About Vacation Rentals in Murphy

Murphy in North Carolina is situated in Cherokee County. Murphy is located in the Nantahala National Forest, next to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, in the North Carolina Mountains Area. Murphy got its name from Archibald Murphey, a state legislator who gained a reputation as a big supporter of education in the Appalachian region. The surrounding area, filled with natural wonders, offers whitewater rafting, snow skiing, hiking, fly fishing, horse riding, swimming, and boating. Vacationers here can visit Huntington Hall in Murphy and other attractions such as Cherokee Hills Golf Course, the Nantahala National Forest, the Joyce Kilmer Forest and Slickrock Wilderness Area, Fields of the Wood, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the Indian Reservation at Cherokee, and Historic District at Brasstown. 

The John C. Campbell Folk School located in Brasstown, east of Murphy, teaches traditional music, mountain crafts, and local mountain folklore. On the weekends, guests at North Carolina Vacation Homes can catch up with local performing artists in concerts or in dance recitals. Murphy is the ideal vacation destination to get that small-town feel.
