Cozy retreat

July 2025

This was the perfect place for my family to spend a long weekend. It was as pictured with no surprises. The cabin was cozy, clean, and comfortable. We enjoyed the backporch for morning coffee and bird watching. The extra loft space and sleeper sofa were also great features. I'd stay here again! We enjoyed white water rafting, the local cinema, and golfing at Chatuge Shores while catching up with my daughter who is a staff member for SWO.

We had a great time and enjoyed our stay! The cabin was really clean & well supplied with toilet paper, cleaning supplies, etc. The contact answered us right away when we had a question and resolved it. We enjoyed sitting on the back deck and sleeping in rhe loft. The bed was very comfortable! Thank you! We will return!

Great view and we loved how the place was decorated! The bear theme was cute. There were a lot of great games my kids enjoyed. We’ll be back again when we are visiting family in Murphy!
