The cabin was new, clean, and in great shape. The location was quiet and had loads of solitude for a peaceful vacation. The host is so helpful and the communication was fast and fantastic. We definitely recommend staying.
The views from the house are beautiful. The house is clean and cozy. The hot tub is relaxing. There are plenty of trails and a community pond to catch and release fish. We had a wonderful stay.
So relaxing and peaceful. Enjoyed the area. Loved the fire pit, fire table on the screened in porch. Also, enjoyed s’mores by the fire. We enjoyed going to places in the area. Would recommend this cabin to friends and family. Would definitely go back myself.

Our Happy Place
We love Goldens’ Retreat! This was our third visit and won’t be our last! The cabin is perfect, stocked with everything you need to make you feel at home. The host is very accommodating. Plus you can’t beat the setting, wonderful views and peaceful quiet with a lake and plentiful trails for hiking.
Great place, beautiful, comfortable and quiet. Wonderful home and my only complaint is that my wife wants to know where to buy many of the things in the home! Thanks for sharing your home!

Anniversary
Golden's Retreat was beautiful and had everything we needed. My husband and I enjoyed our time relaxing and taking our dog on walks. The cabin is nearby Fields of the Wood and the Murphy Riverwalk. We had no problems in my Honda Civic. We are planning to return in the summer. Thank you.
This cabin has beautiful furnishings, and a well stocked kitchen. We enjoyed the fireplace on the porch in the evenings. First time going through vrbo and was somewhat dissatisfied.

Great Cabin
This is our second time staying at this cabin. The hosts are always amazing and very responsive. The cabin is new, well equipped, clean, and easy to find. You feel secluded but the access is an easy paved road to driveway. This is our go to place to slow down and unwind. The location is close to many sights and things to do in Western North Carolina and North Georgia. This cabin and hosts get our highest recommendation. Thanks for a great stay.
The cabin was perfectly stocked and organized with labels on everything. That is super helpful when it comes to light switches, etc. There is no guessing. The hot tub was clean and HOT. Bedrooms were very comfortable. Our young daughter enjoyed the loft as her hangout space. The owners seemed to think of everything! We even enjoyed lunches outside on the little patio table. We definitely recommend this cabin in Murphy!
This may have been the cleanest property we've ever seen. The layout (with one bedroom upstairs and the second downstairs) was great for privacy, and the screened-in porch was the highlight of our stay. We spent at least half our time sitting out there, tossing balls for our dog, and watching it rain. I was able to get some work completed, and we rested. I'd love to return in the future!
All around great home. Kitchen well stocked, bedding and beds were very comfortable. Didn't get to enjoy the hot tub or 2 ouside fire pits but they were available. Pet friendly. The driveway leading to the house was a bit of a challenge due to the recent rain. Gorgeous view. House was decorated for Christmas which was an unexpected and nice surprise.
We have a lovely time 'away' with close friends. The cabin was immaculately clean and well stocked & prepared. Instructions were clear and not onerous. Internet was fabulous the first few days, then got a bit wonky so don't depend on it for your whole stay - most likely weather related?? Would highly recommend - all the communications & instructions made us feel very welcome.
This home is simply gorgeous and has all the amenities you could ever need for a perfect getaway.
The hot tub and screened in porch were used every day! The kitchen is well stocked and I mean WELL stocked. Air fryer, nutrabullet, you name it, they had it. We love to cook and this kitchen was well laid out and made it great fun.
The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The gas fireplace was warm and inviting. There was a great fire pit outside which we didn’t burn logs but we did hang out there in the afternoons. They also have a gas fire pit on the screened in portion of the porch!!
We felt like we were completely alone with our mountain views even though Murphy was only a few minutes away. Hiking the neighborhood was delightfully challenging and we felt like we got a workout just taking the dog for a potty.
Wonderful and responsive host and property manager! The hosts have 2 golden retrievers so our pup felt welcome!
10/10 would rent again. We had such a great time!!

Absolutely amazing stay at Goldens Retreat!
5/5 no notes! You will not regret staying at this cabin! It was so homey, spacious, and incredibly well-stocked. The views were awesome too. The hosts were so hospitable and warm! They answered any question we had and were very responsive. We’re already talking about booking our next stay here!
Love the cabin so much we are going to have their contractor build us one!

Weekend Away
Enjoyed our stay very much. Cabin was outfitted well to cook in and we enjoyed the porches and tabletop fire. Furniture was comfortable and cleaning crew left it picture perfect as we opened the door. Hopefully, we can return soon!

Wonderful Stay
Great stay in a beautiful cabin with wonderful views. We really enjoyed the hot tube on the wrap around porch!! ❤️ We experienced great hospitality from the owners. The cabin was well stocked and had everything we needed while cooking!!
We were very pleased to be in Goldens Retreat Cabin.
The Cabin is fantastic!!
We spend a lovely time in the cabin for new years weekend.
Only recommendation is to illuminate the path way of the road going up to the cabin, is very dark and dangerous.
This cabin is perfect! It’s extremely clean! Has everything you need. The owners did a beautiful job decorating. My family and I really enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be back!
Thanks again for sharing your cabin with us!
