Walk to the river or stay at the cabin w/ great outdoor space. Close to the Folk School & Casino

Welcome to Babblebrook Lodge, expertly management by Great Mountain Cabin Rentals in Murphy NC.This is a lovely, peaceful log cabin in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. It has 3 full bathrooms and 3 bedrooms, as well as a futon that can sleep 1 more. 2 bedrooms and bathrooms are on the first floor you enter from the driveway, only climbing 5 steps.

The light-and-bright home has an all wood interior and exterior with a vaulted ceiling great room, and a small but nice mountain view visible from the decks and one of the bedrooms. You gaze at the mountain from the guest bedroom window throughout the spring and summer. If it's cold, just click the remote and the natural stone fireplace springs to life with warmth and a dancing light to cozy up to.
The ground floor (wood walls, tile floor) has a large game room with an air hockey table, a pool table, and a pacman machine. A bedroom, bathroom, and spare room with futon here have so much privacy that they can feel like they have their own place. This floor is built into the side of the hill making it always cool in the summer. There is a workstation here which you can place in front of the large window--listen to the brook and birds singing while you work, watch the birds flock to the bird feeder just outside during mini-breaks.

But don't spend all of your time inside! The house has 2 large decks, one of which is partially screened, with a total of 6 chairs and a triple swing. 2 of the chairs in the screened-in area are top-quality gliders.
And then there's the best feature of the property: the backyard! I have put extensive work into it, installing stone steps leading to two separate stone seating areas with top quality, very comfortable seats (one is a triple glider bench), 2 hammocks, and 2 fire pits. These sit beside the mesmerizing stream running through the property (which you can also hear burbling from the deck). Make a fire in the natural rock fire pit in the secluded sitting area by the bend in the stream, toast marshmallows and listen to the crackling of the fire harmonize with the brook's tiny waterfall, or take the most restful nap of your life in the hammocks there.

I have planted fig, apple, chestnut, and peach trees, and blueberry bushes, while muscadine grape vines and blackberry bushes grow up an enormous tree. Pick any fruit that's ready!

The cabin has a large, paved driveway with automatic lights, excellent cell reception (at least for Verizon), and blazingly fast wifi (over 100 Mbps) that reaches all the way down to the stream. Do your work in the hammock, surf the web in the seating areas, or livestream by the real stream to make your friends jealous!

This is a pet friendly cabin and there is a $50 pet fee that will be added to your stay if you bring a pet. Please let us know your intention on bringing a pet in advanced.

You will be required to sign a contract and provide a copy of your drivers license.

About the Neighborhood:
The cabin lies nestled in Nantahala National Forest in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. It is an excellent base for day-trips. Many quaint and lovely towns are in the area (Blue Ridge, GA is only 30 minutes away) and 3 wonderful cities are within a 2 hour drive: Atlanta, GA; Asheville, NC; and Chattanooga, TN. There are more opportunities to hike, kayak, or tube than you could do in a month. The Hiwassee River runs through the neighborhood, making fishing, tubing, or kayaking a snap. A fairly easy nature trail runs along the river, canopied by trees, just a 5 minute walk from the cabin's front door.
The neighborhood, Highland Creek, has all paved, easy to drive roads and a pavilion on the Hiwassee River which you are welcome to use as the river access point. Lowe's, Walmart, and Ingles supermarket are all within a 10 minute drive.

*Any stays over 28 days will incur additional cleaning fees.
