Beautiful, well maintained home on a babbling creek. Spectacular views all around.We enjoyed relaxing by the cozy fireplace while admiring the lovely trees and creek. The house was spacious, clean, comfortable and quiet. About 15 minutes from the charming town of Murphy. Easy check in/out. Good communication from hosts. Highly recommend this home.

This cabin has a very nice,open & spacious floor plan equipped with everything you need and has a very quiet & relaxing location that is easy to get to. There is a neighborhood old, black dog that likes to visit and use the yard… seems friendly. Hearing the creek located in the back yard was relaxing. The only thing I would have liked would be a king bed in the master bedroom and blinds on back windows otherwise very nice & accommodating. Did see some spiderwebs & a couple spiders inside the house especially in the master bathroom. The cabin personnel was very easy to get a hold of. Enjoyed our stay !!! Rate 8/10

This is a perfect property for older people who don't want lots of stairs. My husband enjoyed flyfishing in the creek and caught several small trout, both rainbow and brown. The spacious back porch was perfect for dinner and listening to the creek. We stayed for three weeks and wished it could have been longer. Well appointed,highly recommended.

We loved this place. We actually met David and had a wonderful time talking. He's a fisherman like my husband so they had a great time sharing stories and pictures. We caught a few brown trout right there in the creek. Really nice size ones too. Released...so they are still there! We also were escaping the heat of Ft. Lauderdale so we enjoyed the beautiful days and cool nights around the firepit. The little town of Murphy is a gem too. So many people willing to sit and chat at every place we ate and shop we visited. If you come here do visit Crafted Dough. Boozy donuts and coffees. The Top o the Morning to Ya Irish Coffee will kick start your day! Not open every day but sooooo good. We loved out stay so much we extended ours an extra day....wanted more but sadly someone was already booked. This was one of our favorite vacations ever!

There are lots of basic maintenance issues that made our stay less than acceptable for 250/night.Upon arrival, we noticed poison ivy growing all over the property, including up the front porch.My husband had to remove it as we have small children.We also had to clean out several bugs from the bathroom tub--they seemed to be coming up out of the drain.The HVAC quit working on our first night.The host sent a repairman the next day, and he was able to get it working by removing the filthy filters and cleaning out the clogged and full drain pan.He said it looked like they had not done the annual maintenance on the unit in quite some time.Next, the water filter needed to be changed in the fridge, the filter reset button light was on and water flow was extremely slow.We looked forward to using the backyard furniture, but the hammock was torn and unusable, the bench was rotting and full of splinters, and the picnic table was also rotting.I noticed dust pretty much everywhere--fans, pictures, hanging from the ceiling, and top of cabinets and decor.The washer is very old and the lid is rusting and paint is peeling and every time we shut the door, paint and rust would get in our clothes, so it was unusable.Dryer did not dry clothes thoroughly.Trash has to be taken off site as part of check out process, but the trash place requires an access card, which is not provided. There was a loose dog, so that made us nervous to take our own dog out.Will not stay here again unless issues are fix

Everything about this property was just perfect. My husband enjoyed fly fishing in the creek at the back of the house and ended up catching trout. The home is very clean and in a very quiet neighborhood. We can’t wait to visit this property again!

About the host

Hosted by David Ross

Host profile image
We have retired to the mountains of North Carolina and, Trust Us, we only live in beautiful places. We live in this area and think we have found Paradise in our charming town of Murphy. We came to visit and vacation here and just had to stay. Our home is pet friendly for we have two golden retrievers (THE GOLDEN GIRLS) that are the loves of our lifes. I am sure if you travel with your pets, they are also your children. Our 5 grandchildren think this is the best place in the world and we agree. It is so centrally located and after 12 years we are still exploring and finding new adventures. My husband's advocation is photography and he has enjoyed photographing all the wonders of nature in the area. Some of his photos are in the home. He won lst place in the GA Mountain Fair several years ago and won 2nd place last year. The fair is in July and is an adventure not to be missed if you are here. Fun for the entire family in Hiawassee GA.

Why they chose this property

We came to visit here in 1997 and we fell in love. The next visit we found ourselves buying property and building a house here. What we love the most is the ever changing nature around us. We are always mesmerized by the sound of water and when we found this wonderful new home on a rushing creek we decided to buy it to share our piece of paradise in Murphy with others to enjoy. My husband said that the mountains are in my Scottish/Irish DNA and I would have to agree. As the saying goes 'You are nearer to GOD in the mountains than any other place on earth.'

What makes this property unique

The small town feeling where everybody waves and the deep history in this area is fascinating. The area where this home is located is where the last battle of the Civil War was fought on May 6th, 1865. This was an Indian Reservation and the Trail of Tears history can be found at our local museum. The folklore is long and interesting. All you have to do is ask and listen. A free performance every Friday night in the open air pavilion at John C Campbell folk school should not be missed. About a mile from the property is a monument to a Forge that was located here in 1839.
