Secluded Setting Conveniently located close to downtown.

Yes, very clean

Had everything I needed. Stayed 3 nights with no problems. Clean and private. will be back in a few weeks for another 3 nights.

Just right for 2 people.

Host was very nice and accommodating. Cabin was a great value for the cost and close enough to the town of Murphy without the traffic. There was coffee and firewood. A big plus!

The cabin was perfectly tucked away but not far from town, and came with anything you’d need! The hosts are so gracious and welcoming. They made us feel comfortable and safe. The views and surrounding nature were beautiful as well. Our hosts really went above and beyond though and really made the trip! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Will definitely be coming back

Easy to find, simple and comfortable, we enjoyed our 3 nights there...

All the hype is true. Both Randy and Janice are excellent host. The property though small is immaculate and super comfortable. I loved the abundance of windows and the wooded views all around. The property is super secluded with an assurance that the hosts live near by. Cell phone signal was strong once you get to the cabin. Please remember that navigation is inaccurate and will take you to a road that is not drivable but it is not host’s fault. They have clearly given the directions and they are super easy to follow. You do not need a special vehicle to get to the cabin and it is close to downtown as well. I highly recommend The Owl’s Nest for unwinding and relaxing for few days. Thank you Randy and Janice for providing such a cool place.

The cabin was very clean and up dated. Beautiful views from back porch and nice wooded area to walk and explore nature but still close to town. Host was easy to contact.

Just as described. Peaceful and just what I needed. 5 stars!

This was the perfect little cabin setting for us - tucked away on its own crest, surrounded by woods. Amenities covered everything we could need. Loved the fire pit. Conveniently located to restaurants and groceries, while feeling secluded. Check in and check out simple. Janice was very responsive with any questions and they were wonderful hosts all the way around.

Everything and I mean everything. Perfect place to stay. Our hostess was perfect. She was very accommodating.. I promise you, you won’t be disappointed staying there. First day there we got to see and deers. It was great!

It was very cozy and had everything needed to enjoy our stay.

We thoroughly enjoy staying in this cabin and are pleased to be returning for our second consecutive Thanksgiving. We appreciate the attention to detail demonstrated by the owner. The only drawback is the fire alarm's proximity to the oven, as it can be triggered by cooking activities. Nonetheless, it's a lovely little cabin.

The owl cottage was so cozy and a great place to just decompress in nature. The home had everything we needed and it was such a lovely, relaxing stay. Thank you

The host was very welcoming and the deer each more was so awesome to see. The town was amazing. Definitely will be back

Cozy, peaceful cabin with everything you need! This was my second stay here and I will be back. Out in the woods with wildlife all around but also conveniently close to town and other towns. Easily accessible road and entry system. Great hosts!!

The cabin was perfect. And that fold out couch is the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on. Easy to understand and follow instructions on how to get in, temperature control and check out. Hot water on demand - no waiting for the shower or the sink to warm up. Cabin is very clean, kitchen is well equipped. We didn’t cook this trip but if I decide to be a vendor at the John C Campbell Fall Festival again next year, I’ll be back. Randy and Janice are very accommodating and easily accessible, although we had no problems during our stay. And these two old ladies felt safe there way back in the woods (we both used to camp when we were a lot younger). Thank you for sharing this wonderful little cabin with us. PS - there are quite a few really tasty restaurants near by. We had a different cuisine each night!

Created the peaceful escape into the woods I was seeking. Hosts were extremely helpful and kind.

I was so impressed that the host called to tell us that we could come early as the cabin had been cleaned and was ready for us.Very well equipped house, peaceful and charming. Great recommendation for dinner. Wonderful new mattress!!! Watched the deer every night come through the property. Just what we needed, escape from everyday life.

First off the place is awesome! We were at the Owl's Nest for 1 week with a trailer and a bike. There is not a lot of maneuvering space but we were able to make it work. The hosts are great! Really facilitated our stay. The cabin is cozy but we had everything we needed and more. Randy spreads feed almost every day so you are sure to see deer and turkey feeding where the fire pit is located. Cabin is secluded but the owners live down the street (out of view) in case you need anything. We definitely enjoyed our stay and will be going back....

The cabin was Serene, a Perfect size, and more than cozy. It was a perfect place to come to at the end of the day to relax and reload. Mrs. Costello was a wonderful host, thoughtful, considerate, and responsive to our needs.

What a perfect cabin this is. So cozy and comfortable with everything you need to relax and unwind. We spent a weekend here enjoying the scenery, the small hiking trail and the visiting turkeys that would stroll through the property. The cabin is clean, quiet and nicely tucked away by itself. The kitchen is fully stocked to prepare meals and there's an abundance of towels in the bathroom to choose from. Janice is a wonderful host...very friendly, communicative and helpful. Although the cabin is secluded, it's nice to know that she's not too far down the road in case something is needed. I can't think of anything I'd change about this wonderful cabin.

Cabin was cozy and well stocked. There was plenty of information about area restaurants and attractions, as well as instructions on using the AC, TV and washer/dryer. The hosts thought of everything. Would recommend this place to friends and family.

Great scenery enjoyed the wildlife

My new favorite place to stay while attending the nearby John C. Campbell Folk School.

My partner and I were very very happy and fortunate to have found the Owl's Nest. Janice and Randy were both lovely and communicative, especially during the storms. They took very good care of us with regards to set up, even going as far as putting out corn and seeds to attractive the wildlife in the morning (SO MANY turkeys, it was great.) Murphy had plenty for us to do and see, and Big Nick's was some of the best barbecue I've ever had. We both had a lovely time, and a delightfully quiet and private New Year. I suspect we'll be back!

Quiet, quaint, cozy cabin atop a mountain knoll. Private yet close to shopping and restaurants. Easy access to highway. Enjoyed watching the wildlife from porch. The bird feeders had lots of activity. Lighted stone fire pit area. Gas grill on porch. Cabin was comfortable and just the right size for my husband and I. Can’t wait for next visit.

The place is just beautiful, great to spend sometime away from the daily routine. Location and accessibility is great. We are planning on returning.

Just what we needed. After dealing with Hurricane Helene

My wife and I were in town taking classes at the Folk School, and this cabin was a lovely retreat. It was cozy without us feeling on top of each other, well stocked with toiletries, dishes, laundry, etc., and gave us that secluded mountain feeling while still being conveniently located near main roads. We would gladly stay here again, and highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for their next getaway!

I absolutely loved this cabin and its location, it is super clean & cozy and has everything you could need for your stay. Very conveniently located. Gorgeous wooded area with perfect porch, I had a magnificent experience witnessing about 15-20 deer about the property this morning around sunrise! Downtown Murphy has so many great shops and restaurants! Downtown

Very clean, Google needs to give better directions. Owners very friendly easy to talk to. Enjoyed my stay.

Great place can’t wait to stay there again

Everything was nice and clean, would definitely stay again

Clean property, very pleasant, loved sitting on the porch and listening to the rain. We're contemplating visiting this property again. We recommend this property to anyone wanting to get away and just have peace and quiet. Close to town and restaurants, etc. if one wanted to do that, but also close to plenty of hiking and outdoorsy things .

First the host Randy and Janice are the greatest!!! Very nice and comfortable place to stay, secluded, quiet, easy to get around in, very close to town, and plenty of places to eat and shop, quaint little village, our favorite of all times. We are up in age. We just love it there. This was our 3 time staying here and hope to have more!

Really great comfortable little cottage in the woods. Amazing owners and close to town.

This property is everything & more! Secluded in the woods is this little hidden gem. The owners are fantastic & are available when & if they are needed. The beautiful wildlife that comes by is amazing as well as the breathtaking views. They have everything you need & more in this little cozy cabin. We felt so comfortable & wished we could have stayed longer. We will most definitely be back!!!
