Amazing view and very nice house. Location is a bit out of town but that just makes it accessible to multiple areas and great for outdoor adventures in area. Would definitely recommend and would not hesitate to stay again if we revisit this area. Hot tub is great and kitchen is well equipped. Great spot for family and friends.
Amazing! Excellent views. Perfect hot tub in the cool mornings. The kitchen was well stocked for meals with some seasonings even available. Cozy beds. Close to downtown Franklin to enjoy multiple bookstores, great restaurants (like Gracious Plates and Caffe Rel!), and nice weather. Would love to stay here again!
This rental was amazing, simply put. Pictures of the view don’t do it justice and the inside has a ‘hallmark’ vibe; warm and inviting. Proximity to surrounding cities was perfect and might be the hidden secret to this home. Allowed us to visit Franklin, Bryson City, and Cherokee without feeling it was unnecessarily out of the way. Our host was fantastic and extremely communicative, ensuring our stay was perfect. We would stay again and again!
This was our second visit to this exquisite home - very comfortable, well-stocked, serene surroundings, and *amazing* views which seem to change every time you look! Highly recommend.
Such a stunning home with amazing views. They have everything you need in the kitchen and cozy sheets and towels. The views are absolutely breath taking.
The host was excellent, the cabin, words just can’t express the beauty, it is just like the pictures, only better .Morning coffee in the hot tub, afternoon hikes in the mountains , relax after dinner to the amazing views alongside the fire !10 out of 10 only down side is not enough time .Thank you for sharing your beautiful Cabin Home !!!!

Thank you so much for capturing the beauty of our majestic mountain location in your own words! We always love when our guests can completely enjoy the solitude and serenity that our location and home provide!
Super comfortable mountain abode. Easy access and close to Franklin and 1hr to Highlands. Incredible views for the fall season. Beds are very comfortable, the towels are lux and the provided toiletries are a nice touch. The kitchen is extremely well appointed. The hot tub is cozy and offers an outstanding view of the mountains. The fireplace is nicely situated (if you want a fire take long burning pressed fire logs). Highly recommended and plan on staying here again.
Unfortunately Winter Storm Fern caused issues with our stay & we had to leave early. However, the hosts we very supportive and communicative. The residents was lovely and I would return in the future - weather permitting ;) We did venture into Franklin and enjoyed strolling around Main Street. Note to those brining a dog - there is not a ton of walking spaces near the house except the road - so be aware. My dog loved it but I wanted to make sure I was careful and considerate of curbing her business.
This home was absolutely beautiful. The views are spectacular and the home had everything we needed.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We are so proud that so many people love staying at our mountain getaway! Please come back again when you have time!
Great weekend getaway! The cabin is nestled in the mountain with amazing views. Kitchen and toiletries were well stocked and the bed was very comfortable. We drove into town (20 minutes) for dinner, brunch, and hiking. Highly recommend for couples.
Wonderful views from the deck and very comfortable. Listing is detailed and accurate. Well worth a visit!

Why they chose this property
Being avid outdoors enthusiasts, we could not have picked a better place to build our dream home! It is perfectly located between Franklin, Bryson City and the Nantahala River area. Hiking, rafting, fishing, waterfalls, mountain biking, gem mining, restaurants and great shopping are just a few of the things within minutes of the home. Our home is an easy drive from the Asheville or Atlanta airports and within a 6 hour drive to over 25 large cities! Our location allows you to feel like you are 'away from it all'... yet it is close enough to run in to town if you need anything. Our view is a live, ever changing canvas of National Forest with layers of beautiful mountains!
What makes this property unique
One of the main reasons we love our home is the access to the Little Tennessee River. The river flows just a 5 minute walk away from the home! It is one of the most majestic rivers you can find. Our relationship with the Great Smoky Mountain Fish Camp allows us to help you plan your river activities! Just ask when inquiring about our home and we will be glad to put you in touch with them! The home offers absolute tranquility. Fresh coffee and sitting out on the deck listening to the wildlife in the early morning is an unforgettable experience! Watch as the sun lights up the incredible mountain range! This has become a 'guests favorite activity'. We invite you to come and stay with us to see why!
