Comfortable, roomy, and absolutely spotless cabin. Very well appointed. A little out of the way and recommend an All-wheel-drive to access the front door, or, use lower, easily accessed secondary parking and walk your luggage up ten steps. Photos on-line are accurate as of April 12, 2026. Decent cell signal, good WiFi, healthy HVAC system. Quiet neighborhood and just far enough off of highway 28 to miss the noise. NOTE: stepped entrance should be considered when handicapped persons are reserving.

We enjoy our cabin and we want our guest to also enjoy all it has to offer. The 2 closest towns are Franklin and Highlands. The waterfalls on the way to Highlands makes it a nice scenic drive. Fall is definitely a gorgeous time of the year at the cabin!

Thanksgiving Getaway

We really enjoyed our stay over Thanksgiving and overall had a great experience at the cabin. No detail was missed and the Luisa was very accommodating letting us check in early. Franklin is just a short drive away and offers a great small town experience. Lots to do nearby, would definitely stay again.

Attractive cabin but near a busy road

We enjoyed our stay in the cabin and especially the large deck. We can tell the cabin was professionally designed and equipped. Nice beds. Unfortunately the road noise below is distracting.

Thank you for staying at our cabin, we're glad you enjoyed the amenities the cabin has to offer. I want to clarify the comment regarding the road noise, it is stated in our listing that the cabin is near a main road, however inside the cabin you do not hear any outside noises. When you step outside, you will hear the road noise as is expected being in the mountains, the acoustics of noise does travel but the sound is not obnoxious. The cabin is situated several hundred feet from the main road.

Lovely, Clean Cabin

My family stayed a few nights at this cabin and we had a lovely time! We have very high cleanliness standards and this house was kept in fantastic condition. From the kitchenware to linens to furniture - everything was very well maintained. It truly felt like staying at a hotel. We will definitely book this cabin on our next trip to NC!

Very well equipped for your needs

We enjoyed our visit very much. The mountains out the window, the fireplace ( we bought starters), and they did have other things to use which we just did not have time for like the grill and downstairs recreation area. Beds were comfortable and you really felt like you were into cabinet life. It’s very convenient to the highway so that you can have a view of the mountains without having to drive up high to see it. Not being current with all the latest TV choices like Netflix, Hulu, peacock,etc. we be did not use the TV.

About the host

Hosted by Robert or Malu

Host profile image
Originally from Maryland, where we enjoyed the Blue Ridge Mountains, now living in Florida. We used to vacation frequently in the Smoky Mountains but were not always impressed with homes we stayed in. We bought our home here because we enjoy the outdoors, we love hiking, the views, the waterfalls and all That the Smokies has to offer. When we decided to share our home so others could have the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, we wanted to make sure our guests would feel like this is their home away from home. Providing them with a comfortable, clean home, with the amenities we ourselves have come to expect. It is delightful to hear from our guests and read the reviews on how much they enjoy their stay in our home.

Why they chose this property

Beautiful mountain views from the wrap-around porch, where you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the Nantahala Forest.

What makes this property unique

A true cabin with all the modern amenities. Easy to access and close proximity to several waterfalls and scenic spots. Close to town for shopping and dining (Franklin and Highlands)
