Breathtaking Mountain/Water Views/Private Pool/Hottub/4.4 miles to Casino

Renovated mountain property, overlooking the Hiawasse River, featuring a heated pool (closed seasonally, depending on rental requests as late as Oct). Up charge for heat, if needed. Recent 6 person Hottub. Amazing views from inside or outside, and several thousand square feet of concrete and trex decking makes this property a wonderful vacation setting. Sleeps a maximum of 10. Two sets of twin bunks are recommended for children. Tight for 10 adults.

Centrally located within 1 mile of downtown Murphy, with multiple delicious restaurants, 4.4 miles to the recently built $200+M Harrah's Casino, and less than a 45 min drive to the Nantahala Gorge white water rafting center with zip lines. Fun for just about all ages.

Home includes Foseball/Soccer and Ping Pong table.

Pet deposit of $25 per dog. Max 2 dogs allowed per visit. Again pool can be heated for an additional cost.

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!!
