Quaint and cozy
The cabin is quaint, very clean and nicely decorated. The outside pics didn’t quite match up with what was there. Need to be updated. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and it’s location to Murphy and would come back again.

Adorable cabin close to THE BEST FISHING POND
My boyfriend, dog and I needed a place to get away for a few days while painters were at the house and I'm happy to say we found a wonderful spot in Murphy. The cabin was very clean with a well stocked kitchen with an ample supply of paper towels, toilet paper, etc. It was hot but the AC worked great and we spent a lot of time on the deck when the sun when down. Even better than the pictures. The pond around the corner from the house offered some great catch and release fishing. As soon as you put your line in, you would reel one in and we are not great fisher people! Only two thing to note - the bedroom pillows are VERY fluffy so if you need a flatter one keep that in mind and the upstairs loft bedroom has a window with no blinds so the morning sun comes pouring in. The only downside is it isn't closer to where we live. Great communication with owners!

Perfect Birthday Getaway
We loved the cozy cabin. Very relaxing and super cute! We loved it so much we decided to stay in and cook Saturday evening. Everything we needed to cook with was there. Bed was comfy and the little waterfall made sitting on the deck a bonus. We will definitely be back soon. We left a little butterfly on the tree.

WAS A GREAT VACATION
THE DECK HAD SOME NAIL HEADS THAT ARE STICKING UP. THE OUTLET'S IN LIVING ROOM AND BEDROOM PULGS WILL NOT STAY IN, AND THE LIVING ROOM OUTLET GET HOT WHEN THE HEATER IS ON. (could be fire hazard) THE COUCH WAS UP AGAINST THE WALL BLOCKING THE RETURN AIR VENT FOR AC, THE KICTEN FLOOR HAS A CHUNK OF WOOD MISSING FROM THE FLOOR AND LUCKLY I HAD ON SOCKS, BUT IT DID CATCH THE SOCK AND RIPPED IT. MIGHT WANT TO FILL THAT IN WITH SOMTHING. ANTS ALL OVER THE KITCHEN. LOOKED UNDER THE BED AND THAT HAD NOT BEEN VACUUMED IN AWHILE. OVER ALL IT WAS GREAT TIME AND A GREAT CABIN, WOULD STAY THERE AGAIN.

Great spot for a quiet weekend
Loved the cabin, the neighborhood is super quiet, has a lovely stream flowing through and a deck area for you to enjoy. The only thing that def needs changing is the mattress. It needs to be replaced. Not comfortable and the egg carton foam topper just makes it more squishy and sunken. If the bed was replaced I would def stay again. Everything else was perfect 😍
