The cabin was built in the 1970's and still has that rustic, primitive feel to it. The walls are made with logs that still have the bark attached to them, taking you back to a simpler place and time. The inside has been updated with new modern amenities; flooring, stainless steel appliances, kitchen cabinets with quartz counter tops, new bathrooms, mattresses with linens, farmhouse table, and much more. There is also a new washer and dryer in the basement.

The decor has a rustic, industrial feel. The cabin has three private bedrooms on the main floor, two with queen beds, one with king bed, and one full bathroom with a vanity, tub, and shower.

The best view

The cabin was everything we wanted for our family vacation in the mountains. The view was amazing! The cabin was very clean and spacious. We grilled out and used the fire pit for roasting marshmallows almost every night. The kids loved the game room and outdoor activities. There was something for everyone to enjoy at this beautiful cabin.

Amazing Mountaintop View & Peaceful

We stayed the week after Christmas. My two teens had fun inside and out. My wife relaxed and I went gem mining just down the mountain. Great restaurants in Franklin, and very quiet place to rest and relax. Plenty of firewood and very clean. Great place to stay for sure.

Awesome Cabin in the Mountain

This place is an excellent summer vacation/getaway spot for a family and can sleep 10. The cabin had everything we needed and we had no issues. T-Mobile service didn't work for my Aunt, but my AT&T service worked well there.

Rustic cabin charm with modern day comfort.

We had a wonderful time in this great roomy cabin with a lovely fireplace and gorgeous view! We felt like we were in a snowy Christmas puzzle scene. Owners thought of everything. We like to cook and the kitchen suited our needs very well. We will be back!

Grandeur of Creation

This Was a wonderful family gathering place. The serenity and beauty were matchless! The cabin itself is well appointed, equipped and a credit to it's owners. At this time the approach to the cabin is better navigated with AWD or 4 wheel drive. Also, it is not suitable for handicapped or mobility challenges persons. I would still rate it at 5 star!

Awesome

We truly enjoyed this property. We wanted to take our Grandson, his wife and our 4 Great Grandchildren to the mountains. This cabin was perfect for us. Everyone had a bed to sleep in and we all loved the game room. The drive up the mountain was a little scary with it being gravel and rock and really just one lane, but we made it fine. I would recommend this cabin to anyone, the view from the front porch was just amazing!

Beautiful view, beautiful cabin.

This cabin is very nice. Comfy beds, spotless, so many nice touches outside. We did have trouble with road up to cabin. We were in a Toyota Highlander with a hitch full of luggage and 4 adults. The road is bumpy and steep. If you are used to mountain roads you will be fine in normal weather. The cabin really is amazing. Angelo was extremely helpful and easy to work with.

Excellent House

This is a wonderful choice for a family vacation to the mountains. Our oldest daughter is attending WCU so we went up for a family visit. The house is beautiful and has everything you need. From games to a fully stocked kitchen. The view is amazing also! The gem mine at the bottom was a big hit for our 8 year old! The host truly thought of every detail for their guests. Would love to book again for our next visit in the spring.

About the host

Hosted by Angelo & Tina Tarallo

Host profile image
We are Angelo and Tina from Tampa, Fl. We have 4 kids, Cheyne, Nickki, Anthony, Austin and 5 grandkids, Vail, Quinn, Mila, Neville, and Vada. Our dream was to own a quiet little place up in the mountains for our family, which we finally found. Our dream came true in Jan 2018 and we just love it. We are getting ready to retire in a few years and hopefully use our cabin full time. As for now, we would like to share our dream with you :)

Why they chose this property

We have family up here who told us about Franklin and after a small vacation , we were set to find a place. After a few months of looking we found our place. Built in the 70's it was a run down cabin that needed TLC . My wife and I fell in love with the place and saw there was potential in this charming cabin. Close to our family , a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the mountains.

What makes this property unique

Close enough to town for shopping and restaurants but nestled in the Smoky Mountains with a great view, fire pit, lots of activities, games and tons of relaxation spots.
