Stayed here 3 times, each time I had a blast. Chris is very helpful and easy to contact. Cabin was very spacious and well decorated. And only a few minutes from murphys so we were able to have stores and restaurants close by, but you are far enough away that you feel like you are alone in the woods.

My girlfriend & I had a great experience staying at the Red Apple Cabin. Chris communicated well and the cabin exceeded expectations in terms of cleanliness, location, and the cabin was very comfortable and felt like home! All the amenities were as advertised and there was even a pre-lit Christmas tree waiting for us. Highly recommend for anybody staying in the Murphy’s are.

We found our stay to be very easy at this location. The entry lock had a code that was set and easy to use. We were traveling with a person in a wheelchair and found the handicap ramp super helpful! Getting into the entry was a tight squeeze, we could have used the sliding glass door around on the patio, but made the front entrance work. The TV’s were easy to navigate and we were able to log into our Netflix account easily. There was ample setting. Each bedroom had fresh linens and towels on each bed. The kitchen had all the basic items needed to cook and clean and even had spices and other helpful cooking items. We were traveling with our dog, and paid the extra pet fee, which was way cheaper than paying to board her at a doggie daycare. We will definitely say here again in the future!

Overall it was a nice place. Had a couple of minor issues with the house such as electrical but easily overcome once we figured out that some outlets needed to be turned on by a gfi outlet, oven door fell apart but easily repaired with a screwdriver. Otherwise it was a nice stay. Beds for me were super uncomfortable and hurt my back by morning. It’s 4mi from murphys and can sneak up rapidly
