About this property

Whimsical A-Frame | Secluded Feel, Close to Town

  • Tucked into the woods just minutes from downtown Murphy, Laurel Cove is a whimsical A-frame retreat that perfectly blends cozy seclusion with everyday convenience.

    While you’ll feel surrounded by nature with the soft sounds of a creek below and a peaceful wooded setting, you’re only a 5-minute drive to restaurants, grocery stores, and local shops in downtown Murphy. It’s the best of both worlds: a relaxing escape without sacrificing accessibility.

    Inside, the home features a unique and inviting layout with 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms.

    The loft bedroom is a true A-frame experience, with a queen bed and a sitting area that overlooks the large back windows. It’s the perfect spot to start your day with coffee while taking in the wooded views.

    The second bedroom is accessed from outside the home, offering added privacy. It features a queen bed, clothing storage, a smart TV, and a half bath. ✪ Please note that the ceilings in this bedroom are approximately 6 feet high, which may feel cozy for taller guests.

    The full bathroom includes a rainfall shower, vanity, toilet, and plenty of shelving for guest storage, along with a washer and dryer for convenience.

    The living room is warm and inviting, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows that bring in natural light and views of the backyard. Relax on the large sofa, which converts into a queen bed for additional sleeping space, or enjoy the smart TV after a day of exploring. A curated rock and mineral collection adds to the home’s unique, eclectic charm.

    The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare meals during your stay. It includes a refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, oven and range, microwave, large sink, and pantry space, along with cookware, dishes, utensils, and more. The eat-in dining area provides a comfortable place to gather and enjoy meals together.

    Step outside to unwind in the peaceful backyard setting. Enjoy the deck seating, cook on the charcoal grill, or gather around the wood-burning fire pit in the evenings. The natural surroundings and distant sound of the creek create a relaxing atmosphere that makes it easy to disconnect and recharge.

    Laurel Cove comfortably accommodates up to 4 guests, with the option to add up to 2 additional guests for a small nightly fee.

    Dog-friendly and full of character, this charming A-frame offers a memorable stay for those looking for something a little different- close to town, yet tucked away in nature.
