Pictures don’t do justice to this property, it is absolutely beautiful, and the view from the mountain top is stunning. The drive up to and down from the property was very exciting. The house is very spacious and our group of four couples was very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The host was very welcoming and responsive. We highly recommended this place!

What an amazing house with large rooms and lots of adult toys. The view is phenomenal with mountains from one end of the deck to the other. No matter how many pictures or video it was hard to capture how amazing this view really is. We saw deers and we were so happy with the paved roads leading up to this gorgeous home. I highly recommend this property. We needed help with the dish tv set up and got a response to help us quickly. Thank you for sharing such an amazing property.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful Franklin mountain home for just over a month. The views are absolutely spectacular—honestly, even better than the photos! It was such a pleasure to wake up every morning and enjoy the mountains and peaceful surroundings.The home was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained, and the kitchen was extremely well equipped with everything we needed for an extended stay. Another big plus was the easy access to the house. The roads were excellent and easy to navigate, which is not always the case with mountain properties.Curt was a terrific host—friendly, helpful, and very responsive whenever we had a question. He clearly takes pride in his home and in making sure his guests have a great experience.After spending more than a month here, I can comfortably say this is a wonderful place to stay in the Franklin area. Beautiful home, incredible views, easy access, and a great host. I would definitely recommend it!

This is our second year staying here. Curt does a great job of communicating and answers questions/concerns timely. This year we found the oven not working (cook top was fine). I contacted Curt and within a few days a brand new stove was delivered. If you want a place with views this is it. From the moment you walk in the door you are greeted with extremely high ceilings and expansive windows that give you an awesome view. Once you open the sliding door to will step out onto a very large deck that overlooks the valley below and the surrounding mountains. Inside you will find one unbelievably large Master bedroom with two bathroom areas and a large shower. The main floor has an additional master bedroom and another large bedroom with two single beds. Downstairs you will find a huge game room with air hockey, foosball, and a pool table (needs to be recovered, but is still fun). A new addition this year is a new, very large, smart tv with theatre seating for four. There is also another large master bedroom. The three masters all have king size beds and private bathrooms. I will more than likely stay here again. I think the value is very good.

Great house for our group. The kitchen is well stocked. The house is perfect for visiting with each other. We love the stereo speakers on the porch. It was easy to get to Franklin for shopping and to the local golf courses.

This is an absolutely gorgeous house built on the side of a mountain, pictures do not do the view Justice... Curt, The homeowner goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. I would highly recommend this stay. I don't think you will find a better long-range view in North Carolina...

Great way to close out our year!

The property is exactly as you see in the pictures - clean, spacious, filled with enough entertainment for a day in, and topped off with a stellar view. The owners and property manager are easy to get in contact with and were extremely attentive when our stay started off a little bumpy. This experience exceeded our expectations, and we would love to stay here again!

Great house no matter the weather.

This was the third time we’ve stayed in this home. All the king beds are perfect for the couples and the room with two single beds works for our two kids to sleep next door to mom and dad. A big plus is everybody having their own bathroom AND everyone loves the entertainment room. We have already booked our next stay.
