3 Bedroom Cabin in Murphy

Welcome to Babblebrook Lodge, expertly management by Great Mountain Cabin Rentals in Murphy NC.This is a lovely, peaceful log cabin in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. It has 3 full bathrooms and 3 bedrooms, as well as a futon that can sleep 1 more. 2 bedrooms and bathrooms are on the first floor you enter from the driveway, only climbing 5 steps.
The light-and-bright home has an all wood interior and exterior with a vaulted ceiling great room, and a small but nice mountain view visible from the decks and one of the bedrooms. You gaze at the mountain from the guest bedroom window throughout the spring and summer. If it's cold, just click the remote and the natural stone fireplace springs to life with warmth and a dancing light to cozy up to.
The ground floor (wood walls, tile floor) has a large game room with an air hockey table, a pool table, and a pacman machine. A bedroom, bathroom, and spare room with futon here have so much privacy that they can feel like they have their own place. This floor is built into the side of the hill making it always cool in the summer. There is a workstation here which you can place in front of the large window--listen to the brook and birds singing while you work, watch the birds flock to the bird feeder just outside during mini-breaks.
But don't spend all of your time inside! The house has 2 large decks, one of which is partially screened, with a total of 6 chairs and a triple swing. 2 of the chairs in the screened-in area are top-quality gliders.
And then there's the best feature of the property: the backyard! I have put extensive work into it, installing stone steps leading to two separate stone seating areas with top quality, very comfortable seats (one is a triple glider bench), 2 hammocks, and 2 fire pits. These sit beside the mesmerizing stream running through the property (which you can also hear burbling from the deck). Make a fire in the natural rock fire pit in the secluded sitting area by the bend in the stream, toast marshmallows and listen to the crackling of the fire harmonize with the brook's tiny waterfall, or take the most restful nap of your life in the hammocks there.
I have planted fig, apple, chestnut, and peach trees, and blueberry bushes, while muscadine grape vines and blackberry bushes grow up an enormous tree. Pick any fruit that's ready!
The cabin has a large, paved driveway with automatic lights, excellent cell reception (at least for Verizon), and blazingly fast wifi (over 100 Mbps) that reaches all the way down to the stream. Do your work in the hammock, surf the web in the seating areas, or livestream by the real stream to make your friends jealous!
This is a pet friendly cabin and there is a $50 pet fee that will be added to your stay if you bring a pet. Please let us know your intention on bringing a pet in advanced.
You will be required to sign a contract and provide a copy of your drivers license.
About the Neighborhood:
The cabin lies nestled in Nantahala National Forest in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. It is an excellent base for day-trips. Many quaint and lovely towns are in the area (Blue Ridge, GA is only 30 minutes away) and 3 wonderful cities are within a 2 hour drive: Atlanta, GA; Asheville, NC; and Chattanooga, TN. There are more opportunities to hike, kayak, or tube than you could do in a month. The Hiwassee River runs through the neighborhood, making fishing, tubing, or kayaking a snap. A fairly easy nature trail runs along the river, canopied by trees, just a 5 minute walk from the cabin's front door.
The neighborhood, Highland Creek, has all paved, easy to drive roads and a pavilion on the Hiwassee River which you are welcome to use as the river access point. Lowe's, Walmart, and Ingles supermarket are all within a 10 minute drive.
*Any stays over 28 days will incur additional cleaning fees.

Summary: The cabin and property is enchanting. Perfectly anointed and comfortable to just stay inside. The weather was unexpectedly freezing, but the host was so gracious to allow us to extend our departure time to troubleshoot what to do when the roads closed on our day to leave.

Summary: We were pleased with our stay overall, the cabin and the area was nice and quiet. Loved the game room for the kids! We were able to watch deer cross the backyard at the creek. The bed in the master bedroom was one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. My only complaint is the lack of communication with the property manager prior to arriving. I reached out several times with questions and was only answered once.

Summary: Wonderful stay at the cabin with family for Christmas! We appreciated the Christmas tree to set the festive mood and the cabin was great! Dog friendly and beds provided for them too! We Loved the outdoor furniture, screened porch and relaxing views. Great birding, on the warmer winter days, saw deer walking through daily as well. Well stocked kitchen with pots, pans and everything we needed to cook Christmas dinner! Plenty of space for three couples as well! Great communication as well, no issues at all!

Summary: We had a fantastic time at this cabin and in Murphy NC! The cabin is a very short walk to the Hiawassee river's edge and also the neighborhood lodge and river access point. Lots of amenities, two fire pits, a screened in back porch and gas fireplace in the living room. The cabin just felt like home. We hated to have to leave. We will definitely be back one day!

Summary: The cabin was absolutely beautiful and we had everything we needed. The bedrooms were cute and comfortable. Our favorite part was getting to roast hot dogs and marshmallows in the fire pit! 10/10 would stay here again!

Summary: We rented this home for two weeks to stay while on a work rotation, coincidentally during the largest hurricane to ever hit the region. Thank heaven there was no damage in the local area, but the host did an excellent job of checking on us before and after the storm to make sure we were ok and had all we needed. Home was super clean and well cared-for. They allow pets, but the ONLY evidence of such were the provided dog beds- the place wasn’t at all torn up or stinky. We will definitely return if work again has us down there!!

Summary: Beautiful setting with large outdoor area to enjoy. We enjoyed the frequent visits of deer on the property. The large screened in deck was great to enjoy outdoor cooking or relaxing evenings. We had our grandkids stay and the game room was a big hit with them when we had some rainy days. Excellent location with easy access.

Summary: Great house with a lot of amenities. Great location. Clean on the inside. Had toiletries, towels, sheets, blankets. Ceiling fans, baday, games. Only issues was no cabinet space for your incoming food and internet would cut out some. 9.5/10 star review. Would return.

Summary: We enjoyed our stay. The house worked perfectly with 3 bedrooms/3 baths for 3 couples on a Folk School trip. Only suggestion we would have is to have warmer light bulbs in the kitchen/family room area or more individual lights. We found it hard to strike a balance of comfortable lighting for aging eyes.

Summary: Super close to town and in a great neighborhood, this cabin is well appointed and has everything you’d need for a stay. The basement gaming area is a great distraction and the beautiful back yard is great. It was a bit too cold for us to enjoy it, but will def be back in summer!
