Located in Murphy, this welcoming cottage lets you experience it all. Nantahala National Forest is just a short walk away, so you can leave your car at the property, which offers onsite parking, or jump in your vehicle to make short work of the 6-minute drive to Murphy River Walk.

After you return, you can unwind on the balcony or sip a drink by the firepit. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at table tennis, or enjoy the free WiFi and video-game console.

This 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom rental features a living room, a BBQ grill, a fireplace, and air conditioning. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a dishwasher, as well as an ice maker, a microwave, and cookware. And there's a washing machine, so you can even pack a bit lighter.
