The property is huge and offers plenty of space. Beautiful scenery right from the deck. Will certainly make another visit in summer. We all loved our stay and the host was very responsive to all our questions.

A classic ranch home with outstanding upgraded outdoor area. The pool was a welcome amenity as the weekend we stayed was over 100 degrees each day. Close to downtown Murphys for a fun day in town eating, wine tasting and exploring. Helena was a great host and very communicative. The house can get warm, so plan accordingly and keep those fans going and enjoy the pool.

My family and I had a fantastic time in this home! The views are spectacular, and the house is comfortable and cozy. Everything was super clean, the kitchen and bathrooms were spotless, and the bed linens and towels were also clean, soft, and comfy. We spent most of our time in the kitchen/dining area cooking or playing games or on the deck around the fire pit, enjoying the fresh air. Although we would 100% recommend this house to anyone and would rent it again, there are a few things I feel I should mention. First, there is no AC, and it gets pretty warm in the house, we tried opening all of the windows, and the ceiling fans helped, but the smaller room where the kids slept was uncomfortably warm. Also, the water pressure in the bathroom in the hall was awful, and the water was a tiny trickle, making it almost impossible to rinse out long hair. One of the things we noticed right away was that many of the door knobs around the house were loose and or broken. For example, none of the bathroom doors lock, so beware of that and make sure you knock. Finally, the pool is not heated, which was a damper for everyone, especially the kids. We rented this house primarily for the pool, and although we were able to enjoy it a few times, the rest of the time, it was simply too cold. However, as I mentioned before, our overall stay was great, and we would 100% recommend this house to anyone looking for a beautiful and quiet place to get away. The views from the backyard and deck alone are worth it. It was the quiet and peaceful getaway we all needed.
