The cabin was beautiful. It was decorated so nicely. It looked like a Hallmark movie. It was clean well equipped and located in a very tranquil location. We will definitely stay there again.
Property was beautiful and clean. Hot tub was great, fireplace was nice. Close to a great restaurant and several shops. The driveway was a little scary since I'm not used to mountain terrain but we made it! Owners are very responsive. Highly recommend!!
Had a great stay, the cabin is exceptionally clean and has everything you need. The only concern was the steepness of the driveway. Several reviews said taking a motorcycle up was not a problem, however, would not recommend it. The communications with the owner was excellent. Would stay again just not with the bikes.
We rented this cabin to house part of our family who were coming to Franklin for a larger gathering. The layout worked well, giving everyone their own space while also providing a common area where we could enjoy time together. The owners were easy to contact and quick to respond to any questions.
Came up for the weekend to take my kiddo tubing and on the Polar Express for his birthday. The cabin was beautiful and in a perfect location. It’s a peaceful place away from the noise. The driveway is a little steep but luckily we brought our truck, so had no problems. Definitely would come back and stay again in the future.
My husband and I stayed for a weekend and LOVED it. We are already planning to return. The cabin is beautiful and the floor plan is perfect for families or couples with friends. The cabin is 3 levels and has a bedroom and bathroom on each level. The gas fireplace and hot tub were big bonuses, as well as the large front porch. We only wish we could have stayed longer!
A convenient weekend stayover in Paradise, the mountains of North Carolina
I worked for two weeks in the area and over the weekend took a VRBO and had my son and family join me. We had a three day blast. It was so much fun. The Cabin was fabulous and the hosts were unobtrusive and very kind and helpful via phone and text. We will stay there again in a heartbeat.
Guys golf trip! Sky Valley was 20 minutes to the south.
Sequoyah National was 35 minutes to the north.
Could not ask for a more centrally located place to stay that is quiet….just a minute off the main road, and had all the amenities we needed!
Thank you!
Great location and lots to see in the area, great for bikers.
Five Star home in a super quiet location. The home is set up great and would be ideal for three couples. Not far from restaurants and grocery stores. Nice and quiet location with a great deck....I would stay at this property again. We came on motorcycles and had not problems with the incline of the driveway.

Outstanding cabin home & close to everything!
Beautiful and clean cabin- looking forward to our return visit. The only downside is the steep driveway especially after a rain... but it’s a cabin in the mountains after all! Bring extra trash bags, paper towels & coffee if you have an extended stay. Kids loved chasing the lightening bugs every night!

Response from VrboOwner on 8 Sept 2023
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that y’all enjoyed your stay and look forward to having you back. I apologize for the first short section of our driveway, as it was not paved due to utility work for our neighbor who owns that property. The good news is that as soon as the season slows down, it will be getting paved! As for the supplies, we do only provide a starter supply, but can definitely increase the amount we provide. We look forward to making all of these improvements, ideally before your next visit. We take great pride in offering a clean and enjoyable place to stay. See you again soon!
Property was clean, and comfortable. Plenty of room for whole family. only negatives was steep driveway and patio door would not open from outside. Could go around to front door easily though.
House was perfect for our needs. Driveway may be a little steep for some but we got used to it (even with motorcycles). Nice hosts. Clean house. All good
A last minute opportunity came for a short getaway to ride in the mountains. Our group chose to stay in the mountains of Georgia and do day rides into the Carolinas and Tennessee. I found this mountain cabin on VRBO, and after verifying with the owner that it was motorcycle accessible I was able to secure it for our stay. The accommodations were perfect for our group. We would stay here again.
Everything about this property is fabulous! It's located centrally for access to so many different activities and still offers a great deal of privacy for a full mountain getaway experience. The owners had all three levels decorated for Christmas and it was absolutely gorgeous. They obviously take great pride in this home and it shows. You will not regret making it your choice for your next vacation in North Carolina. We would not hesistate to book here again.
We enjoyed the cabin! My only complaint is that we had to call to get the access code. It never updated in the VRBO system. I did eventually receive an email from the owner with the access code, but that was the day after we checked in. I'm not sure if that was a system error or what.
We will definitely stay here again.
We had an absolutely wonderful time staying at this beautiful log cabin in the Smoky Mountains.The location couldn't be better—just a short 5-minute drive to Franklin and a 20 minute drive to gorgeous waterfalls and stunning mountain views!The cabin exudes charm and coziness.It has everything you could need for a comfortable stay, including a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, and living room.The bedrooms are spacious, and the overhead loft with its own full bathroom is ideal for kids or guests who don't require extra privacy.The finished basement was a hit with our family; it features a bedroom, piano, living room with a log futon.Both floors are equipped with Satellite TV and Wi-Fi, which kept everyone entertained throughout our stay.One of our favorite features was the hot tub outside the basement—it was the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring.We also appreciated the air conditioning and loved the fireplace This cabin truly felt like a home away from home. We felt immediately at ease. We can't wait to return and create more wonderful memories in this lovely vacation home.
Our first vacation in 4 years & we were very pleased with this house. AC is much needed in this area during summer days & the central air system was fabulous. Though just two of us (seniors), we really liked the spacious nature of the house. Having a bedroom and bathroom on each floor was super.We enjoyed having coffee & reading on the tranquil, covered back deck.The porch furniture was quite comfy, the gas grill worked well. We enjoyed how secluded it felt, even though it was really close to everything.
We were VRBO hosts in western NC for decades, but this was our first time as a VRBO guest.There are definite shortcomings in the VRBO system for guests. VRBO gave us wrong info. Be sure to contact the host directly via email with any questions regarding the house or check in.
If you plan on cooking a lot or entertaining during your visit, be sure to ask the host in advance about kitchen items/supplies that you'll be needing. Prior renters obviously put items away dirty (only reason we gave a 4 instead of 5).
It's great in this area to have a paved driveway, especially when the drive is so steep. We kicked our vehicle into low gear when on the inclines & had no issues. In icy conditions, we'd definitely want all wheel or 4 wheel drive.
The hot tub is located on a lower level.The entry to the tub is a set of wooden stairs that made it super awkward for us to enter or exit, so we devised a "Plan B", entering on the opposite side of the tub that worked better!

About the host
Hosted by Timothy Bleckley
Why they chose this property
This home was built as our primary residence, but circumstances have caused us to move away temporarily. We built this home ourselves and decorated it for us to live in. With that being said, this home has many personal touches of a resident of WNC that was born and raised just down the road from the cabin. We are excited to share the beauty of Franklin, NC with our guests and assist you in any way to make this a memorable stay.
What makes this property unique
Our property is in a quiet location, close to town and many attractions. We have a large hot tub and a surround sound system. The community down the mountain from our home is a peaceful area that is enjoyable to roam.
