We had a wonderful time. Great spot. Great host. There is plenty to do and see if you’re willing to drive a little on mountain roads. Great hikes, waterfalls, restaurants and cute surrounding towns. But we could have been happy just hanging out at the cabin. It was so peaceful and serene. We enjoyed sitting on the deck in the evenings and eating breakfast out on the table in the mornings. We sadly never used the fire pit, as we were too tired from our daily adventures - maybe next time. Our host went the extra mile in communication, considerations, and accommodations -from the fully stocked kitchen to little shower steamers. We felt very welcomed and at home.

If I could give this house and this host 6 stars, I would! Everything about the stay was above and beyond.

We had such an amazing stay and will absolutely be back. The view is gorgeous, morning coffee with clouds rolling through the valley felt like a movie. It was peaceful, quiet, and exactly what we needed. The location is perfect: less than an hour to Cherokee and Highlands, tons of nearby hiking, and a grocery store about 15 minutes away. Franklin is such a charming little town. close to everything without feeling crowded. The cabin was spotless. You can tell the hosts truly care. The milk and cookies waiting for us was such a sweet touch. The kitchen was very well stocked (we love to cook), the beds were comfy, internet was great, and we loved the TVs and convenient phone docks. Lots of natural light and a cozy, calm vibe. The hosts were friendly, responsive, and very dog friendly. Highly recommend! 💛

The house was clean and was very welcoming. The host left coffee, tea, milk, cookies, and popcorn for our enjoyment. Daniel checked on us to make sure we settled in well and had a great first night's sleep. We will stay here again if traveling to this area.
