If you want a place away from people, social media and tech devices. This is the place. Not saying I didnā€™t have service with my Apple phone. But for me personally it was spotty. Now my husband had great service with his android. However I am not complaining it was great to be away from it. The house was great. The pictures never do a place justice. Enjoyed the back porch a lot on the cool mornings listening the creek behind the house. Unfortunately there were no trout. We learned that because of the heat the hatchery lost a great deal of fish and they were not able to stock. However we did great use of the creek with our puppers. They enjoy it a great deal. It was a little chilly for me. Definitely recommend this house.

This cabin is everything you could dream of. It is beautiful, spacious, comfortable, has everything you could possibly need for your stay. If you want to get away from everything and enjoy nature at it's finest then this is the place. Sitting out in the back listening to the rushing stream and the birds each morning melts all your troubles away. Sitting out by the fire at night, It is so peaceful. None of us wanted to leave. The host was beyond helpful as well. We also hope to explore more of the town on our next visit. Can't wait to come back!

About the host

Hosted by David Ross

Host profile image
We have retired to the mountains of North Carolina and, Trust Us, we only live in beautiful places. We live in this area and think we have found Paradise in our charming town of Murphy. We came to visit and vacation here and just had to stay. Our home is pet friendly for we have two golden retrievers (THE GOLDEN GIRLS) that are the loves of our lifes. I am sure if you travel with your pets, they are also your children. Our 5 grandchildren think this is the best place in the world and we agree. It is so centrally located and after 12 years we are still exploring and finding new adventures. My husband's advocation is photography and he has enjoyed photographing all the wonders of nature in the area. Some of his photos are in the home. He won lst place in the GA Mountain Fair several years ago and won 2nd place last year. The fair is in July and is an adventure not to be missed if you are here. Fun for the entire family in Hiawassee GA.

Why they chose this property

We came to visit here in 1997 and we fell in love. The next visit we found ourselves buying property and building a house here. What we love the most is the ever changing nature around us. We are always mesmerized by the sound of water and when we found this wonderful new home on a rushing creek we decided to buy it to share our piece of paradise in Murphy with others to enjoy. My husband said that the mountains are in my Scottish/Irish DNA and I would have to agree. As the saying goes 'You are nearer to GOD in the mountains than any other place on earth.'

What makes this property unique

The small town feeling where everybody waves and the deep history in this area is fascinating. The area where this home is located is where the last battle of the Civil War was fought on May 6th, 1865. This was an Indian Reservation and the Trail of Tears history can be found at our local museum. The folklore is long and interesting. All you have to do is ask and listen. A free performance every Friday night in the open air pavilion at John C Campbell folk school should not be missed. About a mile from the property is a monument to a Forge that was located here in 1839.
