Views are marvelous! Heated pool and hot tub were delightful. House was beautifully furnished and kitchen was well-stocked with tools and spices. Excellent communication with property owner.
We had such a wonderful time celebrating a birthday here with friends. The house is lovely and had plenty of space for everyone to spend time together comfortably. The highlight for us was definitely the outdoors—the mountain views are wonderful, and we spent most of our time enjoying the pool and hot tub. Definitely got lucky with some out-of-season warm, sunny weather.I also really appreciated the host's communication. Scott was responsive and helpful throughout the entire process, which made planning easy. It was a fantastic spot for a getaway, and we would love to come back!

Had a very relaxing week hanging by the pool enjoying the mountain view. Nice house with plenty of room and lots of windows to enjoy the scenery. My grandson loved seeing the deer that showed up every day! It's located on a dead end road, so it's very peaceful.
Best pool and lake view! So nice, we've come twice!
Our second visit and the view over the lake draws us in every time. Comfy deck furniture and lots of pool toys. Location convenient to groceries, restaurants and outdoor activities. Don't miss the donuts at Rare Bird Emporium.
The view is amazing, the pool and hottub were the perfect temperature. Check in was easy. Scott was great with communication. The kitchen wqs well stocked with dishes to use. The beds were very comfortable. It is a great place to get away with the family and relax.
Great mountain property with beautiful views. Especially enjoyed the large porch area with swing and rocking chairs. Host was very accommodating and I would highly recommend the property.
Had a blast at this property. Pool was awesome! The deer were plentiful & beautiful in this area. We had a wonderful time & would recommend this property. The owner answered all my questions in a timely manner prior to our visit so our check-in was smooth.
We loved our time at Scott's place in Murphy. Such a beautiful home with a wonderful view. We spent literally hours playing in the pool. We would love to return again next year.
I can’t say enough how much we enjoyed our week at the Cactus Cabin!! Everything from the house, to the view, to the town was perfect for our getaway. We had 6 adults and 2 tweens and the house met our needs perfectly. Thank you for a great stay!! We will be back!
We loved the views! Scott was so easy to work with and answered all my questions quickly! We missed getting to use the pool but plan on staying here again! Very spacious and the porches and outdoor eating was enjoyable!
My husband and I really enjoyed our weeklong stay at "Catus Cabin". The overall views and sunsets are truly amazing! The home is very nice! We grilled, swam in the private pool, hung out by the firepit, saw so much wildife, and just chilled. It was perfect! We also went into downtown Murphy, NC for some local eats and shopping. Nice place to visit!!
Beautiful home, we had a great time. The kids loved the hot tub. We enjoyed the fireplace. This home is the friendliest and best stocked home we've ever rented. We loved it. Kudos to the owner!!
My mom, baby Bella (mini Aussiedoodle), and I had a fantastic experience! The owner was communicative and the house had everything we needed. Being close to downtown Murphy while still enjoying some seclusion was the perfect balance. We definitely plan on coming back!
A great family vacation, with my son's and their families. Grandkids 4-ages 3-13 had a great time making memories in the pool, watching sunsets, counting deer, making s'mores and fishing locally. Will be back! Took off a star for wasps around poolstarwap
We enjoyed our stay. The deck was awesome and the views even better. Not far from town and the road wasn’t bad getting there. Loved the rocking chairs and swing on the deck. Had our meals utilizing the picnic table. The walk to the lake is a little hard for a couple of them that tried it, but we didn’t come for that. Master bedroom is very nice.
Beautiful place with something for everyone. Great for large groups too. Close to the Casino if that is what you like. One mile from Downtown Murphy. Perfect location! Love the Pool and the Hot Tub. The covered pavilions is my favorite to avoid the sun. Deer in the yard everyday! Thanks Scott for letting us stay in your beautiful home again.
