What an amazing cabin! To open the door and be steps from an amazing waterfall is hard to beat! The cabin had everything we needed and was close to everything. We spent time in Highlands and Franklin and many stops in between. We wished we could have stayed longer. Don't hesitate to book.

Property sits in a very serene setting with sounds of the waterfall permeating the area. Very green lush forest with all kinds of birds. Relaxing, Relaxing, Relaxing. Very close to all the local mountain towns with lots of hiking trails, breweries, coffee shops, and eateries. Loved every minute!

Very nice with a central location between Franklin and Highlands. The deck overlooking the waterfall is was beautiful. We had one rainy day which transformed the small waterfall to a full blown gusher.

The house is in a wonderful place, can’t wait to come back in the spring summer and fall. My only issue was the stink bugs. No biggie though. The waterfall is peaceful and beautiful.
