    We spent the week of Christmas 2025 in this beautiful home, and this place was absolutely perfect. It was much larger than we expected, with plenty of space to spread out. The beds were comfortable, the place was very clean, and the owners were very communicative from day one to make sure everything was good.It had everything we needed, and the location couldn’t have been better—close to town and all that Murphy has to offer. We definitely hope to stay again when we return the area, which we do very often.

    The house is perfectly cozy and spacious. We were able to enjoy every inch of the property, from the large eat in deck with grill to the quiet front porch area where we watched the deer come out to graze. Kitchen is well appointed and full of all we needed to make meals. It was a wonderful stay and we’d recommend it highly to anyone looking to feel that country vibe without being too far from town.

    Home was clean and had plenty of room for two couples. The circular driveway was very nice for entering and leaving on motorcycles. David was very pleasant and responsive when we had an issue with the heat. He quickly responded and resolved the issue. It’s very close to town as well as the casino. We enjoyed our stay in Murphy and would highly recommend David’s home. We would definitely reserve again.

    We stayed for four weeks to escape the Florida heat. The house is wonderful and had everything we needed for an extended stay. The comfy king bed is upstairs with an ensuite bath with two sinks and fluffy towels. There is a nice tower fan for air circulation and white noise. The main level has a large wrap around porch and the mountain view from the two rocking chairs was peaceful. There is a large flat screen smart TV in the living room. There was a bottle of wine to welcome us. The kitchen was well equipped and we had no trouble eating most of our meals in. Lots of pans, utensils and dishes/glasses. There is a large gas grill on the porch and a firepit in the back yard. The basement had a living area, ping pong table, darts and door to the large, unfenced back yard. There is a full bathroom on each of the three levels and a gas fireplace in the living room that we did not use. The owner was very responsive to any issues that arose. The neighborhood was quiet and wooded and we saw so many deer every day. We really enjoyed our stay here. It is about five minutes into Murphy which has grocery stores, Walmart and a compact downtown area with lots of shops, restaurants and breweries/wineries.
