The hospitality was significant, and the scenery was gorgeous. The cabins/cottage had a very-clean rustic look. We were in town for a wedding and really enjoyed our stay, wished we could have stayed longer. We had a soundless night, with our windows open, fresh air and rain drops hitting the tin roof. If you are ever in the Franklin,NC area. This place is a MOST!Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, adventure seekers, sightseeing.
Owner response: Tank you for your kind words. You will always be welcome in our little corner of heaven on earth.

My wife Sandy and I had found this cabin on line a few years ago and then for some reason or another wound up going somewhere else for vacation. In the meantime we had lost the information and even the location of the cabins. Well low and behold this year we found it again, (with I belive a little help from above.) Are we ever DELIGHTED!! this was by FAR the best and most realixing vacation we have had in many years. Not only was the cabin everything we had ever hoped for but Gene and Diane are just so warm and genuine. The weather was quite cold and cloudy but we didn't even mind it that much. We just hung around the cabin and grounds and thoroughly enjoyed the surroundings and the company! Again, Gene and Diane, we can't thank you enough for your hospitality and "chats". Look forward to seeing you in the late spring or early summer of 2013.God Bless!!Recommended for: Families with young children, age 55+, romantic getaway.

What a wonderful little cabin. Beautiful, great scenery, warm welcome, decor was outstanding all around one of the best cabins we have stayed at. Gene welcomed us and took us to the cabin to make sure it was everything we wanted and visited with us for a bit. Gene and Diane are just wonderful and friendly folk that you immediately feel like family. Looking forward to sharing more time with them in the future. Our stay was short but looking forward to the next stay being much longer. The cabin was perfect with all the comforts of home and making our stay more enjoyable. We highly reccommend if you want a great place to get away and such special treatment from such wonderful people like Gene and Diane make sure you check out these cabins. We promise you will not be disappointed. Can't wait to go back.Recommended for: Families with young children, age 55+, romantic getaway, adventure seekers, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thank you for your kind remarks. Guest satisfactions is our main goal. Gene and Diane of Orchard Hill

I came up here for six weeks in search of solitude and peace . . . and found it. My writing project was completed. This cabin was well appointed, immaculately clean and offered all the conveniences of home, including an icemaker, air conditioning, and a deluxe wine bottle opener. Gene and Diane were most accommodating. They catered to my every wish and request. I’m making plans to return again next year, and will take the time to smell the roses and wildflowers. Thank you.Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway, adventure seekers, sightseeing.
Owner response: Lil, you are among the best of our guests even though all our guests are the best. You rate our top score, FIVE STAR GUEST *****. We look forward to your next visit and wish you ***** FIVE STARS on your new book. Gene & Diane of Orchard Hill

We had a wonderful, and cozy time for a week at this cabin. Very comfortable, and extremely cozy. Such a peaceful setting, and all the conveniences you'll need. Lots to do in the area, and a very comfy place to relax at night and in the morning. If you happen to find this cabin available, grab it. You won't be sorry.Recommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway, adventure seekers, sightseeing.
