We really enjoyed our stay at Murphy’s Funny Farm! It’s a great spot for relaxation. The kids enjoyed fishing, boating, paddling and swimming. Nice a close to many cute towns and Huntsville. We hope to return someday.

This cottage has everything ready to go for a great cottage experience. We enjoyed the rustic and hominess of it and it definitely shows the family pride in ownership. It is spacious and fully equipped, all we needed to bring was food and our personal belongings. It can easily and spaciously accommodate more than the 5 adults we had. Furniture and kitchen items are in good shape and not ready to fall apart when used. The ++ knotty pine throughout is great. The lake is a nice size for canoeing and kayaking with few motor boats zipping about to create waves. Some wildlife to watch included ducks (mom and little ducklings), a loon, a beaver and a magnificent heron. The beach was sandy rather than most cottages that are rocky. We enjoyed the use of both fire pits with the one down by the beach being great at night when the (many) bugs came out. A bonus surprise was the hot tub which was great for hanging out in on the rainy days. Don, the owner was fairly quick to reply to questions. A couple of opportunities would be to add a second kayak and or a paddle board which would allow 2 people to go out together on the lake. The one kayak that is there seems quite old and difficult to steer. Overall, everyone agreed, including my grown up children, that this was a great getaway on a beautiful spot and they would gladly come back again.
