Murphy sits in the far western tip of North Carolina where the mountains meet Georgia and Tennessee, a small town of rivers, ridgelines, and winding scenic drives. The Best Western of Murphy makes a comfortable base in Murphy, North Carolina, close to the Nantahala forest, the Hiwassee and Valley rivers, the Cherohala Skyway, and the Tail of the Dragon nearby.
Hikers, paddlers, and drivers of the Tail of the Dragon find a friendly mountain base here, and the hotel welcomes pets too. A free breakfast opens the morning, the rooms hold a flat-screen TV, microwave, and refrigerator, and free parking sits right outside. The Cherohala Skyway climbs over the mountains from Murphy into Tennessee with overlooks the whole way. The Hiwassee and Valley rivers run past Murphy with stretches good for paddling and trout fishing.
Mountains and river runs, the scenic skyways, and the forest trails all sit close by. Settle in and let the Nantahala country set the pace.
