The cabin is comfortable and well appointed. The outdoor living space (porch) is huge and has tree top level long range views of the surrounding mountains. We watched the mountains turn yellow and red over the course of our week. We loved watching the chipmonks gathering acorns for their Winter hibernation.

We enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and the scenery was beautiful. We enjoyed watching the deer, hummingbirds, chipmunks, and a groundhog. First time in my life that I seen chipmunks and a groundhog. We drove too nearby places to see waterfalls, we visited a few neighboring towns to shop and have dinner, it was fantastic week. The home was very clean, peaceful, relaxing, it was just everything that we needed for a pleasant week. It’s definitely a trip that we will be doing again.

The cabin is absolutely beautiful and has a great view that you can enjoy sitting on the enormous covered porch area. The directions were easy to follow. There is a Food Lion close by for your groceries. We were able to use the propane grill and the kitchen is fully stocked with all utensils and appliances. Feeling adventurous - there is plenty to do within 30 - 45 minute drive. We enjoyed kayaking at a local lake and climbing Whiteside mountain. In town we stopped at Anny’s for handmade ice cream and ribs from Haywood Smokehouse. Highly recommend was delicious.

The best way to spend the July 4th holidays

July 2026

When we arrived at the cabin, the first thing we noticed was the July 4th decorations outside and inside the cabin. Denise the host did a great job getting us in the 4th of July spirit. Everything we needed was there, we never had to contact the host for anything. Being 4300 ft in elevation, the summer temperature is always perfect. It's very quiet and peaceful outside. In fact, we spent just as much time out on the porch as we did inside. The city of Franklin (about 25 minutes away) had a wonderful small-town July the 4th experience. We couldn't have asked for a better time.
