Peaceful and serene
We were very pleased with the property. Although the pool was too cold to use, it was still wonderful being able to sit on on the large deck and listen to the woods and the birds. Not a bit of traffic noise anywhere. The house was well appointed. The cooking pans were not the best, so we bought a small set and left them for the next guests. My furbabies loved the yard and it was nice to not have to keep them on leash whenever outside. If ever we are in the area again, we will definitely look up Carolyn and Chris again. Thanks for a great stay.

Siblings on a mission
Siblings on a mission to take care of a family cemetery doesn’t sound like a lot of fun. But, we take a trip to Murphy NC every year to make sure that great grand and grandparents cemeteries are clean and have flowers. Is is about the only time we are together, just us . Staying in this sweet cottage was wonderful, so much better than a motel room. We will definitely stay again in this beautiful spot.

Intrusive Hist
Upon arrival, the host was onsite waiting for me to show up. The host insisted on going inside with us to go into detail about everything inside. They followed us around the house for over 30 minutes. This was uncomfortable as we were trying to unload our things and get our trip started. The hist should not be there and should definitely not go in and follow you around.

Peaceful retreat
From the start pulling up to the cottage the landscaping was very well kept, beautiful flowers / out door decor. This adorable cottage was the ultimate getaway from the City life. The owners thought of everything down to the last details for their guest to feel comfortable and cozy. They had several outdoor / indoor games, an awesome fire pit that makes you feel “in the woods”, lights for the salt water pool and hot tub area, even a fan for those who sleep with one on, etc. The cottage was peaceful and very clean. This was by far the BEST VACATION COTTAGE we have stayed at and should be recognized for all it has to offer. Thank you, to the owners! We will be back!

Loved Murphy and this home
Mom and I escaped the FL heat in this beautiful home with a pool and hot tub. Everything you need is there. Carolyn and Chris think of everything to make your stay the greatest. We loved the home. Chris came by to check on us and explained everything. We loved the patio and cooking on the pellet grill. We will go again

Love the cottage!
The Wildflower Cottage is a great place to stay. My wife enjoyed it as a central location where we embarked on hiking and mountain biking just about each day. After a long day on trail the hot tub was a perfect place to relax, enjoy a drink and review our day. The stars were amazing each night. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Perfect holiday house for families.
Lovely property that did not disappoint. Hosts were amazing. I wish we had been there in the summer. The pool, hot tub, fire pit and yard games make this house a totally fun family place. It is convenient to the John C Campbell Folk School, wineries,Murphy and Blairesville.

Mountain Get-Away
My wife and I had a wedding in the area the weekend of Easter. We booked this location because it was close. This home was perfect! Super clean and well stocked with everything you would ever need to make your stay comfortable and stress free. The property is laid out great from a pool to awesome hot tub. We had a nice green space next to home for outside games and a beautiful fire pit. One night was very cold below 30, each room had its own ac and heat. We started a fire in the pot belly stove that made our cold night very comfortable. The beds were very comfortable. We had 5 adults and one child 3 with plenty of room for the family. Wi-fi was fast as well. Our hosts checked on us when we 1st arrived and were available if we needed them. We did not need anything. This is a great location to relax with the family of all ages and your dog. I can’t say enough nice things about our stay. We have stayed at many homes on VRBO And this one won’t disappoint. I would recommend this home to any family looking for a great mountain get away with the family of all ages. The owners take pride in this home and it shows. Thank you all for making our stay great, we will be sure to return some day to stay longer than the 4days.

This little cottage is adorable with beautiful art and a sweet touch that makes it so cozy and quaint. It’s also furnished with everything you could possibly need (Incase you think you forgot anything) It has lots of cool updates appliances that make it fun to cook! Even the drive there was beautiful! The Owners are nearby and like to come as soon as you get there and the cleaning people will be there promptly at checkout! I will definitely book this place again!
