About this property

Your Great Get Away!

The winding, tree-lined road takes you up Clover Lane to a well maintained vacation home with central heat/air and modern appliances. Park the car in the circular drive, put the groceries away, then enjoy the breezes from the elevated porch that wraps around the front or the back deck, as well as under the gazebo. Whether you come to escape the summer heat, marvel at the vivid colors of autumn, or just get away to relax, the slow pace and serene beauty of the Smokey Mountains calls.

From the open kitchen to the wide sweeping living room, cool mountain breezes blow through in the summer, and the fireplace can take the chill off autumn nights.

It’s just a short ride into town for groceries, restaurants, and antiques. The John C Campbell Folk School is about 10 minutes away. Day trips will take you to amazing waterfalls, white water rafting, horseback riding, and many other mountain get-a-ways.

December Getaway

The cabin was just as described. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you have at home utensils, crockpot, pots and pans etc.We had a little problem working the TVs. Carol was very patient in helping me figure it out. She even had her daughter call to help me out. It was user (me) error. We saw all the college football games!

We had a lovely time in the mountains The deer were so much fun to watch. We also saw turkeys. very nice time. Cleaning company did not come in and clean after last guest. Carol offered to put us in a hotel and have someone come in but we chose to clean it ourselves so we did not have to move stuff on and out multiple times because we had food that need to be in refrigerator Carol refunded our cleaning fee

Feels like home

With so many beautiful rental homes in the area, it’s a tough market, but this home truly takes the cake with convenience and comfort. The little touches Carol has put in throughout the property help you feel completely relaxed and at home on your mountain vacation. The neighbors are very friendly and the view unbeatable. Deer every day.

Wonderful retreat

My husband, friend, and I stayed at this cozy cabin for a week while taking classes John C Campbell Folk School. The location was very convenient, 10 minutes from the school and about 15 minutes to Murphy. The neighbor was beautiful, full of trees and wildlife. The cabin was comfortable and welcoming. The kitchen was very well stocked! We will definitely look to stay there again next time we come to the folk school.

Quiet and fun vacation

Enjoyed our stay. It was really cold which we had hoped for. Carol was easy to reach if needed and very friendly. Loved our morning coffee out on the porches rocking in the chairs. Beautiful looking out over the porch where the deer and turkeys came through the property. That was fun to watch. Made yummy S'mores out on the fire pit. We love North Carolina. Went to Scaly Mtn for snow tubing. Visited Two Crows Alpaca Farm and got lots of Alpaca kisses. Thank you so much. Gwen

Magical time

My little family and I truly had an absolutely magical time. The area is absolutely beautiful and so very nice and quiet. It was so clean and tidy and everything was as the pictures show. We loved waking up each day and enjoying all the deer in the area walking through. My dream was always to be in the mountains around Christmas time and have a Christmas vacation and this was my year. We truly hope to be back one day and if available will DEFINITELY book again! I may or may not have shed a few tears when we had to leave today!

About the host

Hosted by Carol

Host profile image
I am a retired middle school teacher and college advisor. I spent a year as as an exchange teacher in Nagano, Japan, and have traveled to Australia and Scotland. My first cruise ever took me to Cuba. This was my parents' summer home and I love being here in the mountains. I know you will too!

Why they chose this property

My parents, Jim & Carmel Pierce, built this house as a summer retreat after they retired, and spent many summers here until their passing. When I acquired the house, I began updating and making it mine. Hence the name, Pierce-Huber House. I'm proud to share it with you...

What makes this property unique

Aside from the nostalgia, I love coming to this home in Murphy to enjoy the serenity and wonderful neighbors and friends. The quaintness of the small town is a welcome contrast to the big city that is my permanent residence, and the peaceful, easy pace in Murphy provides relaxation and friendly banter that comes from North Carolina hospitality. The deer and wild turkeys abound and, whether you want to fish, hike, boat, or enjoy the solitude, this is the place for you.
