This cabin was super cute and secluded. It was privately owned by the family members living around the cabins and excellent pricing. We loved the porch with an amazing view and the hot tub was the absoulte best. It was close to the town and the driveway plus the cabin is well mantained.

Cabin in the woods

The cabin was very cute and comfortable. It was a bit smaller than I expected but perfect for two people. The location was nice, not too far from the hiking trails we wanted to do. Overall it was a great place to relax and unwind.

Nice small cabin

This was a nice little cabin. Private and yet not far from town. Perfect stay. Everything you need was provided to cook small meals. The hot tub was the best. Nice to soak in and enjoy nature.

Another great vacation.

This was our second visit to "The Pines". We thoroughly enjoyed the spotless cabin, hiking Wayah Bald and the eating at the Haywood Smokehouse. The fresh dozen eggs were much appreciated. Thank you for a great stay. Tom and Shirley

Nice Labor Day Weekend

Place was great! Especially the hot tub, which is what drew us to the property in the first place. Do yourself a HUGE favor though, follow Tim's directions that he supplies. Don't use Google Maps. It took us some crazy and scary places.

Rainy stay

Although it rained most of our stay the driveway wasn’t a problem. Really enjoyed the back deck/porch. Hot tub was nice. Only suggestion I would make would be to invest in new fry pans. Farm fresh eggs were great, but almost impossible to fry in pans available.

Wonderful except for beds and sofa

Overall the property was clean, charming, and everything we had hoped for. The only drawback was the uncomfortable bed on wheels and the sofa that was visibly worn down. Both were uncomfortable and caused back issues for myself and my partner. The hot tub was amazing and was a wonderful added touch.

I find this review interesting. You are the first couple to ever report that our bed was uncomfortable, and I am not sure what to make of the comment of it being on wheels? It is a pretty standard metal bed frame with rug rollers on the ends and typical platform bases in the middle. As for the couch- it is actually less than two years old and was a high end couch so it shouldnt be that uncomfortable? We do appreciate the feedback and will certainly check in on both and see if anything needs to be addressed/replaced. We are glad you enjoyed the hot tub and your stay otherwise.

Great cabin near town!

Great cabin near the town of Franklin! You feel like you’re out in the country, but you aren’t far from anything (grocery, gas, Walmart, restaurants, pharmacy). The cabin can fit 4 people, but we felt that it was plenty cozy with 3 of us (parents + teenager). We loved the big covered porch, the grove of pine trees off of the porch, and the hot tub. The fresh eggs were delicious! You have to drive some, but Franklin is a well-located and good-priced base for getting to other towns in the region (Sylva/Dillsboro and Waynesville for eating & shopping and Bryson City for rafting and ziplining, etc.). Just sorry that we didn’t make it to Highlands or Cherokee this trip.

Nice cabin in the woods

Great little place to stay! Just what my wife and I needed while on a motorcycle trip. The hot tub was a major plus after a long day of riding motorcycles in the mountains. Nestled up in the woods, it feels like you're miles away from anyone! A little mis communication on check in was quickly resolved by the owner. Location can be a bit tricky find. Be sure to read the supplied directions carefully. The driveway is VERY steep. We traversed it on motorcycle without trouble, but it could pose a fair challenge to most average skilled motorcyclist. Hope the cabin is available the next time we visit the area!
