Picturesque Murphy Cabin w/ Fire Pit & Views!

• Wonderful Getaway

  5/5

  Our family of 6 booked a long weekend recently and we are still talking about what a wonderful time we had. We are very busy with 4 littles and it was so nice to have a slow time to relax and just be together. We enjoyed everything about the cabin. It was super clean, well equipped and even decorated for Christmas, which was a pleasant surprise. The views were spectacular and we could not get enough. We enjoyed both fireplaces outside as well as the blackstone.

  My only recommendation would be for some instructions about cleaning and seasoning the blackstone after use. It’s obvious that people are using it but it was in rough shape when we went to cook our first meal on it. I spent a good hour or more scraping it down, taking care of the rust and reseasoning it to a point that we could use it.

  Thank you so much for an incredible stay. We hope to be back one day!

• Not as advertised

  3/5

  Cabin was clean, decks were dirty. Looked like they had not been cleaned at all. The fire pit had no gas so couldn’t be used unless you take the tank to get refilled. The grill was very dirty. When I spoke to seller he said we had to heat the grill and put water on it and scrub it. Not good. The chairs were dirty with dirty cushions. Also when we went inside the cabin there were only 3 clothes hangers. When I called the owner right away to let him know only 3 hangers and his reply was “I had about 40 there. I don’t know what year that was but there were only 3 in the main floor bedroom closet and I did find 2 more down in the bottom of closet which made a total of 5. I thought someone would get more hangers to us but never heard from him again. We just didn’t unpack. Also the closet upstairs in master bedroom the closet was locked and couldn’t be used. Only closet was on main floor. Very inconvenient. Pictures of both decks were not as advertised. We really didn’t use either. Not very inviting. I would not stay here again. The skillets in kitchen were not usable.

• Beautiful view

  3/5

  Property was very nice and beds were comfortable. We did find out after we booked the property that in order to use the firepot, we needed to bring our own starter wood. That was not listed on the post. Also, we wanted to use the fire table as well, and apparently there wasnt any gas left in the tank, nor was there any flickers to light it. Owner stated there were flickers in the kitchen, but we didnt find any and the ones left outside were empty. Overrall great weekend, but i expected more with the amenties listed that we couldnt use. Also, there was not a single packet of hummingbird mix to add to the feeders.

  Manager's Response:

  The homeowners were surprised to read your review, as they are accustomed to providing 5-star experiences, and would like to clarify the following:
  -We're glad to hear you enjoyed the beautiful views, comfortable beds, and relaxing ambiance of the cabin.
  -Firewood is provided for the firepit, but guests should bring their own fire starter if needed, as kindling is not included. This hasn’t been a request in the past.
  -The gas fire pit was stocked with a full tank and a spare, though it seems the lighters in the cabin may have run out of fluid. As discussed, we were happy to reimburse you for purchasing a lighter.
  -Hummingbird feed isn’t provided during this season since hummingbirds aren’t typically around, but regular bird feed is available to attract local wildlife.
  We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests. Thanks for taking the time to leave your review.

• Really nice fall getaway

  5/5

  We came up for the annual pumpkin chunkin and had a blast. The owners care about their rental. It is one of the nicer places we have stayed in for years. I would come back in a heart beat.
