About this property

Your Great Get Away!

The winding, tree-lined road takes you up Clover Lane to a well maintained vacation home with central heat/air and modern appliances. Park the car in the circular drive, put the groceries away, then enjoy the breezes from the elevated porch that wraps around the front or the back deck, as well as under the gazebo. Whether you come to escape the summer heat, marvel at the vivid colors of autumn, or just get away to relax, the slow pace and serene beauty of the Smokey Mountains calls.

From the open kitchen to the wide sweeping living room, cool mountain breezes blow through in the summer, and the fireplace can take the chill off autumn nights.

It’s just a short ride into town for groceries, restaurants, and antiques. The John C Campbell Folk School is about 10 minutes away. Day trips will take you to amazing waterfalls, white water rafting, horseback riding, and many other mountain get-a-ways.

Great Accommodations

We were visiting family nearby so the location for ideal. The home had everything we could need for our 8 day stay, including a fully stocked kitchen. It was also clean and comfortable. We saw many deer and wild turkeys on the property and in the neighborhood. So awesome. This was a wonderful retreat. We had one issue that was not in her control but Carol was super engaged until it was resolved. I would stay here again.

Great mountain house

My husband, son, and I stayed here with my parents while we visited family nearby. The house was perfect for us, had a kitchen with everything we needed to cook, and was in a beautiful setting. Saw many deer outside when we sat on the porch or took a walk. We would definitely stay here again!

We used used the cabin to explore the mountains hiking trails. Every night returning from our hikes we were greeted by deer. It was wonderful! The cabin had everything we needed for it to be a home away from home.

About the host

Hosted by Carol

Host profile image
I am a retired middle school teacher and college advisor. I spent a year as as an exchange teacher in Nagano, Japan, and have traveled to Australia and Scotland. My first cruise ever took me to Cuba. This was my parents' summer home and I love being here in the mountains. I know you will too!

Why they chose this property

My parents, Jim & Carmel Pierce, built this house as a summer retreat after they retired, and spent many summers here until their passing. When I acquired the house, I began updating and making it mine. Hence the name, Pierce-Huber House. I'm proud to share it with you...

What makes this property unique

Aside from the nostalgia, I love coming to this home in Murphy to enjoy the serenity and wonderful neighbors and friends. The quaintness of the small town is a welcome contrast to the big city that is my permanent residence, and the peaceful, easy pace in Murphy provides relaxation and friendly banter that comes from North Carolina hospitality. The deer and wild turkeys abound and, whether you want to fish, hike, boat, or enjoy the solitude, this is the place for you.
