We loved everything about this cabin. It is absolutely beautiful inside and out. We’re already wanting to book it again for our next vacation. The owners really take time to make sure it’s an enjoyable stay.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cabin. It was so roomy and comfortable with all the amenities that we needed and more. It was also very well kept and clean. We would definitely consider staying here again.
The cabin was very spacious, clean, and had everything required for a comfortable stay. The location is convenient to several towns. Leaves were beautiful!!
We really enjoyed our stay over Thanksgiving and overall had a great experience at the cabin. No detail was missed and the Luisa was very accommodating letting us check in early. Franklin is just a short drive away and offers a great small town experience. Lots to do nearby, would definitely stay again.
We had a great time at the house. It was very clean and spacious and very comfortable. We loved sitting and relaxing on the porch. The house is a fairly close drive to Highlands and other small towns.
Every need was covered. The location beautiful. The cabin was wonderful. The only thing I regret is that I didn't book the property for longer, I will not make that mistake again.

House Located Near a Very Busy Highway
Lovely house and wrap around porch.
Unfortunately, it's in a neighborhood (not really in the mountains) and the noise of the highway is very loud.

Attractive cabin but near a busy road
We enjoyed our stay in the cabin and especially the large deck. We can tell the cabin was professionally designed and equipped. Nice beds. Unfortunately the road noise below is distracting.
My family stayed a few nights at this cabin and we had a lovely time! We have very high cleanliness standards and this house was kept in fantastic condition. From the kitchenware to linens to furniture - everything was very well maintained. It truly felt like staying at a hotel. We will definitely book this cabin on our next trip to NC!
The property/house is very beautiful!!! The house was clean, very peaceful and quiet.
The house/property is beautiful!!! The house was clean, peaceful & everything was in place for us to just relax. I reached out to the host and let them know what we would like to do on our stay. They provided literature for us making everything easier for us to decide. We would definitely like to visit & stay here again in the future.
We enjoyed our visit very much. The mountains out the window, the fireplace ( we bought starters), and they did have other things to use which we just did not have time for like the grill and downstairs recreation area. Beds were comfortable and you really felt like you were into cabinet life. It’s very convenient to the highway so that you can have a view of the mountains without having to drive up high to see it. Not being current with all the latest TV choices like Netflix, Hulu, peacock,etc. we be did not use the TV.
Pros.
Immaculate
Huge home
Nice, well equipped kitchen.
Comfortable bedding
Newer construction
Cons
View not as expansive as expected or depicted.
Two older homes close by.
Dusk to dawn lights from neighbors very visible from deck at night.
The property was extra clean and had everything you could ask for. From the view to the fireplace, we will be back.

About the host
Hosted by Robert or Malu
Originally from Maryland, where we enjoyed the Blue Ridge Mountains, now living in Florida. We used to vacation frequently in the Smoky Mountains but were not always impressed with homes we stayed in. We bought our home here because we enjoy the outdoors, we love hiking, the views, the waterfalls and all That the Smokies has to offer. When we decided to share our home so others could have the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, we wanted to make sure our guests would feel like this is their home away from home. Providing them with a comfortable, clean home, with the amenities we ourselves have come to expect. It is delightful to hear from our guests and read the reviews on how much they enjoy their stay in our home.
Why they chose this property
Beautiful mountain views from the wrap-around porch, where you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the Nantahala Forest.
What makes this property unique
A true cabin with all the modern amenities. Easy to access and close proximity to several waterfalls and scenic spots. Close to town for shopping and dining (Franklin and Highlands)
