The moment we walked into the cabin, we were truly awed at the beauty of the place. The cabin was tastefully and beautifully decorated for Christmas. We truly enjoyed our stay. It was easily accessible to get to and still felt like a hidden gem in the woods. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. I will definitely book this cabin again.

This property was amazing. The location was perfect for what we needed. The home was very clean and had everything you could need. It was like being at home. The home had all the extras and was stocked with all the necessities and more. My favorite thing was watching the sun come up on the back porch with my morning coffee all snuggled up with the heater on. We even had some deer visit us. The host Heather was amazing and was quick to respond to any questions. We had an amazing time and will be booking again.

Wonderful mountain vacation!!

We had a fantastic time at this property and our family is already discussing when we can go again! Heather is an exceptional and attentive host who definitely has the gift of hospitality. We had a couple minor issues and she went over and above to resolve them. Our son and his wife really enjoyed the sectional and proximity of great hikes and waterfalls. Our daughter’s favorite thing about the cabin was the coffee bar and our pup couldn’t get enough of the wraparound porch. Thank you again for sharing your mountain home with us!

The name fits the property!!!

We've been renting thorough VRBO for years and cannot compare anything else to this property. It was like walking into our home! My wife even said she could make this our forever home and I agreed. Everything from the thoughtfulness in the decorations, the stocked kitchen, the awesome media room downstairs, the seclusion and peacefulness... I could go on and still not do it justice! Heather was awesome to work with as well. Any questions I had were answered immediately. We've never been to the same place twice with our rentals but we both agreed we've finally found a go to!

Thank you so much for staying with us, and for taking the time to share such a fantastic 5-star review!! We too have stayed at many VRBOs, so when we started on the journey towards owning and sharing our vacation home with others, it was important to us to go the extra mile with the little yet super impactful things. We knew that by doing so, it would make our guests ‘feel at home’, and it would make their stay at the Certainly Heaven Retreat an enjoyable one that they would always remember. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the seclusion and peacefulness as much as we do, it’s truly one of the things that made us fall in love with our little slice of heaven. We look forward to hosting you, your wife, and your pups again soon!

About the host

Hosted by Heather Certain

Host profile image
We are from Florida, but we love to spend as much time as we can at our little slice of heaven. There’s something special about this place and Murphy, it’s like a town right out of the 1950’s, thus why we love to share it with others when we aren’t enjoying it ourselves.

Why they chose this property

We are nestled on the outskirts of Murphy in a very small and secluded neighborhood with large private lots. We love being greeted by the view of Simonds Chapel on the hilltop, which is the perfect landmark as you make the turn off of 64. We love the view of the mountains in the winter and the lush green in the spring and summer. Given our secluded and private location, we often see families of deer on the property. We also enjoy our daily visits from Rojo, our cardinal who likes to look at himself in the mirrors of our vehicles.

What makes this property unique

Some things that we’ve been told make our property unique…first and foremost, we would definitely say the full wrap around porch!! While we do have a few neighbors nearby, we also love how secluded our property is with no other properties in site from anywhere on the property. The very large lower level bonus room with the 86’ TV and sound system is also a guest favorite! We also LOVE cooking on the BlackStone!!
