We really enjoyed our stay. The only negative comment would relate to the one lane road. We enjoyed sitting on the screen porch overlooking the pond. The kitchen was stocked better than any other place we've stayed, and the bed was very comfortable. The host was very accommodating and easy to communicate with.We would stay here again.

Relaxing retreat

Lovely cabin. Well kept with a relaxing view of a pond. Will say that the drive thru the neighborhood is a bit stressful, as it is a one lane winding mountain road, but worth the drive.

Despite the rain

Property is as advertised. We had a wonderful stay despite 5 days of heavy rains. Convenient to town and the casino. Finally got to fish on sixth day but only had two bites but no catches. Would highly recommend this property for its quietness and view of pond. Will definitely stay here again.

Really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was clean and the beds were very comfortable. We got to do a lot of fishing on the pond and we caught a lot of fish using the paddle boat provided. Thanks for letting us stay we hope to come back again.

Relaxing & Fun Stay in Murray,NC

We really enjoyed our stay here. So much room for 5 people with spacious living areas and bedrooms. Great amenities like the kayaks and the screened in porch with a lovely view of the pond. Highly recommend this rental for cooking meals as the kitchen is super well stocked with anything you might need. The place was very clean and the host’s quick responses were appreciated.

We loved relaxing on the screened balcony and enjoying the beautiful view of the lake There was a large water raft with life jackets it was amazing I recommended one hundred percent we will be returning amazing words can not express 👍👍👍👍👍

Amazing place to just relax and breathe!

We loved it. The downstairs was just as wonderful as the upstairs. The only thing missing downstairs was the kitchen! Balconies overlooking the lake on both floors. Several areas to fish from and the rods and reels were even there for us to use, along with "fake bait"! So peaceful and quiet. Use code to check in door. Most well stocked vacation rental I have ever seen....not missing anything! Well worth the money and Kay, the owner, is wonderful. Paradise, peace, what more could you want?!

Relaxing dream vacation

We loved everything about this charming home on the lake. It provided a peaceful and secluded respite and chance to reconnect with family surrounded by God’s nature. From the flowers blooming in the window box outside the master bedroom, to the quaint herb and flower garden spots, to the blue and white accent pieces in the house and kitchen, this home displays many touches of TLC. The screened in porch was our favorite part of the whole house- a great place to watch the morning rain storm over the lake, as well as to observe the geese and turtles and listen to the frogs. We created family meals in the well stocked kitchen, enjoyed the fire pit and took the kayaks out on the lake. Everyone slept comfortably and we had everything we needed to feel at home away from home.

Wonderful stay

This home had everything we needed and wanted. the screened in porch was perfect to lounge around on and watch the calm water. We built a small fire on the fire pit. A grill was accessible and great to use. Also several things to use to get into the water which was really great and water was clear. Lots of fish and turtlel to watch. Close to the casino and groceries stores. All in all, we would happily stay again. We loved the home. Also they had reverse osmosis water treatment, which is a wonderful thing to have. Top kudos to that. Thank you so much!!

Wonderful Hidden Retreat!

This "cabin" in the woods was a joy to stay in for our long weekend. The roads getting there.... Well, don't arrive in the dark! The screened in porch overlooking the pond was soothing and peaceful. I love the daybed, which would have been perfect for a nap if the weather were just a bit warmer. Some of the outdoor furniture may need updating for comfort's sake but was plentiful if you were bringing additional people! The kayak's and other water sport equipment were easily accessible and any concerns I had were promptly responded to by our host. Overall a wonderful oasis in a stressful world!

Fall mini vacation!

It was a little difficult to find but well worth the adventure. The driveway was a little hidden by beautiful trees. As we drove down the driveway, we got a nice view of the property. The fall foliage was amazing. Around back of the house was a sight to behold as the water reflected the colorful trees. The outside sitting area was very quaint with a swing for added comfort. Inside the house felt welcoming just like being home The kitchen had everything you would need for cooking. The upstairs had a wonderful, screened deck that offered you a spectacular view of the surrounding area. I could go on and on but am running out of space. I definitely recommend this home. The town of Murphy is your typical small town with friendly people. Our kind of place Enjoy your stay Karen & Larry Jenkins
