Rest and relaxation

Our fourth stay and just as wonderful as the rest. We enjoy spending a day or two just hanging out at the river. A little planning is required due to remote location but once there we always have a great time

Wonderful stay at the barn

We really enjoyed our week at the barn. It is remote, but that's what we wanted. We had a few outings and a couple days playing at the river. Fun property, Wed definitely go back.

This property and loft are truly impressive! The grounds are beautiful and offer easy access to a cool, refreshing river. After a day spent outdoors, the loft is the perfect place to relax and unwind. It’s obvious that the owners have put a great deal of care and thought into designing every detail of both the property and the loft. We definitely plan on coming back!

What a great cabin! They have thought of everything. Well stocked with fire wood, games for inside and outside, kitchen supplies, etc. Luckily we did plan for all our meals at the house because its a good 40 minutes to a normal grocery store or restaurant. Make sure to come in via hwy 90 not through boone/blowing rock on globe road as that is a 3 mile unpaved road through the mtns. About 25 minutes to fish on wilsons creek. Thanks for having us!

Don't pass this one by!!

We are repeat visitors at Globe Valley and you simply must check out this barn. The Murphy's have done an amazing job turning this loft into a cozy space for gathering with friends or family. A sprawling kitchen island and large table to accommodate everyone. All the comforts of home packed into this lovely barn next to the river. Grab a pole and a float and come relax. You won't regret it :)

Globe Valley Ranch was truly spectacular. The hosts (Corrin) were super helpful and made our time there so special. The Johns River provided hours of entertainment for our families and dogs. There is amazing hiking nearby in the Pisgah National forest as well. The house itself was provisioned perfectly with everything we needed for our 4 night stay! Cant wait to return!!!

Relaxing

Rented this cabin to be near the Pisgah and do some fishing. This was the perfect location for me. River access on the property was nice. Plenty of wildlife seen on the property also. Would stay again.

Fantastic place very peaceful

The barn had absolutely everything we needed for a wonderful stay. Very well equipped with necessary items and lots of fun stuff for the kids as well. We had a great time down at the river, playing darts in the barn, having fires outside for roasting marshmallows, playing board games, and just sitting on the deck watching the sun set. The location is secluded and pretty off grid. To get almost anywhere you will have a dirt road in your future. We did not mind this at all. Maybe a better sheet of instructions would have been helpful, but we found everything we needed eventually. We will be back!

Get away from it all

We enjoyed our stay in the barn. It was clean and comfortable. Beautiful property and river access. No close by groceries or restaurants so plan to stop in Blowing Rock or Lenoir.

Unique VRBO provides special memories

The Loft over the Barn provided a delightful base for our exploration of Blowing Rock, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Linville Falls, Morganton and Lake James. Morning coffee and evening cocktails were enjoyed on the deck overlooking the meadow and forest. Dinners were enjoyed on the large kitchen island - with only the two of us, the dining room table for 6 was far too big, while the swivel stools at the island enabled us to watch TV sports as we ate. Plenty of utensils, china, pots/pans made cooking dinner easy, which after each day full of exploration, sightseeing, and hiking was most welcome. . . as was the shower with plenty of hot water and great water pressure! Homey touches added to our enjoyment - the tobaggan from LL Bean in the dining room, the interesting ceiling fixtures by each bedroom dresser, the comfy leather recliner. If you have children or grandchildren with you, there are plenty of puzzles and games, a swing set, and other playground equipment. The only challenge was the ten miles of unpaved gravel road for the most direct route to Blowing Rock - however, we discovered it was easily traversed in our sedan, so no problem! Thanks to this VRBO for special memories!

Exactly what we were hoping for

We had a lovely three nights in the barn. The space was cozy and charming. It felt secluded and far away, but we were close to great hikes in multiple directions. Great base for those, but we ended up doing less of that than we’d planned, because the kids had such a great time playing in the river at the edge of the property. Five stars from all of us.

Unexpectedly short visit

We had plans to stay 4 nights in the barn. When we woke up after the 1st night, we found out our 19 year old Chihuahua that we had taken with us had passed away. She belonged to my parents and sister who had already passed so we knew they would want us to take her back to be buried at home. I contacted the Murphy's and they were very understanding when I told them we had to leave. We talked on the phone about a possible refund but no specifics. We just knew we had to go home for burial. I found out the next day that we had been refunded the majority of our charges. I was pleasantly surprised! They were very kind and generous with us. Great folks to work with and we will try it again at a later time!

Beautiful location on the mountains and a great property. Plenty of room to walk the dogs and amazing river access for fishing. It is definitely worth the price and the owner was very nice and accommodating.
