15 Reviews of Property 229144 in Murphy, North Carolina

Enjoyed a terrific week! The chalet had everything necessary for an enjoyable & worry free vacation! Location was quiet & peaceful and the sunsets were awesome! Took trips to Nantahala, Chatuge & other beautiful parks! River Walk in Murphy was delightful and try Shoebooties for unique meal! I highly recommend this rental!

The cabin (chalet, I guess) is just as advertised, and is excellent. We slept up in the loft, and the kids (4 and 6yrs old) slept in the downstairs room. The loft is quite roomy, but felt even roomier with the lovely view of the mountains through the wall of windows.

Communication with the owners was easy and prompt. Claudia is a wealth of information, and very responsive. We arrived near midnight, and had difficulties with the electronic lock. I felt bad for calling her, but Claudia picked right up and was very helpful and nice even though it was obvious we had woken her up. A tip about the lock--if the door hasn't been opened for a while and you're having problems unlocking it, try quite gently pushing/pulling on the door as you operate the lock. I think the bolt gets pushed up against the jamb and needs to be "unstuck" so the little motor can pull the bolt out.

We spent most of our days hiking in the Nantahala National Forest (Fires Creek area, if my memory serves), and spent some time at the John C. Campell Folk School.

We mostly ate in the cabin or on the trail. The kitchen is fully stocked and nicely laid out.

The driveway is a bit steep. Not a problem, but I can imagine it might be tricky in the snow or ice.

Overall, a VERY good experience. My 6-year old and I chose this chalet on VRBO. We were wavering between several, but she picked this one. We're all glad--it turned out great.

We just returned from spending a lovely week in this property. It was so nice to enjoy Thanksgiving in this setting with my family. Everything was as described...very clean, cozy and homey. The kitchen had absolutely everything I needed to prepare dinner for my family. We enjoyed sunsets on the deck, the local flea market and the town of Murphy as well as travelling further afield.

Claudia goes above and beyond to make sure that you have all the information you could need and are comfortable...great owners to deal with! Would definitely recommend to friends or family.

I found the listing for this cabin by chance and we are so glad we did. The cabin was beautifully situated, very clean and stocked with essentials. The view was magnificent and when we were there full of fall color.

It was central to the NC, GA and TN places we wished to visit and we spent several days not leaving the mountaintop but walking and sitting on the deck.

We have already sent the link to this cabin to friends and we will continue to do so.

We received a welcome text to make sure all was well and felt that if we needed anything that Claudia would try to make it happen.

We would definitely make a return trip.

The facility was comfortable and well furnished. All you need is groceries because the owner has provided all the little necessities needed for a short vacation. As mentioned by many, the sunsets were beautiful. Murphy is a small town but has everything needed for a pleasant vacation. A great Ingles Grocery Store, Lowes, and plenty of Flea Markets.

Our Stay in Murphy was great. Claudia the owner was great, she provided us with a lot of information that made our trip a success. The Chalet was very well maintained and cleaned. She has everything that you would find in your own house in this Chalet. All the information that she provided to us was correct and very useful. Even though we did not get to see snow, we did encounter some heavy rain storms and she was nice enough to check on us to make sure we made it safely. We traveled to Franklin, and its a nice city to visit. It has a great place for kids called Fun Factory. The waterfalls around Murphy and adjacent cities are very pretty and worth the trip to go and see. The view of the mountains were priceless, and this Chalet is so warm and cozy. I would recommend this Chalet and I look forward to visiting it again.

Claudia made getting in and finding stuff to do easy. The chalet is beautiful, spacious and well decorated. No need for a bike for cardio....just run the hill daily and you are set! Lots of things to do in Murphy and the surrounding areas. Try Highlands for the waterfalls, Bryson City for tubing, and points south for Kayaking at Rolling Thunder, rafting the middle Ocoee with NOC, zip-lining in the canopy with N. GA canopy tours, and hiking the nearby A.T.! Lots of beautiful waterfalls including Sliding Rock in Pisgah National Forest. Remember to wear shorts and a t-shirt as the water is freezing and you will tear up your bathing suit. Not feeling adventurous? Enjoy sunrises and sets on the porch and watching the birds come to the feeders. Wednesday nights is karaoke at Chevelle's in town. The shrimp was awesome and the guys liked the wings. The Chop House in town was also very good. We hope you enjoy your time at this cabin as much as we enjoyed ours. PS: Bring games for the evenings and secretly unscrew the satelite dish! Hahaha! Tell him it must be cloud cover! :O)

We loved our stay at the cabin! The pictures posted on the website do not do this chalet justice. Waking up in the morning and being able to look outside and take in the spectacular views was just wonderful. There are so many activities that are close by including the waterfalls outside of Highlands, Nantahala National Forest, and Cherohala Skyway. The owner, Claudia, was simply a pleasure to work with and was extremely gracious. She provided us with several recommendations which made our stay that much more enjoyable. I, personally, had a great time just sitting on the front porch and listening to the peaceful sounds of nature. If we make it back to the Smokies, we will definitely be staying here again!
