About this property

Gated Comm*Big Family Cabin*Hot Tub*Fire-pit*Views

Welcome to The Hideaway, your retreat in the mountains of Western North Carolina.

The cabin sits on 5 acres in Franklin's premier gated community at a 2400ft elevation giving you spectacular ridge top views throughout, especially on either of the two spacious decks. This gentle piece of land also features a gazebo & fire pit that overlooks our pond & creek that runs for several hundred feet through the lower area of the property.

Unwind amongst tranquil settings in the 6-seater jetted hot tub on the lower deck while watching the sun set behind the mountains. Adirondack chairs on the lower deck, and an outdoor sofa on the upper provide plenty of seating to rest and relax while listening to the quiet sounds of nature.

Inside, there is plenty of space to unwind by either of the large gas fireplaces located in both of the 2 living rooms. The home is laid out across 2 main levels, & a full loft which offers all in your party ample room to enjoy your stay, and have your space without feeling cramped in. The lower living area provides a stocked coffee bar with microwave and mini fridge, as well as a ping pong table for entertainment.

Smart Tv's are offered in all bedrooms, as well as the living rooms along with wireless high speed internet throughout. The cabin is equipped with a whole home back-up generator in the unlikely event of a power outage.

If you plan on cooking in, the kitchen is very well stocked to suit your needs with comfortable seating for up to 12 between the dining room table, and kitchen bar. However, if you decide to eat out, downtown Franklin is only a short 10 minute drive. Conveniently, a Super Ingles, Walmart, and Food Lion are only 5 minutes down the road as well.

Our property is easily accessible from a paved road, with a well-maintained gravel driveway and parking areas. Guests have full access to the entire home, stream, and pond on this 5-acre property.

Franklin and its surrounding areas is an outdoor adventurers paradise! Visit one of the many gem-mining camps where the Cullasaja River unveils its hidden treasure trove of corundum gemstones, boasting varieties of rubies and sapphires. Enjoy the many hiking trails in the area for all skill levels, canoeing and kayaking, river tubing, rewarding fishing trips, breathtaking waterfall explorations, and much more.

If leisure is more your style, the charming downtown area of Franklin has many quaint, local shops to browse. From antiques, to modern gifts, there is something for everyone. Stop in at the Lazy Hiker Brewing Company for beverages and snacks, or visit one of the many local-owned restaurants located on Main St.

The home is available to use, as well as the 5 acres of property. Which include a gentle pasture, with a pond & creek running through that is overlooked by our gazebo.

Fabulous mountain getaway!!

Fantastic, clean, spacious mountain home with glorious views, and multiple amenities to keep everyone entertained right at home!! Close to Franklin, Dillsboro/Sylva and Highlands for exploration. Hiking from the house, scenic waterfalls in 20 minutes. Super comfortable home with plenty of space for large group. Beds, linens, blankets, all comfortable, and cozy. Sunsets from the porches are amazing. Spacious parking.

Clean, Comfortable, and Convenient Mountain Retreat

We had a great stay at this beautiful home! Everything was spotless and felt nearly brand new. The beds were very comfortable, and each bedroom was generously sized — perfect for a relaxing retreat. The kitchen was well appointed with just about everything you might need during your stay, which made meals easy and convenient. The view from the porch was lovely, and although the home is close to the highway (great for access), we didn’t notice much road noise. We especially appreciated the firewood being provided, and the covered pavilion near the firepit was a nice bonus — it allowed us to enjoy the outdoors even during a few afternoon rain showers. The host was also very responsive and helpful, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. All in all, this was a fantastic home base for exploring everything Cashiers and Highlands have to offer. Highly recommend!

What an incredible home! We just finished a week stay and the home is absolutely amazing. It’s new and built with exceptional features and quality sure to please. The views out of the home and off the deck are stunning and exactly what a mountain stay should provide. Sitting outside in the evenings around the gas fire pit provided the best environment for friends to relax and enjoy each other. There is high speed internet which is a plus when in the mountains and the location is perfect and just a few minutes from town/grocery stores/dining. The host/owner Alec is a fantastic host who left no detail unturned when building this home and for providing for his guests. Everything was super clean and fully equipped. You can’t go wrong with this amazing home. We have been visiting the area for decades and continually look for great properties and we found one we will be booking again for sure! Thanks Alec for providing such an awesome home and experience for us!
