities. I just can't say enough good things about this cabin!

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin. It was very clean and felt luxurious, with plenty of beds and space for our group of eight. The upstairs bedrooms did get a little warm at night, but overall the comfort level was great. The location is absolutely beautiful, with stunning mountain views and peaceful surroundings. For convenience, there’s a Super Walmart about 25 minutes away, which made it easy to pick up anything we needed. I would definitely recommend this cabin for anyone looking for a relaxing mountain getaway.

Our Stay

We had a wonderful time at the cabin. Our other VRBO fell through while we were driving up and this cabin was available. I asked the host 3 hours before arriving if we could stay same day as well for the week that it was available. They were very quick to respond and allowed us to come same day. The views were beautiful and the cabin had everything you needed. We lost power due to a storm for a few hours during the week and the host was very good about communicating regarding the power which was returned quickly. I would 100 percent recommend this cabin and would love to come and stay again.

New Years 2023

Our family closed out 2022 and began 2023 during this trip. The house was beautiful with wonderful views. I enjoyed all the wildlife mounts around the cabin and the live deer and turkey in the back yard almost daily. The house was well equipped with everything needed in the kitchen. Plenty of bathrooms for after those big meals. I would totally rent this cabin out again. My mother inlaw was scared of the narrow one lane road that leads up to the cabin. I had to ensure her of my quality driving skills. This was a wonderful trip. Sawmill was a great breakfast spot for us several mornings. We even picked up a steak at the Angus farm down the road a bit pricey but delicious.

Relaxing and Refreshing Stay

We came for a wedding in a near by town. The scenery was beautiful! It was cloudy so we didn't get a good sunrise but the day time view was stunning. Very clean, comfortable, beautiful property and neighborhood. It has everything you would need for your stay is there except the food. Grocery store near by. The drive up might be the longest ten minutes ever but also very interesting. Cool stuff on the way. Lots of small winding roads but not bad. My brothers small hybrid made it, no problems. Lot of beautiful deer. Watch out for dolly the doe, her friends, and tom turkey. Plenty of beautiful birds singing without the humming or noise of city life. Walk around the block was great too. Thank for a wonderful stay. We would love to come back in the future.

Literally the BEST!!!

If you are scrolling through these reviews and trying to decide if you should book or not, do yourself a favor and just click the book it button…. You absolutely will not regret it. I graduated from Young Harris College back in 2014 and have been traveling to the area since. This is by far the best cabin we have stayed at (and we have stayed at well over 20 throughout the years). The cabin is immaculate and precisely described. The pictures do the view no justice what so ever. The owners skimped on no details as all the decorations, furniture even down to the plates/cups/bowls etc are fit to theme. The cabin is very well stocked with most of what you would need. Some of our favorite things to do in the area when we are not out on the deck viewing all the wildlife and amazing views are: - Bell Mountain (if you have never been, it’s very worth it!) - Helton Creek Falls - Helen - Brasstown Bald - downtown Blairsville for Cabin Coffee & Hole In The Wall The drive up can be a bit daunting if you are not used to mountain roads but rest assured it is so worth it!!! We already cannot wait to book our next trip.

Cozy with Swoon-Worthy Views!

The cabin was clean and well-stocked with everything you'd need. The views were unbelievable - wish it had been warmer so we could have enjoyed the cute chairs and porch swing outside! The netflix and hulu subscriptions were enjoyed by all. It was nice to have the grill and dog gate on the porch. I loved the lantern chandelier and the copper sink in the kitchen! My favorite area was the two cozy reading chairs in the loft. Heaven! There were only a few drawbacks. One, the locks/handles on the doors were cute novelty latches, but were extremely loud and difficult to open. A few times my kids got stuck in the rooms until we figured out the trick to opening the doors (some you have to push the door and the latch at the same time in order to get out). While it wasn't a huge deal, it struck me as a fire hazard and just annoying in general. Two, the mattresses in the two upstairs rooms were extremely uncomfortable and squeaky. Nicer mattresses would have really been appreciated! (My brother and his wife who slept in the king bed said their mattress was very comfortable!) Overall we had a fantastic time and enjoyed ringing in the New Year at Bearfoot Lodge!

This cabin was marvelous. Great location and exquisite view! We saw both beautiful sunsets and sunrises every day. The accommodations were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. Info about surrounding activities and restaurants were great as was the welcoming book. We were there to take classes at the John C. Campbell school and the proximity was terrific for us. We would definitely stay here again.

Unbelievable views !!!

The Cabin is beautiful and clean. The views are amazing . You are literally above the clouds . The road up to the cabin is the only thing I didn't like, it's a one lane road and scary. Well for me anyway. lol If you want to be above the clouds, and see as far as the eye will let you then this is the cabin you want. Lots of deer also. Two walked right by the house our first morning there.

About the host

Hosted by Kimberly Moulton

Host profile image
It all started about ten years ago when the owners were married. Broke and in debt, they got a steal on a cabin rental in Murphy from a friend. As the were out to breakfast one morning, he was looking through the real estate magazines and she asked what he was doing. His response was that one day they would own a house in the mountains….. she giggled…. And 10 years later here they are!
There is also a story behind the name of our home in the mountains. The two own a little ranch in Florida where they raised, and their five kids showed, show cattle. One evening at dusk she went for a walk down the dirt road they live on and heard a bear in the woods. She called him and asked, “What do I do?”, to which he promptly replied, “Get home!” He went the next morning to look for tracks, and there they were in the dirt on the side of the road! There was a black bear for a short time wandering around our town and she had finally made it out to the country they live, yes, we do have black bears in south Florida! Thus, Bearfoot Ranch was born!
Fast forward a few years and here they are, sharing their home with you! This home was a dream, long in the waiting, but soon enough became real. The home was completed in October of 2019, and they were ecstatic to see it finished. When they saw the finished product, it was all they had imagined. He is a builder and is always designing everything; she all but demanded to design this one, and he gladly obliged. I hope you are as pleased with it as they are.

Why they chose this property

On our first visit to the area looking for property we fell in love with the views that Brasstown Heights offered. After looking for months at numerous properties in the area we were drawn back to this mountain time and time again. Because the views are absolutely amazing here, we decided to build instead of buy a current home since one was not available at that time on this mountain.

What makes this property unique

Relaxation and tranquility!
