About this property

Mountain Creek Retreat - 5 minutes from Downtown Murphy - Secluded

Stay in the Nantahala national forest as our cabin is a 5-star experience secluded with your own 2-acre park/campground where you can relax at a creekside picnic table or at the firepit. Peaceful with no nearby neighbors. As you sit on the front porch you will see deer, turkey, and all of the local wildlife. All of this privacy and only 5 minutes from downtown Murphy as well as the Harrah's Casino. You will have a paved circular driveway that will allow you to pull up to the front door and for motorcycles a garage to park in. The property is fully fenced if you are bringing your pet. We provide firewood for the fire pit.

Our cabin offers all of the modern conveniences (High-Speed Internet, Direct TV, and an outdoor grill) as well as a wood-burning fireplace in the main area. Our front outdoor porch is the perfect place for a barbeque and our outdoor deck offers prime wildlife viewing, a morning cup of coffee and a good book, or an evening glass of wine. Our full kitchen includes all modern appliances and fully stocked with everything needed for preparing meals. We have a queen master bedroom with an attached bathroom, a loft bedroom with two twins and a private bathroom, and a sleeper sofa in the living room.

Our guests all say we have a "GEM" and they will be back!

Mountain Crest

We had a fabulous time at the cabin. Great place to stay. Our dog had a great time barking and watching all the wildlife. Best time sitting on the back patio area watching nature. Say deer, a turkey or two. Eric and Zoe were great host. Loved the fresh eggs and wine on our first night. We plan on returning back to the cabin when make our next trip that way.

Perfection!

If you are searching for somewhere to stay and can’t decide, stay here!!! It’s perfect. I wanted to live here. Perfect for pets due to the fenced in yard. Our dog had the BEST time. The hosts are fantastic- gave us fresh eggs and wine! So thoughtful. Very clean cabin and cozy. We loved our stay and visit to Murphy!

Wonderful, cozy cabin

We had the best time in Zoe and Eric’s cabin! Super clean, well stocked with all the amenities! Close to downtown but tucked into the woods so very, very quiet. Beautifully decorated for Christmas. You can tell they put a lot of care and thought into their cabin. Thank you for everything!

Peaceful cabin in the woods

We wanted to checkout Murphy and found this peace of heaven traveling with our dogs. We loved it was minutes from restaurants, breweries and shopping. We are avid hikers and loved local towns and hikes were close by. We are looking forward to staying again. Thank you for your hospitality again.

About the host

Hosted by Eric & Zoe Schechter

Zoe and Eric Schechter enjoy outdoor sports and are avid motorcyclists that have been vacationing in this area for many years and became full-time residents in 2015 when they purchased the adjacent property and made it their forever home.

They live with their 5 dogs and 6 chickens, 7 motorcycles, enjoy gardening and hosting guests..

In 2019 they purchased this property with the desire to operate a vacation cabin that provides an exceptional experience for their guests and where they can share their love for the mountains. We are less than 5 minutes from town, yet very secluded in the mountains!

We are pet and motorcycle obsessed!

Why they chose this property

The feedback we get is "what an amazing piece of property, so quiet and secluded, yet so close to town". We often hear our guests say they wish they had more time there and they will be back!
This cabin and property are a true gem!

What makes this property unique

The property feels like your very own park with a year-round running creek. The property is completely fenced for those that bring their pet. For the motorcyclist, the driveway to the cabin is paved and there is a garage that has cleaning and maintenance supplies.
