Other things to note Less than one hour to the Nantahala Outdoor, Brasstown Bald, casino, Bryson City, and Lk Chatuge, it's located just far enough up a paved road to escape stresses and welcome sunsets. As in most mountainous areas, bear sightings are the norm and garbage is not allowed outside or on the porch. Weekly visitors may leave household garbage in the locked tool building and guests staying longer should use the county waste station as there is no county curbside pickup. There are three steps from the parking area to the main porch with one handrail, and on the main floor, there is a narrow, short passage way by the laundry area before entering the bathroom, through which only a narrower walker can pass. SHOP & SIP in Murphy: Second Saturday monthly, 2-5pm: Retailers will be providing refreshments, special sales, raffles, and fun.Come support the small, locally-owned retailers of Downtown Murphy. SPRING FESTIVAL, Murphy: Each spring ART WALK, first Friday from May - December in Murphy with free music, food vendors. Further ahead: MURPHY has downtown streetfront Halloween fun for kids and Christmas tree lighting and parade in December. MOUNTAIN DRIVE ACCESS: ACCESS ROAD: As with most mountainside homes enjoying a great view, there is a winding road for 1 mile up the mountain. It is PAVED with one "switchback" turn which does not require backing if you swing wide, even when pulling a small trailer. There is also a secondary 'backside' alternate route if you prefer rock gravel roads and concrete mixture--either one gets you there in a 2 wheel drive car unless rare ice days! But if you want a high view withOUT a mountainside road, we wish you the best and suggest looking at other locations. And, don't drive in Ireland or the UK countryside :-) ALLERGIES: Firm policy against pets, smoking/vaping, scented plug-ins, etc. due to owners and guests with allergies.

About the host
Hosted by Frank Clegg
Our family traveled from Fla. to the north Georgia / North Carolina area for many summers before finding a great house in Hayesville around 2020. We grew to love the area and found this newer Murphy home in 2023, between Hayesville and Murphy , with an even better view after many months of searching. It is extremely difficult to find this type of view on a paved road, with decent internet, not too far from restaurants and groceries so we felt very blessed and our 97 year old patriarch loves to visit his mountain getaway! The rest of the time, we enjoy sharing the house because it is too nice to waste and it helps pay for improvements.
Why they chose this property
This is a quiet residential neighborhood with few renters -- most folks come here as a peaceful escape and we need our guests to help keep it that way! The view is terrific but we are minutes away from big box stores, trails, restaurants, casino/bowling, waterfalls, etc. The best of all worlds.
What makes this property unique
The name says alot--we overlook a valley with distant mountain ridges staging glorious sunsets and the view isn't dependent upon the season or a narrow gap in trees, like some sites. The two wraparound decks both provide views with drink/food tables for sunset breaks from the rest of the world, or for morning coffee. Each floor provides its own advantages.
