About this house rental

DISCOUNTING for longer stays not exceeding 3 weeks at a time.
Located at an elevation of around 2500' on the west face of a mountain outside Murphy, N.C., Sunset Valley Overlook has gorgeous views of sunsets, the valley below, and distant mountain ridges. While you may have seen locations claiming amazing views, some only appear through a narrow gap, or when all leaves have fallen from trees. Here, you have a nearly 160* wide view year round! Has 2 covered wraparound porches with more than 800 s.f. to enjoy outside, both with beautiful sunset views just minutes away from restaurants of Murphy, Hiawassee, Brasstown and Blairsville. Harrahs Cherokee Valley River casino is 10 mi. away.
The home has three floors with a bedroom and bath on each floor. The main floor contains the kitchen, laundry, dining room and living room and looks out over the valley below with a L-shaped covered porch. Queen beds are in each BR with a twin also on the main and terrace floors. The upper floor has a private bath, small walkin closet and a barn door and fixed viewing window for temperature isolation. All floors have ample clothing dressers and a closet. Smart TV's in all BR's except main floor. Iron, blow dryers, blender, mixer, ice maker and gas oven and gas fireplace are present. The terrace floor has its own wraparound porch with outdoor table and rocking chairs, and a living room with Dolby Atmos large TV and popcorn microwave station, mini-refrig. Main floor has coffee station with complimentary coffees, traditional and Keurig machines. Couches on the main and terrace floors are not foldout beds but some have recliner feature. Terrace floor has a reading area with over a hundred varied books and some games. This floor can be accessed from the parking area by exterior stairs but when locked, access must be through the main floor front door.
Guest access
TV & WIFI: There are two small locked closets for the maid and owners and otherwise the home is accessible to visitors. All TV's are 'smart' or have Roku capability with basic local channels, and the free streaming channels. You may use your home streaming services as well. WiFi up to 30 Mbps is included which is ample for streaming multiple TV programs or movies. PARKING: There is room for a boat, truck and car in the gravel parking area, or 3 cars total.
LONGER STAYS: The maximum stay for one booking is 28 days. Kindly contact us if you wish to stay longer and we will work on that with you as we discount for stays longer than a week.

Other things to note
Less than one hour to the Nantahala Outdoor, Brasstown Bald, casino, Bryson City, and Lk Chatuge, it's located just far enough up a paved road to escape stresses and welcome sunsets.
As in most mountainous areas, bear sightings are the norm and garbage is not allowed outside or on the porch. Weekly visitors may leave household garbage in the locked tool building and guests staying longer should use the county waste station as there is no county curbside pickup. There are three steps from the parking area to the main porch with one handrail, and on the main floor, there is a narrow, short passage way by the laundry area before entering the bathroom, through which only a narrower walker can pass.
SHOP & SIP in Murphy: Second Saturday monthly, 2-5pm: Retailers will be providing refreshments, special sales, raffles, and fun.Come support the small, locally-owned retailers of Downtown Murphy.
SPRING FESTIVAL, Murphy: Each spring
ART WALK, first Friday from May - December in Murphy with free music, food vendors.
Further ahead: MURPHY has downtown streetfront Halloween fun for kids and Christmas tree lighting and parade in December.
MOUNTAIN DRIVE ACCESS: ACCESS ROAD: As with most mountainside homes enjoying a great view, there is a winding road for 1 mile up the mountain. It is PAVED with one "switchback" turn which does not require backing if you swing wide, even when pulling a small trailer. There is also a secondary 'backside' alternate route if you prefer rock gravel roads and concrete mixture--either one gets you there in a 2 wheel drive car unless rare ice days! But if you want a high view withOUT a mountainside road, we wish you the best and suggest looking at other locations. And, don't drive in Ireland or the UK countryside :-)

We rent VRBO every year. This was the nicest equipped place we have ever stayed. It way over exceeded our expectations. The furniture was very comfortable. There was an incredible view from the mountain site.

I have stead on Raccoon Ridge 2 times. The Outlook home is prefect for family and friends to spread out and have their own space. Of course the home has million dollar views so you can just breath. I am already making plans to come back next year for a longer period of time. The kitchen was supplied was condiment, spices, coffee, tea, sandwich bags, paper towels, etc. Host was always available for anything. TV & wifi were perfect too. Great place.

An amazing house and location!!! The house was more than big enough for the three of us. It would easily fit 3 couples with plenty of privacy. The house was very well appointed and had everything we needed for our extended stay. The views and sunsets were unbelievably spectacular and there were lots of birds, squirrels, and even some deer. The internet was perfect allowing me to work remotely with no problem. If we’re ever in the area again we would definitely love to stay here again!

The owners did not oversell this property one bit. It was everything they said and then some. The house is beautiful, clean, well supplied and had many little extras. The view, especially at sunset, is indescribable! God put on a show for us every night! Perfect place. Perfect host. I want to give it 10 stars!
