Great place in Murphy, NC to pamper yourself!
You know, there are a few nail salons in Murphy and I’ve been to them all, but I’ve got to say that Murphy Nails & Toes is by far my favorite. They have a great location just down from the McDonald's on the way into downtown Murphy, NC and owners, Tommy and Kim Bui, have done a great job in decorating and creating a relaxing atmosphere too.
I stopped in the other day and honestly I could have sat in that spa pedicure chair for the rest of the day! Trish did a fabulous job with my manicure and pedicure and I was so pleased with the color she helped me pick out. For some reason that always seems to be the hardest part for me - other than taking the time to pamper myself a little more often. They of course offer Acrylic, Pink & White Solar and Gel nail services and waxing along with manicure and deluxe spa pedicures for women and men. So I’ve got to say that Murphy Nails & Toes is my official favorite place for a pedicure and manicure in Murphy, NC now. If you haven’t visited them in their new location, please do the next time you need a little pampering too.
Murphy Nails & Toes ~ 828-835-7409 ~ 554 Hwy 64 West, Murphy, NC
Open Monday - Saturday 9am to 7pm Appointment & Walk-ins Welcome

Are you selling or buying that lovely 3 Bedroom home in Murphy, NC that only has a 2 Bedroom Septic System?
Are you selling or buying that lovely 3 Bedroom home in Murphy, NC that only has a 2 Bedroom Septic System?
When the Mountain Living Team has your home listed we pull the deed, covenants & restrictions, HOA, Tax Card, etc and start up our marketing plan. But don’t forget one more permit to pull…the Septic Permit. And if it’s not our listing, we make sure to pull a copy of the Septic Permit and make sure that the home you’re interested in buying has the septic permit to match what you’re about to purchase. If you choose to purchase a home that is marketed as a 3 bedroom, but only has a permit for 2 bedrooms that is certainly your choice. However, just know that according to the NC Real Estate Commission, we can only market it as a 2 bedroom home with an extra office or craft room. Making sure you’ve got all these details handled upfront will make your life and transactions run much smoother. If you’re thinking of buying or selling a home or property in the Murphy, NC area we welcome the opportunity to share with you our marketing plan and information on the local real estate market.Lee & Carol Barbour ~ The Mountain Living Team www.MurphyMountainLiving.com

Lake Chatuge Clay County Rec Park in Hayesville, NC
Hayesville, NC - Clay County Recreation Park for Lake Chatuge fun!
If you’re looking for some fun out on Lake Chatuge this summer make sure to check out the Clay County Recreation Park just outside of downtown Hayesville, NC.
Feel like camping out lake side or having a great picnic or get-together in the large pavilions? Clay County Recreation Park offers camping sites, walking trails, ball field, swimming beach area and a children's playground. You might also want to drive out to the Chatuge Dam and watch the boaters go by or take a cool dip in the lake there too.
Lake Chatuge (pronounced Sha Toog) encompasses 7200 acres, 3700 of which lie in Clay County, NC. This lake was formed in 1942 when the TVA constructed a 2950 foot earth filled type dam across the Hiawassee River.
There are six large lakes all within 30 minutes or so in the tri-sate areas for you to enjoy while visiting or living in the western NC, north GA or east TN Mountains.

Crane Creek Vineyards in Young Harris, GA
Crane Creek Vineyards located in Young Harris, Georgia was a place of celebration as they held their first booking in their new event building, Holly Hill. This will be a wonderful place for meetings, receptions, anniversaries, birthdays and other events.
But back to why we were there this night... the Bank of Hiawassee, Blairsville and Blue Ridge, held this special event for Realtors to announce they are now Citizens South Bank. Besides the gorgeous setting and views, we were treated to sampling their red and white wines along with a lavish cheese table, the biggest shrimp we’ve ever seen and other hors d’oeuvres - not to mention a desert display so delicious that their Sweet Sally white wine went perfect with. We’re looking forward to visiting Crane Creek Vineyards again and sharing this jewel in our own back yard with our family and friends.
There are many great places and things to do in the mountains of NC, GA and TN. If you’re visiting or think of moving to the mountains we’d love to share more information with you.
