The cabin was super clean and very well stocked. Steve was really friendly during all our communications and helped with any questions. We previously read reviews about The drive up the mountain to the cabin, but it was NOT difficult at all. We loved the area and had a great time

Best VRBO experience ever!

We absolutely loved this cozy cabin up in the mountains! This was the best and easiest experience I’ve had with vrbo and I would love to stay at this place again. Great host and great communication. The hot tub and fire pit was a huge plus especially with this time of the year we used both every day we stayed!

Peaceful

This home is wonderful. It is far enough out that there is complete silence at night while we sat around the fire or in the hot tub, but still close enough to access lots of fun activities and amenities. We fell in love with the area!

Perfect place to relax

Loved everything about the property. Furniture was very comfortable, had fire wood onsite for us to have a fire in the fire pit, and the hot tub was awesome too. Went gem mining at Rose Creek gem nine and had a beer at Currahee Brewery. Highly recommend both. We will be back here for sure - the fall colors have to be amazing!

Christmas Getaway

We had a lovely time at the cabin. It is private and peaceful and close to Franklin and Highlands. It takes a bit of time to get down the mountain, so meal planning ahead of time helps with that. There are plenty of places to relax inside and outside of the cabin and the scenery is beautiful. Internet works great if you need to do some work. We hope to get back there next year!!

Amazing cabin with a great view

We had such an amazing time spent with family at this wonderful cabin. The host made sure to provide all the necessary items as well as the perk of a wonderful spice collection in the kitchen! Everything about the cabin screams beauty and relaxation with amazing scenery, relaxing hot tub, comfortable campfire seating and fire pit, large family room with many games to play and enjoy with the family. Overall a wonderful stay with much fun and many laughs shared.

Beautiful Mountain Vacation

This cabin was wonderful for our family’s Thanksgiving gathering. It is beautifully decorated and so cozy. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for cooking. The downstairs was amazing for the kids, with two bunk beds, games, and a big TV. We enjoyed time outside by the campfire, watching the sunset over the mountain ridge, and hiking up and down the dirt/gravel road that the cabin is on. Wonderful weekend. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin with us.
