About this house rental
Located in the beautiful John River Gorge, between Blowing Rock and Grandfather Mountain, GLOBE VALLEY RANCH is 'where the pavement ends' and your dream vacation begins. Our family began our dream of building quaint mountain cabins with the purchase of 117 acres on the Johns River in 2005. The Johns River and the Pisgah National Forest border our property and offer a beautiful, tranquil setting to be enjoyed in all seasons!
We proudly offer our brand new 1000 square ft loft over the timber framed barn with 2 bedrooms and one bath. The loft has a BBQ and play area. We rent on a daily or weekly basis. We invite you to listen and observe the abundant wildlife on our pristine acreage and enjoy total relaxation on the deck that overlooks 8 acres cleared on the Johns River. You may also enjoy a hike down by the Johns River to 'wet a hook'. Our vacation destination offers a wide range of outdoor activities for the adventure enthusiasts during spring, summer, fall or winter.
We have another log cabin for rent on the property check out VRBO#312356.

Relaxing
Rented this cabin to be near the Pisgah and do some fishing. This was the perfect location for me. River access on the property was nice. Plenty of wildlife seen on the property also. Would stay again.

The barn had absolutely everything we needed for a wonderful stay. Very well equipped with necessary items and lots of fun stuff for the kids as well. We had a great time down at the river, playing darts in the barn, having fires outside for roasting marshmallows, playing board games, and just sitting on the deck watching the sun set. The location is secluded and pretty off grid. To get almost anywhere you will have a dirt road in your future. We did not mind this at all. Maybe a better sheet of instructions would have been helpful, but we found everything we needed eventually. We will be back!

We enjoyed our stay in the barn. It was clean and comfortable. Beautiful property and river access. No close by groceries or restaurants so plan to stop in Blowing Rock or Lenoir.

The Loft over the Barn provided a delightful base for our exploration of Blowing Rock, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Linville Falls, Morganton and Lake James. Morning coffee and evening cocktails were enjoyed on the deck overlooking the meadow and forest. Dinners were enjoyed on the large kitchen island - with only the two of us, the dining room table for 6 was far too big, while the swivel stools at the island enabled us to watch TV sports as we ate. Plenty of utensils, china, pots/pans made cooking dinner easy, which after each day full of exploration, sightseeing, and hiking was most welcome. . . as was the shower with plenty of hot water and great water pressure! Homey touches added to our enjoyment - the tobaggan from LL Bean in the dining room, the interesting ceiling fixtures by each bedroom dresser, the comfy leather recliner. If you have children or grandchildren with you, there are plenty of puzzles and games, a swing set, and other playground equipment. The only challenge was the ten miles of unpaved gravel road for the most direct route to Blowing Rock - however, we discovered it was easily traversed in our sedan, so no problem! Thanks to this VRBO for special memories!

We had a lovely three nights in the barn. The space was cozy and charming. It felt secluded and far away, but we were close to great hikes in multiple directions. Great base for those, but we ended up doing less of that than we’d planned, because the kids had such a great time playing in the river at the edge of the property. Five stars from all of us.

We had plans to stay 4 nights in the barn. When we woke up after the 1st night, we found out our 19 year old Chihuahua that we had taken with us had passed away. She belonged to my parents and sister who had already passed so we knew they would want us to take her back to be buried at home. I contacted the Murphy's and they were very understanding when I told them we had to leave. We talked on the phone about a possible refund but no specifics. We just knew we had to go home for burial. I found out the next day that we had been refunded the majority of our charges. I was pleasantly surprised! They were very kind and generous with us. Great folks to work with and we will try it again at a later time!

Beautiful place for a getaway
Beautiful location on the mountains and a great property. Plenty of room to walk the dogs and amazing river access for fishing. It is definitely worth the price and the owner was very nice and accommodating.

Great mountain getaway!
We booked a last minute trip to NC to take our daughter to see snow. This property was absolutely exactly what we wanted...in the mountains, away from people with great outdoor opportunities. We got snow the first day. The next day it was melted, but it gave us more time to spend down by the river. The barn had everything we needed, but make sure you bring all your food and drinks because it is not a quick trip to the store. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are seriously considering coming back in warmer weather. Thank you!!

Beautiful property
Wonderful place in the Johns river valley.
Secure and secluded yet not too far from nearby activities (if you ever want to leave the property). Great river access on property. Clean comfortable loft above barn. We had a great time and will definitely be back in the future.

Spend the Thanksgiving weekend to get away. The cabin was comfortable and cozy. Everything we needed was available. But plan ahead there is no quick trip to the store if you forget something. The property was everything we hoped for and the kids favorite was roasting hot dogs for a picnic by the river. Can't wait to come back.

Perfect Place!
Me and my family had a blast here. We loved the secluded location. Loft is stocked with all necessities. Very clean! Kids and the dog enjoyed the river. We caught fish each day. Saw deer and turkeys around the barn also. Can’t wait to go back in a couple months.

Wonderful place in the middle of nature
Beautiful loft on top of a barn bordering Pisgah National Forrest. Acres of space for hikes, games or jogging. River is close by with swimming holes and fishing. Short drive to Blowing Rock and Boone. Host was always extremely receptive.
