Beautiful cabin in the mountains!! This was the best equipped kitchen of any house we have ever rented!! The view was stunning. We loved having the extra space downstairs. The host was very available for any questions or concerns.
Spent a weekend just catching up with our kids and things happening in their lives. Cabin was very comfortable and there were lots of things to do there during our stay.
This is a wonderful house with plenty of room for the whole family. The room downstairs is great for children and teenagers to be entertained and have their own space. We have stayed here two years in a row during Christmas vacation and hope to make it a family tradition!
The cabin was large enough and acommidating to our party size. We enjoyed the quite mountain side, and the view. Of course we went gem mining and seen some of the waterfalls.
Excellent views, love the decor and cabin. The game room in the basement is awesome!!! Very peaceful and feels like you’re in the wilderness. Highly recommend if you’re in the Franklin, NC area.
Everything was lovely, comfortable and in great working order. This home had plenty of everything- space, kitchen supplies and scenery. Highly recommend! Perfect for our family group aged 6 months to 72 years and every age in between.
This cabin was perfect for our family to hang out and enjoy time we don't normally have together. Great location and beautiful scenery next to the fire pit. Our host was spot on with any questions or concerns. Highly recommend for those important family reunions.
Wonderful way to visit Franklin and surrounding area
This 7 bedroom log cabin in Franklin was a delight. It offered us lovely views in the tree tops. It's very shaded and has a wonderful deck to reconnect with family in comfort. The teenagers especially loved the game room (pool, table tennis, fooseball). You will not be disappointed if you try this fine home.
Absolutely amazing. The photos do not do this cabin any justice! It is gorgeous and spaacious!The communication with owner was great. We will be returning.
We had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed the mountain home. The kids loved the basement floor with all of the games, and would only come up to eat. I enjoyed hiking around the property, doing yoga each morning in the large outdoor porch, and taking in nature. The home was spacious and comfortable for my family of 16 to stay for a week. We had a very memorable Thanksgiving.
We loved this home! The game room has so much for kids to do and the hot tub is right outside. Kept our teens happy.
The kitchen is stocked with Air Fryer, Instapot, every thing you could conceivably need.
Every area outside has lots of seating and tables to put your coffee mug down.
Beautiful view!
We highly recommend.
We were a multi-generational group wanting to take a relaxing vacation and this was exactly what we got. The owners have thought of everything. So much to do but the best was to sit around the fire pit at night and on the deck in the mornings with coffee planning our day. The area is beautiful with so many things to do if you are outdoorsy. Everyone in our group loved the cabin. We will definitely use this one again.
The house is beautifully decorated, extremely nice furnishings and appliances. Everything we needed was there. I wish the master bedroom had been on the first floor, as my husband and I (who rented it) are elderly and stairs are difficult, so we didn't get to use it. A warning about the difficulty of the approach in the listing would be helpful as well.
We rented Ribble's Retreat for a multi-generational family vacation and were not disappointed. The cabin is charming with themed and tastefully decorated rooms, lots of activities available when we weren't out exploring the area, and a simply gorgeous view from the deck.
There was plenty of room for our 15-person group, and the youngsters particularly enjoyed having the bottom floor to themselves.
The one nearby house was vacant nearly all week and didn't detract from our enjoyment.
Travel quite a lot. Cleanest and best quality workmanship we have ever seen in a home. All nine cousins agreed this was our best reunion ever - in no small part because of the excellent facility. Other big factor was communications with the owner - outstanding.
Our family vacation included 16 people from 2 to retirement age! We all fit comfortably and had a great time with the house games, TVs, and that VIEW! Only one car fits up the narrow road to the house so sometimes you have to back up if you meet another car but it wasnt inconvenient. The host was absolutely perfect!
This is a great home for large family gatherings. There were 14 of us, 3 generations with ages ranging from 72 to 6. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you needed. The kids were entertained in the game room while adults had their space as well. The hot tub was a big hit. The drive up to the house was a bit curvy if you're not used to mountain driving. I would highly recommend this home and host.
Property was nice and secluded which is what we were looking for. Plenty to do within driving range. We brought plenty of games and cooking items that weren’t necessary. The house was fully stocked with any game or anything we needed to come/bake with.
The driveway up to it was a little sketchy for someone not prepared for it. But we managed it just fine. It was perfect for our group of 16
