Just as it says… and better!

Our family of adults stayed over Christmas and had a wonderful experience. Beds were comfortable, had hot water and alllllllll we could ever want in games, cozy blankets and thoughtful touches all through out the house. Thank you, Brit! We plan on coming back in 2024!

Perfection

10/10...no notes ;) This property is exactly as advertised. We spent some time away from home as a family arpund the holidays and it was exactly what we needed. From the communication to the amenities to the location, it was all on point. They even had Christmas decorations up to make it feel festive and cozy. We drove about 45 mins to Bryson City for the Polar Express train ride one night and then stopped by Highlands Outpost (20 mins) the next day for snow tubing and s'mores. This is probably the best rental we've ever stayed at, and we'd stay again in a heartbeat.

Family Gathering

Outstanding venue to host our family gathering, we had 8 adults and 4 kids and plenty of room to spare at The Franklin Lookout. We also brought three well behaved dogs for a small extra fee and they were in heaven at this cabin. Britt goes above and beyond on all the accommodations in the house. I travel a fair amount and this is one of the nicest rentals I have stayed at. It has activities for kids, people, dogs and also has enough space for a calm, relaxing experience for anyone that is just wanting to unwind. My family goes to Franklin once a year, definitely check out Caffe Rel if you are in the area for food, odd location but outstanding food. Thank you for sharing your beautiful space with our family!

In the bedrooms, we've tastefully decorated and equipped the beds with high quality linens and pillows. In the bathrooms, you'll enjoy soaking in our large tubs with lavender bath salts and scented candles after a long hike.
