GREAT GET-AWAY!

My wife and I stayed for 3 nights to get away and celebrate her 40th Birthday. Some friends joined us for the first night. We had a great time at the Bunkhouse, enjoyed the fire-pit and the hot tub. Our hosts were outstanding and we look forward to seeing them again!

Amazing hosts Robert & Laura

We absolutely loved the cabin. It was very comfortable for 4 people. The hot tub was amazing. Fire pit and wood provided was also a huge plus. BBHC was a real treat. The hosts were beyond accommodating. We loved seeing being able to see the hosts and getting to know them. We will definitely return!

Beautiful clean cabin with unusual requirements

So let me start by saying this was the cleanest cabin we've ever stayed in. The owners have thought of everything you could need on your trip, such as shampoo, conditioner, k cups, etc. The location is great. It's just minutes from downtown. The owners live right next door in the big cabin mentioned in the listing. You have to meet them to check in, sign paperwork, etc just to get the key. We've never had to do this and weren't a fan on this intimate check in process. Upon booking, you are required to buy damage protection to stay here or pay a very high refundable deposit, which the owner has full discretion of keeping! We almost didn't book because of this, but we booked this trip last minute and it was the only nice one available. We also brought our 24 lb jack russell terrier mix that is 13 years old. Upon arrival we find we had to pay a refundable deposit, in addition to the damage protection, to have our dog here. The owner at check in said he must be crated whenever we weren't there, which was on the listing. She then said " WHEN I come in, if he isn't crated you'll lose your deposit. " Not IF she had to come in, but when. This creeped us out and we took our dog everywhere with us because of this statement. This felt like an invasion of privacy. Needless to say, despite the beautiful clean cabin and amenities we won't be staying here again. It's clear they've had issues with past renters, but your going to lose repeat and potential renters due to how bitter you've become. I strongly suggest you reconsider your approach to renters.

I apologize if you were taken aback by procedures but we are up front about everything and it was in the description of the cabin. If you had advised us you were bringing a pet at the time of booking we would have verbally gone over this procedure with you before you arrived and you would have had the opportunity to cancel if you didn't agree with it. When you arrived you also didn't have a crate with you which is a requirement per the listing. This is why you were advised that IF we checked on the cabin while you were gone and the dog was found uncrated while alone you would lose the security deposit. We also send an email to all of our guests going over house rules, you had another opportunity to discuss the dog policy but didn't take it. We have many guests who are repeat guests with multiple dogs and there has never been issue before with abiding by house rules or the pet policy. We take pride in our property, keeping our cabin clean, our guests comfortable and happy. Our listing and e-mail all advise everyone about check-in as well. Again we apologize that you were taken aback by our pet procedures and house rules but this could have all been avoided if you had communicated with us pre-stay and even during your stay.

Close to the town, but far enough out for quiet nights. Owner spot on in responding to questions. A wealth of local knowledge! We’ll see about returning soon!

Cozy bunkhouse getaway

Overall this stay was pleasant and cozy. Comfy bed and couch and decent kitchenette. Access to nice hot tub. Short distance from downtown Murphy and river walk, antiquing, Appalachian Driving Experience (rent a Porsche), and good food. Cabin was clean and well kept and owners kept good communication and restocked items regularly.
