Such a perfect and private place to celebrate my 30th birthday with my loved ones. The home has a great layout for a girls trip and so many sweet spots to hang out on the porch. The location is also amazing for nature adventures!

Top of the Mountain Getaway with Extreme Views!

JennaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Stunning views! If you are wanting to get away and just relax this is an amazing option while still being close to Bryson City where all the white water rafting is. Very peaceful and wonderful home! Main bed was very comfortable, great kitchen for cooking and our dogs enjoyed it as well. Would definitely come back.

Mountain Laurel Cabin, Pond, Folk School Dish Wifi

MaxRating, 5 stars3 months ago
The cabin has a cozy feeling and is located nice and secluded at the end of a neighborhood, with plenty of privacy. Due to the weather we did not get to enjoy the outside but the bonfire looks like a great place to sit outside with family or friends. When booking, we didn’t realize the upstairs bedroom does not have a door, although this did not bother us because it was just my wife and I. We would go definitely come back here. Host was friendly and easy to communicate with.

Star Creek Cabin - Murphy, NC Mountain Retreat

CindyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We have stayed before, and it was perfect. This time the floors weren't clean, and I am guessing it was the housekeeper that left behind a childs tablet and scooter laying on the deck, we left the tablet on top of the fridge with a note left on the fridge. I definitely recommend a safety gate at the top of the stairs, and better child proofing.

Modern Cabin with 360° Blue Ridge Mountain Views

GlenRating, 5 stars6 days ago
This place has a great view of Andrews! It is up high but access is easy. We enjoyed sitting on the deck at night looking down at the lights and enjoying the stars. We loved the open kitchen-living room area with all of the windows - did i mention it has a great view?! Unfortunately an evening shower kept us from gathering around the fire pit. Andrews is a quaint little town with great restaurants, breweries, and things to do. Highly recommended!

Couple’s Cabin w/ Hot Tub, Outdoor Fireplace

KacieRating, 5 stars1 day ago
What a great find! This place was awesome! All of the details and the space was very well thought out and beautiful. The back porch and bathroom are the main stars of the stay! Host was very pro-active and communicated everything effectively. Location is perfect-about 10 minutes to downtown Blue Ridge and less than 5 minutes to Mercier Orchard (must visit)! I would highly recommend this place and we hope to make it back one day :)

Modern Glass Cabin near trails, wine, & Dahlonega

TravisRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Unbelievable cabin!! I took my wife here to celebrate her 40th and reconnect from a busy life with three kids and opposite schedules. Words are not enough to describe how amazing our stay was. Farm fresh eggs, a fire ready to start, and even a special literary surprise were just a few of the little touches that brought our stay to another level. Thomas and Mallory were always available, checked in on us to make sure our stay was smooth and provided wonderful recommendations for the area. We hated leaving but cannot wait to return one day!

Luxe & Scenic Escape: Hot Tub ~ Breathtaking Views

BoRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Our stay in Mineral Bluff was nothing short of amazing! The home was beautifully decorated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The setup was perfect, offering both comfort and functionality, but the outdoor living space truly stole the show—it was fantastic! My wife and I book Airbnbs 4-5 times a year, and while we've enjoyed many, this is the first one we'd absolutely rebook without hesitation. The experience was made even better by Gary, the host, who was great—extremely responsive if needed and provided crystal-clear directions, making it effortless to find the house. From the thoughtful design to the seamless experience, everything exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended!

Upscale Lodge, Modern with Deck and Fireplaces

LandriaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Overall we had an amazing stay! The place was lovely with great views. The hot tub was very nice and very clean! All the beds were very comfortable! We had a couple minor issues during our stay that were addressed promptly. The water and ice dispenser from the refrigerator door were not working. Host supplied water jug and offered to pick up bags of ice for us. We had sporadic electrical issues. The host offered to send electrician that night but we opted to just go into town to eat that night and she was going to send an electrician the next day after we checked out. It was nice to have shampoo/ conditioner/body wash/ lotion in all bathrooms if you needed. About 30 minutes to get into town from the house. Blue Ridge downtown has great restaurants and shopping 😊

If you have an accident and you spill the soup on the stove… she’ll try to collect for a new stove and the whole pan set… even after paying her extra for a deep cleaning fee of $250. Common sense out the window!!!

Mountain View, Hot Tub, Firepit + Low Cleaning Fee

ParisRating, 5 stars5 days ago
Our stay at the Jessi’s Bee House was amazing. She was extremely thoughtful in all of her instructions and even had a guide full of things to do with their locations. She was excellent at communicating with us and checked in with us before and during the trip. The place itself was very clean and so, so cozy! It is a small place, but every spot has a purpose and it didn’t feel at all cramped. She had anything we could have needed in the kitchen, plenty of towels, and so much more. It really felt like a home. Service is basically nonexistent in the area, but she made sure we knew this ahead of time. Google maps will also take you down the wrong driveway so the place can be confusing to get to, but she also makes sure you know this ahead of time. Highly recommend!

Your guide to Murphy

All About Murphy

Located in the Appalachian Mountains, in the southwestern corner of North Carolina, the small town of Murphy is surrounded by three national parks in three different states and sits at the junction of the Hiwassee and Valley Rivers. Due to its strategic location, Murphy is a historic town with deep native heritage, with many of its sites mentioned in Cherokee culture and mythology.

Apart from its profound history, western North Carolina’s lush forest landscapes are one of the main attractions in Murphy. More than 500,000 acres of land and Appalachian Mountain range cover the Nantahala National Forest near Murphy, making it the largest national forest in the state. A variety of oak and sycamore trees, and dozens of less common species create a natural canopy over the forest, where the sunlight only pokes through briefly in the middle of the day.

Locally, visitors can take in the historic buildings in the town’s center, or even wander through downtown to the small shops selling handmade crafts, antique decor, clothing, and more. Each store is housed in one of the town’s old, original brick buildings.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Murphy

You can expect overcast skies and occasional rainfall throughout the year in this town surrounded by nature. During the summer, warm, humid weather settles in. Despite a bit of humidity, a sunny summer day is one of the best times to explore the Appalachian Mountains at the Nantahala National Forest. Fall and spring, in contrast, are cool and comfortable. Visitors can wander downtown to the shops set in historic buildings with seasonal wildflowers out front or head out on one of the many hiking trails nearby.

Winter is a short season, but it’s cold and usually the rainiest time of year. Despite the colder, wetter weather, hiking the Piney Knob Trail System in winter is a great way to see flowing streams and cascading waterfalls. The newly paved roads permit easy access, and once all is done, visitors can head back downtown to warm up at the various restaurants adorned in holiday lights during this time of year.


Top things to do in Murphy

Murphy River Walk

The four-mile Murphy River Walk near the town center is a great place to hike, and also bike-friendly. The trail begins at Konehete Park and runs alongside the Valley and Hiwassee Rivers with small, overwater footbridges running over them. Large, bushy trees hang over the sides of the trail, giving some coverage as you walk or bike. The Murphy River Walk ends at downtown Murphy, where you can sit down at a restaurant or shop local after your journey.

Cherokee Historical Museum

The Cherokee Historical Museum details the life of a Native American Cherokee in Murphy during the 1830s. Visitors to the museum are greeted by a soapstone carved into the shape of a sea turtle, which pertains to just one of the many Cherokee legends that can be read about during the trip here. Inside the museum walls is a collection of more than 2,000 relics and dozens of art exhibits that help portray the Cherokee culture and tell the story of their past in western North Carolina.

Nantahala National Forest

The Nantahala National Forest is home to more than half a million acres of forest landscape in western North Carolina. Visitors can choose from trailheads of varying difficulty, with the most difficult trek reaching the highest point in the forest at nearly 6,000 feet. One of the park’s highlights is its waterfalls. You can take the half-mile hike to the 75-foot Dry Falls, where the water cascades over a bluff into the river, allowing you to walk under the falls while keeping dry.
