What an incredible opportunity to stay in such a lovely home for an entire month! A view of the mountains desired by many, seen by few. We felt very spoiled to experience our trial run for our "empty nesting" soon to come...mid-August. The weather was lovely, un-seasonable cold weather 48-52 degrees on the deck for almost a week in the morning. Loved watching the hummingbirds daily, many species of birds, lots of cooking out on the grill, and total relaxation!! We both teach (Frank/college - me/kindergarten) Welcomed the break!! IMMENSLY!Surprise visit from our 2 sons for 4 days... also with our daughter, son-in-law, and 1 year old granddaughter. LOVED: Sunset Restaurant, Stamey's, Frog & Owl, Creekside Cafe, new library, Fatz, and Rabun Gap flea market. Thank you for an experience we will not soon forget!

Thanks for the use of the cabin. We had a great time despite a few obstacles! Rained a few days but still managed to get it all in! Hiked, horseback (Chunky gal Stables were awesome), Rafting - NOC was good-the one in Dillsboro was PERFECT with little kids- mine are 5&6 - they loved it! Gem mining, waterfalls (Bridal Veil & Glen Falls - but be careful - real slippery - our dog fell down Glen Falls! Ghost Town in the Sky was fun - the chairlift up is the highlight for adults but littler kids will enjoy it - mine did! We didn't care for Fat Buddies BBQ- skimpy portions/high prices but we found the local BBQs much better - Cash's was good by the Whistle Stop Mall. Last 2 days had sick kids but overall had an awesome time! Thanks again.

Dear Chris and Theresa, What a wonderful week at your beautiful cabin. We enjoyed picking strawberries at J.W. Mitchell's. Loved the fabulous views from the hot tub.

Thank you!! We thoroughly enjoyed our all too short stay at your lovely cabin. We discovered a couple of great nearby hiking trails and family conversation. We've promised ourselves that we need to come up here more frequently and enjoy all of the mountain seasons. Thank you again, Chris & Theresa, for sharing your cabin with us.

We enjoyed our stay at your beautiful cabin. We celebrated our 12th anniversary here. We loved the views. The leaves were at their peak. We enjoyed relaxing on the deck while looking out at the mountains. We loved the peace and quiet. It was very relaxing. It was like we were the only people around. We grilled on the grill every night for supper and ended our day with a fire in the fireplace. Thanks for sharing your cabin with us.

We had a very pleasant week at the cabin! We spent our days sightseeing and mining for gems. We went to Rose Creek mines and found quite a lot in the emerald, sapphire, & ruby buckets along with one mega bucket. We did quite a bit of asking about Mason & Sheffield mines only to discover Rose Creek really was the best. Very friendly! We even went back a second time! We went to Gem Factory to have our choice stones cut and mailed to us. We recommend both Willy’s BBQ & Fat Buddies BBQ. (Fat Buddies was hard to find behind Lowe’s in Franklin.) We also liked Sprinkles for their ice cream and super friendly service. The owner recommended taking the road towards Highlands to see the waterfalls. Very scenic! We shopped in Highlands at their quaint downtown. Our kids, ages 11 and almost 9 enjoyed the Fun Factory very much! The pizza bar and a steak restaurant are located inside. They also had bumper cars, bowling, arcade games and an outdoor race track, merry go round, and putt putt golf. The kids enjoyed earning tickets to cash in for prizes at the end. The house was beautiful and secluded. We enjoyed our stay and hope to be back again in the future!

Owners – Hello! We came up to spend a wonderful week at the cabin to check on things as vacation. As usual, the week flew by! Lots of fishing at our pond at Sequoyah – Sterling caught 5 trout in an hour! And fishing & canoeing the river from Jerry’s Fish Camp. DO NOT MISS JW Mitchell’s farm right up the road off 28- we had so much fun picking strawberries and eating right off the plant – yum! All organic produce, farm fresh eggs, etc. We got new carpet and new chairs for the living room. Did a thorough housecleaning- the carpenter bees were very bad so we will be staining & painting the entire cabin mid-June. We did not get a chance to pick up a new picnic table but know it needs to be replaced. We love it up here and hope you will enjoy your stay here as much as we always do- PS don’t miss Pickin in the Square on Saturday nights in downtown Franklin –eat at the Frog & Owl

We came to celebrate our 20th Anniversary. The cabin was the best part of our whole vacation. After a rough day of treasure hunting it was great to come back & get in the hot tub. We lost power due to the storm from Tues-Wed but that was okay. Stay away from Mason Mine on Airport Road- very expensive and we didn’t find anything. All in all we had a great time! Thanks for everything!

We didn’t want to go home! It is so relaxing and beautiful here. I’m usually a beach person but this cabin and experience has turned me into a mountain girl. We had a lot of fun gem hunting and ended up with some pretty good finds. We very much enjoyed watching the sunset from the hot tub. We hope to return soon!! This was such a wonderful experience!! Thank you for sharing your dreamy cabin!
