Awesome view!

We loved our view of all the mtns in full color! The home was so comfortable and beautifully decorated. Loved sitting on the deck and relaxing while having our morning coffee or out under the stars and full moon while we were there. Everything was very clean! The owners have done a great job and are very quick to answer any questions.

Dear Peggy, Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review. We are so happy that you enjoyed our mountain home as much as we do. We completely transformed the house inside and out and it means a lot to hear how much people are enjoying it. We fell in love with that view and it brings us so much peace and joy. Something so special about the mountains! We hope that you will stay with us again in the future. Take care. Mary, RIchard/Owners

Charming Mountaintop Home A-Frame

This home is absolutely the most charming I have stayed in. The owners are wonderful and so helpful in every way. The mountain view is incredible. I do not think I could have found a more beautiful place to stay. It has 2 bedrooms and a little study area. The living room space is wonderful. And the patio overlooks the mountains which speaks for itself. You will not be disappointed. The road to the cabin is windy and narrow so prepare for an adventure! We will be back!

Amazing view

We enjoyed our stay here for the Franklin gem show. I don’t think the pics can capture the beauty of the view of the mountains from the porch. Morning coffee on the porch, watching the fog roll over the mountains was our favorite part of the stay. Cute back yard area and felt private. The house is cozy and comfy and perfect for us, my mom and two friends. The gravel road to the house is a bit steep in places and may give some pause, but I had no issues with it. It was freshly graded and I just took it slow and easy! I did wonder what would happen if I encountered another car coming the opposite direction, but thankfully that never happened!

Windy narrow road, not easy access

I had high hopes for this reservation, being close to family in the area. The picture show access roads that are paved and not that much of an incline. However, it’s up on a mountain and the road leading up is narrow and high. Unfortunately my family was too concerned to proceed up the narrow road up, so we had to find another location. I contacted the host, and only was told other people make it up all the time, which doesn’t change my situation at all.

Poor

During Hurricane Helene. Lost power and water on day #1 Were told by municipality once they cleared the fallen trees to leave and not return. Had to find another place to stay. We expect some type of refund, since we were not allowed to stay by the municipality. Before all this however, we noticed there was mold and mildew on the bathroom shower curtains. Light bulbs burned out and not replaced on light fixtures.

Perfect girlfriend getaway

We had the best time at this cabin. It is big enough for a good 10 people if you bring your own air mattresses! The cabin has every thing you need, kitchen is fully equipped, just bring your food! It’s a 3 level cabin with one bedroom and bathroom on the first floor. The 2nd floor has a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living room with TV and nice size dining area! There’s a spare room with a couch. It’s set up like a little den, with a nice size closet! Go up one more set of stairs for the 3rd bedroom. There’s a boom box with CD player and nice speakers. A desk, queen bed and a closet. It’s a roomy place that makes for a perfect getaway on top of a mountain! It’s decorated nicely and very clean! I can’t imagine anyone being disappointed with this gem! Going into town in Franklin is very quaint and the people are friendly. Whether you’re shopping or eating… plenty of both! The surrounding towns have shopping and eats as well! Our host Mary was so kind and very accommodating! You won’t be disappointed!!!

Exceeded Our Expectations

Let me start by saying I don’t like taking the time to leave reviews; but, I always read reviews. I will keep this short- it’s worth the drive up. The road most of they way up was scary to me the first time; we arrived right at dark. After the second time up, it really wasn’t bad. I backed up the driveway after the first night and it was much easier to leave. The house is beautiful and was super clean! The floor was clean, the kitchen was clean, bedrooms were clean, bathrooms were clean, and living room was clean. The couch is brand new, the sheets felt wonderful, the towels smelled nice and clean, there was full hand-soap in the bathrooms, a nice washer and dryer, dish soap, toilet paper, paper towels and all the kitchen items you’d need. I loved that I didn’t have to pack towels and linens. Look, there are areas of imperfection if you want to nitpick, but this house is beautiful and very well kept!!! The pictures really don’t do this property justice and the view is so stunning. It’s also very well situated between some great towns to visit. Me, my husband and our 3 daughters (5, 10, and 20) all had a great stay and can’t wait to come back!

The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The rooms were clean, beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well appointed. The road to the house was in very good shape, and the view was well worth the drive. We did find a couple small issues that could be easily corrected. The freezer has a tear in the bottom right corner of the seal that allows warm air into the freezer causing frost buildup. It kept food items and ice frozen just fine, but the frost could become a bigger issue over time. The bathrooms could use some extra towels and washcloths, and an extra blanket for each room would be welcomed. The bedroom on the main floor could use a shelf unit or wall shelves so anyone using that room could avoid having to "live" out of their suitcases. The main bedroom ceiling light near the door to outside does not work properly and won't stay on. None of these issues are major but could improve renters overall stay. All said, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again!

Appreciate the five star review but would definitely not rent to this guest again. There was damage done to my house and obviously a lot more guests stayed in the home then were reported. Excessive cleaning was required.

Cute house with nice mountain views from both deck and inside the living area. Property needs some minor TLC ( a couple doors not closing properly, step from house onto deck needs repair, and deck needs repainting) but overall was fine. Beds (queen?) a little cramped for 2 adults but made due. Wifi had intermittent outages which was annoying. Speed would range from 0-7 Mbps. Need a coffee table in living area to set drinks on. Had to use a chair instead. Appliances all worked fine, had a keurig, and kitchen was well furnished except no can opener and no pantry items of any kind ( salt, pepper, spices, cooking spray, etc). Fair amount of road noise from the highway but quieted down at night. The road up seemed adequate although some flat landers might think it is a little intimidating initially, but you will quickly adapt. Overall, we had a nice 10 day stay and its very close to Franklin for shopping and dining. The road sign on the highway says Mountainside road, not Big Ridge road.

Mountain getaway

The view is very nice but a little difficult to navigate to. The heat was not on when we arrived and it was much later than we expected due to a traffic accident so it was very cold. It warmed up pretty quickly but due to heating with propane it was very difficult to regulate and was never very comfortable. Its a pretty place and the host was very nice but i dont think i would stay again.

Response from VrboOwner on Jan 27, 2022
It's unfortunate that the guest did not read the instructions I sent or reached out to me if they were cold. There are several sources of heat in the house. The propane gas I explained was not an effective source of heating. There's a split unit in the house that heats the house quite adequately.? They're also additional wall and window units for heat and air as well as baseboard and tower heaters. The road to the house Is very easily navigated. The Only section of the road that was difficult for some guests was paved Last year and goes directly to the carport. If you have a fear of heights this probably isn't the place for you as it is on top of the mountain and we are quite clear on that fact in our description. If you have any questions, please feel free to message me prior to booking a reservation. Mary
