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

Relax with the whole family in this peaceful, pet friendly, mountain cabin surrounded by the Nantahala National Forest. You can drive any vehicle to navigate the winding roads and access our flat gravel driveway. You'll enjoy the peace and quiet as you relax out on the wrap around deck and take in the beautiful peekaboo mountain views. Grill out on the back deck and watch a portion of the sun set. Sit around the newly upgraded fire pit and make s'mores with the kids. Our house features three levels of warm and inviting amenities to make your next visit to the wilderness, everything you expected and more. Enjoy our two large screen TVs connected to the Dish Network! Shoot pool, play foosball, or video games with the Wii U! Fiber optics and Wireless Internet is available for checking emails and light streaming.
Activities just outside our cabin include a short walk down to a portion of Lake Hiawassee, for viewing and fishing. Another option is to follow the gravel road past the cabin you will be in the Nantahala National Forest for an easy hiking experience. We have seen deer walking through our property and we have heard of bear spotting’s.
Activities that you will need to drive to experience include the nearby Mountain View Marina which is approximately 15 minutes away and has all your boating, fishing, and rental needs. Just past the marina you will see the TVA dam where there is a view of the lake and picnicking area. Other outdoor activities include white water rafting, hiking, fishing, tubing, biking, wineries, brew pubs, and more! Enjoy all the local area has to offer including the 20-minute drive to historic downtown Murphy for shopping and dining.
Indoor activities include Harrah’s Casino just 10 minutes past downtown Murphy.

Best Choice

We looked at so many properties and chose this one. It was our best guess that became our absolute winning choice. Our grandkids told us over & over how much BETTER this year was than any ‘cabin’ they’d visited before. The space was spacious! The games were enjoyable! The kitchen was equipped. The sleep space restful. The porch was awesome. The firepit was great (S’mores galore!) Whenever you choose a place, we hope that you find an owner/presenter that doesn’t oversell so much you’re underwhelmed upon arrival. Rather, that you arrive at this place and instantly know you’ve made the right choice plus!! We ended our stay with a formal dinner in the cathedral ceiling dining room!

Exactly as described in listing

Very quiet and peaceful area and an easy drive to towns in NC and TN with charming downtowns, great restaurants and tasty breweries. Property owners are very welcoming and take a lot of pride in the upkeep and cleanliness of this home. Our senior dog really enjoyed taking in the nature smells and walking laps on the walk-around deck while we enjoyed all of the shade and nature it also had to offer. I’d highly recommend this place if you want to have some of the most peaceful nights sleep you’ve ever had.

Excellent Secluded Getaway

Tom and Patty's place is great for families looking to get away and experience nature. There are ample hiking activities nearby, the Murphy Riverwalk is excellent. The cabin is exactly as advertised, there are plenty of amenities throughout which make the stay more enjoyable. There was an extra propane tank for the grill which was awesome, so we didn't have to worry how much gas was there. The cookware was excellent quality, the foostball table and the pool table were great for the kids. Fishing was a short walk away, all in all it was a wonderful visit. I'd highly recommend visiting their cabin.

Beautiful cabin

I have stayed in several cabins up there in the Cherokee County area over the past 10 years and this is the best cabin that I have ever stayed in. It is so clean, the site through the lot across the roadway is just beautiful it's stunning. It's a beautiful cabin to stay in. I will definitely be staying there again and I recommend this to anybody that's up there in the area. it's very affordable, it's just beautiful and the road is really good to get up there. Thank you so much for sharing your cabin. Dewees Family 7/24

Clean, everything we needed, all the comforts of home!

This rental property was beautiful! The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots, and pans, and even a crockpot. The only thing missing were some baking dishes, casserole, and like. We love the view of the mountains from the front porch. It was a little ways from downtown Murphy so you want to make sure you have everything you need from the grocery store before you head home up the mountain. We highly recommend this rental!!

Beautiful!

Everything was so clean and pretty. Since we stayed over Christmas there were cute decorations and lights put up for us. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. We arrived after dark so the road was a bit treacherous! It was fine during the day. We had great internet, but absolutely no cell phone service with our carrier. Would definitely recommend. Thank you!

Great cabin!!

I would recommend this cabin to anyone! Great location tucked away but close enough to shopping and dining. This cabin is very well taken care of! Plenty of linens and stocked kitchen I.e, appliances, utensils dishes etc. Patty has a great information book to look through and she was also very responsive to any questions we did have. We can’t wait to rent this cabin again next year!

This place deserves a million stars. It was a great location, more wildlife, and the host was very helpful and communicated very well with you. I would definitely want to stay there a million times over. It was like a home away from home. I just can't thank the host enough for letting us stay there.

Great family getaway!

Lacking for nothing! This house was spotless, well stocked, and close to everything. It was one of the best VRBO vacation homes we've been to. Hosts are thoughtful and attentive and responsive to our needs. The pool table was a big hit, wrap around porch was great for eating outdoors, and we never turned on the tv once! Can't wait to go again!

Beautiful cabin and view!

Easy to book, super clean, room to spread out, so many extras that make it home away from home. The front porch view is stunning especially at sunset. Murphy isn’t too far to eat out or go shopping in the cute downtown. Harrahs casino as well, if you like that. We stay in cabins a few times a year in north Georgia and this one is terrific!

This cabin is very clean, well stocked and cute. There were only 4 of us, but there is sleeping room for several people. I thought that it would be closer to the town of Murphy (the only reason that was bad is that my parents enjoy the casino).
