About this property

July is hot but the mountains are cool! Beat the heat in this pet friendly cabin

This pristine little cabin can be your home base for experiencing everything the WNC area has to offer. Enjoy the beauty of the season and your favorite activities: hiking the many trails in the area, fishing, tubing, dining, shopping, sightseeing or fun at the newly expanded Harrahs Casino! Enjoy Blue Ridge shops, ride the train through the mountains, sample some of the great local wineries/ breweries, or enjoy the quaintness of nearby mountain towns. The cabin is located in a quiet community that offers paved roads for walking your furry friend, but provides the peace and quiet you want from a mountain retreat. A screened front porch is perfect for that evening drink or morning cup of coffee, and it includes an area for al fresco dining, complete with grill and bistro table and chairs.
High speed internet and underground utilities provide additional conveniences to enhance your stay. Level entry with parking right in front of the cabin!

This was the smoothest reservation/check-in/check-out process I believe I've had. The cabin was perfect and exceptionally clean (I am picky, so this really means alot!). Great quiet little neighborhood. The perfect spot for mountain adventures nearby. We had a great time and are so thankful to this host for sharing their cozy little cabin.

We had an amazing stay and the host was so responsive. The community and people were so nice and it was situated in a great location in the mountains. Will definitely be back again. Also, of note: the casino is only a 18 minute drive which is where we spent most of our time.

About the host

Hosted by Marie-ellyn

Host profile image
Retired from 40+ years as an educator and counselor, and enjoying life! I love the mountains of North Carolina and the beaches of St. Augustine, Florida, where I make my home. Mom to two grown sons and two fur babies who are my constant companions, and brand-new grandma to a beautiful little girl! Now learning to navigate a new chapter as a breast cancer warrior, but keeping my eyes on the prize of better health and many more days to enjoy. Life is good!

Why they chose this property

Whispering Hills is a new, quiet cabin community conveniently located close to Murphy, NC, Blue Ridge, Georgia, Tennessee, and many charming mountain towns. The roads in the community are paved, and underground utilities and high-speed internet add convenience and reliable communication to your stay. There is plenty of area to walk your furry friend if you have a pet accompanying you, and a screened in porch to sit and enjoy watching all the wildlife that frequents the neighborhood. We just added additional space to the porch which we will make a grilling/outdoor eating area when weather warms. Stay tuned!
There's plenty of parking in front of the cabin, and space in the cabin is efficiently used to provide you with a comfortable stay. I want your experience to be one that provides you with lasting memories; you should not have to deal with any issues or problems but just enjoy your time there!

What makes this property unique

The cozy cabin is beautifully appointed with rustic chic furnishings and decorated tastefully to make you feel like you're at home. The cabin was designed to provide you with comfort, quiet and all the conveniences you need to have a stress-free, enjoyable stay. We want you to feel like you're in a home away from home!
