Vacation at a family & pet friendly cabin in the Blue Ridge mountains!

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic stay at the cabin. The family really enjoyed it. Everything was beautiful, the drawers were conveniently labeled, and it was well stocked with pots and pans, basic kitchen items, and games. The whole family loved it, especially the kids having the bunk beds, foosball, and billard table.Highly recommend."

Cozy Murphy Cabin • Near Lake Hiwassee & Wineries

10/10 Excellent

"super nice cabin,we had a great stay with no problems..thanks troy"

Modern, cozy hot tub, stunning views, 3 fireplaces. Insta-@mymysticmountainnc.

10/10 Excellent

"Our family needed to get away from the daily rigamarole and enjoy being alive. We wanted to remember my Dad's life as his passing was coming up on 5 years ago, to appreciate my Mom's retirement after many decades of working hard looking after her family, to celebrate our PupGirl surviving a life-saving surgery, and to recognize God's blessings of a successful career change for me that was over 15 years of pursuit in the making. This place just ended up fitting the bill, our family loves this area of the US. We call it the 3 corners as you can sleep in North Carolina, eat in Tennessee and shop in Georgia (or whatever order you please) all within the span of your typical morning. The cabin feels like home, if you had multiple fireplaces, TVs, a hot tub, and a magnificient view. Keep up the goodwork! It really is a beautiful lil' section of God's green Earth!"

"Great family-friendly cabin with an incredible mountain view! The host was very friendly and helpful too! Highly recommend if you are looking for a peaceful vacation destination!"

Cozy Mountain Retreat! Lake & Mountain Views, Pet friendly! Fiber internet!!

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful views and wonderfully relaxing stay. Everything needed was provided. Comfortable beds and plenty of towels. Not going to ding the owners but on VRBO it states that it is a 17 minute walk to the lake. There is not a route that can take you there in 17 minutes . The only way to actually get to the lake is to the marina, about 8 minute drive or 45- 50 minute walk one way with lots of hills. All the property along the lake has private propery posted so unable to access the lake ."

Luxury Chalet w/Views, Wi-fi, Hot Tub & Pool Table

10/10 Excellent

"The hosts were great. Very responsive in giving detailed directions into the property and entry into the cabin. Quick response with any questions or concerns. The cabin was very clean, tidy and cozy. Kitchen fully stocked with anything you need to cook meals. Beds were extremely comfortable. This property is private, surrounded by woods and has a beautiful view through the big windows on the front side of the cabin, especially looking out from the loft. The pool table on the lower level was fun. My husband and I along with our 2 dogs got some much needed rest and relaxation while there. Looking forward to going back again."
