I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the host or the cabin. it is absolutely the cleanest place i have ever stayed...we have stayed twice and Julie is always quick to respond when we have a question. Its close to Murphy but not so close you feel like you are in the city. I would highly recommend Gentle Bens to anyone staying in the area, no regrets.

The cabin was so clean and cozy, one of the best we have ever stayed in.

We have stayed at many cabins (mostly in Virginia) some of them better than others, this cabin was one of our favorites so far, very close to town but far enough away to feel like you are in the country. We would 100% go back the next time we are in Murphy.

this property is stunning. So comfortable, just right for 2 couples or family. It has all the extras, even games, puzzles, the wrap around porch has the most comfortable rockers. We didn't get to use the fire pit because of the wind, but will DEF stay here again!! There were deer everywhere!! so neat and close enough to town, that it was very convenient!!
