Huntington Hall Bed & Breakfast

In the early 1800's, a small settlement located on the confluence of the Valley and Hiawassee Rivers was called Huntington, wherefrom the inn's name was chosen. It wasn't until years later that the town adopted the name Murphy.   Approximately one hundred years ago, J.H. Dilliard and his wife Dixie built their home in Murphy, which is nestled in the mountains of Western North Carolina.

Murphy, North Carolina, two hours from anywhere!

Murphy is located within two hours of Atlanta, GA; Asheville, NC; Chattanooga, TN; and is within hours of Knoxville, TN and Greenville, SC. Transportation can be arranged to and from the Andrews-Murphy Airport.

 The area is perfect for whitewater rafting, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, hiking, and golfing. Huntington Hall is convenient to the Cherokee Hills Golf Course, the Nantahala National Forest, the Joyce Kilmer Forest and Slickrock Wilderness Area, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the Indian Reservation at Cherokee, Fields of the Wood, and the John C. Campbell Folk School and Historic District at Brasstown. These and many other points of interest are sure to pique your interest in the mountains of Western North Carolina.

 Huntington Hall is located 30 miles west of the Nantahala River and 30 miles east of the Ocoee River, site for World Class Kayak and Canoeing Events!

 Huntington Hall is situated on the corner of Valley River Avenue and Dillard Street. A special treat heard twice daily, at noon and 5 p.m., are the carillon bells from the Methodist Church. You can walk to Valley River, where there are picnic area, tennis courts and a ball field.

 Within a short drive, guests can dine at a variety of eating establishments, Steaks and Seafood, Italian, German, Chinese, Barbeque, and Country Cuisine. Don't forget to try our local farm raised Salmon Trout, an area specialty!

Each of the five spacious guest rooms have a charm of their own and are individually decorated to suit the feeling of the room: old wood floors, tall windows, and each with individual heating and air conditioning units, a private bath, and cable color television. All are comfortable and inviting. The names of the guest rooms were chosen from homes of the English countryside. Telephones are located in the common areas and answered 24 hrs a day. A fax machine with a copier option is on premises. Modem hookup can be provided to your room.

 
Breakfast Porch
During the evening hours, guests are invited to join their hosts and other guests for relaxed conversation. A VCR is available for guest use in the living room and each guest room. Refreshments are offered from 5 p.m. While you're at dinner, your bed is turned down and a delicious handmade chocolate truffle is placed on your pillow! 

A scrumptious full breakfast awaits you and is served on the sun porch at your request from 7:00-9:00 a.m. each day.
