About this property

The Beautiful View!! One in a Million Dollar Views!!

This is a small and rustic cabin located at the top of a mountain in Franklin. The view is breath taking, the air is crisp and fresh and atmosphere is calm and serene. It is important to note that the drive way is made of gravel and is very steep. It would be imperative to have a four wheel drive (4x4) to get to the top. We look forward to hosting you!


The Cabin has one bedroom and a loft that is accessible with ladder. A sleeper sofa in living room No Small Children need to access this loft. The cabin has one spacious bathroom with washer and dryer. The kitchen is equipped with coffee maker, microwave, stove top and oven. https://youtu.be/bBClwUftS7w?si=rsCvHWXnA3BXLH-4

Great little cabin. Everything was as advertised! The recommendation to have a 4 wheel drive was correct, making the experience even better! Bring your own soap and shampoo! Will come again in the winter!

Beautiful little house, perfect location!

This house was absolutely perfect, and the view is even better than the pictures! The cabin is cozy and was the perfect size for the two of us and our dog. We brought food for all of our meals and were able to cook and enjoy them on the front porch. The house has a tin roof so cross your fingers for a rain storm- it was magical! Good proximity to the blue ridge parkway and lots of different trails.

Fabulous View!

If you like seclusion and privacy, this is your property! The view was amazing! It is somewhat of a rustic cabin, but had all the amenities needed! Having a washer in the dryer is a plus over some available properties, it also had dish TV ! I would return to this property. Susan was very responsive to any communications needed.

What you’re paying for on this property is the amazing view, the cabin could use some updating. The sofa is worn, the buttons have popped out and left holes. The driveway is an adventure for sure and it’s a good place to unwind!!

The view!!

We got in super late at night and had no trouble finding the property!! Took a minute for us to figure out that we had to go around the house to find the lockbox but we got in, no problem! I love waking up and looking outside to see where we are and the view here was SUCH an incredible treat!! Great place to disconnect and soak up some real quiet time! We loved it 😍😍

Another great stay

Very happy the owners open this to the public. It is the best... for solitude and scenery... and isolation. Believe the owners when they say "4WD necessary". This is our second but not last stay in this cabin... .All the 5 stars in my rating are well deserved. Maintenance on the driveway has been done but you better have 4wd. Believe me the stay is worth the more than price. We will be back!

Heaven

Amazing view! Scary as he'll driveway! U MUST have a 4 wheel drive for this driveway. Put it in 4 wheel and just creep right up. It's part of this places ambiance. Come over the last little hill at the top of the driveway and the view will take your breath away. It's safe just scary cause at times it feels like your going straight vertical! But totally worth it! If your looking for a quiet location in a cozy authintic mountain setting, this is the place for you! Immediately felt like home.

Absolutely brilliant place to stay for a few weeks working in Franklin! I was overconfident about the driveway before booking with my rear wheel drive GMC Yukon so the 10 minute walk from the bottom was a daily feat, but anything with 4wd should be perfectly fine! A perfect blend of proximity to town, far-out atmosphere, and natural beauty all around. Susan was incredibly helpful and even checked in periodically through text. Make sure to check out all the cool moths on the front porch every day! Will absolutely stay again if I’m vacationing in the area, and would recommend to absolutely anyone!

Although we weren't able to stay at the cabin because our vehicle couldn't safely make it up the steep driveway, the owner was wonderful to work with. She was responsive, kind, and fair throughout the entire process. After reviewing the situation, she refunded nearly our entire payment, which we truly appreciated. While our trip didn't go as planned, her professionalism and excellent customer service left us with a very positive impression. We were unable to see the cabin, so unable to review the cabin itself, however I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others, especially if they have a vehicle that can comfortably handle the driveway.

Best cabin with the most incredible view!!!

We greatly enjoyed our stay here. It is an thrill getting up to the cabin. Just put on the gas and go. Don't let off the gas till reach the top. At this point, you'll be hooked with the view, remoteness and rustic charm. Our little AWD SUV had no problem going up or coming down.. You are in the mountains. If your afraid of heights, and guardrailless mountain dirt roads stay in the city. As for us, we'll be coming back here to this enchanted place for many years to come. While your in the area check out the many waterfalls, its a hike to most of them but definitely worth it. Fish for trout in the beautiful streams, and take a scenic ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway. There are many antique shops in the area and Maggie Valley is always fun.
