About this property

Secluded Creekside Cabin • Fire Pit • Trout Fishing • Pet Friendly

  • FernHollow is a private creekside log cabin located just 11 miles from Murphy, NC. Nestled along a state-stocked trout stream, it’s the perfect place to relax, fish, and unwind. Spend your mornings sipping coffee on the spacious front porch while listening to the sounds of the creek, or gather around the creekside fire pit in Adirondack chairs under the stars.

    Conveniently located on a paved road with easy access year-round—no 4WD required—FernHollow is close to the Cherokee Valley River Casino, scenic waterfalls, hiking trails, wineries, and all the outdoor adventures Western North Carolina has to offer.

    Well-behaved dogs are welcome with a $110 pet fee (maximum two dogs). Cats are not permitted.

Serenity

This property is everything the listing says and a lot more. Coffee by the creek, stroll around the property, wood fire burning outside, and best of all....cozy gas fireplace inside....no firewood needed. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Wonderfully Relaxing Cabin

This was such a wonderful spot. A private and peaceful getaway for sure. The stream was great to relax next to during the day, and we had our choice of the fire pit outside or the fireplace inside each night. Both were great! Clean and well kept, tucked away in the country, it was exactly what we were hoping for.

Amazing host was fantastic. After looking at houses all day it was so relaxing to come back to.

We were looking for houses, wanted to buy up here. Wish I could have sat by the stream more but just to hear it took away the stress.

Fern Hollow is the perfect secluded mountain getaway. The cabin was clean and well equipped, with good towels, comfortable seating, and an extensive dvd library. Starlink worked well for internet and wifi calling. Sleeping with the windows open, being lulled to sleep by the sound of the creek was the rest we needed! I will say the cabin is easy to miss the first time, as the sign is a little under the hill and difficult to see. The host was thorough and clear in his instructions and expectations and quick to respond to messages. We would certainly rent this hideaway again!
