Cabin near Blue Ridge & Murphy, fast wifi, dog & family frndly, hot tub & trail!
Welcome to our Happy Hytte in the North Carolina mountains! In Norway, where we have family, cabins are called hyttes (pronounced like hit-uh- see the Norwegian flag on the porch). We named our cabin to reflect both our heritage & the cozy cabin vibes for which the folks in Norway are known. Ideally situated in the southwestern corner of the state, to our south we are a stones throw from the areas of Blairsville & Blue Ridge, Georgia. To the west we are a short drive to Tennessee & the Cherokee National Forrest. Your activities itinerary can be as full as you can handle!
We know that you want your trip to the mountains to be all about outdoor living, and we’ve got just the porch you’ve been searching for. Rock the day away on the front porch, relax on the side porch in the swing with a book, grill up dinner and eat inside or out, and then finish off the night around the campfire in our locally made Adirondack chairs or a soak in the hot tub. Our cabin is secluded without being isolated. You will lose cell coverage but our high speed internet will keep you connected! We have a lovely view of our community pond (where you can watch the deer come by for a drink as the sun sets), and a whole acre for the kids to run around. We even have a hiking trail that begins just at the end of our drive.
Couples and friends are welcome, of course! But, we are set up for the needs of families like ours, just in case. After years of traveling to the mountains with kids we know what families need! Our primary suite is just right, with a Casper mattress in a proper queen size bed and your own en suite bath. The kids have run of the bunk room with two bunks (four twin beds!) that we’ve decorated to make them feel adventurous and a hall bath they can share. We’ve even brought a pack n play in case you’ve got a really little one. The deck has gates at both ends so that your kids or your pups can have the run of the deck without being able to run off entirely. We have our own porch dawg, and are happy to welcome yours without charging a pet fee.
The kitchen is fully stocked, and not from 32 different yard sales! Cook, bake, or heat up leftovers from the pizzeria down the road (it’s pretty legit!) The road to the hytte is nicely paved, no gravel until you get to the driveway and no crazy hills to slide down while you try and find us in the dark. We even put up twinkle lights on the porch so you’ll know you’ve made it! Velkommen!

The Happy Hytte was very clean and welcoming. It was well stocked with everything we needed for a few days away exploring the area. We found it very cozy, and our pups enjoyed the stay as well. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!
Loved our stay! This cabin has everything needed for a getaway in the mountains. The hosts have set it up to feel like a home away from home. Everything is comfortable and clean. They even decorated for Christmas! The bunk room has books and toys for kids. The deck is spacious and safe for littles with gates by the stairs. The host was also quick to respond to anything we needed. I would highly recommend this stay!
We felt at home here. They had everything you could need and more for your stay. The cabin was immaculate upon arrival. Its very spacious and comfortable. We hated to leave and would have extended our stay if we could. We will definitely stay again when we return in the spring. The best part is that our 3 pups were just as welcome as we were and that meeans a lot to us!!!

Aw, what a great review! Thanks so much for choosing us and we are thrilled to host you again in Spring!
The property is very nice and clean and has anything you could want! My boyfriend, puppy and I had an amazing time staying here and will definitely choose this house again if we come back to this area.
The property has everything you need for a relaxing vacation in the mountains. Beautiful property and responsive owner. Highly recommend. We selected this location after signing up for Rolling Thunder whitewater rafting. Our dogs loved it too. Very clean - inside and out.

This property is amazing. Very well maintained and stocked and you can tell property owners care about clients. Been to this area many timesand we now have a new favorite.
Thanks for letting us stay at your wonderful Hytte! Our family enjoyed every minute of the stay and everything was perfect. We walked the trail and enjoyed the surroundings as well. We are looking forward to booking it again some time soon!

Thanks so much for the lovely review! We look forward to hosting you again!
Close to Blue Ridge mountains in the middle of everything Blairsville.So much to do in the area hiking tubing barbecue is good in the area and the cabin itself. The little outside little pond. My kids had so much up fun fishing and the the hiking trail that was.There was amazing as well
I booked this cabin for my daughter’s 16th birthday for her and a couple friends. We all had a blast. Beds were comfortable, cabin has everything you need and is beautiful. The grounds are well maintained and we enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub. Would definitely stay again.
We loved staying at this cabin! It’s so cozy, all the beds are super comfortable we slept like babies. The hot tub was wonderful. It’s so much cuter in person. I would highly recommend staying here. It was the perfect size for our family of six. Absolutely perfect!
This cabin was great! The owner had thought of everything and were super friendly.
This vacation was a birthday getaway. The cabin was great, comfortable and had everything possible. There was a little bit of noise from the road close to the property but not awful! I would rent this location again.

Hey thanks, Kay! It is a little noisier in winter because we have so many deciduous trees between the house and the road that had dropped their leaves. We are looking into investing in some evergreens. :)
Hope to see you again!
We had such a relaxing weekend at this place. It was so clean, cozy, and easy to get to. I didn’t have kids there but it would be perfect for a small family. I’ll be back for sure!

Thanks so much! It was a pleasure to host you. We hope you’ll visit again sometime. :)
Everything was just as described. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. So comfortable and pet friendly but you would never know it because it was so clean and well taken care of. I spent so much time sitting on the deck and or relaxing in the awesome and also spotless hot tub. We walked multiple times on the nature trail inside the neighborhood and saw a lot of deer and other wild life. I am really looking forward to coming back.
The Hytte was just as shown. It was cozy, comfortable and relaxing. Kitchen was fully stocked and I loved the extras provided like pantry staples and toys for kids. The point of our trip was rest and relaxation and we received both. We hope to stop again in the future.

About the host
Hosted by Van
We are a family of four who vacationed in this area every summer for seven years and then finally were able to buy a little cabin of our own. We are so excited to share it with you!
Why they chose this property
Our Happy Hytte (pronounced hit-uh, meaning cabin in Norwegian- notice the Norwegian flag 🇳🇴 in pics) is a family and dog friendly cabin in Murphy, NC. We are 20 minutes from the Cherokee National Forest, 30 minutes from the Nantahala, & right around the corner from Blairsville and Blue Ridge. We are kid approved, with a gated deck to keep your little ones and fur babies close by. That doesn’t mean we aren’t a great option for couples who would like 2 bathrooms (IYKYK)! With our front porch view of the community pond, hand made Adirondack chairs, and thoughtful amenities, including super fast WiFi and a hot tub, we invite you to come to the mountains and relax.
What makes this property unique
The hytte is a true log cabin in a great location at the end of the road (a paved road!) where you'll feel like you've got room to breathe and adventures to seek. The view off of your front porch will be our community pond, where the local critters come and hang out. We are in a nice little neighborhood of cabins where our nearest neighbor is a couple of acres away but we still have all the conveniences of home, like high speed internet, in case you need to connect to the real world.
