Pleasant cottage close to town
We had a very pleasant stay over a long weekend. The cottage had all the necessities we needed and it is located just a few minutes from Murphy town center where they have several restaurants, a small movie theater, shops and ice cream places. You can drive a short distance to several different hiking trails or make a day trip to different mountain attractions an hour or two away. We would stay here again!

So close, yet feels so far away
This was a wonderful find. We usually stay in this area and this is the first time we have been so close to town without the feeling of traffic, lights, and noise. It was so quiet. The house was supplied with everything we needed and we loved sitting out on the deck watching the deer, rabbits and squirrels. Check in was quick and the owner is very responsive and accommodating. Would love to visit again.

A gem!
My cousin and I stayed here while attending the John C Campbell Folk School Fall Festival. The house is impeccably kept and cute as it can be. It is convenient to Murphy and Brasstown, so getting around was easy. The beds are comfortable and the towels are fluffy. The host was responsive. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. There is no question that we would stay here again!

We weren’t at the house that much
The house was great. We didn’t get to really enjoy it as we were in town working. But I do have to say the water pressure in the shower was great. I was really impressed with the appliances. They were older but still worked amazing. I have new appliances and they are constantly breaking. They just don’t make stuff like they used too!

Nice mountain home near town, good internet and phone reception. The kitchen was well stocked, the tv had good reception and the king bed was comfortable. We would definitely stay there again.

Great getaway
Murphy was an incredible place with not too much going on but just enough to find things to do. Check out Murphy’s chophouse if you stay here. The house was clean and nice and the owners were helpful throughout the process. Very affordable as well 10/10 recommend.
