About the host

Hosted by Kelli Chastain

Host profile image
We live near the beach in Florida. After making multiple trips to Franklin several years in a row, we decided to buy a home there. We love the mountains and love the Franklin area. It is a great jumping off point for so many activities. We especially love Dry Falls (on the Highlands Road) and going gem mining.

Why they chose this property

The shape of the house is so interesting and feels very spacious inside. We love that the house is easy to access (no long, climbing drives), but feels very secluded. But, what really sold us were the views.
