This was our second time staying at this cabin. It was as enjoyable as it was 2 years ago. We love the gas fireplace as well as the fire pit outside. The water wheel just outside the bedroom balcony is icing on the cake.

About the host

Hosted by James and Melissa Yonce

Host profile image
We both grew up in Murphy and attended Murphy High School together which is where we met and dated for a while, later to meet up again, marry and so far live happily ever after. We enjoy working on projects, spending time with family, spoiling our two grandboys, ages 15 and 11, and keeping up with all the ballgames and events they are involved in.

Why they chose this property

We would like you to come enjoy our cabin. We have so much love for the cabin as we call it; from the beginning of construction by our father/father-n-law, when he was developing the property in the late 1980's up to present day after our renovating. We love the location by the creek and enjoy walking over and listening to the water wheel while we sit on the covered porch at times when it is vacant. We lived in the cabin for almost ten years until one day the property across the road was in foreclosure and we were able to purchase that piece of land and later build our new home. The cabin holds many dear memories for us and our families and we hope you enjoy your time here.
