The Glass Cabin in Murphy NC - Hot Tub, Indoor & Outdoor Fireplaces & Fiber WiFi


The Glass Cabin is a thoughtfully designed 2-bedroom mountain cabin in Murphy, North Carolina featuring a private hot tub, indoor and outdoor fireplaces, and high-speed fiber optic Wi-Fi. Surrounded by towering trees, The Glass Cabin offers a peaceful setting for couples, families, weekend getaways, and remote work stays.

Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the two-story great room with natural light, bringing the beauty of the forest indoors. Relax by the gas-log fireplace with your favorite book, stream a movie on the Smart TV, or stretch out on the top-of-the-line sofa while enjoying the view.

The fully equipped kitchen includes a Keurig coffee maker, breakfast bar, a custom-made dining table, and everything you need to prepare meals at home.

The primary suite features a king bed with a premium Beautyrest mattress, Smart TV, remote-controlled blackout shades, and a private bath with a double vanity and walk-in tile shower. The guest bedroom offers a queen bed with a premium mattress, Smart TV, and convenient access to the second bathroom. High-quality linens throughout the cabin add another layer of comfort to your stay.

Step outside to enjoy the covered deck with a four-person hot tub, an outdoor gas fireplace, and a fire pit surrounded by the sights and sounds of the forest.

Although the cabin feels tucked away, you're just 20 minutes from downtown Murphy, where you'll find locally owned restaurants, bakeries, boutiques, breweries, art galleries, and a scenic riverwalk. Lake Hiwassee, local wineries, farm tours, waterfalls, whitewater rafting, and the John C. Campbell Folk School are all within an easy drive.

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin! It was cozy and beautiful. The host communicated well and it was a very relaxing experience! Definitely recommend being familiar with gravel mountain driving and having 4x4.

Wonderful stay. Very clean. If you plan on cooking you might want to bring some things from home. Not really a fully stacked kitchen.

Lovely Retreat

The cabin was new, clean, and well stocked. The high ceilings and windows made the entire place feel open any airy. We especially enjoyed sitting by the outdoor fireplace and lounging in the hot tub. We truly enjoyed our stay and would happily return to the cabin when we come back to Murphy!

House was very comfortable and clean. Communication was great as we had trouble with code getting in and she called right back. Saw some deer which was cool! Internet connection was great especially in the woods. Didn’t use hot tub. Location is remote but 15 minutes to down town Murphy. Master bed was very comfy. Neighbors have dogs that bark on your arrival but no big deal as they stopped quick. Would come back again.
