It was perfect for what we needed! Everyone had a great time. The kids love the pool table and the balcony! And it was even better because we could bring our dogs with us so the whole family was there.

Place is spacious and extremely nice. The two back decks are two of our most favorite parts of the house. It is decently stocked and has a washer, dryer, and dish washer - all three nice to have on vacation.

Great mountain cabin.

Cabin was very nice. It was close enough to town but far enough away. Murphy was a great town everyone was very friendly. I'd stay here again.

Perfect for the Family

Between the game room, bunk beds and creek to play in, this place is perfect for a family of young and old. Its location is a brief drive (5mins) from downtown Murphy, making it easy to come and go for adventures away from the cabin. We enjoyed our stay and can't wait to go back!

Enjoyed this cabin!

We enjoyed our stay at this cabin! Very clean, comfortable beds, spacious, lots of cooking utensils, and I loved sitting on the back porch hearing the birds and the creek below. Just wish there was a table on the porch for a cup or plate of food. It was very conveniently located near the town of Murphy. Thank you!

Starcreek cabin

Our stay was great. We had a blast in the game room and siting outside listening to the waterfall in the creek was awesome. The only thing was not having a hot tub like was on the listing. But the place was very nice and clean and the host was very responsive

Making Memories

The house was beautiful and easy to find. There was plenty of room for my family of 4. Quiet and peaceful and loved sitting on the porch listening to the water from the creek below. The kitchen was stocked with all the things you don’t think to bring. Lots of games & puzzles to play and put together. The game room was lots of fun, however, the pool table was a little warped so the balls kept rolling to the middle. Would definitely stay here again should the need arise.

Weekend Trip

Cabin was just as described. Very clean and spacious. We liked having 2 King beds, which were very comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and utensils. The cabin is in a nice location, with privacy and roomy driveway. We had 2 trucks with trailers and had plenty of room. One suggestion I would make is regarding the TV remotes. There were 6 remotes beside the TV in the Living Room and we had to keep trying until we found the one we needed. Only a minor detail, nothing that should keep someone from reserving the cabin.

Very Nice and Clean & Close to Town (5 Min)

This is following a full three stay. Pluses: Excellent location on paved road all the way. Easy level parking with easy turn around Easy access with lock box. Beautiful wide double decks from two floors entire length of building with three walk out doors on main level Lots of game equipment in basement Lovely hardwood floors Good appliances with great ice maker in the fridge. Very comfortable beds Excellent well water with a great taste. Good bathrooms. Lots of TV's Great host Excellent A/C. Negatives: Living room furniture very so so Internet very weak - could not sustain streaming. Because of the location in the forest and the roof overhangs, dark in the mornings until about 10 am.

I live in Tampa, Florida where I have raised my three boys. They have wonderful memories of our cabin! Now they are grown now and I run my gourmet hot sauce company, Intensity Academy Sauces.

Why they chose this property

We visited over 30 properties before walking into Star Creek Cabin. It was still under construction with cement floors and they we laying the stone for the fire place. it took only a moment to know this was the perfect spot for our family get away.

The small charming town of Murphy has it all, local restaurants, coffee shops, movie theatre, Casino, golfing, hiking, parks and more!

What makes this property unique

The drive to the cabin is easy without scary angles and solid ground parking. An average car can drive it year round without worry. Be sure to check out Rare Bird Emporium, Legends Steakhouse, Monte Alban & Rib Country!
