This was a great setting for four guys sport motorcycling the great roads around the Murphy area (e.g., US 129 Deals Gap Tail of the Dragon). We used it as a base for our moto tours and a great place to relax together in the evenings.
The cabin has great amenities for our purpose. Some highlights:
- Modern and fully-functional kitchen. It’s new refrigerator has a working icemaker, which seems rare these days.
- Great porch with awesome view, seating, hot tub, grill, etc.
- Game room with pool table, darts, shuffleboard.
- Good smart TVs.
A lowlight was the internet service. I asked before booking whether the house had good internet. The answer was yes; no one has ever complained. Well, here’s a complain. It has point-to-point microwave internet service that is abysmal. In the morning I could bare watch a YouTube. It was worse in the evening. If you hope to watch streaming services like Netflix, forget it. I tested the performance with speedtest.net and the results were by far the worst I’ve seen. This home should subscribe to Musk’s new Starlink internet. Really.
Also note that you need to travel almost a mile up a hilly gravel road. We did this on sport bikes, which is not something they are designed for. I don’t envy less skilled riders on bikes such as huge touring Harleys.
Finally, The linens are generally good, but you may want to bring your own pillows. I did. They didn’t provide bar soap.
With the slight caveats, this was a spectacular house and perfect for our needs.
