A Long Weekend in the Mountains
Review Submitted: February 28, 2008

The amenities at this nicely decorated property were above average. The furniture was high quality, the bed was very comfortable, and it was very clean. There would be enough room for six to sleep but the dining table and tableware will only accomodate four. If you are a coffee lover, be sure to bring your own pot as the one provided was tiny, and the cookware was only okay. There was a beautiful wrap around deck but no comfortable chairs for enjoying it. It is located on a hillside along with other wooded properties but has no view of a lake as was indicated in the advertisement. Most nearby restaurants are very casual or fast food. If you are looking for a place to serve merely as a home base for visiting area attractions it is great, but if you just want to rest and enjoy the scenery, pick another place.
Owner's Response: The coffeepot was replaced before this review came out, so that is no longer an issue. Our ad never intended to imply a lake view. "Lake " and mountain" were checked on the listing form, as the property is in the mountains and there is a lake nearby. The view is fully described in the listing and does not claim a lake view. In the listing it specifies that the lake is within 25 miles. However, I have removed "Lake" from the form, so that no one else will be confused by this. Our ad also specifies that the dining table only seats 4, so this should not have been a surprise. As to restaurants, Murphy is a small town. I know of at least one very fine restaurant in town, and one excellent family dining restaurant very near our cabin. As to the porch seating issue, we are in the process of buying rocking chairs and a table and chair set for outdoor dining.
