House was very clean, spacious and decorated in rustic cabin style. Quiet and peaceful, yet close to Murphy. We enjoyed the fire pit area. Regret that it was too cold to swim! Owners were responsive and pleasant. Enjoyed our long weekend!

The kids loved swimming in the pond by day and roasting s’mores by night. They enjoyed the downstairs pool table and their own TV too. We had everything we needed in the house. A comfortable stay and beautiful scenery. We weren’t far from river tubing or boat rentals. We’ll have lots of memories!

Lovely cabin with all the things we needed. The kids loved the swimming pond and having their own space downstairs with the pool table and TV. Everything was clean and welcoming. The owners were very friendly and attentive. We were close to river tubing and also rented a boat for the day at Lake Hiwassee. Great trip!
