Days Inn by Wyndham Murphy

8/10 Good

"Staff was friendly and helpful"

Cozy Murphy Cabin • Near Lake Hiwassee & Wineries

10/10 Excellent

"Everything in our opinion about the cabin was exceptional. Most importantly the cleanliness of the cabin. The complimentary snack basket was a nice gesture. The kitchen was well stocked with the necessary essentials. We liked that it was secluded and private while still felt safe. The cabin is just far enough away but still close enough to town to grab food and visit the shops. The host are informative and quick with responses. The people of Murphy and in the surrounding towns were also friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be returning to the cabin in the future."

Unwind Fireside: Serene Murphy Escape w/ Hot Tub!

10/10 Excellent

"Hummingbird House was a wonderful place for a mother-daughter trip to Murphy and surrounding areas. The layout of the house was perfect with a bed and bath on each side of the house and the host was very accommodating in allowing us early check-in. Some things we really appreciated: GREAT lighting in every room, a well-stocked kitchen with Keurig coffeemaker, cozy and enjoyable front/back porches, near-stepless front entry, relaxing hot tub, comfortable beds, private location at the end of a dead-end road but still very close to downtown Murphy where we highly recommend eating at ShoeBooties Cafe, Poor Parsons Pub, and Crafted Dough . We loved our time at Hummingbird House and would definitely book here again!"

Luxury Contemporary Chalet with spectacular views, amenities & nearby activities

10/10 Excellent

"Mountain Views are incredible. Large balcony for watching sunrise and gorgeous sunsets. Property is maintained to an exceptional level. Host is attentive to detail and easy to communicate with. The kitchen had very nice appliances, utensils, cookware and beautiful furnishings. Beds are very comfy!This property and the host are exceptional. Definitely 5 stars…I hope to return and would love to stay here again."
