Relax by the stone fireplace in the large living/dining room with vaulted ceilings and cedar paneling while still enjoying the views that are visible through glass doors opening onto the upper deck.
The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare sandwiches or gourmet meals. All dishes, glassware and cooking utensils are provided. Just bring the groceries!
Bedrooms include a large king-size master suite, with a private bath and doors that open onto the upper deck, two queen bedrooms and a bed room with two twin beds.

Map & Owner's Profile
Fantastic Mountain View-Perfect for Large Groups-Pet Friendly
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Franklin
After living in Florida for quite a while, I missed the mountains. I like the trees, and the views and the cooler weather. I had visited friends who own a home in the same area and loved it so, in 2005 I purchased my mountain house.
The Unique Benefits at this House
We enjoy the peace on our quiet, sparsely populated road. The view from the deck is beautiful any time of day. It feels somewhat like being in a treehouse because the house is built on a hill and has many trees.

I live in Florida year round and get to the mountains as often as I can

Your home was well-equipped - the location was good with a nice view. The covered porch even allowed us to sit outside when it drizzled rain. There was plenty of room and the 2 fireplaces were great. It was really nice to be able to enjoy having our dogs with us. Thanks.
