Great Getaway House

Moose Manor is a great retreat to hide away in and get away from the stresses of life. It sits up on a mountain just a few minutes south of Franklin and offers great views and a very comfortable feeling. There is a master bedroom upstairs with the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on. This room has a TV. A bathroom joins this room with another sitting room also with a TV and a futon that our kids slept on. Also upstairs is an open living room with a pullout couch and dining table off of the kitchen. There is also a fireplace in the living room but we didn’t need to use it. This area offers great views of the mountains and trees from the many windows. You walk right out to a huge deck with a gas grill and an outside table – another nice place to eat or take in the surroundings. From this deck you can descend to the lower deck that has a porch swing and a hammock. This deck descends down to the beautifully landscaped back yard with an area for two wooden lounge chairs with umbrella, a manmade creek like water feature and a gazebo at the bottom. My children loved to play out there and look for bugs and just enjoy themselves being outside. The lower level of the house is like a separate suite of its own. Just down the staircase from the living room is the washer and dryer behind closet doors and beyond that is a room with a queen bed another TV and a desk and sitting area and its own bathroom. The view from this bedroom is like looking out from the bottom deck. Beyond the bathroom is a small room with a foosball table and some other games. There are many doors in this house which makes for a great flow. There were plenty of places for the family to be together and many places you could get away from everyone and just be alone reading, relaxing or hiding if you happened to be playing a game of hide and seek! Franklin is close to many things like the Dillard House family style southern restaurant – just south in Dillard GA, Great Smokey Mountain Railroad, Highlands & Cashiers where we had lunch and visited friends, many waterfalls, Cherokee, NC, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, tubing down Deep Creek and the Nantahala Outdoor Center for white water rafting. Oh - I almost forgot the gem mining in Franklin. There are several places to do this and our kids loved it. Once you get down the mountain, it takes just a few minutes to get to grocery stores, pharmacies and restaurants. Moose Manor is a lovely retreat that puts you in the middle of

Moose Manor is a wonderful peaceful place to vacation. The cabin was well equiped with great decks for looking at the great view and wonderful landscaped back yard. Easy drives to Bryson City for tubing, Highlands for shopping, Cashiers for waterfalls and swimming holes. Also great golf in Franklin and surrounding towns. We also did gem mining for the grandkids and they had a blast. I highly recommend this cabin for for next family get away.

Summer Mountain Trip

First the property owner was very responsive. Email communication was answered timely, in most cases within 30 minutes. The property is about a 5 minute drive to town and I eventually figured out the two routes either taking me downtown or outside of town. That was nice once I figured it out. There was not a TV in the den and to me that made it a place to do things outside of television. I took my two sons and 3 other boys and we played a lot of cards and chess. There are two bedrooms upstairs with a bath inbetween and that set up worked well for the 4 boys to stay upstairs. I have a 7 year old and he stayed downstairs with me, while the older ones were upstairs. The downstairs was nice because it was like its own retreat. It had a recliner and a TV as well as a great triple window right next to the bed. Laundry and a full bath were also downstairs. The furniture was very comfortable and their was nice and ample seating for all of us on the decks when we went outside. The home was clean and there were plenty of linens available. We spent a day visiting waterfalls in the area and also ate at a great place downtain (Motor Company Grill), which I would highly recommend. I will say it was one of the best trips I have taken in a long time. Thanks again to the property owners for making their home available.

We had a great time at Moose Manor!! Willie & I are perfectly content to stay put & relax. But our visiting children stayed busy! The cabin is beautiful & very comfortable. It has a homey, restful feel to it, which I like very much. We hope to come back next year!!!! Thanks again.

Our family had a great time!!! The first couple of days it rained very hard so we played dominos, scrabble, and yahtzee! We took your advice & checked out the fun factory. It was a hit with all of us including the steak in the restaurant inside!!!! We visited Tallulah Falls State Park & ate at Fat Buddies barbeque in Franklin! I fed the birds & sat in the gazeebo & we all enjoyed the two porches. Thanks for sharing!!!

Thank you for letting us stay in the beautiful cabin, Moose Manor. We've had a great vacation here in Franklin. Some of the activities we have completed include gem mining, hiking, tubing, and going to the local Fun Factory!! We've loved having the big porch at the cabin. We have spent most of our time on it! The patio & gazeebe were also fun places to go. Thanks again!
