About this property

Barndominium in Murphy NC--pet friendly, many activities on property and nearby.

This was a horse rescue barn that we have turned into a home on the inside, it still has stall doors in some areas. We have blackout curtains in upstairs and downstairs bedroom area to keep the sun out if needed. We love the sound of the rain on the metal roof and the sound of peace and quiet most of the time. We are on 28 acres and there are trails on the property great for walking, mountain biking or four wheeling, some are even wide enough for a Jeep! We are not far from many hiking trails, whitewater rafting, waterfalls, lakes, the Harrah's Casino in Murphy and downtown shopping in little mountain towns. Large windows upstairs are great for viewing wildlife, we love to watch deer and turkey from there. We also enjoy the escape from technology we do have internet via Starlink it is satellite based so bad weather may affect signal strength, we have very little cell phone reception on the property (depends on your carrier and you can log onto Wi-Fi for better cell service) No cable TV but we get many channels on an antenna and have Roku for streaming shows. We have a lot of movies, indoor and outdoor games so no one is ever bored. It is a great place to spend quality time with family and friends. There is a scavenger hunt along 2 of the trails (list of clues is in book on buffet) great for both kids and adults.

Excellent getaway for large group

Our family rented this place for Thanksgiving. It was perfect for our group of 13. It was well laid out and everything you needed was there. It is secluded and quiet. The hosts were great to deal with. I would definitely recommend it and will probably be returning again in the future.

Christmas in the Mountains

The stay here at the Barn in Murphy was soooo fun! Wendy and Ken have thought of everything and we felt comfortable. Very kid friendly with lots of games and activities to do. We had a fantastic time with plenty of space for sleeping and the giant table was so nice to enjoy meals together. Thanks for a memorable Christmas!

It was perfect!

First, I want to say that Wendy was a sweetheart! We had some complications and she was more than helpful and understanding. The barn was beautiful, clean and stocked up with EVERYTHING. Most places we've stayed in only had a few pots, cleaning supplies etc but they had it all! We were able to cook all we wanted and had the tools to do it with. We were very happy with this place and have already started to plan another family trip. Thank you Wendy!

Linda's surprise 60th birthday girls weekend

We had such a great time! The house/barn was perfect for our group of ladies. We surprised a special friend for her 60th birthday! We had plenty of room to play our games! The table was big enough for us to be able to all eat together. The house was super stocked with everything we needed, and the host/owner was so sweet! She made sure we had everything we needed. She kept a great line of communication open, and she even left our birthday girl a sweet gift! Thank you so much!!!!!!

We had an amazing stay at this mountain rental! The cabin was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable getaway. It was peaceful and secluded while still being close to hiking trails, local restaurants, and other attractions. The hosts were welcoming, responsive, and made the entire experience seamless from check-in to check-out. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, making us feel right at home. If you’re looking for a relaxing mountain retreat with incredible scenery and all the comforts of home, this is the perfect place. We can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful property the land is well kept. Check in was easy. Wendy was the best host. She had a welcome gift of jams and cowboy candy which we enjoyed. Barn is so clean and beautifully decorated. Our grandchildren loved the scavenger hunt. We cooked out and watched deer in the meadow. A lot of detail has been given to a five star guest stay. We really didn’t need to bring toiletries Wendy has all that covered. Great rental for families. Lots of room. Large table for family meals. Views from every room. We will be back soon. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
