It was a beautiful place to stay with great views! Very clean and comfy! We had a great time and definitely recommend to anyone visiting this area! Just a short drive to waterfalls and lots of cute little shops
We loved our stay here! Secluded, beautiful mountain views from the back deck, plus the cottage is very cozy, clean, and well maintained. It has all the amenities you need.
Jennifer is great with communication and promptly replies to texts. The property is private with a great view. An AWD or 4x4 is necessary until the county improves the extremely rough parts of the dirt road. Arrive during the day you see the road and the awesome sunset. The management company, not the owner or VRBO, automatically charges a damage protection fee of 100 for our 4 night stay. This is a mandatory fee not imposed by VRBO.
Awesome view! Loved the house! It had everything we needed and was quite spacious for a "tiny" home. The host was very responsive. We would definitely recommend and would stay again.
This tiny home was wonderful - secluded yet close to plenty of hiking , waterfalls and towns for shopping and dining. The view from the back deck was beautiful - sunsets not to be missed! The host gave very clear directions to the property and the home was very clean.

I booked this for a Valentine's Day getaway with the intention of visiting the nearby towns, but the weather kept us from exploring. No problem, though; we loved staying in and relaxing at this little cottage. It was clean, very private, and has spectacular views from nearly every window. It's solidly constructed and very well insulated, so it was comfortable and quiet through the cold, wind, and rain we encountered during our stay. The host was very friendly and helpful. Definitely worth the trip - we loved this little place!
What an adorable little cabin! We absolutely enjoyed our stay at the Franklin Cottage! Perfectly secluded in the mountains if you any to unplug and get away but also not too far from towns like Franklin or the cute downtown of Cashiers. We loved meals on the back deck with views of the mountains. Would have been even better if there was a hot tub on the deck. Our dogs loved being able to run and go for walks leash-free. The cottage had pretty much everything we needed for the weekend except for a grill. Jennifer (the host) had great communication, left us a sweet welcome card and flowers. She even allowed us to check in early without issue. We would definitely stay here again!
My wife and I wanted to get away for some R&R and beat the heat. This little cottage was perfect. Amazing sunset views and beautiful views of the big valley below. Very clean and appeared to be almost new. We loved how secluded it was and quiet. No noise pollution! Close to Franklin, Highland and Cashiers, NC. A great place to escape to!
