This was a fantastic stay! The host, Jeannine, was very communicative and did so in a very timely fashion. Check-in was super easy, checkout was a breeze, and the cabin was described accurately. The property is wonderful - very quiet, on a beautiful piece of land, and close to downtown Murphy and other great spots like The Crown, the casino, and the John C Campbell Folk School. The cabin itself is very nicely appointed and is super cozy. The gas fireplace that turns on with the touch of a button is an especially nice touch.

Such a nice cabin stay, fully stocked with kitchen & bathroom essentials and well maintained. The cabin looks as described. The lake is beautiful and stocked with fish (if you enjoy fishing). The property has horse shoe & firepit for family enjoyment. We loved the scenery of the mountains & beautiful trees. The owners are very nice and accommodating.

A beautiful idyllic cabin in a spectacular location. We had a wonderful couple of days and really couldn’t be more enthusiastic in recommending Mountain Laurel Cabin. The cabin was immaculate and extremely comfortable. I hope we have the opportunity to return.

Cabin was clean and well equipped. Unfortunately we did not get to enjoy the fire pit due to a burn ban in the area. The pond was a lot of fun.
