Beautiful spot on the river. Caught fish, firepit, slid down the hill, awesome porches, gated community, no neighbors close. There was some construction across the river happening, which was a bummer. But overall the outside was stunning. Inside was very clean and well taken care of. I gave 4 stars because all the shower curtains were gross. I also had to wipe down all the wall switches from visible grime. But everything else seemed clean. Updated bathrooms and kitchen appliances were good. Had ample supplies of everything and well stocked with regular household items. The upper room was a loft with no blinds, so that was a bit bright, but worked for our family. Nice laundry available. Appreciated the dish detergent/new sponge/dishwasher soap in the welcome kit. Nice touch. We will be back! We didn’t spend too much time outside of the cabin, but did enjoy the Murphy River walk. Ingles and walmart not too far. Big Nicks bbq was good.

This cabin surpassed our expectations! It is right on the river and private. There was a beautiful space for outdoor dining and relaxing, and the inside of the property was homey and comfortable. Everything was clean and organized and ready for guests! I would highly recommend to families wanting a relaxing stay away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Beautiful Mountain Vacation

Beautiful, incredibly clean cabin. Fit our family with ease. We all loved the huge porches and often found our teen hanging out on the lower porch. Very comfortable beds and furniture throughout. Swimming in the river and fishing was a fave pastime of the kids. Easy access and very quiet even with other homes around. Loved the accessible bathroom on the main floor as it helped our elderly parent so much. Murphy is one of our favorite places for a mountain trip with our family. We are already talking about renting the same place for next year.
