This cabin is super cute, clean, and pet friendly. The bed we slept in was comfortable and the sheets were dreamy soft. We were very pleased with everything. We spent alot of time on the screened in porch just enjoying the quiet...we are hoping to make a return trip.

If you want peace and quite, to just get away from it all, I highly recommend this stay. It has a the comforts of home with none of the noise and lights. It was good to see so many stars at night, I had forgotten how beautiful they are. I was far enough away and yet close enough if needed, from the daily grinned. If I had to put all this in just one word, it would be, Wonderful !

very private.owner very responsive when we lost power after rain & wind storm caused tree damage in local area sending help to make sure we were ok power restored quickly. Saw too many deer to count, especially on rides in and out of Cowee Valley . Watched squirrels scampering in the trees from the screened porch. Even though we didn’t bring our dogs there were treats for them. Enjoyed our 30 day stay even though the weather was unusually wet , Franklin offered brew pubs, live concerts, singing on the square and antique shopping and there were even events at nearby Cowee school. Picked beautiful flowers. even peonies at Mitchells produce stand in nearby Oak Grove community along with fabulous corn tomatoes and peaches.It was a memorable month!
