Description from owner
Description
You can see North Carolina, Georgia & Tennessee From The Retreat Cabin!
SPECIAL! I'm running a special from Monday June 29 with a departure on Monday July 13....Because of the Coronavirus cleaning policy I'm only taking reservations for two weeks (or more). Please email for the prices for those two weeks..
Coronavirus Update: Murphy, NC has lifted restrictions on vacation rentals, hotels, shops and restaurants. We have decided to reopen our Retreat cabin for rentals and are putting in place the following precautions, guidelines and commitments to our guests. For the foreseeable future our cabin will have 3 days vacancy on either side of each rental for our cleaners and guests safety. Because of that, until further notice we will only accpt 1 week rentals.
Let me be clear: This house is the bomb diggety! My Cabin is "artsy, crafts, cozy" with tasteful furnishings and personal touches throughout. It's perfect, it really is!
The Retreat Above The Clouds in Murphy, NC features a screened in porch that is carpeted and feels like an extension of the living/dining area. The porch has killer views of Murphy, Tennessee and Georgia, a dining table for outside dining, 2 rockers and a lounge chair. I guarantee you, weather permitting, you'll spend all your time out there. Right below the porch is an open deck taking full advantage of the ever changing mountain views. It's glorious. The deck has a great swing, picnic table, lounge chair and gas grill. The cabin is perched on the side of a cliff and the cabin itself is not childproof, so we don't allow children here at the Retreat.
UNLESS of course, you'd like to cozy up on one of three recliners or the oversized couch to watch a movie on the flat screen TV with the Direct TV extended viewing package (Choice Extra Classic and HBO premium) or read a good book sitting next to the stone fireplace with a remote controlled gas burning insert.
The kitchen is a newly redesign kitchen will make you feel right at home. It's small but everything you need to make the perfect meal is there for you. Coffee maker, crock pot, toaster, blender, some spices, micro, dishwasher and whatever else you may need. There is a half bath on the main floor as well.
On the second floor are two homey furnished bedrooms. The stairs are steep so if your not good on stairs, contact me as I have other options. The master bedroom has an super comfortable king size bed, lots of closet and dresser space and a flat screen TV that's mounted near the ceiling for perfect "in bed TV viewing". The guest bedroom has a queen bed, a dresser and Trigger, my very cool rocking horse that I am in the process of re-doing. Both bedrooms have great views from the large windows. The full bath is upstairs as well. It's small but super cute.
We have an iron and ironing board, washer and dryer, central air and heat....the whole shebang.
Our location is fantastic. I'm not kidding. From the wildlife to the views, you will feel that you are miles from no-where, when in effect you’ll be only two miles from downtown, 4 miles from Wal-Mart, and 7.5 miles from John Campbell Folk School. We're 5 miles from the new Harrah's Cherokee Casino, but again, you'll feel like your out in the woods on our very private and exclusive mountain. While there are about 10 homes on our private mountain, there is no one directly on either side of the cabin. All the windows, sliders, porch and deck face out toward the back so the view is of the mountain ranges....and again; At the "Retreat", being outdoors is where it's at...
I have spent 6 years fixing up the "Retreat" and I've put my heart and soul in it. It's one of my most favorite places. I think it will be yours too.
I give short notice discounts (booking 7 days or less before arrival).
Again: Remember this isn't a cabin that is suitable for children (I'm sorry, I have two boys so it's not personal) and there are stairs to get to the bedrooms so this is not a cabin for persons with limited mobility.

Response from the owner Thank you so much for staying at the Retreat, we just loved having you there. I loved, loved, loved the pictures of the snow that you sent me! I have looked at them over and over because I've never seen that much snow on our mountain. I'm going to keep one eye on the weather this year and hope to go up if we get another big snow like that. Please come back to see us, I sent a card to you with a $25 discount; just remind me when you plan your next visit. Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year! Joanie

Response from the owner Oh Thank you Tanya for the beautiful cabins you left for me and the card . Also, My cleaner was so touched that you left her a card and chocolates.....that was SO nice of you. I wish you had let me know about wanting walking trails. There is a beautiful Murphy River Walk Park just 3 miles from the cabin and the paths along the river are wonderful. A full circuit is probably about 3 or 4 miles and it takes you all along the river & into a beautiful wooded area and if you go all the way to the Depot you can circle back through town, which is how I go. Next time you go up there you should give it a try....I think you would love it. Thanks so much for leaving the cabin so nice. Please come back again.
