Always a great stay!
I really love this cabin. It's always clean and so easy to get too. Nice little neighborhood but plenty of distance between the houses. The owners are true gems, always easy to get in touch with. The cleaner is so honest, my husband left his watch there and it's being returned to him.

Adequate but
Location was great, cabin a little small but clean inside, main TV not working, wifi none existent. Out side colony of bees in the upper part of house problematic. Needs fresh paint and TLC . If everything fixed would stay again . This was our 50th wedding anniversary so somewhat disappointing.

Rafting trip
The home was in great shape and looked very cozy. Nice quiet area close to rafting in GA. Full kitchen was a big help and the washer & dryer. Kids and myself really enjoyed the stay. Would highly recommend.

Quaint and cozy
The cabin is quaint, very clean and nicely decorated. The outside pics didn’t quite match up with what was there. Need to be updated. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and it’s location to Murphy and would come back again.

Adorable cabin close to THE BEST FISHING POND
My boyfriend, dog and I needed a place to get away for a few days while painters were at the house and I'm happy to say we found a wonderful spot in Murphy. The cabin was very clean with a well stocked kitchen with an ample supply of paper towels, toilet paper, etc. It was hot but the AC worked great and we spent a lot of time on the deck when the sun when down. Even better than the pictures. The pond around the corner from the house offered some great catch and release fishing. As soon as you put your line in, you would reel one in and we are not great fisher people! Only two thing to note - the bedroom pillows are VERY fluffy so if you need a flatter one keep that in mind and the upstairs loft bedroom has a window with no blinds so the morning sun comes pouring in. The only downside is it isn't closer to where we live. Great communication with owners!

Perfect Birthday Getaway
We loved the cozy cabin. Very relaxing and super cute! We loved it so much we decided to stay in and cook Saturday evening. Everything we needed to cook with was there. Bed was comfy and the little waterfall made sitting on the deck a bonus. We will definitely be back soon. We left a little butterfly on the tree.
