About this property
Downtown Murphy Loft Apartment - Now PET Friendly
Murphy Lofts is the first of its kind downtown, located on the second level of a historic 126-year-old brick building. Private entrance, kitchen, and laundry facilities. It has all the charm of a small town and all the modern flair of a NYC artist's flat. Everything you want is within walking distance; local shopping with handmade goods, small-town eateries, a bakery, a brewery, and bars. We have two rivers, the Murphy River Walk, and Konehete Park with pickle ball courts and a paved bike path.
The entire apartment is an open loft concept with a full kitchen and living area, five huge windows, and blackout curtains.
The brand new kitchen is fully stocked. We provide a Keurig K-Cup coffee maker, as well as a drip coffee maker. The kitchen has a full-size refrigerator, microwave, stovetop, and pots and pans for those who want to cook. A set of plates, bowls, and cups are provided (these are my favorite and from my store- Black & White Market- which is on the main level of the building- so you better come see me!!!) Our mugs are made by a local potter.
We have a super cozy leather sofa bed (queen mattress), a side chair, and many plants (we have incredible natural light, so they are very happy). We also have a new 55" Smart TV.
The king bed is in an open space and has floor-to-ceiling curtains so you can make the area more private from the rest of the space. The bed is incredibly comfortable and soft, with a PURPLE queen mattress and Sertapedic mattress topper. The sheets are 100% organic cotton. Everything is scrupulously clean.
The twin bed is located in an elevated loft area, accessed by a ladder. It is not a standing space, but there is plenty of room for kids to spread out and play. This space also has its own 32" Smart TV.
The bathroom has a tall step-in shower and plenty of room for your toiletries. You will be provided with plush ribbed towel sets.
There is a designated public gathering space beside the building, as well. Picnic tables, benches, café-style lighting - it's functional and super dreamy of the evening when the lights come on.
Pets are (newly) allowed with a fee. No smoking in or around the entrance of the building.
(The loft is located on the second level of a historic 126-year-old brick building in the heart of downtown. There are 32 fairly shallow steps to climb after entering the back door.) October 2024 addition : 2 EV charging stations just 20 feet from the entry! (Provided by Murphy Electric Power Board - for the public.)

The property was VERY clean, extremely cozy, and newly renovated. Overall, it is a wonderful place to stay! The owners are very nice and very responsive
My wife and I loved every single minute of our stay. Plenty of food and drinks in walking distance. The loft is so warm, inviting, and perfectly cozy. We're already planning our next visit!
A great place right downtown. So fun to just park and walk around to all the shops and restaurants. Very well stocked with supplies and it’s obvious the hosts have put lots of thought into making it a great stay. It was a short little visit for us, but really wish we could have stayed longer!
We loved the loft and it was perfect for the 3 of us! Right in the middle of town, so we could walk to all restaurants! It was clean and beautiful. They did a great job with renovations!
The loft was so comfy with all the right touches . We loved every little detail . It was just a short walk to all of the restaurant's.
We will definitely visit the lofts again !
I was only in town briefly to cover some weekend shifts during one of our rare NC snow storms, but ended up having a bonus day off to loaf about, and this was a lovely place to do so.The loft is beautiful, very clean, comfortable, well-stocked, and conveniently located. Host was very responsive and kind, definitely would book this loft again!
The lift was cozy, clean, and centrally located … but the neighbor sounded like he was in the next room. I could literally hear his conversation. Investments in sound panels would be a great addy to what was otherwise a very nice place to stay.
The apartment was even cuter in person than the photos. We had a very short stay but loved the place and the location in downtown Murphy. It is well-appointed and had everything we needed. The loft is above a restaurant with live music, so there is some noise until the restaurant closes at night. Parking was convenient directly behind the building. We would definitely stay there again next time we’re in the area.
We loved staying here for a short getaway away from “normal” life. Great location with perfect and thoughtful amenities.
A few walkable options for dinner and a cool donut and coffee place super close. We also visited harrahs casino which was just a super short drive.
We have already talked about coming back! Loved it. 10/10!
Perfect for overnight stay planning to ride the rail in Andrew’s. Industrial eclectic Decor was fabulous & very clean.loved the view Old elevator !!! AC worked fantastic.
After our dinner and movie intown we were looking for something to do & happily surprised to be located across from the open air beer/wine bar that had outdoor music.

This was a great place! Top of the line appliances, linens, flatware and furnishings. Very clean and new. The listing noted 32 stairs and no elevator. This was no problem for us but might be for an elderly guest. The listing was for a pet friendly place but I missed the pet fee part but it was worked out. I have never stayed in an apartment in an older building downtown over a store, it was a great experience for us. The owners put in a lot of work to make this a truly unique place to stay !
We stayed here a year ago and loved it so much we decided to come back a second time. We love the style, everything is kept up to date, and the host is responsive and super easy to work with.
We hope to back again soon!
Absolutely loved this place! So convenient to downtown Murphy w good food and brews from Buck Bald.
This was 100% what we expected and beyond. Such a great loft style apartment to use for the weekend.
