Hummingbird House was a wonderful place for a mother-daughter trip to Murphy and surrounding areas. The layout of the house was perfect with a bed and bath on each side of the house and the host was very accommodating in allowing us early check-in. Some things we really appreciated: GREAT lighting in every room, a well-stocked kitchen with Keurig coffeemaker, cozy and enjoyable front/back porches, near-stepless front entry, relaxing hot tub, comfortable beds, private location at the end of a dead-end road but still very close to downtown Murphy where we highly recommend eating at ShoeBooties Cafe, Poor Parsons Pub, and Crafted Dough . We loved our time at Hummingbird House and would definitely book here again!

This was our second time staying at Hummingbird House, and it was once again a fantastic experience! The home is very clean and has everything we need for convenience and leisure. We really enjoyed spending time on the porches and using the hot tub this trip. It is also in a great spot to access both downtown Murphy and the John C. Campbell Folk School (our reason for visiting town). Thanks again for a great stay!

Hi Sarah, Thank you so much for choosing Hummingbird House for your stay in Murphy a second time! We are happy that you had everything you needed and had a chance to relax in the hot tub. We LOVE the John C. Campbell Folk School too! It's such an amazing place! We hope you are able to come back and enjoy both again soon! Thank you, thank you! Chris and Carolyn

We were very happy with the cleanliness and open space the home provided for our short stay in Murphy. It was cozy with a nice view off the back porch. The kitchen was well stocked with accessories and clean. We loved the murals and made the place cozy and unique. The hot tub was very relaxing and nice after a day of walking the town that is only 5 minutes away. We would recommend this home!

Our best ever stay in Murphy! The hosts were very accommodating. The house was even nicer than it looked in the pictures and we liked being in the woods with birds singing all around. It is comfortable and tastefully furnished with high quality furniture and beds. The house is an easy drive into downtown Murphy as well as to Hayesville. We hope to visit again soon.

You could tell as you entered how clean the cabin is. It wasn't only clean but very comfortable and I am very picky when it comes to beds. They thought of everything from all you need in the shower to what you need in the kitchen and towel for shower and extra towels for the hot tub. When we visit Murphy again we will be staying at same cabin.
