Peaceful Cabin Retreat w/ Fishing Pond, near Folk School. WiFi, Pet Friendly!

10/10 Excellent

"The cabin is very private on a pond. The lighting options are excellent everywhere inside. We enjoyed the screened in porch every day in the morning and often in the evening. The whole place was cozy and well thought out. The recliners were a great place to relax in the evening. The kitchen was equipped with enough plates, utensils, pans, etc. to prepare all of our meals. We cooked chicken for the week on the very functional and maintained gas grill.Everything was exceptionally clean and very well taken care of.One morning on the way to class at the Folk School, a tree was down across the road. We contacted the owner, and they were out there in 15 minutes and had it cleared out very quickly.The 10 minute drive to the Folk School made this a great place to stay while taking a class there.We were very pleased with our stay and would definitely stay here again if we are back in the area."

Waterfront cabin in the mountains. Peaceful, relaxing setting.

10/10 Excellent

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Murphy by IHG

"It was a great visit"

Small Cabin with 100' Private Waterfall on 24 Acres

8/10 Good

"We had a pleasant stay. The waterfall was absolutely stunning. The view from the deck was spectacular.. The cabin was very simple and small but comfortable. The only drawback we had was the temperature inside the cabin. It was very hot, and the small window units were unable to keep up during the heat of the day. We were there for two weeks so we ran out of paper products and trash bags, but that wasn't a significant concern. We took our fur babies with us, and they LOVED the property. They were able to run and explore with abandon....supervised, of course:) A tornado actually went through Western North Carolina one of the days we were up there, and much of the county and even some neighboring counties were out of power...for several days. The cabin did not lose power or TV/internet/phone reception which was a tremendous bonus. We would definitely stay here again.....just maybe not during hot weather."

Beautiful upscale mountain trip
