Cozy Cabin

The cabin was perfectly stocked and organized with labels on everything. That is super helpful when it comes to light switches, etc. There is no guessing. The hot tub was clean and HOT. Bedrooms were very comfortable. Our young daughter enjoyed the loft as her hangout space. The owners seemed to think of everything! We even enjoyed lunches outside on the little patio table. We definitely recommend this cabin in Murphy!

Great Cabin

This is our second time staying at this cabin. The hosts are always amazing and very responsive. The cabin is new, well equipped, clean, and easy to find. You feel secluded but the access is an easy paved road to driveway. This is our go to place to slow down and unwind. The location is close to many sights and things to do in Western North Carolina and North Georgia. This cabin and hosts get our highest recommendation. Thanks for a great stay.

A wonderful rainy holiday

This may have been the cleanest property we've ever seen. The layout (with one bedroom upstairs and the second downstairs) was great for privacy, and the screened-in porch was the highlight of our stay. We spent at least half our time sitting out there, tossing balls for our dog, and watching it rain. I was able to get some work completed, and we rested. I'd love to return in the future!

Journey

The cabin was great, the driveway up to the cabin was crazy! Need to tell people about how steep it is! It’s advertised as pet friendly but there’s not a lot of grass or walking areas for dogs can get some exercise!

From the owner: "Thank you for your review. IAm sorry that you feel the driveway was too steep. Actually our driveway is not bad at all. Yes it is a bit steep but mountain roads are typically a bit steep especially if you want a Mountain View. As far as the concern about not having a dog friendly area, we are in the mountains. Most cabins in the mountains do not have grass. We have a lot of area for dogs to"

Well stocked and comfortable.

All around great home. Kitchen well stocked, bedding and beds were very comfortable. Didn't get to enjoy the hot tub or 2 ouside fire pits but they were available. Pet friendly. The driveway leading to the house was a bit of a challenge due to the recent rain. Gorgeous view. House was decorated for Christmas which was an unexpected and nice surprise.
