We will be back
This was our second stay. And not our last. We saw a tom turkey puffed up and fanned out trying to impress the ladies. Very relaxing.

Perfect secluded getaway
We love staying at The Owls Nest. It's tucked away just enough to be secluded nut close enough to find lots of great food and things to do. The cabin is adorable, quiet and comfy.....everything we needed

Peaceful
My husband and I really enjoyed the peacefulness of the cabin, we did see a turkey our first day there. We even went for a little stroll on Millie's Trail, then later we had some rain which was nice. Most definitely will visit again!

Great getaway!
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. The whole process from reservation to the end was very easy. The cabin is located far enough off the main road that you get away from all the hustle and traffic. But your still a short drive to most anything you would want or need. Everything was as described and plan to go back again soon.

About the host

Hosted by Janice & Randy Costello

Host profile image
We came to Murphy in 1996 from Lake Mary, Florida, on vacation and fell in love with this mountain town and surrounding areas. We purchased a home while on vacation and 1 year later we decided to move here permanently. Our dream was to build a cabin on our property where others could come and enjoy the mountains.

What makes this property unique

The cabin is only 3.5 miles from town which is convenient for guests, however, the privacy and seclusion makes you feel like you are a million miles away.
