We had a wonderful stay while visiting Murphy for the first time. The house felt quiet and secluded but it was only minutes away from shops and restaurants in downtown Murphy. I highly recommend this home.

We spent the week of Christmas 2025 in this beautiful home, and this place was absolutely perfect. It was much larger than we expected, with plenty of space to spread out. The beds were comfortable, the place was very clean, and the owners were very communicative from day one to make sure everything was good.It had everything we needed, and the location couldn’t have been better—close to town and all that Murphy has to offer. We definitely hope to stay again when we return the area, which we do very often.

The house is perfectly cozy and spacious. We were able to enjoy every inch of the property, from the large eat in deck with grill to the quiet front porch area where we watched the deer come out to graze. Kitchen is well appointed and full of all we needed to make meals. It was a wonderful stay and we’d recommend it highly to anyone looking to feel that country vibe without being too far from town.

Quick trip to the Mountains

We really enjoyed our short stay. Found the house in a great location, well equipped and very spacious. David was very attentive to us while we didn’t have any issues, we did have the peace of mind knowing that if we needed anything then he would be there. Would love to rent again in the future.
