Wonderful place

It is one of the best places we stayed at. Very clean, cozy, and has everything you think you would need. Both porches are fantastic and the hot tub is a nice addition for sure. The screened in porch in the back is also very nice. We will definitely try to stay here again!

Vacation in the Mountains

My husband and I enjoyed our stay in Murphy. The house was beautiful, and the location was peaceful. We loved relaxing in the hot tub and cooking on the grill. We were glad to be near so many outdoor activities that allowed us to enjoy being out in nature.

Absolutely loved our stay.

The pictures truly didn’t do this place justice—what a hidden gem! The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and full of charm. The hand-painted murals added such a unique and artistic touch. The setting was so peaceful and quiet, yet just a short drive to town. We spent our evenings soaking in the amazing hot tub, surrounded by breathtaking scenery. It was the perfect mix of serenity and convenience. Can’t wait to come back!

The Cozy Cottage

I can’t say enough positive things about this property. It was a cozy little house right outside of Murphy. It was in a great location close to many things to do and see. The cottage itself was clean with everything you need. My favorite spot was the back porch sipping coffee. The owner was very helpful and was quick to respond. I would stay there again.

Perfect for couples

We stayed here for a week, and it was perfect for 2 couples! We had a truck and trailer, 2 motorcycles and another vehicle and there was plenty of room to park. The house was beautiful and so clean, we loved all the little details. You can really tell the owners care and put a lot of work into this place. We did wish there was a tv in the 2nd bedroom just for night time, but wasn’t a big deal. We would definitely stay here again!

Exceeded expectations

We rented Hummingbird for a one week vacation with friends. We were amazed with this property from the thought that was put in to provide everything we needed. It was the perfect size for 4 adults. The beds were comfortable, perfect size living room so that we could all sit around and chat in the evenings. We had a total of 4 motorcycles with us plus a 20ft trailer. More than enough room. We were so happy with this rental that we are already planning to stay here next year..

This house has everything you need to the "nth" degree (There was a shoe horn by the chair in the bedroom!). Beautiful setting in the woods. Hot tub that was oh so good! Inside was immaculate. Beautiful wall art. Cutest bathrooms. Designed so perfect. Comfy beds. Pet friendly. Close to casino. Friendly neighbors. Grill... it goes on and on. You won't be disappointed!
