Wonderful small cabin. Great view from the deck and very pleasant all day in the covered and screened patio. Access road is a little adventurous but well worth the effort. Shopping is close and easy in Franklin.

The cabin was very easy to get to- no need for AWD and not a long journey from the main road. I was greeting by butterflies who were visiting the wildflowers growing along the parking area and could watch them from the screened in porch! The cabin is very cute and cozy with a lovely view that faces East, so you are greeted by the sun on the mountains in the morning. The shower feels great after a day of hiking with no hot water issues, the kitchen has tools you need to make simple meals, the bed is very comfy and the towels/sheets smell amazing. This is a perfect cabin for a quick solo getaway, like mine, as your nearest neighbors aren't too far away, but you still enjoy privacy. The cabin has blankets/pillows galore, good WiFi and a TV with streaming available to cuddle up and watch a show. If you want a sweet little cabin that's easy to get to, safe (there are cameras mounted and solar lights at night) and cozy, this is a great option!
