The property was exactly as described. It was well equipped. In fact, it was the most equipped home I ever rented. Communication with the hose was excellent. Issues were taken care of quickly. If you want quiet in a quaint setting, this is the place to be. If you're senior you'll be happy to know the path down to the dock is easy as well as the trip back up. All in all this place was the best. Great for a single, a couple or a family of children. It's definitely off the beaten path.

We really enjoyed our stay. The only negative comment would relate to the one lane road. We enjoyed sitting on the screen porch overlooking the pond. The kitchen was stocked better than any other place we've stayed, and the bed was very comfortable. The host was very accommodating and easy to communicate with.We would stay here again.

Relaxing retreat

Lovely cabin. Well kept with a relaxing view of a pond. Will say that the drive thru the neighborhood is a bit stressful, as it is a one lane winding mountain road, but worth the drive.

Despite the rain

Property is as advertised. We had a wonderful stay despite 5 days of heavy rains. Convenient to town and the casino. Finally got to fish on sixth day but only had two bites but no catches. Would highly recommend this property for its quietness and view of pond. Will definitely stay here again.

Really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was clean and the beds were very comfortable. We got to do a lot of fishing on the pond and we caught a lot of fish using the paddle boat provided. Thanks for letting us stay we hope to come back again.

Relaxing & Fun Stay in Murray,NC

We really enjoyed our stay here. So much room for 5 people with spacious living areas and bedrooms. Great amenities like the kayaks and the screened in porch with a lovely view of the pond. Highly recommend this rental for cooking meals as the kitchen is super well stocked with anything you might need. The place was very clean and the host’s quick responses were appreciated.

Pond Getaway

Beautiful pond and outdoor area led to great fishing. We caught about 15 fish in one day between the two of us. The view from the porches is amazing and the outdoor bed is great for napping! The cabin is well laid out and very clean! Downtown Murphy is close by and the Casino is only about 10 minutes away. We enjoyed our stay and Kay was a great host.

Spectacular

We celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary and it was amazing with amazing lake views. The property had three beautifully decorated bedrooms, a dining room, and a fun-filled basement. We loved relaxing on the screened balcony and enjoying the beautiful view of the lake There was a large water raft with life jackets it was amazing I recommended one hundred percent we will be returning amazing words can not express 👍👍👍👍👍

It was a beautiful, spacious home that had such a family feel to it. I was worried my teenagers would be bored with my idea of a getaway. Not at all... they are already asking when we can go back. We look forward to next time. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Amazing

This property was better than advertized. Everything we needed was available. We have already rented for next May and may stay again before then. Had a little trouble getting the code to get in but after several phone calls got it. This code should be sent at least a day before arrival and not during your trip there. Minor inconvenience.
