Best pool and lake view! So nice, we've come twice!

Our second visit and the view over the lake draws us in every time. Comfy deck furniture and lots of pool toys. Location convenient to groceries, restaurants and outdoor activities. Don't miss the donuts at Rare Bird Emporium.

Perfect property

My whole family loves the property. It was the whole package with the gorgeous spacious cabin, secluded with amazing views, pool, hot tub & games. Plus there was plenty of room for everyone to enjoy together as well as gazebos for quiet time to ourselves. The town of Murphy was great with cute shops and convenient places for all needs.

Beautiful Home

Beautiful home. Beds and pillows comfy. Household staples like dish soap and hand soap provided. Scott checked in regulary to make sure we were comfortable. Only concern is with 7 exit doors there are no safety latches for littles that they can't reach. As a parent and grand parent it always stays in the back of your head what can happen if you were sleeping. Definitely recommend the heated pool. Also the bunk room is like a hideaway in the basement and my two teenage boys were very let down to find out they were hid away downstairs away from everyone. We didn't find that out until I received the check in instructions the day before. I would definitely book and stay again. The town of Murphy is super cute and make sure to check out Yogi's for dinner. By far one of the best places we have stayed at.

Relaxing, Tranquil Getaway

My husband and I really enjoyed our weeklong stay at "Catus Cabin". The overall views and sunsets are truly amazing! The home is very nice! We grilled, swam in the private pool, hung out by the firepit, saw so much wildife, and just chilled. It was perfect! We also went into downtown Murphy, NC for some local eats and shopping. Nice place to visit!!

**Review for Vrbo Home in Murphy, NC**

My family and I recently stayed at this amazing Vrbo home in Murphy, NC, and it was an unforgettable experience. This was our annual family vacation, and it was a huge success thanks to this wonderful property. The property itself was stunning, with breathtaking views that we enjoyed every day. The house was impeccably clean, which made our stay even more comfortable and enjoyable. The amenities were top-notch. We loved spending time in the hot tub and the secluded pool, which provided a perfect place to relax and unwind. The home was very comfortable, with cozy beds and well-maintained furniture that made us feel right at home. One of the highlights of our stay was the serene and peaceful atmosphere. It was the perfect getaway from our busy lives, and we felt completely rejuvenated by the end of our stay. We enjoyed exploring the charming town of Murphy, which had plenty to offer. One of the highlights of our trip was the whitewater rafting adventure on the Nantahala River – it was the best we've ever experienced! Our gracious host, Scott, was incredibly responsive and helpful, easily reachable via the VRBO app, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better place to spend our vacation. If you're looking for a relaxing and comfortable retreat with fantastic views and great amenities, I highly recommend this Vrbo home in Murphy, NC.

Amazing Place

This is a very peaceful and comfortable place to stay. We enjoyed the heated pool, fire pit and having our morning coffee out on the deck overlooking the lake. Lots of wildlife including a baby deer 20 feet from the porch. Communication with Scott was good. The outdoor furniture is outstanding and comfortable. We are already thinking about our next trip.
