This home has a very warm and inviting feel. Was very clean and very well stocked. Although we didn’t have any children in our party there was plenty of outdoor access for children to run play and have a good time. The kitchen is extremely well stocked. Conveniently located to town.

The kitchen was everything you could ask for and more. At times, we had 4 people doing different things at the same time without congestion. Lots of fun yard things to do. Very centrally located but private. Beds were very comfortable. Internet was great and check out was a breeze. Definitely on our list for the future.

Wonderful New Year's Getaway❤️

We really enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was a dream to prepare meals and we enjoyed the variety of space on the property. It rained a lot while there so we were unable to really enjoy the outside but took advantage of the game cabinet. Communication was excellent and location was perfect. We hope to stay again.

Cute place!

Sweet house! This has just about anything you could think of and a well stocked cooking kitchen. The back deck was a perfect hangout under the canopy of trees with the little waterfall sounds. Owners were quick to respond to any questions and there is a book telling house to use everything too. Would stay again!

Wonderful place to stay

We spent four nights at this VRBO which is very convenient to downtown Franklin. We had six adults, an aunt and two nieces plus husbands. These owners really know how to run a VRBO. Spacious home with a fully stocked kitchen. Perfect for 6 people (plus another bed). Checking in and out were both very simple. These owners have thought of everything you might want and have provided it. Highly recommend that you spend some time at this VRBO. Couples were from Hickory, NC, Concord, NC & N. Myrtle Beach, SC.

My family and I absolutely loved the house. There is plenty of room for 6 people. The deck is large and peaceful. The extra studio apartment was a fantastic addition for our family. The house is a close drive to downtown Franklin and only 40 minutes from Bryson City. I would highly recommend the house.

Franklin Rock & Gem Show

This is an outstanding property with an inviting atmosphere and a very well furnished interior. The kitchen is amazing with its amount of windows. Property is close to downtown and easy access off of a main road. Definitely will try to get again next time we attend the rock show.

Why they chose this property

We are just outside of town yet on the road to the famous gem mines. We are located on the highway to the famous Tail of the Dragon! It is considered “the destination” for thousands of motorcycle and sports car fans throughout the spring, summer, and fall. Can you brave it? It’s best to be cautious as the turns are tight, but the Tail of the Dragon is guaranteed to be the ride of your life.
