Murphy • Andrews • Brasstown
Cherokee County is a special place nestled in the most southwest corner of North Carolina, where forested mountains touch the sky, the lakes sparkle, the air is crisp and clean, and the charm of small-town America still exists. A place where you will find your “peace” of the mountains, filling your time with fun, beauty, recreation and rest, while you enjoy peace of mind and a renewed spirit.
