This storybook cabin is located on 7 private mountainous acres in gorgeous Cowee Valley in Franklin, NC. A 400sq ft., modern, pine tongue and groove cabin. Heat and A/C via mini-split units, not noisy window ac units. Built in 2019 and newer to rental market. This rental has premier host status with exceptional guest reviews.
Contactless check-in and check-out makes it easy to come and go as you please.
Enjoy this fairytale property, that is easy to get to, in the Gem Capital of the World. All the conveniences of home, plus some.
Feel miles away from all the stressors of life, yet close enough to enjoy evenings in town at the many unique restaurants and shops main street has to offer. Spend your days kayaking at Nantahala Outdoor Center, gem mining, hiking, tubing or fishing at the many rivers and creeks in the area. While the cabin is a bit remote you are never far from all the activities you choose including the many parks and trails in the area.
Outdoors:
You will see wildlife from your covered porch with ample seating and party lights. You will thoroughly enjoy the 375 ft. of babbling creek and exploring the property. Drift off to sleep in the hammock or try your luck gem mining. (local gem dirt provided upon request)
The gravel patio has a dining table with umbrella for long peaceful conversations and meals outdoors. A gas grill and pizza oven are available to use if you love to cook.
Relax and enjoy the 2 fire pits. One is rustic with log seating and the other has all-weather Adirondack chairs. (Weather conditions/burn bans may affect use) Outdoor quilts available for those chilly nights. Outdoor towels are provided for sunbathing or creek adventures. S'mores never tasted so good!
Enjoy leaf viewing? It doesn't get any better than the Great Smoky Mountains. The colors are stunning and can be seen throughout the valley and any road you take. Take time to slow down and enjoy life for a bit.
Inside:
The kitchen is fully stocked for meal preparation and dining. Full bath with luxury linens and the most comfortable queen bed awaits you. The low loft is great for younger kids (4 yrs and older) with a queen size memory foam mattress.
The cabin has 3 flat screen TV's, board games and a video library.
Smaller washer and dryer and first few nights staples provided.
STARLINK is available with a few apps or sign on with your own Netflix or other app streaming accounts.
The cabin is stocked with paper products, toiletries and coffee for your first day or two. Consider stopping on your way in to pick-up food and other items you may need during your stay.
For the dogs: $75 per stay up to 2 pups
Your dogs will enjoy all the new sights and smells in this very pet friendly town. We provide furniture coverings, bowls, toys and a securely fenced yard. Outside hot water is onsite for washing off muddy paws after exciting adventures. Your pups will love this very dog friendly cabin.
Pet sitting may be available while you dine, travel and explore. (up to 4 hours. Ask for more info) Dogs must be supervised and may not be left alone at the cabin or on the grounds at anytime please.

There is a 1200 ft of scenic gravel/unpaved road to property. It is easy access but can vary with with weather conditions. During heavy rains it may get muddy and a bit bumpy. This is not a paved road. See attached video of drive in.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Lori and Chris
We are Lori and Chris Schubert. We have been in love with Franklin, NC for 20 years. We purchased this property when we first saw it and realized it's magic. We are from Northern Virginia and recently moved North Carolina full-time. We are avid dog rescue participants and understand how hard it is to vacation with pets. We hope you will feel at home and can pause and relax.
Why they chose this property
Romantic, secluded, peaceful. It doesn't get any more relaxing than this.
As you wander around the creek and woods, you will lose your sense of time and just learn to breathe again. Great place to reunite and unplug.
