About this property

Wow!!! Creekside Cabin with Hot Tub, Fire Pit & Starlink High Speed WiFi!!

The perfect Winter escape!!!! State maintained road, 4 wheel drive not required!!! Come, enjoy total privacy, including no contact self check-in, at this immaculate cabin in the Nantahala National Forest!

***If your group needs additional accommodations please view our other vacation rental just 3 doors down at VRBO # 7935707***

Don't miss out on this dream of a vacation cabin!! Enjoy the seclusion of a creekside mountain retreat in this 2 bedroom, 2 bath cabin with private hot tub.
The property borders the beautiful Nantahala National Forest of the Great Smoky Mountains and offers an abundance of exploration. Let the sounds of the rushing waters soothe your soul day and night. Walk across our bridge to enjoy bonfires or even pitch a tent for the night on our property across the river which is lit by festive cafe lights strung around the campfire. Hike through the Nantahala National Forest right out the backdoor. Or if you prefer the creature comforts, enjoy the fully equipped kitchen, comfortable new beds (King and Queen), new gas logs in our stone fireplace, Wi-Fi, large flat screen TV in the den and another in the King Bedroom with Dish Programming. Read a book or just gaze at the river from the sunroom/sleep porch with its comfortable oversized chairs and sofa which opens into a queen sleeper sofa. Enjoy family dining at the large dining table beautifully made of reclaimed barnwood.

Conveniently located on the Wayah Road section of Mountain Waters Scenic Byway, a paved road, the home is easily accessible even during inclement weather. We're just far enough out of downtown Franklin (8 miles) to be secluded yet we're directly on the way to Wayah Bald, Nantahala Outdoor Center, Lake Nantahala and The Appalachian Trail. Franklin/Macon County has 16 local water falls, world renown gem mining, and numerous biking and hiking trails including the Appalachian Trail and Bartram Trail. Grocery shopping and restaurants are less than 10 minutes away. A quick 15 minutes to downtown Franklin you'll find antique shops, local crafts, restaurants, entertainment and two locally owned Micro Brewery Pubs. Adventures are abundant in every direction - or you may choose to never leave once you've arrived!

***We are ensuring the health and well being of each guest by following CDC Guidelines to disinfect and sanitize with an EPA approved cleaner all hard surfaces, door knobs, remote controls, faucets, cabinet pulls and other areas in order to protect against COVID 19. In fact, all those measures were part of our regular cleaning long before this crisis!

Visit to Franklin NC for hiking adventures

A planned weekend away from the hustle and bussle of work life. We hiked on part of the Appalachian Trail, to experience Wayah Bald, Wesser Fire Tower and saw many waterfalls. Franklin is one of our favorite places to visit. The locals are extremely nice. There is so much to see and do. We are actually looking forward to becoming transplants to Franklin one day in the future.

Girls trip

The house was quaint, backing out of the driveway was hard to do, due to shrubbery and curve in road right before the driveway. On line it was mentioned they had a land line, which was not there and my cell reception did not exist while, thankfully,my friends did. The home is located in a good area and close to many places to visit and things to do. We enjoyed our visit.

The perfect family weekend!

This cabin and it's location gave us the perfect family weekend. We hiked to waterfalls, drove to Wayah Bald, and visited the Lazy Hiker Brewery... but we were always just as eager to get back to the cabin and enjoy the creek, fire pit, and hot tub! The proximity to hiking trails and to town were great for us, and we would definitely return!

Beautiful spot!

We loved our stay! The communication with the property manager was great, she was very quick to respond to some questions we had about the area. The house is very clean and the beds were comfy. We loved the hot tub and our children loved the stream. We had a campfire one night as well. A great family friendly spot that we will definitely consider again!

Great two-couple getaway!

Wonderful long weekend spent at a cozy cabin with scenic views of cascading waters down a beautiful stream, a hot tub with a view, and a fire pit area. The cabin was beautifully appointed with a cozy sunroom, well-stocked kitchen with some seasonings, crock pot, utensils, and cookware. We enjoyed the quaint living room with a fireplace. The two beds were very comfortable. When we received the 7 pages of directions for the cabin, we were a little taken aback by the details. I don’t think we’ve ever stayed in a rental with such detailed instructions. But, being rule-followers and having an appreciation for any question we had being answered, we were pleased with all the instructions. We understand, nowadays, people don’t always respect others’ stuff! Kathy was very attentive and responsive to our needs and questions! The Starlink was perfect for our use. It was easy to connect to. It was also easy to set up WiFi calling on our phones. We were able to make FaceTime calls to show our families the beautiful place with no problem!

Perfect little getaway!

Our family needed some down time to rest, reconnect and be together! This home provided just that! Listening to the stream everyday was so beautiful and brought such peace! The hot tub was great and so much fun to have some nice conversation! The beds were comfy and the couches were too!! We enjoyed every minute of staying at this rental! The location of it is beautiful in the mountains, although I will admit it’s a little unnerving getting out of the driveway! But that’s only because people sometime fly around the curves! We cannot wait for our next trip back to Franklin, and booking this house - or maybe another one of Kathy’s houses again! Thanks for a great stay!

Enjoyable stay

The highlights of our stay were the creek, the fire pit and the hot tub. The cafe lights around the fire pit over the little footbridge was idyllic and picturesque. A few things to be aware of : We did not realize that there was not a primary bedroom with en-suite bath- the 2nd bathroom is also the laundry room and located just off the kitchen which was odd but older homes can be quirky- it’s part of their charm. Please be aware the coffee pot is very basic, can’t be programmed and no auto shutoff - takes a long time to brew. Also please know that due to the possibility of attracting bears or critters there is no outside trash bin and you’re asked to haul away your own household trash. The trash are is about 5 miles away so not a big deal. Lovely place and we would stay again.The surrounding area is beautiful and downtown Franklin was also very nice- we made a trip to Andrews for a rail bike tour and we highly recommend that Great communication from the host and quick response.whenever I had a question.

Our Respite

In leu of the huricane, (Helene), we came and enjoyed the much needed rest. We never lost power and were able to watch the "Big Game" Ala. vs. Ga. I won't say who we were rooting for but we were happy with the outcome, whew! We would have liked to enjoy the hot tub more but the drizzle kept us out. ): The gas log fireplace was such a nice addition to add ambiance to our stay. Thank you Kathy for working with us on our stay, my wife had a wonderful birthday. I would recomend this place to others!

2nd Stay-Perfect Again

Stayed at the cabin for a girl's trip last summer and it was amazing. I had been hatching a plan to come back with my husband and daughter (19yrs) since then. Now they understand why I wanted to bring them here. The cabin is cozy and comfortable. The hot tub overlooking the creek is relaxing. The location of the cabin is perfect, as well. Just a few minutes into the adorable town of Franklin with many shops and restaurants. The Scottish Tartan museum was interesting. Lovely hikes nearby. I can't wait to come back and stay again soon.

A good stay

The description of property is 100% accurate as are comments made by others who have stayed here. This home has beautiful flowers growing all around the property which adds a beautiful touch. The outside is as good as the inside. VERY clean, cozy and quiet. The electricity went off for seconds the night before we left. It shut off the WIFI and DISH TV. We couldn't figure out how to reset systems. Maybe instructions to do so would be helpful for future guests. We stayed 7 nights and had the best time at the house and in the Franklin area.

Great place for a quick getaway

The house had everything we needed for a relaxing two night getaway, and the hot tub next to the creek was delightful. The house is much closer to the road than the photos make it seem, and although there is not much traffic, headlights shine into the 2nd bedroom whenever a car does come by.

Nice mountain retreat

We had a nice time at the house. It is close to the road and can be a little loud when motorcycles drive by. The Internet went down the first day and the landline did not work so we had no way to make phone calls and did not have Wi-Fi the first night, which was distressing for my wife. This was handled the next day when the host told me how to reset the internet. There are quite a lot of rules as to clean up, driving the trash to the local dump and basically cleaning up the entire house prior to leaving. Next time we may consider staying in a hotel so that we can enjoy the relaxation part a little bit more. But overall, it is inexpensive and a nice getaway.

About the host

Host profile image
Hello, thanks for viewing our property! We bought this home in 2016 because we loved the location on the stream and the fact it is always 10 degrees cooler here than in downtown Franklin! We live a large part of the time in Georgia where summertime heat is inescapable and the Fall leaves are never quite as spectacular. We decided in June of 2017 to share what we think is a wonderful mountain retreat with others. We hope you love it as much as we do! We have another home 3 doors down if you need more space, VRBO #7935707 as well as another 11 miles away on Lake Nantahala, VRBO # 9453752. Additionally we have 2 vacation homes in the Florida Keys (VRBO #1027392 and VRBO # 2413494) and another on a beautiful lake in Central Florida, VRBO #1090075.
We take pride in offering guests immaculate surroundings with tasteful decor and all the creature comforts of home. Your comments and suggestions are welcome as we strive to provide a seamless vacation for our guests! We will be easily accessible via telephone, text, and e-mail before and during your stay. Thank you for considering booking with us.....I hope you'll become a repeat visitor!
