Had a Great Time in Murphy

We live in Miami and wanted to get away for a while up in the mountains so we found this place and contacted Walter (the owner) and tried to set it all up. Renting and scheduling it all was quick and painless, hes very well organized and responds quickly, so when it was time to go we were set. The location is a blessing and a curse, located atop a rural mountain with a few other vacation homes (moderately spaced out so you can still enjoy your privacy), the view is GORGEOUS sunup to sundown and the stars at night are wonderful, but it is near 2 hours from any major attraction or large town. The City of Murphy is great for driving in and just walking around to the different shops (great antique shops), very family friendly with no bars or clubs (its a dry county), but many quality restaurants. We made day trips to go white water rafting and hiking in South Carolina and Georgia and the 3 bedroom 3 bathroom cabin was very comfortable to return to and relax with a fully equipped kitchen and grill to cook. Along with all that, the owner and cleaning staff are very courteous, even sending me my bag which I left behind with my camera and phone charger, arriving quickly through UPS without any hassle from them. All together a great trip in a location I would recommend.
Owner's Response: While a number of the local attactions are 1 1/2 - 2 hours away, there are quite a number of things to do that are between 30 - 45 minutes or so away, depending on what you want to do. These include white water rafting, boating, horseback riding, golf and several national parks.
