Was absolutely perfect. The house had everything and more to make our stay like a home away from home. We went to fish along the River as we are new to fly fishing. It was the perfect environment to practice as the River was about 2-4 ft deep and easy to navigate with waders. The River is wide enough for begginers. We caught several fish just outside the cabin and several more wading the River. Bob was a great host and responded immediately for the few questions I had. We can’t wait to come back

Annual Sister Trip

Murphy holds a special place in mine and my sisters' hearts...this is our mother's birthplace and where we spent decades of summer vacations. This was our 3rd fall at this property...very clean and well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Sitting by the river affords much peace and reflection. Highly recommend this property; good Lord willing, hope to return next year🙏

Best Quiet Fishing Retreat EVER!

Pictures are accurate… but do not provide all the information necessary to fully evaluate this vacation home. So let’s begin: - location is perfect for trout fishing and amateur fly fishing. I have always liked the idea of waking up with a good cup of coffee and casting from the deck. You can do that here. There are a couple of holes within easy reach with waders. Of course, experienced fly fishers have the entire area to explore. Fish everywhere. - every aspect of this home demonstrates the clear attention to detail and quality craftsmanship throughout. We felt like packing everything up and taking it home lol. A LOT of love went into this property. - the owner is responsive and attentive. - Top 5 things that caught our attention: 1. Master bathroom is the best I have ever seen. Like showering in a rain forrest. The mirrors are heated. Wow. 2. The great room provides easy access to the entire home, and there are ample places for privacy and relaxation throughout. 3. The three decks are divided… one for BBQ (three pitmaster quality grills), a superb screened in porch, and a deck for the master suite. 4. The kitchen is well appointed with everything that is needed to cook at a gourmet level. The coffee bar is supports your favorite percolated coffee or Keurig. 5. We did not see or hear another human being. But we did see fox, many deer, unbelievable bird life, and the fish we caught lol. Only minor issue: narrow gravel roads to get there.

Sooo great.

The place was absolutely great. The bedrooms were comfortable, the kitchen made it super easy for all of us to hang out and prepare dinner. The patio was super relaxing and having the river right in the back yard was beautiful. We will definitely be coming back with friends, family, and just as a couple to enjoy this beautiful place.

Love this place!

This is one of our favorite places to stay when we vacation! The house & location are perfect. Close enough to shops, restaurants & things to do but secluded & quiet enough to get away from everything and unwind by the river. We didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to get back!

This is a cozy property that I would highly recommend for families wanting a mountain vacation. We had a group of 4, with the cabin would comfortably sleep 6. It was wonderful to have a fire and sit on the swing while listening to the creek. Also, this is the first rental we've had where the kitchen was stocked above and beyond anything you would need to cook a meal. Also nice gas and wood fireplaces. That's great! Clean and cozy, would return!

Cool weather

My husband, adult daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful house. So did our dog, Kelbi! Everything is as stated, if not better. Cozy house leaves nothing to be desired. Wonderful beds, tvs, cookware, fire pits and fishing right in the back yard. It truly has all the comforts of home and then some. Murphy is a cute town and we were close enough to drive to the Bavarian themed town of Helen, Ga. We hope to return in the summer. Thanks, Bob, for everything!

Wedding in Murphy

My niece picked the Hackney Warehouse in Murphy as her wedding venue. We had over 100 people coming, booking cabins all over Murphy. I stayed here before and totally enjoyed the river and surrounding area. When I saw that it was available, I picked it up quickly. The house is furnished extremely well, is very relaxing, close to town, and great for winding down in the evenings.

Perfect place and time to spend with family.

We had a wonderful time!!! The cabin has everything and more of what you would need. Bob was a great host in everyway. We loved the kitchen! There was enough room for lots of cooks LOL. The patios where so enjoyable spent a lot of time there. The river is fantastic!! My husband loved the Blackstone! All outdoor cooking equipment was in perfect condition and had propane, which is hard to find in a rental. We always cook our own meals and it was super to have dinner by the river. We really enjoyed the family pictures in the hall and all the fun they have there. All beds were very comfy which is a major thing for us. All I can say its a great place! Thank you Jan and Karl

Awesome stay on the river!!

We loved the rental. It was very clean and fresh. Sat by the river in the screened porch and just loved the house. The surrounding area was a pleasant surprise. Murphy is a small town that anything you want. Clean and well kept town. We hiked, walked the river walk and did some canoeing in the area. House had everything and more. We cooked the entire time except for the last night. Awesome outside cooking accessories! Smart tvs in every room. Owners were great, but didn’t have to communicate with them during the stay because there were no issues. The only mention of anything negative but not really, Was the furniture. Very soft and not easy to get in and out of for a few of our older travelers. I didn’t really care because I spent most of the time sitting on the wood rockers on the porch. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and we look forward to visiting again!!
