The McKenzie is our three bedroom cottage. It is the property's original 1933 vintage farmhouse that has been remodeled, expanded, and modernized. As with all of our accommodations, it is fully heated and air conditioned for your personal comfort.

Please be aware that our base rate is for double occupancy. Any guests over two need to be added prior to your reservation request.

There are two full bedrooms with queen size beds. There's a queen-size sofa-bed in the media room providing a third sleeping area if needed. The media room has a 55 TV with Roku and Blu Ray player with internet access for Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, etc.

This cottage is the perfect place for the larger family or group. The wood-burning stove keeps things cozy and warm on those cool autumn evenings. We provide the firewood. All you have to do is light the fire. We have the first one ready for you when you check in.

The county kitchen has a skylight that helps to brighten the entire area.

The inviting hot tub is on the back porch. It accommodates up to four people, with a nice view of the old horse paddock, as well as the mountains in the distance. With a little luck, you may see our resident herd of deer wander through in the morning or afternoon. We also drain and clean the hot tub after every guest leaves. We only add a couple of 1 tabs of bromine (no other chemicals) to insure a pleasant guest experience. Ask our competitors what their policy is.

We are a no contact facility. There is no need to check in. You may proceed directly to the cottage. We live on the property but we sell privacy. We are available at any time.

    My wife and I both enjoyed our stay. It was like staying with an old friend. Close to Murphy and other places, but not so close that you feel it. Saw deer every day.

    Enjoyed the cabin. Very secluded. The Host George is very nice and helpful. He made our stay very easy. When we got there door were unlocked and lights were on. I will stay there again. Recommend it. I think if you enjoy privacy then is your place to stay.

    Everything was great! Hot tub was perfect and exceptionally clean! New gas grill was nice bonus, grilled some ribeyes that gave us the feel of being at home, but that's what a VRBO is for. Don't let the old time looking rocking chairs fool you, they were very comfy. George delivered, great host, thanks again!!!
