It’s a lovely cabin with a fabulous porch that you won’t want to leave. The cabin was clean and well-stocked and very comfortable. We visited the area to attend classes at the John C. Campbell Folk School and it was less than ten minutes away!

Beautiful cabin

Our weekly stay started out with rain the first full day. Afterwards, everyday was sunny and beautiful. Made for a great week of mountain riding. The cabin was beautiful and pretty close to the grocery store and various restaurants. Judy the owner, is about as pleasant of a person as you can find.

Awesome wonderful cabin

We have been staying at VRBO's for over 10 years. This cabin and owner is by far the best location and owner we have ever had. Judy could not have been more helpful. She is outstanding! The cabin is fully furnished and is absolutely beautiful. My wife and I have already reserved time for next year. We were very blessed to be able to stay in Judy's cabin.

Peaceful

It was the best rental we have ever stayed at! The location was great! The home was very comfortable! We slept so well! It was a clean & spacious cabin with beautiful landscaping and a gorgeous view! We loved the river and so did our dog! Judy was so sweet and was there for us if we had any questions for her. We loved the paved roads all the way to the door! It is not steep on the roads, you just have to drive slowly through the development. There were deer around every corner. We will stay there again!

Cant Wait to Return

This was our NINTH stay in this neighborhood and first stay in this cabin and it was wonderful. We can't wait to book again. The cabin is roomy, clean and fully stocked. We loved being on a dead end with no neighbors on one side of us. The mountain view was AMAZING. My husband and I sat each evening on the porch watching the sun set and deer that visited the front yard. We actually tried to book for next year, same time and it's already booked but we'll definitely book again. 10 out of 10.

We came to the John C Campbell folk school and stayed at this home for a week. It was Al close and convenient that we could easily come back if we had forgotten anything mid-day. Beautiful views from many vantage points. The home was cozy and it was easy to feel comfortable there. I truly recommend staying here if you are considering your options.

Enjoy beautiful sunset views from the porch at this charming, clean and comfortable cabin in Murphy. About 15 minutes to the John C Campbell Folk School, which was the main reason for our stay. Bed was comfortable, shower head A. Well-equipped kitchen, as well as supplies for laundry if needed. Throw blankets appreciated for cool evenings on the porch. Luke called back quickly when we arrived to answer questions about light switches and circuit breaker box (power had been off before we arrived as it turned out). So many cute bear decorations, although, alas, no bear spotted. Would definitely stay here again.
