Charming cabin in the Smoky Mountains

We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin! The woodsy decor, the wonderful deck, the deer that came through the yard, the friendly neighborhood all contributed to a delightful stay. We are already planning a return visit!

Wonderful place

We had a great stay at Two Rivers. It was the perfect place to relax and retreat for our elopement. Great location to almost anywhere as we were able to take sightseeing drives daily. Quiet place for us to cozy up by the fire and have a nice New Year's meal. Definitely a place we will keep on our list for another getaway that will also accommodate our family of 4 easily.

Great cabin outfitted with everything

The cabin was exactly as described in the listing. Besides being exceptionally clean, it’s well stocked with linens and cookware. The cabin itself is in great shape and you can tell it’s well cared for. Our hostess/point of contact (Renata) was easy to reach, extremely accommodating, and a pleasure. We will certainly stay here again!

Cabin Getaway

My husband and I booked this as a last minute getaway for his birthday. The cabin was perfect for us. It was clean and cozy. We enjoyed exploring the surrounding area. Within minutes you can be in town for dining out or at the grocery store to pick up the essentials. We look forward to visiting again!

Smokey Hideaway didn't disappoint!

Stayed here to refresh and recharge and the Cabin met all of my expectations. The Cabin was Cozy and Clean, and the wood finish on everything definitely cemented the vibe. The bathroom is a little tight but suited me fine. Was a beautiful time to be there mid to late Oct. ...as the colors on the mountains were changing on a daily basis. Plenty of good Nature spots within an hour drive. Would definitely stay here again!

Couldn't ask fo more.

Great small cabin for family of four. Even weather didn't cooperate the best, we had a great time. All outdoors activities are conveniently located within one hr.drive. Love morning coffee drink at the porch and evening whiskey relaxing. Thank you.

Comfy cabin

The cabin was very comfy. We felt safe and we slept well. Perfect size for a family of 4. My first complaint was driving up to the cabin. The yard was so overgrown that I was embarrassed to show my family what I’d rented. On top of that, with so much grass in the fire pit, we were afraid to use it. The porch furniture also needed to be cleaned off. Finally, there was a nest-like pile of dirt or wood shaving behind the shelf next to the master bed, which I could to be disturbing. Besides all of this, the cabin was comfy and we enjoyed our stay.

Nice Cabin In Murphy

We rented this cabin for a weekend getaway trip. This cabin is new to Evolve I believe since it did not have any reviews yet. The cabin is located in a wooded area just a mile or so from the main highway. It is very centrally located and makes for an easy trip to anything in Murphy. The one lane driveway to this cabin is shared with several other cabins so you will need to be on the watch for other vehicles coming and going (you would need to pull over to pass or back down the road until you can pull over). The one lane drive was not steep but there was one area that was on a hill and was deeply rutted. We had an SUV so no problem but a car close to the ground might have issues. The cabin had a comfortable couch and loveseat to relax on and the layout was suitable for 2-4 people. There was no dishwasher so everything you used, you had to wash by hand. They did not provide dish soap so we had to pick that up (we left it for future visitors). The cabin was clean and the only thing we noticed that we did report upon arrival were a few scratches in the wood floor leading to the back deck area. Our contact person said they were aware of the scratches already and was working on having them fixed. Although I did not cook during our time there, the kitchen seemed well stocked with all the essentials. Mattresses are always personal preference but we felt it was very hard and the pillows were very very puffy. I ended up picking up a pillow for myself at the local Walmart to use during the visit. I would recommend the cabin for future visits. The only things that would have made it better would have been different pillows, a small dining table with regular chairs (the small wood bench table and stools was very uncomfortable) and more lighting. It was very dark in the cabin and another light would have been appreciated especially during the evenings.

Very nice cabin!

My husband and I enjoyed this cabin. It was very clean and well stocked. The private road to the cabin was a little hard to maneuver because of deep ruts, but the stay was very nice.
