We enjoyed our coffees in the rocking chairs every morning! The cabin was cozy.

This cabin is perfect for a weekend getaway and is very nice and clean. We enjoyed relaxing in front of the gas logs.

My husband and I enjoyed this cabin. It was very clean and well stocked. The private road to the cabin was a little hard to maneuver because of deep ruts, but the stay was very nice.

We rented this cabin for a weekend getaway trip. This cabin is new to Evolve I believe since it did not have any reviews yet. The cabin is located in a wooded area just a mile or so from the main highway. It is very centrally located and makes for an easy trip to anything in Murphy. The one lane driveway to this cabin is shared with several other cabins so you will need to be on the watch for other vehicles coming and going (you would need to pull over to pass or back down the road until you can pull over). The one lane drive was not steep but there was one area that was on a hill and was deeply rutted. We had an SUV so no problem but a car close to the ground might have issues. The cabin had a comfortable couch and loveseat to relax on and the layout was suitable for 2-4 people. There was no dishwasher so everything you used, you had to wash by hand. They did not provide dish soap so we had to pick that up (we left it for future visitors). The cabin was clean and the only thing we noticed that we did report upon arrival were a few scratches in the wood floor leading to the back deck area. Our contact person said they were aware of the scratches already and was working on having them fixed. Although I did not cook during our time there, the kitchen seemed well stocked with all the essentials. Mattresses are always personal preference but we felt it was very hard and the pillows were very very puffy. I ended up picking up a pillow for myself at the local Walmart to use during the visit. I would recommend the cabin for future visits. The only things that would have made it better would have been different pillows, a small dining table with regular chairs (the small wood bench table and stools was very uncomfortable) and more lighting. It was very dark in the cabin and another light would have been appreciated especially during the evenings.
From the owner: "Hello Paula, thanks for providing your thoughtful feedback! The road will be repaired in September. We hope you visit us again."
