About this property

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 15 minutes away. Day trips will take you to amazing waterfalls, white water rafting, horseback riding, and many other mountain get-a-ways.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Carol

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 (twice) and Scotland. My first cruise ever took me to Cuba in May of 2017. 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.
