About this property

This cabin is just minutes from hiking on the Appalachian and Bartram trails, with breathtaking southern views of the Blue Ridge Mountains in NC and GA.

This cabin features livable porches, a huge rear deck, two claw foot tubs for out door soaking, a hot tub that fits 4 adults and an outdoor shower. HOT TUB, CLAW FOOT TUBS AND OUTDOOR SHOWER ARE NOT AVAILABLE DURING WINTER MONTHS (FROM 11/1 TO 3/15). Nearby activities include hiking, antiquing, waterfalls, golf, paddling, swimming (in the new Macon County water park); dining, and entertainment at the Smokey Mountain Center for Performing Arts. For short day excursions visit Highlands, Dillsboro , Sylva, and Cashiers. The Great Smokey Mountain National Park is only 45 minutes away. Two new breweries in Franklin are so convenient after a hike, paddle or antiquing. Lazy Hiker and Currahee Brewing Company are both great choices. We suggest you try both!!!

Peaceful getaway

Everything was as listed. The home was clean, beds were comfortable, hot tub worked as it should. This was a birthday/spring break getaway from the usual spots and I enjoyed every moment of it. We didn't even turn the TV on our whole stay. Just enjoyed the views, hot tub, and done some cooking out. I was nervous about the gravel drive but my little Honda had no issues getting to the cabin. Will definitely be back!

Oh My Gosh, the view !

We stayed a week at this cozy cabin outside of Otto, NC for the Christmas holiday. It was so quiet and relaxing - wish we could have stayed longer to explore the area. We still managed to do three hikes - Mud Creek Trail, Bartram Trail: Wallace Branch to William's Pulpit and Greenway Trail in Franklin. The cabin is equipped with everything you need - loved the decor. We met some friends for brunch at The Crown Restaurant in Brasstown on Saturday - they also serve dinner in the evening - highly recommend for a meal out. We prepared all the rest of our meals at the cabin. The beds were so comfortable - slept like a rock. The view from the deck was amazing - could spend hours looking at it. Thank you, Ed & Brenda, for sharing your lovely cabin with us. It was always be a fond memory.

Private & Serene Getaway!!!

This is an older, rustic, well kept, charming property with million dollar views. The outdoor shower, his and hers outdoor soaking tubs, and jetted hot tub offer unique, relaxing experiences with an awesome view! It has a well loved, homey and relaxing atmosphere. Nestled in the mountains with woods all around, it feels very quiet and serene. We highly recommend it and plan on returning this spring! Alan J. & Elizabeth K.

Relaxing vacation

This cabin is exactly as described. We planned on a relaxing weekend, and got that with this property. Some better supplies would be appreciated, such as more towels and soap/shampoo. The outdoor shower is a nice touch. I am installing one at home thanks to my stay. Would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Brenda Guglielmina

Our family purchased this property in 2008 for weekend escapes into nature and out of the city heat. We love to to entertain family and friends in our cabin, and continue to explore the area. Every season has its own special beauty and character and we take advantage of the region year round.

Why they chose this property

This property exemplifies the unique and rich biological diversity of the Southern Appalachian Mountains. Just east of the cabin in a hollow is a pure stand of yellow poplar trees, thus the name 'Poplar Cove'. A path to the west of the cabin wanders through a rhododendron to more surprise views. Early morning brings turkeys, grazing deer, and song birds. Its naturalist's delight!

What makes this property unique

Proximity to Atlanta, quiet, and much cooler temps. The elevation (3200 feet), combined with the shade and cooling effect of tree leaves, results in an average 12 degree decrease in daytime temperatures.Four person Hot Tub with view of the mountains! All the outdoor living spaces - its almost like camping with all the comforts of home.Closeness to an abundance of hiking trails.
