This property is simply stunning with beautiful views from the balcony and plenty of rooms for guests and fur babies to spread out comfortably. The hot tub was a great addition, and I'm sure the table top fireplace would have been lovely had we used it. The outdoor grilling area was fantastic to cook our dinners and eat together, and the firepit area was probably my favorite part. Tiffany was very communicative and caring. Overall I would absolutely recommend this cabin for anyone looking to unwind and get slightly off the map.

Property owner very accommodating and willing to help you get settled in. Beautiful porch where you can swing away your stress while enjoying Gods majestic creation. Make sure to use google maps vs apple. Otherwise you’ll end up on some man’s land who likes to harass others. Billy goat gruff 😆

Fabulous

The House, property and amenities are wonderful. The welcome snack all -especially the teens and kids loved. Complimentary coffee super nice touch! Views spectacular! Had a hard time starting a fire - but the table with fire was a huge hit to sit around and talk - and feel cozy! Checking out was easy. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you.

Home away from home

Clean, full of thoughtful details, the kitchens were well equipped, the bathrooms had very nice towels. The basement spot is more like a separate apartment, you have to go outside and down the stairs to get to the other living space. We used the upstairs as the primary meeting spot. I loved the master bath … SO nice. Caution - the hills around the house are steep, we stayed on the roomy and well equipped porches and had lots of family time around the fire pit. This is a great place.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The weather was beautiful and it was so enjoyable to sit on the deck and enjoy the view. Very peaceful and quiet cabin at end of the road. The weather became chilly during the latter part of our stay at which time we were able to make use of the wonderful fire pit area (wood was furnished). Kitchen was well stocked and the beds were super comfy. We did have a few problems at the beginning of our stay which Tiffany was on top of and they were resolved very quickly. She was easy to get in touch with and responded very quickly. We definitely would stay here again. A little info for future renters-- there is no ice maker or ice trays on either floor so we did have to make several trips back down the mountain for ice, wish we had know before we arrived. Thankfully, Dollar General was nearby. All in all we had a delightful time and would love to return again one day. Thanks so much, Tiffany.

nice but.....

we had a great time at RRR. The property owner was very responsive to our communications. The negatives are based on the need for updating the property. the sleeping arrangements were good .the view was fantastic and plenty of seating outdoors. Indoor seating form12 people were in adequate fortunately we were able to spend most of our time outdoors and with adventures outside the property. I would give the experience a 4 star

Thank you for your review, although there was nothing specifically even mentioned in regards to why it would be a 4 star stay. As far as dining arrangements for 12 there is a massive table with 12 chairs plus a bar downstairs, that is brand new and has received rave reviews. I’m glad you enjoyed the outdoor space and the amazing views.

Amazing place… already plotting our next stay here!

Visited for a week with my aunt and four year old daughter. Absolutely breathtaking view! The cabin itself is gorgeous and very comfortable. Great kitchen set up with everything you need to prepare a meal in. The beds were comfortable, my daughter loved the giant soaking tub to bathe in, and the outdoor living space was amazing! Plenty of room both indoors and out, even for a large group. We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit several nights, roasting marshmallows and making s’mores- my daughter states that was the highlight of the entire stay. The host was also so sweet to include a toy area where littles can take a toy home with them. The only thing I will say is that the final turn to cabin is a little butt clenching. On the days it was raining I was glad we had four-wheeled drive… though an all wheeled drive vehicle would probably handle the turn fine. We are already planning to come back next year with the entire family for a longer stay!

Amazing mountain views!

The highlight of this home was the view of the mountains from the decks - just amazing and ever changing! The house was very clean and beautifully decorated. Cabinets were adequately stocked with utensils, plates & mugs, and pots and pans. Location to town and nearby attractions was convenient. We went to Cherokee one day, and we went to see 4 waterfalls between Franklin and Highlands another day. We also did a couple of walks along the Little Tennessee River Greenway and visited FROG Headquarters which was a quaint, friendly coffee shop. Minor issues: internet was very weak, there is no kitchen table & chair set on the lower level which would be useful, the 2 bedrooms on the upper level are tandem which means you have to walk through one to get to the other, and having to take our trash and recycling to the recyling center was an inconvenience - it would be nice if that could be done by the cleaning team. Overall impression was very good and we would recommend to others.

Thank you for your review. The kitchen table for dining is located upstairs and is spacious for all to enjoy. Downstairs is where the games and fun are had with some barstool seating at the counter and a large grand deck with dining as well. Most guests enjoy the many different options. And yes there is no trash pickup in the mountains, the drop off is free and just around the corner from the home. Thanks for staying with us.

Heaven in the mountains!

I cannot say enough about our stay at this lovely mountain house. Everything was perfect. We traveled with our daughter and son-in-law and our son and a friend. My son and his friend stayed downstairs and we stayed upstairs with our daughter and her husband. It was perfect because there was a separate area downstairs for the “young folks” to gather later in the evening. We also had our pups with us and that worked our very well. Despite the stairs to downstairs being exterior, it was never a problem. The road up the mountain, once you turn on to Sunny Lane, was a bit hairy but none of us had a 4 wheel drive and all made it up just fine. It is only wide enough for one car so we were grateful that we never met another car going up or down. I love watching birds and the deck did not disappoint. Scarlet Tanagers, Pileated Woodpeckers, Red Bellied Woodpeckers, Carolina Wrens, White Eyed Vireos, Tufted Titmice and more! There is also a Hummingbird feeder, which I cleaned and filled, and a Ruby Throated hummingbird was a constant visitor. I was quite sad to have to leave. I would recommend bringing binoculars if you like bird watching. Thanks for opening your beautiful mountain home to us. We will be back!!!

The stay was great and we enjoyed the property very much. The view and the decks are great and the bedrooms are very comfortable. The kitchens had an ok amount of cookware to use, and the outdoor seating was a great place to enjoy dinner. The trash receptacle was overflowing, so there was garbage spilling out and there was no extra room for our trash bags. The host very quickly resolved the one issue we had and made sure we had everything we needed.

Very enjoyable stay with Amazing Views

The property was nice, comfortable and clean. The views were amazing. The host was very helpful and accommodating. The upstairs and downstairs are accessible from the outside entrances only so we decided that our children would all stay in the same upstairs bunk room. Made it cozy. The snacks, downstairs video games, and hot tub were a hit with the kids!
