  • Lorin & Dawn Wow! What a magnificent home you have. Everything in the home was perfect! The hard work that you put into the home is evident everywhere you look. My husband was very impressed. We loved the wood accents in the home and also in the deck railing. The kitchen has everything needed to prepare meals. The view is spectacular, the best we have ever seen and we have been going to the mountains for about 10 years now. We had all kinds of weather while we were there and the mountains seemed to change before our eyes. We took some gorgeous pictures to show our families, one of which I have as background on my computer. It takes my breath away each time I look at it. Thank you so much for opening up your home to us. We are already looking forward to coming back in October. The mountains will be on fire with the fall colors and we can't wait. Thanks again for everything.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Dan, Rita, Thanks for taking such great care of our home and we looking forward to having you back this coming fall! The leaves are really spectacular from the home! Glad you enjoyed it so much! Take care, Lorin & Dawn

  • This home is exactly what you're looking for if you need an escape from your busy life. It is beautiful, well appointed, comfortable and remote. The pictures and description are accurate and you will not be disappointed if you want to get away from it all. Plan to cook in the gourmet kitchen and plan your meals well as you don't want to have to run back to the store. Better yet--use your imagination with the ingredients you have and create your own feast. Don't forget to bring your favorite beverage and plan to spend many relaxing hours on the deck, in the spa,and communing with nature. The bed was very comfortable and we really appreciated being able to bring our dog. We all slept very well! Beautiful place! P.S. Word from experience--approach the home from Franklin. The road from Bryson City has many tight curves and is not good for anyone with a weak stomach!
    
    Homeowner Response:
    So glad you guys used it for what is is perfect for....getting away from the stresses of life! We hope to have you back! Lorin & Dawn

    Dear Lorin & Dawn, The giant spectacular view that greets the first time visitor to your franklin vacation home is absolutely stunning! It is something that photographs (even good ones like yours) just cannot capture. Despite this, I persisted in taking pictures from the deck at all times of the day, in sun, clouds, fog and rain. The look and mood of the mountains is always changing and always beautiful. During our week here, we traveled hundreds of miles around North carolina through the national forests and parks. The best scenery was always the view from your home, waiting right here for us at the end of the day. The home is attractively furnished, fully equipped and the interior decorating is just right. The kitchen is great. The wall of windows brings the mountain views in to almost every part of the home. I'm even going to miss the bear in the bathroom, making his offering from the roll between his paws. Congratulations on what you have achieved here. You were very smart to realize the potential of this site, and bold enough to commit to a complicated and undoubtedly expensive home construction. This is a special and unforgettable place, and Kathy and I are very happy that we had the opportunity to stay here. Best wishes!

    Hi Lorin & Dawn, Just a note to let you know we had a wonderful time at your log home. There aren't words to describe what a beautiful mountain home you have. Every little detail was obviously considered. Your hard work and perseverance truly evolved in to a masterpiece! The panoramic views were breathtaking! I have been in that area at least a half a dozen times in the past several years and nothing comes close to your Smoky Mountain Heaven. We truly feel blessed that you open your home for others to enjoy. The weather was perfect which allowed us to go waterfall seeking, gem mining and whitewater rafting. It was a wonderful way to celebrate our anniversaries. We had a chance to relax, calm ourselves from our hectic lifestyles and soak in the incredible views. May you have many, many good times with your family and friends in your majestic mountain retreat. We will return soon! Thankyou!

  • WOW!!!!!!!We have never seen a more beautiful 180 degree, unobstructed view of the mountains. Cabin was pristine clean, view from master bedroom was breathtaking. Great appliances, hot tub, and outdoor grill. Definitly not the run of the mill cabin rental. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Thanks for calling to be sure we had everything we needed. Bill & Brenda Jones
