About this property

Enjoy Amazing Smoky Mountain View in Large, Comfortable Home in Treetops!

Morning, noon or night you will enjoy the phenomenal view from the multi-tiered decks of this beautiful mountain retreat. Sitting on the upper deck gives the feeling of being in an treehouse. Our 2500 square foot house features both open and covered decks for outdoor fun. There are dining tables, porch chairs and a gas grill.

We are located in a mountainside, gated community with streams, a waterfall, a duck pond and a picnic area. The house is set on a quiet road with a concrete drive for easy access. You can enjoy taking long walks or bicycle rides right inside the gates of the community.

There is a warm cozy feeling in the large living/dining room area with its stone, wood-burning fireplace, cedar paneling and vaulted ceilings; you can see the mountains easily through the sliding glass doors. Our kitchen has everything you need - just bring the groceries. The downstairs family room has a wood stove, 2 sofas and a table for playing cards or games.

The upstairs features a large king-size master suite, with a private bath and doors that open onto the upper decks, as well as a queen bedroom and one with two twin beds. These two bedrooms share an additional bathroom upstairs. Downstairs has a queen size bedroom and an adjoining bathroom with a full washer & dryer. Additional sleeping is available in a queen sleeper sofa and a day bed with a trundle downstairs.

There are so many things to do in the area - hiking, biking, golf, parks, fishing, wildlife, horseback riding, shopping, restaurants, sightseeing, white-water rafting, gem mining, antique shopping, scenic drives, gambling just to name a few.

Nestled in North Carolina's southern mountains, Franklin is large enough to offer most everything you need, yet still have the peace and tranquility of the mountains. Spectacular waterfalls, fantastic hiking trails, pristine fishing streams and abundant wildlife are just a few of the many things available in this area. Each year Franklin offers numerous festivals and special events including Pickin' on the Square which features live music each Saturday night June through October.

Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We have stayed at this home previously. As always the home was beautifully kept and the views are outstanding. The previous renters forgot to leave the key. I contacted Mrs. Karla and she had a locksmith out to the property in no time. This home and owner are exceptional and I would highly recommend staying here to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation.

Very nice and we really enjoyed the house. The basement bedroom is very musty at first but luckily no one stayed in there. It aired out after a couple of days. We would return.

Price point is perfect for this place, it is located close to Franklin or Sylva...cashiers and highlands are an easy drive also. The place is clean but dated, not a big deal to us. I would stop at a grocery store on the way in or plan on going to dinner somewhere in Franklin or Sylva...then figure out what you need from the grocery store after taking inventory of what amenities are available in the kitchen. Bring a Candle or two if you are using the basement rooms, it has the old school basement odor. Great place! this was our second time at this location and will be heading back in the future...

Our family spent over a week in this beautiful home and had everything we needed. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed to cook for our large family and grocery stores and restaurants were relatively close.The beds were some of the most comfortable beds we have ever slept on and the view was just splendid! The neighbors dog (Mooch) was an added bonus as he would come and hang out with us on the deck.We enjoyed exploring the many small towns around this area and had plenty to do.The owner communicated with us throughout our stay and answered every question we had promptly. We would highly recommend this home and have it on our favorites for when we want to return to this area.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was very welcoming and accommodating. The kitchen was like being at home. The decor was inviting. Loved that the Christmas tree was still up. It was a little cold so we didn’t get to enjoy the deck as much as we would have liked so I guess we’ll have to book another trip when it’s warmer.

About the host

Host profile image

I live in Florida year round and get to the mountains as often as I can

Why they chose this property

After living in Florida for quite a while, I really missed the mountains. I love all the trees, and the views and the cooler weather. I had visited friends who own a home in the same area and loved it so, in 2005 I purchased my mountain house. When you stand on the upper deck, it feels like the trees are all around you, just like being in a treehouse. I am happy to share the beauty and so I decided to make my home a vacation rental.

What makes this property unique

As a person who travels with my pet, I felt it was important to make our house pet-friendly. I believe that those who travel with their pets are responsible pet owners and trust they will monitor their pets' behavior while staying in our home. We want all our four-legged friends to have a fun vacation too
