We stayed here in June 2021 and loved every second of it. I made sure to note it as a return stay for our next trip if the opportunity was given and we did last week (May 2026). Beautiful property, beautiful views, easy check-in and check-out. Had a trash situation from the previous folks that stayed there (outside bins were full) and when I messaged the property manager he was there in snap! Thank you Joshua and Lauren!

Everything was wonderful! Our group had an awesome stay at your place. We really enjoyed the kitchen and everything that was available to cook and prepare our meals. The view from the porch during the day and at night (the stars) was great. The sitting area with the television was very comfortable and relaxing. Everyone enjoyed their bedrooms and bathrooms. Thank you for the ingredients for s'mores, we never made it out for a campfire, we will do it nice time. Thank you!!

Excellent house for bigger groups, plenty of space to spread out when necessary (we stayed 10 days… always a time here and there my wife and I just needed some peace and quiet!!!). Kitchen is stocked enough to prepare meals, but Murphy is close enough to go out to eat, and there were several great restaurants. The hottub, pool table, and air hockey were a great addition, and the view is spectacular:)

Outstanding Family Outing

This home atop a steep hill oversees a very beautiful landscape with hills and valleys and is very secluded. The view is outstanding, and the privacy is great. A great deal to do with the game room having a pool table, card table and air hockey. We enjoyed the hot tub and the fire pit as well. I would highly recommend this home for your next vacation.

Thank you for your comment. We are working on upgrading a few things now inside the house and will be working outside this fall and winter. The house is now nine years old and gets a lot of use. We strive to always provide our guests with a five star experience.

Amazing views

We absolutely loved this house! There is plenty activities to keep everyone entertained for all ages. (Hot tub, pool table, air hockey, and ping-pong) The drive up is steep but no trouble at all. The location is excellent. The house was very clean. The views are beautiful. We would love to stay here again in the future.
