The cabin was very spacious for our group of eight senior golfers.Plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The game room downstairs got a lot of use. The outdoor deck was comfortable and well-furnished. You are forewarned by the hosts about the road to the cabin. It is definitely tight and scary, but we got used to it. The beautiful cabin is worth the drive.Mike G.

Very quiet area. Cabin was as described. Two things to note: you enter on the main floor where there's the master bedroom with the king bed and a room with two twins. There is a spiral staircase to get to the loft (2 twin beds but low ceilings, definitely for kids) and the finished basement, the full and the queen rooms are in the basement area with the game room. The road coming in is one lane for about 2 miles. We figured it out if we came upon another vehicle but I was not prepared. Would absolutely book again.

Mountain Vacation

We enjoyed our stay, the house was much nicer then the pictures showed! (new picture should be taken) plenty of room for all of us. My grandson loved the tire swing. The screened porch was wonderful for breakfasts in the am and card playing in the evening. Loved our stay.

We arrived and were happily surprised that everything was as listed and shown. Had fires in fire pit. Played tons of pool and cards in game room. Had fun family dinners in dining room. A wonderful place to stay.

Overall the property was amazing. The location is difficult to get to with a car so be warned about that. The matress in the king bedroom needs to be replaced. Otherwise a great stay.

It was an amazing combination of rustic and modern convenience. The kid's had a blast downstairs and oh that tire swing! The deck was perfect, the door from the master leading to the covered porch, chef's kiss. Hopefully it's available when we book for next year. Close to Franklin, Highland's and Cashier's! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Nice retreat

We rented this cabin to spend New Years and it was lovely, it was a great to be apart from the city and experience nature. We didn't spot much wildlife, but we did go to a lake and a waterfall that is a short drive away. The house itself it big, and all rooms were enough for us 8.

Life long friends mountain visit

The cabin was fantastic. It was equipped with all necessary items and more. Plenty of room for our group and a very peaceful area. We have been coming to this are for 40+ years camping but because of age we no longer desire to sleep in tents on air mattress. We will definitely keep this place in mind for future visits.

Pictures on VRBO don’t really do justice.

We were very happy with Buck Falls Cabin. The home is beautiful and very clean and comfortable. I would suggest new listing photos as the current photos don’t do the home justice. Thank you Sally.

Family get together

This place is ideal for a family get together or reunion. There were eight adults and two children, and we had plenty of room to move around in and avoid each other if we wanted to there’s lots of deck space and outdoor. The only thing I would we would’ve liked is for the grocery store to be a little bit closer so be sure you have everything you need because it’s quite a drive to go pick something up if you forget it

Thanks for sharing Gayle. We are glad your group of 8 were comfortable in this spacious home. We do send our list of grocery stores in advance so that Guests can stop before they arrive and stock up! Food Lion is the closest, not more than 15 minutes toward Franklin. Sally

Fantastic!

The cabin itself is fantastic. Soaring ceiling in the kitchen and living room area. Wonderful decks with beautiful views. The sound of the bubbling brook running through the property is great! Our family of 6, plus a friend had the best time and made wonderful memories. Nearby Franklin and Highlands have great little shopping areas and we saw a couple of incredible waterfalls that really made the trip (Dry Falls and Cullasaja).

The house was clean and ready for us! Love the touch of having toiletry items in the bathroom for us! My only complaint, which wasn’t a big deal, not all the recliners work in the theater room. We will definitely be back!
