Why the Owner Chose Franklin
Being avid outdoors enthusiasts, we could not have picked a better place to build our dream home! It is perfectly located between Franklin, Bryson City and the Nantahala River area. Hiking, rafting, fishing, waterfalls, mountain biking, gem mining, restaurants and great shopping are just a few of the things within minutes of the home. Our home is an easy drive from the Asheville or Atlanta airports and within a 6 hour drive to over 25 large cities! Our location allows you to feel like you are "away from it all"... yet it is close enough to run in to town if you need anything. Our view is a live, ever changing canvas of National Forest with layers of beautiful mountains!
The Unique Benefits at this Chalet
One of the main reasons we love our home is the access to the Little Tennessee River. The river flows just a 5 minute walk away from the home! It is one of the most majestic rivers you can find. Our relationship with the Great Smoky Mountain Fish Camp allows us to help you plan your river activities! Just ask when inquiring about our home and we will be glad to put you in touch with them! The home offers absolute tranquility. Fresh coffee and sitting out on the deck listening to the wildlife in the early morning is an unforgettable experience! Watch as the sun lights up the incredible mountain range! This has become a "guests favorite activity". We invite you to come and stay with us to see why!

Fantastic Thanksgiving!

Our family (parents, 3 grown daughters, son-in-law, and 2 year-old grandaughter) recently returned from spending 4 days, including Thanksgiving, at this wonderful cabin. I hesitate to call it a "cabin" because it was such an elegant home. The pictures on VRBO don't do it justice. Everything was just as described or better. The view was amazing and you could view it all sitting in the living room watching football--what could be better! We wondered if we'd be able to cook a complete Thanksgiving dinner here, but we needn't have worried. The kitchen is completely stocked, even a turkey platter. Everything was clean and well-maintained upon our arrival. We had more than enough towels, pillows, and cleaning supplies for our stay. I had e-mailed the owner several times with questions and his responses were quick and complete. We were very pleased with the whole experience and were able to have a relaxing holiday with family because of it.
Owner response:Thanks for your kind review! You described exactly what we enjoy offering our guests over other properties in the area. We strive to maintain our home to the highest level so that others may enjoy as you did. We are thrilled you enjoyed your Thanksgiving in our home! Lorin Miles, Owner.

We just stayed in this cabin and let me say that the pictures do not do this place justice!! We have stayed in many cabins and this one had the best view by far!!!! You can tell that the owners take great pride in this cabin!!!
Owner response:Thank you! We always try to explain to everyone interested in our cabin that if you like the pictures on VRBO...you will be overwhelmed by the view when you arrive! We hope others will be our guests and enjoy it as you did!

Everything here is even better than described and better than you can imagine. We've rented vacation homes from Maine to Franklin and been vacationing in this particular area for 30+ years. This vacation home was by far the best. The view is unbelievable, full 180 degree of layers and layers of mountains. The home was immaculate, kitchen extremely well stocked and the hot tub fantastic. And, it was peaceful and quiet and private. I couldn't have been more pleased. I could have stayed forever and will definitely return to this gorgeous home.
Owner response:Thank you! It is reviews and comments like these that make all the hard work in maintaining and sharing our home with you worth it! We hope others will discover just how truly different and unique this rental experience is! We just enjoyed 4 wonderful days there making sure the next guest finds it in the same condition as you....Glad your vacation was enjoyable!

My family and another family who are friends of ours really enjoyed our time at this cabin a week ago. It was everything we desired in a mountain cabin and more. Lorin was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. We also love the area and will return to experience the Smokies in a different season-perhaps fall-time. I highly recommend the cabin and the area.
Owner response:Thank you Joe! We are always so happy to share such a wonderful place with others. We are also happy you were able to make it to the home after so much snow! I'm sure it was gorgeous! Thanks for taking care of our home and we hope you come back to visit another time of year. All the seasons are great up there! Happy New Year, Lorin & Dawn

Had a wonderful stay. House is very comfortable and the location is stunning. Lots to do in area (rafting, fishing, hiking, antiquing). (Make sure you go to Ms. Lois restaurant in Franklin for a great and inexpensive breakfast.) Close enough to Asheville for easy day trip to Biltmore Estate. Lorin and Dawn were great to work with. No problems at all. Will be back and will be recommending to friends and family!
Owner response:Thank you Kathy! We agree the location is in the middle of a lot of great things to do! We can't wait for our own visit in December. Hope to have you back so you can enjoy the solitude again! Lorin & Dawn

Review Submitted: 10/03/10
We have stayed at many rental homes in the Smokey's, in search of the perfect destination for an eventual vacation home of our own. This house has it all! Unbeatable views, privacy (although there is a neighbor to the left, they are rarely home and don't rent out their house), great decor, plenty of room to spread out and space for the dog and kids to roam without worrying about getting hit by a car. As a previous post mentions, the drive to/from Bryson City is extremely curvy & hilly, so for those who get car sick, try to avoid that trip if possible. Lorin gave us directions to approach the house from the south, which I highly recommend! We found some great hiking trails in the nearby Nantahala Forest, which I learned is different from a National Park and has much more lenient leash restrictions. Finally we didn't have to worry about getting ticketed for having our dog off-leash! For anyone looking to get away from it all, definitely rent this beautiful home!

Very nice accomodations with terrific views. A bit of a drive to town but not excessively so. Easy accessability on paved drive up to home which turns to gravel the last few hundred yards. Landlords are very particular about the upkeep of their home and it shows. Parking area is a little steep but can accomodate two cars easily. Just enter at an angle and you won't bottom out. Great hot tub and wonderful deck. You won't be dissappointed!

Smoky Maountain Heaven lives up to its name! This is a wonderful home and the views are spectacular. My husband and I had the most relaxing vacation in years. The description of this home is very accurate but nothing can prepare you for the awesome views. You feel like you are sitting out among the trees. At night the forest outside it alight with fireflys. If you are thinking about renting this home do not hesitate, not only if the home beautiful and comfortable, but the owners are most helpful and want you to have fun and enjoy their little slice of heaven. Thanks for letting us enjoy this wonderful home!!
Owner response:Thank you both for the nice review of our home! We are always thrilled when others enjoy it as much as we do! We hope to have you back one day soon. Lorin & Dawn Miles

Everything about our stay was perfect. The view was beautiful, just what I was looking for when I started my search. 180 degrees of beautiful mountain ranges. Sitting on the deck with a glass of wine was a perfect way to end the day. The home was also beautiful. It is indeed a luxurious log home with plenty of room and lots of windows overlooking the mountains. We really enjoyed touring the area. We traveled to several small towns within an hours drive including Dillsboro, Sylva, Bryson City and Highlands. My favorite was Highlands. The waterfalls were beautiful. We also went horseback riding and canoeing. The owners are very friendly and were helpful with recommendations on places to eat and towns to visit. I loved this trip. One of my favorites. I highly recommend this place to all!
